    Chicken Pox/Shingles

    Odd isn't it that people with Shingles aren't kept at home more isn't it? Although sounds like Emily1982's school has the right idea. When I had it, we saw a friend who is an expert in tropical/unusual diseases and he knew quite a lot about Shingles too. Surprised that they didn't lock me away...

    Chicken Pox/Shingles

    Wierd... I have had shingles twice (once at Primary School, once at Secondary School - I was a VERY rare case to have it twice under the age of 14... :eek: ) and wasn't kept at home (apart from being too ill to go to school for a few days the first time) or away from people. Alice

    British Airways Cancellation

    Hi, check your travel insurance - maybe that will cover the "out of pocket" expenses? Might be easier than fighting with BA. Alice

    Wonder Woman and Supergirl conquer the World and the Universe

    Hi Minniespal Why don't you just write a one page condensed report then? Don't try to mimic the epics that some people write... just a page of A4 - highlights, lowlights, thoughts on a few restaurants and hotels etc and upload a few photos. Don't spend too much time thinking about it...

    New private "Disney" development

    Just appears to be Disney trying to appeal to the lower/budget end of the market (i.e. lower than the current on-site Disney hotels). Seems a slightly odd move in some ways, though: you assume that Disney is trying to attract these lower budget holidaymakers to Disney, so spend their cash at...

    Alternative Breakfasts

    Ok, sort of cereal, but "hot instant porridge"... keeps you full and is nice and hot on cold winters mornings (most of them you just throw in the milk and microwave for about 2 minutes). You can add all sorts of things to make it different - fresh fruit, dried fruit and a bit of cinamon, a bit...

    Time to pick a few brains... (UK Car Hire)

    Your local branch don't have a telephone number? You can't phone them? How are you supposed to make a reservation (I assume that you wont be able to make a reservation online without a credit card)? Any "cash desopit" should be made clear to you when you book. Alice

    I went to see a psychic...

    If it was "set in stone" (fate) that your friend was going to win the lottery, then she wouldn't need to start buying or buy extra lottery tickets to make it come true, would she... ;) To me it doesn't sound as though the psychic is 100% sure of her own prophecies (otherwise she wouldn't...

    flight question: pricing for single vs return

    Hi try pricing a MIA/MCO-UK RETURN ticket - you can often get some good prices on British airlines ex-US. You could then just fly the first leg and "throw-away" (i.e. not use) the return. Should be a lot cheaper than a single... You can't just buy a UK-MCO/MIA return and throw away the...

    Holiday Insurance Question

    Very wise advice :thumbsup2 It may cost extra to include it, BUT - especially in his 70s - you run a very high risk that if anything does happen to him whilst you are away(God forbid), that the insurance company will try to put the cuase down to (or related to) the exclusion. And ANY medical...

    Advice Needed, re MySpace & Partners

    Another way to look at is, does the OP have some perfectly innocent male friends? I am sure that she must do. I would certainly be very worried if my husband started telling me which men I could and couldn't speak to. It probably wouldn't be the fact that I couldn't speak to someone that...

    Advice Needed, re MySpace & Partners

    Hi Anna I agree with what Obi has said... Chris is being honest with you and that is the best policy - he is not trying to hide things (because there is nothing to hide). Over-reacting or thinking the worst (even that is what this "relationship" brings out) wont help: if you react very...

    Express Pass For Security at LGW and IRIS

    Yes, that is on the way out of the UK. You know - you check-in, then go through security (where they x-ray your carry-on bag), then through to the shops and things in the departure lounge. If you travel Business/Upper or First Class, you are give a little "fast track" sticker on your boarding...

    Express Pass For Security at LGW and IRIS

    Frances You are talking about fast track security for departing flights I believe. The OP is talking about trying to fast track through immigration when returning to the UK. Fast track through security (departing the UK) IS still available. Alice
