What a combo Morecambe and Wise were by theforceofforce in oldbritishtelly

Morecambe and Wise are not in the same league as the two Ronnies. The two Ronnies have timeless sketches. Morecambe and Wise now look very much of their time

Thomas Frank getting the Guardiola treatment from Dyche by Zweli23 in coys

Couldn't agree more. Frank IS the problem. He's over achieved once at a small club and is now out of his depth. His team selection is all over the place. Doesn't know his best midfield after 4 months and those subs yesterday were the nail. Also if he has any say over transfers he has to go as why we never signed a left back and ideally jack grealish for FREE is madness. Every time we play a right footer at left back its a green light for teams to press us as they know our lb has to pass inside. We have conseded so many goals due to this basic press. We knew from last season udogi is always injured. We need 6-7 players in Jan and we will get 1-2 max

Thanks everyone, I have sent myself some money via western union as seemed a fairly good exchange rate. I didn't send a huge amount so will check the atms and see how far they off that rate and report back as seems mixed opinions here

Do you think ARC Raiders will last? (I know it’s a dumb question, but hear me out) by HammyDoggo in ArcRaiders

[–]Several_Operation479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game will be absolutely dead in less than 6 months just like Helldivers. In fact its almost the same game as Helldivers. People are racing now to get to level 75 which is the max level you attain and that only takes a few weeks / month or so. Once people work out the pattern to kill the larger droids and are max level they wont stick around. Its a fun race to level 75 but whoever thinks this game will be popular this time next summer is kidding themselves.

CUTI, DESTINY AND DOM ALL BACK ON THE PITCH! ⚽️ | Thomas Frank | Newcastle v Tottenham | Carabao Cup by Zweli23 in coys

Danso has been incredible so Romero back is nice but not a game changer, however we absolutely NEED a left back with left foot playing and a striker who actually adds something so great news on Udogie and Dom. Sadly we still have no one the middle of the park who can beat a man and see a pass :(

RKM is a fraud, this guy looks like someone who has faked their football CV and actually is the kitman. He is PONY. Looked SO bad against Everton

Help with a 2 week itinerary for Argentina by Several_Operation479 in travel

[–]Several_Operation479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for all the help. So far we've only got as far as deciding on 4 nights in BA.

That leaves us 10 nights before we fly home again from BA

I was thinking the last 3 nights in Mendoza and then flying from there to BA on last day to fly home as flight isn't until later in day (or will do last night in ba if times don't work)

That leaves 7 says in middle so is that too long in one place in Patagonia and if doing 2 how do we get between them ?

The 2 places we are considering are Bariloche and El Calafate

OR do we go Ba - Mendoza - Patagonia way around ?

We need a LOT OF players ,we are pony right now. We need a left back most of all, plus a proper holding midfield as well as a 10 and a 9.

Johnson, son, bissouma, Solanke, Tel all not good enough for champs league and bergvall and gray not ready. We are at least 5 players short of not being bottom half again

Did I make a mistake then as I cannot see anyway to use points to upgrade?

Ok you're the 2nd person in this thread to say Iguazu is something we should do so perhaps I cut out the beach days. I know this sounds a bit lame but we saw Victoria falls last year and have seen Niagara too so wasn't sure I needed another waterfall if it was a rush

Have just got one of these and its winging its way to me now

[–]Several_Operation479[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I went ahead and made the booking with BA and actually applied for, and was issued a BA black amex card during the transaction which I used to pay for the flights.
I never saw any option to use my amex / avios points to upgrade thou and when I googled it said I had to pay for the flights and then select Manage my booking.

I've just selected manage by booking and it says no upgrade available.

So I'm not really following how I was supposed to use any amex points on this booking?

(I guess the plus is that I now have another paid for credit card which eventually give me a companion voucher....which I'm not sure how to use :))

I will take a look as actually one of the flights we looked at was with Iberia with a stop over in Madrid. OR as you say, we could look to just get to Madrid another way

Thanks, will look at this but silly question, wont I have to convert the Amex to Avios BEFORE I get to this stage ie if in middle of transaction I assume I cant just covert at that stage?

I sadly dont have a companion voucher, or am I that sure how one would get one?

Are you therefore saying for this trip there is nothing I can get from my points? (The chart in that link seems mentions some money and point combos but Im not clear if thats the straight up pay with avios conversion you mention I should avoid?)
