You average nearly 300 posts a month, based on the average of 2 minutes a post, that works out at 10 hours a month on this website just posting. What do you do in your spare time

Tom911 - thanks.

Ewan - I do lots of stuff in my spare time. I work out, play with my family, kill time when I'm at the hotel by myself by posting here.

Why do you ask? And what do you do for your spare time?

I also thank you for posting this story as I thought it was funny (wouldn't have thought so if I was on the flight though).

BTW, if you're only spending 10 hours a month on FT you've got some catching up to do UAL1KPlus. I bet most of us addicts spend at least that much time here a week.
