Just because they invented the language doesn't mean they speak it properly. Case in point... The UK.

I'm on the fence for this one, but I am inclined to do it. The only problem is finding a weekend when I am available in the next two months.

I'm sure I will likely regret asking this, but who from the Box has purchased this: Flyertalk Thong?

These Marriott specials in ORD are almost too good to pass up. The Blackstone for $111/night?!

Yeah, the Renaissance out by ORD (which is a really nice hotel) is $66/night!

I'm booking a few as the cancellation rules are pretty lax.

Does US really think people will pay this much to fly to TLV (especially w/ connections)?

Nice to see that CLT is the highest fare on that list. Do anti-US people gripe about CLT the way that beaten and demoralized DL people do about CVG?

Four hours in a car beats any time spent on NK, though I'm surprised that an intra-FL leg is that high...I figured them for more the $49-ish range.

I should have gotten into IT. What you all do can't be as hard as dealing with a technologically challenged parent.

Just because you're in IT does not make dealing with your technologically challenged parents any easier. If anything, it makes it harder.

I find myself beating my head regularly when dealing with family and their computer issues. Of course, if I don't know about something, they get confused since "I'm good with computers" and that apparently means I need to know every application and scenario. :rolleyes:

What the bloody 'ell is wrong with saying "I'm scheduled to go to the hospital " as "I'm shedualed to go to 'ospital" or instead of "Oasis is going to play a concert in New York" saying "Oasis are going to play a concert in New York?"
