since you asked, why not...

Use the tried and tested 'shock and awe, Mission Accomplished' method: slide some greenback in alongside your paper ticket (and Tesco Tit anium card).

In all seriousness, I found a spreadsheet of my company's top 50 accounts, subdivided into various contracts etc.

Line 6: BRIT AIR


Under the "Top Parent Account" AIR FRANCE KLM.




Yeah, I don't know how we stay in business.

possibly because Brit Air (a Brittany based airline) is a subsidiary of Air France?

I don't know how you stay in business too

Well, that explains that. The rest of it...

Tickle her WHAT?????

Oh that - right.

Thought my luck had changed.

To the OP (I always want to call you Troy Tempest. Remember Stingray?! I was always Marina!)

If you see the name ''HIDDY'' you can expect vulgarity and innuendo of the worst kind - but don't be put off - thisis his only outlet for all tbe pent up filth in what passes for his mind.

PUCCI - shouldn't you be enjoying the wonders of ALC rather than giving HIDDY more food to feed off

Wonder why she went there in the first place. - Cheap TP's I suppose.

Personally I go for quality rather than chase coloured plastic.

The wonders of laptops! HIDDY when were you last in ALC? I lay o the beach wearing SunLotion, Chanel No 5 and little else.

Girl from Ipenema - eat your heart out!

HIDDY! My glass is empty! You had your siesta now wash my swim suit and remember cold rinse NO bleach!

You see he does have his usesXXX

There once was a Scot named HIDDY,
who ran off to a large Argentinian city.
Now he spends his days, bantering away,
with the glam goddess PUCCI of BA.

So HIDDY we're told, was once very bold,
and courted Her Highness with vigor.
Common sense kicked in, PUCCI says with a grin,
when she saw he was merely a gold digger.

From fish to cheese, neither agrees,
as they joust through FlyerTalk posts.
Some members take sides, others deride,
as PUCCI and HIDDY make grandiose boasts.

Their affection we fear, is not always clear,
and sometimes their banter turns depraved.
But their amour can be seen, deep in between,
when PUCCI and HIDDY act somewhat behaved.

You could be in line for an upgrade for tickling her fancy.

That's the first time I've seen a limerick on FlyerTalk.

There's some inconsistency on the rhyming, but it's not bad.

Had to bump this, forgot all about it, but was reminded by a very pleasant ground staffer at DEL patiently telling a DYKWIA waiting at the gate that maybe when he reached BA Silver, he might expect UGs on every flight. Top marks to makabus and HIDDY for joining in the fun. Does irony really need to be spelled out?
