What do you treat yourself to on your trips back to the motherland?

An upgrade on my flight.
Last time I was home , in May, I was enormously disappointed with the food. Everything was as bland as mashed potato. Went to Paris and that was just as bad, except it was even more outrageously priced than the UK. Maybe my palate has ajusted to Thai food. I was gagging for a pint of bitter but ended up drinking strong draught lagers because they were cold and tasted of something.
And the grass wasn't greener either.
How much does "Club Class" or whatever cost??? I am sure I coundln't afford it.... but It doesn't a appeal to my anti elitist nature anywayQuote:

I'm going to hate myself for asking, but what's 'Razzle'.
Its not as much as you would think, and it makes the journey a lot better.Quote:

I always thought business class was approx double economy or am I massively misinformed as usualQuote:

No not double, don't be afraid and bullshit the airlines, use your imagination, put your 2 legs in plaster or something. I have got a lot of free upgrades by turning on the charm/ sob storey at the counter.
I always buy economy and go for the upgrade at the desk.
You can spen your whole life waiting for an opportunity like this to come up, so why waste it....Quote:

It's one of the Paul Raymond variety of soft porn, available at all 24 hour garages...you can find more of the like at Paul Raymond presents sexclub.co.uk
My favourite was Club, followed by Men Only, then Mayfair, then Men's World, the Escort, I didn't really like Razzle - a lower class sort of porn with fat ugly women.
Anyway, i wonder how much money Mr Raymond has lost since hardcire porn has been freely available on the net....
Why dont you go down King's Cross and buy a brass for 2 weeks, take her down Brighton and bang her for a couple of weeks. You could get married and then build her old folks a house in the country near Hereford.
That be nice wouln't it;)
Shreddies!!!!!!! (Nabisco, not Nestle)
Classic post. My rule for living in Thailand is: constantly ask the question "would I do this in England"Quote:
