    Yeah, after you say "Habla Ingles?" :)

      What is it with Egypt this year? Several people from my office have been there and to Cyprus this year. Must be the HOT destinations or something.

      Hot, Cheap and All Inclusive! Two weeks, Xmas and New Year, all I can eat and drink £800 each, and guaranteed Sun and 28-30 degrees. Beats Luton in the cold and wet!

        Probably there is a slightly difference in the prices between the two destinations :) My wife’s sister used to spend her vacations in Egypt for the last 5 years and apart from some exotic stomach viruses, she told us that everything else is ok.

            Taking your holiday inside a toilet cistern is better than being in Luton.

                Oh yes, many, many times. Once, many years ago and in a different career Luton was part of the area that I worked. Will, sadly, be coming next August when I have to use the airport. Note for the sake of balance I did once live in Milton Keynes.

                  17 Days before I go on holiday and my boss has informed me that there will be no Xmas Bonus. Glumness Descends as I was counting on this for my Spending Dosh. :( Then, 2 seconds later, he says that this only counts for everyone else in the company, but that I, he and one other will be getting the bonus because of successes achieved earlier in the year, but that we are to keep our mouths firmly clamped shut about it! Woo Hoo! It does mean I will have to fork out for the Elves to have a drink, but I don't care about that, I can give them a meal and a drink for less than £100, and still enjoy my holiday. I just gotta hope my request for a pay rise goes through too. (I won't be holding my breath on this being a good rise). So, Egypt here I come!

                  What's a "Christmas Bonus"?

                      Have they fixed their garbage problem yet? In a bout of idocy some months back their govt exterminated all the swine that disposed of their organic trash with the result that it was piling up on the street, rotting, and being even more revolting than normal. X|

                        in DD's case it's something that those who suck up to the boss are rewarded with. In my case it's a $15 gift card to the local grocery store (theoretically to buy a ham/turkey for dinner with). :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

                          Cape Town can give you that, but with probably worse traffic if you stick around the trendy areas, and maybe worse traffic if you opt for the cultural niches, and a chance of worse traffic if you shoose nearby country destinations like the winelands. But, if you opt for the more esoteric route of a psychedelic trance party somewhere between the mountains and winelands, you will be surprised to encounter ... just as much traffic. BTW, the Killers are playing in Franchshoek in about a week or two, and they are begging people to help reduce the traffic. This is far from CT.

                                  I was going to reply to DD that your answer should be ONCE, but many times, are you a masochist or what, AND Milton Keynes. Ah after reading it again I see that money was the motivator.
