Well as Catman suggested I was 'in-air' or rather 'off-air' for a couple of days, as I was trying one of the new satellite 'phones with my lap-top.

It didn't work - well that is not quite true, the 'phone worked, but my laptop died a quiet death.

How's this for being a FF, I keep a spare lap-top at home for just such emergencies.

I travelled back to Heathrow from Parsi-CDG yesterday, I had time to look in the suggestions book in the BA Club/Exec lounge - if you are ever there, check out the book - it is so funny, there are some great tales of how people have wangled upgrades, access to the lounge etc. It is so good it should be published.

My assault on the Concorde Lounge at Heathrow on Wednesday was no fun at all. They just let us all straight in. C'est la vie.

Off to Moscow on Sunday night, now that will be fun!!
MERRY FLYER
