I'm flying on BA0052 LHR - SEA on the 26th June and I didn't book my seat and there are no single seats left, could you advise as to which is the best out of these that are left please.
10 E&F
12 F
13 E&F
14 E&F
15 F
I know I should have booked them earlier but was hoping I wouldn't have to pay the £75 fee.
Many thanks

In addition to the above, 11K, 15A, 15E, 15K are blocked. I would take 15F now and look to change to 15A if it becomes available 3 days before the flight.

Thanks to FT I've managed to save enough Avios and get a companion voucher and have booked Mrs Revenge and myself for a trip to the Caribbean next April. It will be my first ever time flying longhaul business class so I'm very excited! 
I've looked through the forum but haven't found general advice on which CW seats to pick. They are all available and 2A/2B (772 3-class config) look good to me but is there any general advice seat selection for a nice romantic flight?
Also I'm guessing front is good for choice of meals but having never flown CW before I don't even know if the food service starts at the front of the cabin. Sorry if I've missed these answers elsewhere.
Thanks!

Actually I only had it once when they ran out of the starter I wanted. I gave them the very p*ssed look, they ended up giving me whatever they have up in First.

Currently booked into 13A both ways on a return 772 flight to KUL.
Also have 64B on a 744 on the sleeper from BOS (64A is blocked) and 53A on the A380 from LAX and IAD (also overnights).
Am I missing anything obvious? The outbound legs to the US are in WT or WTP in each case.

They distribute a menu pre-flight or early flight. Come back later to take your order. There's no trolley service and they shouldn't run out of choice.

BA does often run out of options and if you have low/no status you may be stuck with the last/worst option of starter and main.
I would take 64K, 63A/K, 62A/K over 64B.

To add to nux's reply, 64B is liable to suffer from light and noise from the toilet every time someone goes in and out. It's similar to 60B in this respect. Even 64J would be better than 64B.

64K isn't available, but 63 and 62 A/K are available...
I've currently switched to 63K but presumably there is no aisle access without stepping over 63J. However, on balance, I'd rather be stepping over than stepped over (I think).

On the basis that 63AK have direct aisle access and I can therefore sleep undisturbed, and it's a night flight so I'm unlikely to notice the difference from the window until I land at Heathrow (and frankly I'm doing that twice on this trip) I'll go with 62J as 62K can get direct aisle access and I can sleep undisturbed.
Thanks all and apologies for wibbling.
