Happiness is...

Feet on the coffee table, bottle of beer, a good movie and ...

...using the iPad to watch the memsahib leaving the Country

What a result Ian!The Ipad is brilliant isn't it? Big knees up in Wilts then.My dearly beloved is away for a few days next month-(my wife is going as well) ,but only as far as the Nottingham area where we used to live.Don't think flightradar24 is much use for Cross Country trains though.Never mind,I can play some of my fav tracks on Youtube at a respectable volume(through 5 speakers).Fortunately some of my neighbours are a bit 'mutton' and if they aren't now they soon will be!

No.. I doubt it's any use for tracking a car going to Walsall either The daughter is at work on nights.. the wife is at work on nights.. just me and the Labrador enjoying a quiet night in at home. They'll come in early in the morning.. at which point I'll get up, have a shower then come downstairs and do something quiet for a few hours until they get up. I feel a VA 146 flight from Hurn to Nice on the cards

At least the map shows a few places to stop and get a bite to eat.

OK Eric,
Time to squeeze info out of you - what'll you be playing?

I hope you're talking Sandwich & Sandwich Bay, not fresh seafood!!??

You've already made it to the map? I'm still trying to figure out what a "memsahib" is. I'm assuming it's the same as swmbo.

Memsa whoooo?

I think it's a white woman who lives in India. But I have no idea to whom Ian (speedbird591) is refering to.

Mike

It could be both. Ever hear of a seafood sarnie?

Sorry, Brian, it's an expression from one of our other colonies During the British Raj in India it was a respectful form of address by servants and natives to married, upper-class European ladies. It's a combination of ma'am and sahib (which was originally an Arabic word meaning 'boss'). It's usually pronounced nowadays with an upper-class accent (mem-sarb) but only used in an ironic way.

These women would be in charge of their extensive households, which they ruled strictly and were often quite fearsome creatures. It takes swmbo a step further!
