KNITTING???  I think you are mixing me up with someone who can knit one purl one......

When really I end up saying....Oh damn it...and chuck it in the bin....

I can't think of one thing I ever finished knitting

I've got one up on you there then. I once knitted a place mat as a bet with my wife

Mind you it took me a week and had more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire (as the song goes!).

Anyway, back on topic, I hope everything is sorted before my next trip to Thailand!

Nothing different from last time for me this morning.
Just the usual laptop out and toothpaste in a plastic bag......

Did you notice any extra security at the boarding gates? I would expect there to be added checks there on any US related flights?

[MI5]

Nothing different at all jonsie....
Either no one has told the staff at BHX or it is been done very covertly

[Cleoriff]

It will come into force when I fly in two weeks...I betcha

[Cleoriff]

Not really into the ball game of resurrecting topics...

However, this morning we had news about the Dept Of Transport extending this new security measure to European flights as well as those to the US....

A much earlier trip to the airport will be required I think, if you are carrying any electronic devices....
