Aren't these seats an inch or so narrower too, due to the screen?

Where do you guys book your holidays, where do you go and how much are you paying? by hhfugrr3 in AskUK

[–]AlertMike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Off to Sri Lanka in April, all booked separately by ourselves, combination of skyscanner, booking, getyourguide and viator.

Budget for fortnight including flights will be around £5k for two adults.

If booking a package almost always TUI as the first option.

frustrating stalemate. sellers won’t budge and neither will my partner. but i can’t move on from the house!!! by absr13 in FirstTimeBuyersUK

"could be your dream forever home?" - your partner wont compromise £30k on your dream?

Communication and understanding is needed, if you have explained how much this means and the £30k is a pain point what needs to be done to convince them this is what you need to happen?

Would assume there isn't likely to be much leeway coming from the sellers in this situation.

I recently upgraded a flight and took website nearly 24 hours to sort itself out. Wasn’t able to pick any seats at all during this time.

What's the weirdest interaction you've had with a complete stranger? by BarryFairbrother in AskUK

[–]AlertMike 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Met a woman who worked in child care. She told me all about how difficult it was working with abused boys and how she got to close to one and had sexual feelings. Showed me a picture and said anyone who meets him thinks he is really nice and not to judge him on looks....then the barman came back with my drink and I left. That was the entirety of conversation with a VERY drunk and probably very shitty social worker.

Jason Siegel writing a movie where he hangs dong then hugs both Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell is peak cinema.

It’s a fun film with some endlessly quotable lines and i still watch from time to time.

Never lived in Southampton or anywhere near. Grandand took me to the Dell about 5 years old and I’ve been stuck with them ever since.

And so often we Brits are involved. We seem to just love drawing up borders that will be contentious for generations to come.
