Cornish Steve Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 My dad passed away yesterday. It was not unexpected since he'd been ill for some time. Am now looking for cheap airfares to fly back to Britain for the funeral. Given the schools in Britain are on holiday, fares are currently quite high. I'm looking right now at two of the discount airlines: WOW and Norwegian. Has anyone flown on either of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad died in 2003 and even though that was expected after a long illness it was still an absolutely devastating moment; I'd just get on whatever plane you can.

I can't help with the airline question but hope you get it sorted. Cornish Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Steve, really sorry to hear of your loss. All those of us who have been through it will keep you in our thoughts.

Matt Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 All the best, Steve I've not flown with either but if you have a preferred airline, you can sometimes get specials fares for circumstances like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I remember when I was looking at flights to the US last year the cheapest seemed to be Icelandair and Turkish Airlines, though they involved stop-overs in Reykjavik or Istanbul. Aer Lingus were also quite good with better flight times and shorter stops (specially flying UK to USA as you can go through US immigration in Dublin avoiding possible queues on arrival, but that's obviously not an issue for you).

They are all clipped on and appear to have harnesses underneath their outerwear. I'd say it was taken very recently. Hairstyles etc. look contemporary, and the little guy on the left end is wearing Richard Hammond style bootcut jeans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Chaos down here earlier, M5 was closed in both directions for two hours because a woman was threatening to jump off a bridge. I didn't have to use it but had to "cross" it four times for various reasons while it was happening, luckily knowing all the back roads I managed without too much bother; happily they talked the woman down in the end. http://www.exeterexpressandecho.co.uk/m5-at-a-standstill-live-updates/story-29654546-detail/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be mega to just be able to say 'pop round on Sunday' :jump for joy: Nice one John; my brother moved back recently after twenty odd years of globe trotting working for Airbus, had a few nice cheap holidays out of it over the years but it's good to have him an hour up the motorway. He's been my best mate forever as well as my big bro and I can honestly say we've not had a cross word in forty odd years (just don't ask me about my younger one ).

Cornish Steve Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I could do this, easy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/37228413 A neighbour of mine runs a unicycle business. Through the years, we've often seen him and his sons out and about on them. They're very proficient. I've often thought about stunts like this. We drive for hours staying within quite narrow lines on roads, traveling at great speed and navigating bends. Would we do the same if there was a thousand foot drop either side of the lane? If not, why not? It's all a matter of perception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we do the same if there was a thousand foot drop either side of the lane? If not, why not? It's all a matter of perception. Really interesting point as someone terrified of heights. I don't know the answer, I can't even walk over motorway bridges (unless they're very low). No logic to phobias. I was trying to address it a few years back via gradual exposure but had to stop. Driving in mountains is a nightmare when I'm abroad, I need blinkers, but as I don't have any I just have to keep telling myself to watch the road ahead and ignore the precipitous drop to my right/left. Sadly my wife is even worse than me so her in the passenger seat cowering in fear doesn't help a great deal . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
