Yeah, although I plan to just set it up in the house I'm staying at in England, and perhaps use it on any airliner flights I am on- not sure if I will take it on my Contiki tour around Europe or not, considering I will be leaving most of my other possesions 'at base' while I spend a month on a coach travelling.


ahhhh some crucial info there... didnt realise you were able to setup a 'secure base' :)

Heh, sounds a bit like my sisters "OE"... she arrived, was greeted at the airport with a glass of bubbles by a friend, and then whisked off to a nice house with a comfy double bed and room to herself...

No sleeping on the lounge floor of someones flat in a sleeping bag for her!

Haha, you got it. I guess I wasn't as subtle in my last post as I thought I was! :plane:

Well that's our plan, although we only have guaranteed accommodation for two months so far, so we are just going to play it as we go...

I think Fiji is a bit out-of-the-way; Raro again perhaps? :P

See the 'Vincent Aviation New Purchases' topic in RW Aviation if you still haven't figured it out ;)

I'm very happy with my Dell Inspiron by the way, I didn't realize how large the screen was in comparison with some of my other mates laptops, but everything looks spectacular with the widescreen 1280x800 pixel display, and I can even plug it into my TV with the freeview HD cable and see my games and movies on it :D

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I thought you might have been 'borrowing stock'... we used to do that when I was a checkout chick[1]/trolley boy[2]/shelf stacker[3]... if we had a special on and ran out of stuff, we'd head over to another store in the group and raid their supplies :)


[1]Don't laugh... 2 guys and about 12 to 15 chicks on checkouts? I like that ratio! :ph43r:

[2]I preferred 'Deputy Assistant Director of Trolley Recovery' <_<

[3]After hours hi-jinks... like riding 10-speeds down the aisles... racing pallet jacks... shaking a 2litre bottle of coke and then putting a tiny nick in it with a stanley knife and seeing who could get the longest stream etc.... good times... good times... :P
