Cheaper than a chip wrapper

An eighth of mine is English, a sixteenth Irish, a sixteenth Scottish[1]
and the rest Maltese.

[1] Grandad was 1/2 English, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Scottish brought up in
Carlisle and Liverpool.

 

I*T*YF that the correct name is "Kuwaiti Things".

I've amended my .sig accordingly, as a mark of respect.

Heh. You know the most annoying thing about travelling around the ME,
is the fact that I tend to end up with a collection of notes, that I
don't use for ages. Lots of money, but not enough in each currency to
get it changed back into euros ('cos of the commission). The last time
I worked it out, it came to about £200.

Most of the time, I don't mind, but Saudi is not one place I'm going to
in the near future.

In fact, this is better...

 

I know what you mean. When I did a lot of Europe, with Lucent, I
commonly had seven or eight currencies in my wallet. When the Euro
came in, I changed them all into the fine and noble Pound Sterling. A
hundred and fifty of them.

At the moment, I've got a load of Qatar Riyals, almost no Kuwaiti
Dinars (an underling is running out to collect our lunch), too many
Dubai Riyals, some USD, a few Euros and some noble Pounds Sterling.

Terrible trouble getting work visas for there at the mo.

 

This can't go on.

Otherwise Des would have:
"More French than Charles De Gaulle" in his.

Mebbe, but on many cheapo airlines they will be fuelled up for outward
and return legs (or vice versa), due to national price differences.
The extra weight/cost is much less significant for short-haul
operations and may well be more than offset by greater predictability
from selling more seats earlier.

Is it worth the risk?

I've heard that Bahrain is going the same way as Saudi too. I'll just
have to remember to wear a towel on my head, when I go there.

 

itym "more French than Charles Haughey"

I work it out as you being quite a bit more spiccy than me, having been
born there and all. We have an equal percentage of spic genes though.

 

Salad Dodger says...

Spic-wars!

 

The food and drink isn't free - in fact nothing in included on the
tickets except taxes and the chance of sitting in a plane with hordes
of pikeys..

Phil

 

Yes they do - an important part of the airline computer system in
Weight & Balance calculations[1]. They do try to make sure that the
plane is loaded as evenly as possible so that they don't keep having to
correct as that wastes fuel.

Which is why most of the budget airlines are owned by big airlines with
deep pockets..

I wasn't born there, but will go along with the spicness count of genes.

..sig amended again

No I didn't write this. Get your attributions right, Phil.

 

Remember: Chico's.

 

Always the fucking UNIX nerds, isn't it, that can't get attributions
right.
