Last Friday a mate of mine booked flights to Dubai, Saturday the balloon went up. He ain't happy.

I have another mate who is currently in Cairo and was about to head off to Jordan. He's rebooked to go down to South Africa for a couple of weeks.

I heard a chap in Aldi this morning, saying he was due to go to Abu Dhabi tomorrow. Flight cancelled. From what I heard him say he reckons he'll lose most of his money. He's me thinking he might not have taken out adequate insurance or didn't read the small print. He also was not happy, but then the lady at the till said 'its only money and at least you'll be safe at home....!!!!!!! I'm not so sure on both counts..!!
 
Going to Gibraltar for a short break in a couple of weeks .
Mon-Fri .

I don’t mind cooler weather , but even I’m sick of the rain we’ve had .

Current forecast for when we’re out there is sunshine / cloudy / showers .
So a right mixed bag .

Anyone been before ?
I’m along the coast in Nerja next week and the current forecast is similar, when it’s usually better by now, so suspect we might be a bit disappointed.

☀️ A British couple are walking down a street in Tenerife...

They turn a corner and see a sign that says,

'Billy's Bar - ALL drinks €0.10'

They look at each other and then go in, thinking, this is too good to be true.

They order a pint of lager and a cocktail and sure enough once the drinks are on the bar the English bartender says that'll be 20 cents please

The couple cant believe their luck. They finish their drinks and order the same again. Sure enough the drinks are poured and the barman says that'll be 20 cents please

Curiosity gets the better of them and the woman asks the barman how he can afford to sell drinks so cheaply

The bartender says "It was always my dream to own a bar in Tenerife and last year I won £104 Million on the euro millions so i opened this bar and ive got enough money that i don't have to worry about making any profit."

Happy with the story the couple congratulate him and order another round of drinks

As the man is supping his beer he can't help notice three old blokes sat in the corner without a drink infront of them who've been sat there without a drink the whole time they've been in.

"What's the deal with them three over there?' The man asks the bartender.

"Those three are retired people from Yorkshire. They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half price.' The barman replies.
 
In Nerja now, very pleasant today but forecast to be cooler tomorrow before picking up again. Gives me more time to figure out the best way to watch the game tomorrow night.
Don’t think there’ll be any bars showing it with the CL games on, so figure I’ll be watching on my Virgin App if I can figure out how you do it without a red button or watch it via the Club website.
 
Anybody know who is good for airport taxis to Manchester airport to get a quote for 8 seater ? Not used a private taxi in Hull for about 10 years , and just googled and don’t recognise hardly any names or numbers , where’s Cotta Cars when you need them .
