Have had a really decent run lately booking HBO fares up to EDI. Always end up allocated in row 1 or 2. Mixture of aisle and window (aisle is my preference) but that's OK. Generally ending up with a spare seat next to me also in an otherwise full cabin.
Had a very strange message the other day though, that I've never seen before! Was sent via e-mail and SMS.

As my colleagues seem to be rookie travellers and were checking in their tiny carry on bags, I decided I may as well do the same. Was nice to not have to get the liquids out through security ^
