Does anyone watch this complete and utter crap? Or like soaps, is it just for people who don't have a real life?

This sums it up very well - for people who don't have a life!!!

We can excuse the old and infirm who have vicarious pleasure from watching the soaps but sadly the viewing audience is not restricted to this group. Of which the most depressing aspect is that they have the vote.............

Sadly NOTHING can be done to remedy the situation - Did the "soaps" wash the Great out of Britain?

Happily we (forum members) have our own remedy - we are all off to PI to enjoy ourselves (watching UK soaps on Cable TV) backed by our sterling denominated pension plans !!

Actualy we won't have cable TV but TVIP as the technology will have matured by the time we retire.

Buy your lot in PI as soon as you can and plan your retirement NOW

Can I still be a forum member when this happens for me or will jealousy drive me out?

Imagine - Petrol at 40p per liter when the UK pays 100p
Beer at 25p a bottle 100p

A life without a raincoat - gloves - heating bills

anything else I have left out ??

Sorry I have to go and study the airline timetables .............

Soaps are watched around the world, last time in P.I. they were glued to the tv watching a soap import from Brazil.

How about there films, boy ( or fat old film star) does good, wins girl, loses girl, beats bad villains, wins girl back... or girl gets to be little star, loses loved one, beats bad men, gets to be big star.

Its a pleasure to see my wife watch a filipino comedy film, laughs herself silly.

Did you see what George Galloway did to Barrymore when he was crying the other night?

Hi Rob,
would it be worth my while booking from London to Hong Kong return, then from Hong Kong to Cebu return or would it work out just the same if you were just booking the normal route of London - Cebu.

Does anyone know who is the cheapest website to book a flight to Cebu at the moment?

To be honest, I've never flown to Cebu from UK, so I wouldn't know about the routing options (apart from London- Manila then Manila to Cebu). Maybe someone else would know?

This is what I normally do - I get a return UK to Hong Kong, then I go to my friendly local travel agent in Hong Kong Aero HKG and he gets me a Hong Kong to Manila or Cebu for less than £100 return with either Cebu Pacific, PAL or Cathay Pacific. Cebu Pacific are always cheaper.

I just checked now, and Singapore Airlines also fly to Cebu, so theres another option for you.

I get all my flights from Travel4Less part of lastminute.com they always come out cheapest. Expedia as well have some good deals, but you have to shop around. Also try cheapflights.co.uk, they dont actually sell flights, just list best prices on the destination you choose.

If I were going to Cebu I would follow WalesRob suggestion of routing via Hong Kong rather than fly to Manila, collect luggage, clear customs and change terminals

Hong Kong airport is vastly superior to Manila -

The advantages are

Better place to wait between flights
No luggage handling for you
CX flights usually on time !!

Cebu then becomes your entry point in PI - it has fewer flights than Manila so less likely to be busy so you will clear the airport faster

Good luck
