Here in the UK, there are several so-called 'Bank Holidays' - we had
one yesterday.

I believe that, in the present economic crisis, Bankers and all others
in the Financial Services sector should have all their holidays
cancelled. They are a thoroughy undeserving bunch.

This could easily be implemented by re-designating such holidays as:

'Holidays for the Truly Deserving'

Or HFTTD for short.

What do you think?

Delighted!

Perhaps we could meet up for a World Cruise?

But please don't tell Myoarin.

No one ever tells me anything. But go ahead and take your well-
deserved world cruise.

Of course, Myo, if you go away without a Blackberry or even a
Raspberry ,,,

Then how can we communicate with you?

I did visit the Astral Plane but nobody had seen you propping up the
bar for ages.

Of course, it did give us lots to speculate about.

I wasn't flying that high, max. 39,000 feet, and only propping up bars
in airports and other sea level places.
Chagrin: at one airport, there was a sign: "We ID everyone," but the
"barista" didn't ask for mine. (No, I wasn't ordering an espresso.
Found the expression in a couple of newspaper articles that used the
word in the more general/Italian meaning of the word.)

Yesterday, I discovered that expedia was nice enough to come back and
tell me that some US airlines are now charging for all checked
baggage, but I had already discovered that the hard way.

Cheers, Myo
