nwa

I am sitting in the business class lounge(*) at Schiphol Airport as I type this and wanted to tell you that I can see SEVEN nwa aeroplanes from here. The power of code sharing airlines then?

Would you pay for someone to count your money?

I was told this morning that the Yorkshire bank charges you for counting bank notes that you pay into your bank account with them.

I find hard to believe but I am assured it is true.

I would change banks if they did that to me.

Colder out than in

Air conditioning can be very convenient of course but when one goes outside to warm up, someone needs to turn the air con temperature up a notch or two.

Risque but worth thinking about

I know some youngsters read this blog so I try to be careful what I write. This is a bit risque but here goes.

The other week I was walking round Dubai and came across a neon sign above the entrance to a supermarket. Except that that the letter u was not working.

Now, without me spelling it out for you, see the effect that the loss of the letter u has on the word supermarket. Then add a touch of creative thinking.

It's one to make you smile maybe rather than giving you a big belly laugh but you heard it here first.

Boffin Advice Needed

I bought a Nokia N95 in Dubai a while ago and when I recharge the battery in Dubai, it is fine.

When I recharge the battery in the UK it only holds that charge for around 24 hours.

Anyone know why this happens?

Wafi Centre

Here's a recommendation for you.

I have eaten at Carter's Restaurant in the Wafi Centre here in Dubai twice this week and I thoroughly recommend the place.

Good food, good atmosphere, good waitresses and waiters.
