So Dixons are preparing for a sticky future. Sensible!!!
The Luxury Coach Firm I have used for the past 20 years for European holidays and travel announced that they will finish business at the end of 2017 with one final bash in January 2018.
Reason?
By then they will have run out of euros which will mean an increase of 10% minimum in all their prices if they have to pay in sterling. Even now some of the European hotels they use have said they will not accept bookings that might be paid in sterling.
Fortunately we bought enough euros to last us for years pre-brexit vote so we have not had to buy euros since. One of the few investments that paid off big time!!!!
Am I alone here? The first time I was nearly caught out with a Windows 10 attack I jumped on the internet and found programs to run in the background that cleaned all the 10 crap and kept watch for any attempted intrusions - never had an attack since.
EASY
Would rather have collected 10k cash if I could take the hastle!!!
Stopped cigs Feb. 2010 - faded out of e-cigs 6 months later. Thanks to e-cigs I am better off and healthier.
How dangerous is that?
Conversations with my supplier revealed the solvent was the same as used in many perfumes.
Is that still correct? I don't know, but if my particular e-cig is banned then they should also ban women wearing perfume. I
OK. So the doctor's wife regularly takes her friend, who happens to be a patient. picking her up in the car to the squash club every Tuesday evening, then takes her home and goes in for a coffee.
On Wednesday she takes another friend/patient to choir - goes in for a coffee on the way home.
On Thursday it's the Ladies group - same scenario different friend.
On Friday she gives a male friend/patient to the camera club and drops in to have a coffee with the guy's wife.
WHAT!!! According to his phone, this doctor a randy bisexual.
THe truth, she does not have a phone so takes the 'family' phone, just like I say to my wife, 'take the phone with you so you can call if you need.'
From 2010 February I no longer smoke. I have saved £9,000 since then by not buying cigarettes.
I stopped by using e-cigs and gradually lost all interest in smoking.
The e-cigs were based on the same solvent as ladies perfume.
Why are we not banning ladies from wearing perfume in enclosed spaces?
I remember a store in Leeds having exactly that layout - tables with chairs and stools around the sides of the store and along the center. That was in the days of CorelDraw 5. It was running on all their computers for a promotion. I was the one who moved from table to table and crashed every machine possible until I was politely asked to leave. I never did by version 5. Ah, yes, I remember it well. (Has that phrase been patented?)
