Why we've never seen Alec Guinness and Jeremy Corbyn in the same room together. (couldn't resist stealing this from Audi) And I have no idea who Jeremy Corbyn is! https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/s720x720/12022590_2428213933892449_1561704821558407924_o.jpg
I'm pretty sure one of them is dead. I just can't tell which one. :rimshot:

ELO does that to me, too.

Free Healthcare is amazing
Agreed! Though I'm sure their health system has issues, as nothing is ever perfect, I can imagine it is lovely to not have to have the fear of worrying about paying for highly over priced prescriptions that you need to survive and the fear of losing everything if you get in a horrible accident or get severely ill and are slammed with huge medical bills.
I got extremely ill the day after I flew in for ELO in Hyde Park. Thankfully, I went to the emergency room had tests done, then a follow up visit a week later. When we left hospital, we were just walking out, it felt so bizarre, I insisted on going to the desk to pay. When I asked them how much did I owe, they looked at me very strangely and told me there was NO CHARGE! Same thing with the follow up a week later... My jaw just dropped! Unbelievable!
I had a similar incident happen in 1993 when I began having what was later diagnosed as PACs (premature atrial contractions) in my heart. The timeshare we were at near Stratford-Upon-Avon called a doctor and she gave me something like Valium which made them go away. No charge! (I also asked what do we owe you!) I've been taking a beta-blocker ever since then that stops them completely.

Actually it was probably the airline food. We had an emergency landing in Ireland to drop someone off the day before, they were really sick. Feeling on my deathbed, My friend helped me get there to watch the show, then I went straight to the Emergency room! I didn't fly over to miss that show!! music makes you forget pain, kinda anyway! the show I'll never forget! They just released the Blue Ray of that show a couple of days ago. Best Buy is honoring the online price if you ask them!

I wouldn't feed airplane food to a dog. I always try to eat just before a long flight or at least bring enough food with me. Oddly enough, Air France was not too bad.

Virgin Atlantic has pretty good food as well. Preorder the Vegetarian and you can can get a tasty meal.

Delta to London & Manchester has always had good food.

If you are British you probably will have a home somewhere in the United Kingdom. Which is a good idea.

I think they only go to London from here.

Going to try Air France! French food sounds good!

It's still airline food. But at least they have real bread and not those empty dinner rolls with the hard, stale edges.
