Nowadays almost every department in Government is operated like a profit generating enterprise...
Up to not so many years ago, charges were just there to cover costs. Prescriptions, Eye tests, Visas, Official Copies from the Courts, etc.
Now, nearly, everything has a price tag.
So, it is advisable to play the system...
so right to play the system
just found out you did it
you will be together soon

As it stands at the present moment, your guess is as good as mine.
Jet hasn't had her passport returned yet, and we don't really know when it will be delivered back.
In case it arrives early next week, and provided she gets the sticker from CFO asap, I will have her on the plane on the 11 th of september.
The pad is nearly ready, re-carpeted the bathroom, the hallway, the living room. A lick of paint here and there, some new wallpaper somewhere else...Blah, blah, blah...
Thursday I had a new ivory coloured leather corner sofa delivered, that cost me a few "bob"... Dammit, but worth every penny.
Sunday I will go to HSS and hire a carpet shampooer, to give the bedroom carpet a bit of a refresher.
What scares me, is having to get the wardrobes out of there first, and putting them back after...
I am feeling knackered just thinking about it.... But it is for the best.
Ha Ha Ha, who else is desperately cleaning tidying or fixing their house before the arrival of their loved one, I know I am !
And do not forget to "sanitize" the place.Ha Ha Ha, who else is desperately cleaning tidying or fixing their house before the arrival of their loved one, I know I am !
Exe's photos are a no-no, even with the kids....
Hey, Ruby and I fly back on Sept 11, from Davao, via Singapore. Where is Jet?
I have to do all my cleaning and tidying before I leave home on Tuesday morning!
Jet is in Cebu, with luck she will be flying Qatar Airways. I can't justify spending the money that Singapore Airlines is asking for the one way trip.
It will be taking the...
I very much prefer SIA for service and puncuality, cleanliness of aircraft, facilities at the terminal, but Qatar is only 300 sovs, and lands in Manchester at 6 pm, so a few cuddles only, quick dinner, quick shower, tuck her in bed for at least 8 hours sleep and "bob's your uncle"....
Besides, it will be the second time in her life that she takes a plane (first time to Manila to the VFS), and I don't really feel at ease with her getting lost in Changi Airport... With a live HSBC piece of plastic in her purse....
And although HK Oasis is a hell of a lot cheaper, Kai-Tak Airport is a struggle to navigate, and not enough time for transfers, besides I would also have to get to Gatwick to pick her up, which will be at least 3/4 hours each way by car for me.
So in real terms it would not be any cheaper than Qatar. But only more inconvenient.
Good luck to you, mate
Yep .. funny thing about Singapore Air ... the website gives a price of £2500 for one way trip, but the telephone booking say it should be around £400.
Anyway, on this occasion (for various reasons) I'm using my BA shareholder discount on the London <-> Singapore leg, and just booking with SilkAir for the local hop across to Davao.
We land at LHR before 6am on Wednesday morning, in the house before 8 .. it seems to add another 12 hours to the journey going any other route.
All the best to you and Jet too! Ruby has worked in Singapore, visited Japan, Taiwan and Australia - she still asked me to go over and fly back with her!
If its the same flight have been on, the captain announces that landing is prohibited before 6am so fly around for bit.. then at 6am you and another 100or so other planes try to land.. and you hit the asphalt close to 7am
I've not had that problem! SingAir arrival time is set for 5.50 .. on August 1st we touched down 25 minutes early! I was on the RailAir coach at 6.35.
My BA flight is timetabled to arrive at 5.15 on Sept 12.
You sure i have touched down before 6am been on a bus home before 6 am, the normal reason is the grounds crew are not in place for whatever reason due to a krafty kip or turning up late and i have heard that from several people who have worked at Theifrow over a number of years.If its the same flight have been on, the captain announces that landing is prohibited before 6am so fly around for bit.. then at 6am you and another 100or so other planes try to land.. and you hit the asphalt close to 7am
