The Virtual Lounge

[Anonymous]

well, fluffy onesie on + donkey brown boottee-tyle slippers

cuppa Twinnings tea = everyday variety, decaff + s/sk milk = no sugar +

Blue Ribband original choccy bic to hand

checking on my cat Marvellous Marty the Magnificent = beside me in his pet-bed under the wooden desk 

on which new basic desktop printer will be put = on or around next payday ..... I mean upon the wooden desk not upon the cat  

kicked my old basic Epson printer in frustration many many months ago 

therapeutic for me for about 3 nano-seconds but really, really bad for the printer 

well, let's see if there are many takers for my initial entry into the off-top unofficial world of 'the lounge area'

Thank you SO much for that expert very descriptive explanation @viridis 

All I noticed ...as I wasn't given the heads up....was that the clouds had cleared and hoped it was looking good  for the eclipse on Friday....*Sniffs*....

[viridis]

Oh the eclipse is 100% going to be visible to all........

.......those on-board a plane.

You need to hurry....

Solar eclipse flights
A number of tour operators have chartered planes to fly groups to viewing points in Scandinavia but many of these packages are now completely sold out.
The private jet chartering company PrivateFly is currently offering personalised itineraries to those who would like to charter their own jet up north. As an example, a trip from Manchester to the Faroe Islands by private jet, staying overnight on March 19 and returning on March 20, would cost £10,400 if chartering a six-seater Citation CJ2 jet, or £1,730 per person. London departure costs are similar....

Well actually @jonsie I wasn't thinking of chartering a flight (at £1000+)

I was thinking more along the lines of my usual flight to Spain

[jonsie]

You would have to pay extra to view it on Ryanair....
