If you've booked or are booking your holiday for this year. I hope this will be an invaluable listen, an important checklist of things to sort that will mean a cheaper and less hassle holiday

@AlongaTravel 'Random narcissists' 😂 Try OG travel bloggers, who prefer to show off the destinations, or as mentioned travel journalists on assignment. Accounts that are in love with travel not in love themselves do exist 🌍🩷

Dear @British_Airways I love you and I like your Avios offer but I hate this copywriting.

this website kinda feels like that strip mall you still go to because there’s a really good vietnamese place but every other business has closed or is a bail bondsman or whatever

Did you know the wife’s Rolex in Die Hard is the most important symbol in the film?

She receives the Rolex as recognition for her corporate work away from her husband. Her cocaine boss tells her to flaunt the Rolex to her husband the cop. She won’t because she’s embarrassed by it (she’s redeemable).

At the end, Hans Gruber is holding on to her wrist by means of her new Rolex. He’s pulling her to her death and pointing a gun at her. The husband sees this and unlatches the Rolex causing Hans to fall to his death. Watch carefully: BOTH the Rolex and Hans fall.

John McClane literally saves his wife’s life by unshackling her wrist from her corporate slave wage job and restores her as his wife.

Very based. A family is reunited on Christmas. So yes, Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

A big name chef called Jason Atherton opens a hot dog stand at Harrods. I go. It’s truly awful. An insult to the very notion of hot dogs. So that’s another reason not to go to Harrods. This week’s restaurant review.

1. You'll soon have to apply for a visa & have your fingerprints taken, for a day trip to Calais;
2. If you'd told me that 10 years ago, I'd have said you were taking the P;
3. If anyone invents a time machine, I'm going straight back to 1995 (The world made more sense then...)

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and California Suite won her Oscars, but this line reading from Downton Abbey made her iconic. RIP to the great Maggie Smith.
