Re: Your flights 2024

GLA-BHX-GLA tomorrow. Business meeting in Brum then I’ll get a train from Birmingham to London Euston for a gig in Camden, AirBnB in Marlybone then do it all in reverse the next day.

LTN is already bursting at the seams with all the W6 activity at times. God only knows how they'll cope with this. It's gone from being one of my favourite London airports to my most hated. I'd rather fly through STN and that's saying something. :)

Re: GLA Sold

I'm just glad AGS are gone. They need to get rid of all the previous management too and start from scratch. I'm sure they'll have their own top dogs ready and waiting. Also, hopefully they'll not manage the three airports as a 'group' and develop each one with autonomy, or sell off ABZ and SOU and k...

Re: Wizz Air Winter 2025 as of 12th Nov 2024

Wow! I know W6 don't have their troubles to seek but that's it still? A twice weekly to Budapest? Hardly worth them bothering and the flight times? I can see them buggering off again soon enough.

Re: All things music...

Kylie (obviously) but can also stretch to Garbage Kylie and I fell out a few years ago when she last played in Scotland. I'm pretty sure she said she'd meet me for a couple of pints in the Red Fox (hotel in Bishopton) but she went to Mar Hall instead and never showed up. I'm pretty sure she said th...

All things music...

We did have a thread on music way back in time and thought it was high time we had another. So, feel free to enlighten us with what's tickling your fancy at the moment be it albums (is that still a thing?), concerts or just what you're watching on YouTube etc...

Re: Interesting Movements 2024

MCO route from GLA must've been full of the shell suit/track suit brigade that you just don't get in EDI? ;)
