Went with Qatar airways last year pretty good service & seats all round (important for 13hrs travel time): Just flown to Singapore with Singapore airways on Monday: very similar service (but two meals Qatar were better):: big gripe with Singapore airways is their ‘extra’ costs for overweight luggage: their charges are horrendously high. Beware! Was quoted nearly a grand for extra 25kg bag…. Wife had to leave loads of shoes at home

My mates place in Portugal is half way up a mountain and he's got a couple of trials bikes, I've nearly mowed down a load of goats like that on several occasions...

Would not want to go up against one of those dogs, gave me a right mucky look when I drove off not waiting for all the goats to get up the hill, kids were late for school was my excuse… actually our gem’s place is right next to a road that winds up into the parka natural that is used by loads of trail bikers. It’s a bit rough on the arse in a car so probably not that fun on a saddle lol…

I managed to not hit the goats and navigated a valley and river bed quite smoothly, but then while just pulling to a casual stop on a perfectly flat bit of ground, I managed to fall off and drop the bike (exhaust first) onto my leg. Don't ride bikes in shorts kids.

You should offer to do the neighbour's pool. The pool boy tends to get added benefits, at least they do in the film's I've seen....

Reminds me of the old Trevino story.
Lee's tending the front of his garden by the roadside.
Smart lady in flash car pulls up, 'I say, how much do you charge for yard work?'
Lee: 'Well, the lady of the house lets me sleep with her.'
