CO.com says so, but I thought I'd ask someone who has tried that before.

Thanks!

I have bern to both of them, and neither of them are worth worrying about. The AZ lounge is especially crappy.

Oh well, just no way around it, guess I'll have to do a MR .... :D

Tea bags are so :rolleyes:
It should all be loose leaf tea...

I think that's the first time I've seen "crappy" and "AZ" together in the same sentence on FT ;)

How awful is Alabama State to be losing to Morehead State this badly?

On another food note - if I were to drive the few extra miles to Shipley on the way to BNA tomorrow morning, is there anything a first-timer is to purchase?

Tim Tams are yum! Do the Tim Tam Slam. to do this, you need a hot cup of tea (or coffee, I suppose). Nibble off one corner of the tim tam, then nibble off the opposite corner on the diagonal. Then, dip the tim tam into the tea, suck hard to pull the liquid through the biscuit and then stuff it into your mouth speedy quick before it dissolves and falls apart.

Hilarious fun to do. Takes a bit of practice, first few times you get very messy. But, once you perfect it, YUMMY!

I'm very partial to chocolate. Cadbury's preferably. Also, the only tea I will use in my home is Sainsbury's (from the UK), so when I go home, I stock up big time. usually bring back about 3000 bags (6 x 500 packs).

Meh! Loose tea is just too much to bother with! Give me a tea bag, and let me get on with it!!

That never happened. :rolleyes: Anyhoo, that rental put me over the top for a free day, so I imght hold on to it for fiancee usage, or I might use it to help in the justification of attending a future Do.

I have not read anything, but I've not looked either. @:-)

When I book the car on CO.com I always then go to the rental company's web site to check everything out and make sure the rewards go where I want them to. Even though Co.com knows my membership number with the car rental company, things do not always fill the bucket I'd like filled.

'Cause, if I don't do it right, there is wrath. :rolleyes:

3000 bags? :eek: :rolleyes: Do the Cadbury mini eggs I'm munching on count as chocolate?

After the bland boring food I've had the fast few days, that sounds extreamly tasty.
