B-i-landye had been out on a boys night. Little did he know that when he returned at 11pm, we were still going to be up for another 5 hours, catching up on each others' lives in different hemispheres (and probably rehashing a lot of the stuff we always say when we get together)

Have another productive day at mumandye's then we both* head up by bus/tube to sisterandye's place in Woodford. Stop off in Oxford Street Moss Bros to hire dinner jacket. Pretty efficient service Pleased to hear can drop off at any branch. Friday night was fish & chips night when we were...

Its not something I'd specifically heard about. Seems to be quite recently described (great acronym) but plausible and similar surgeries are performed for trigeminal neuralgia and tinnitus. Neither are 100% succesful. Any surgery would be next to the brain rather than in it. I'd be keen to ask...

The airport that made me smile this year was LGW Wouldnt fulfil many of the criteria mentioned (except hotel right on airport) but everyone there seemed excited to be going away on holiday, Bucks, Hens whatever. I was returning home after a funeral so probably appreciated the positive vibe

Following evening, make the trip to Shepherd's bush to see mstrandye1. He's been working in London for the last 18 months. Till now he'd been living in a neautiful unit in a Paddington terrace (complete with risque Edwardian paintings of the landlady's mother) but said landlady had asked to get...

Immigration pretty quick, bag carousel slow. Both fairly typical for LHR recently After buying.an exhorbitant phone charger from Boots and finding a socket, head of to the Elizabeth line. It has transformed my London experience especially as I can make the connection at Stratford to the Central...

SIN and HKG are my tops too I've landed at LHR four times and boarded three this year. Have found many of the old bugbears much improved. Security queues have been fine and immigration pretty efficient. Great lounges at T3. Decent public transport options with Elizabeth line. It's still pretty...

There was a not dissimilar situation in Bristol, UK. Took whistleblowers to uncover and a major scandal. I havent read this report but, on the face of it, mortality should be lower if you reject high-risk patients.

Pretty sure you can only get credit for F&B if you are also staying and it's on the checkout bill

Reunion was last month so, despite the posting tempo, not a live report. I'm catching up on my TRs.

Not as many pics as I'd hoped but phone gave out Service good and food tasty

CMB-LHR was on an A330-300 Seats were lie-flat and comfortable but looked a little tired

The Serendib lounge in CMB has a great door. Pretty busy when in. Views of planes, reasonabe food spread and ok booze. Did manage to leave my phone charger though

Oops

Straight from work but I do usually wear a jacket when flying

Food was predictably delicious and service very good I dont remember a booze list but the tea selection was an unexpected highlight Only a 4h flight so descending into Sri Lanka quite soon

The short leg to CMB is in an A320 Seats are 2+2 recliners (though a big recline) and feel quite dated but were pretty comfy with lots of legroom. J cabin not full so I had a shadow. IFE in armrest though didnt use

And so to the QR lounge. I was one of the first ones in. Its quite a different vibe to the SQ J and the QF J/F lounges in SIN (all of which I do like) Obviously pretty quiet but I had the feeling of a gentleman's club which I think would remain even when busier I chose the Arabic Foules Medames...

0640 came round and I hung around at the transfer desk. No-one from UL arrived. After 10 minutes, I lost confidence that they'd be able to retrieve my bag (I know, I know). Headed for exit, completed the Singapore online immigration form, picked up bag (neatly arranged away from the carousel)...

...which was a blessing. Arrived in SIN at 0020 and my flight to Colombo is at 0940. SIN is good for transfers with the security at gate set-up. Went to the transfer desk but, as I feared, there was no UL agent until 3 hours before flight. At least I can stay in the terminal. I had been...
