I would second the successful redemption threads as that is the one thing I miss the most. It is a good reminder of how easy it was to get travel the world at the pointy end for relatively few miles.
And adapting the topic slightly, what is the most likely thing you were likely to see in a thread on the bmi forum? My initial responses for that would include:
Cheese Toasties
LOLcats
A random and often unrelated mention of Beirut. (Sorry
BA6501!
)
Dennis at the ICC and his Sudoku book
A bmi site IT mess up
Feel free to add more.
