Tattoo's

Once the sign of tribal warriors or seasoned sailors, now the sign of what I do not know...

Some tattoo's are very artistic and clever and for the record I have no problem with tattoo's I don't have one but having spent 5 years in Her Majesty's Royal Navy I have seen many a tattoo, good and bad.

However, what I can't understand is why do pretty young ladies/girls have huge ugly tattoo's all over their body, what is that all about, pretty, small, discreet, little tattoo's can be attractive but what is it with the big things that cover most of the skin, what is going to happen when age becomes a reality and in 30 years time, what will all these blue skin beauties look like, with their saggy bodies covered with blue ink and you can't work out what the tattoo actually is anymore, what was once a pair of wings looks more like a set of John Wayne's saddle bags printed on the skin.

Remember a dog is not just for Christmas as a tattoo is not lipstick that will wear off after a couple of hours...

What is it about Asian food

Where ever you go in the world there is always a Chinese or Indian restaurant, now generally the Chinese food is very similar where ever you go, from Hong Kong all the way heading west to Hollywood.

But then there is the Indian food, the good old traditional curry, it is a known fact that the number one dish/meal in the UK is now a curry in fact it is a Chicken Tikka Masala, however, where ever you go in the world, apart from the occasional similarity of the above dish, the food all tastes different even if it is named the same, Rogan Josh surely is a Rogan Josh, but no it is anything from a thick stew with hot spices to a really flavoursome meal with a mixture of tomato's, peppers and meat... so what is this all about.

The Chinese were clever in matching the needs of westerners to help increase their popularity by including vegetables and meals they don't have in China, however, they are now global options, as for the good old curry they keep the same names tell everyone it is authentic and just the same as it was/is made in India, well all I can say is either the Chef's have a bad memory or there is more than one India in the world and they all have different traditional variations of the same meal...

Never mind, enjoy your curry whatever you get, just order a Rogan Josh and enjoy the surprise.

British Airways First

It is a product that exceeds expectations and delivers above your dreams, the beds are actually big enough to be a bed, the space is yours, the intrusion is non-existent and the staff are brilliant, you even get to see the Captain...

The food is excellent and plentiful, you could loose control of your diet and enjoy it at the same time.

If you were to find fault, it would be one thing, the in flight entertainment system is, all but the video option, the same as economy and even there it is out of date, yes outdated not bad, you have 18 channels and a Map page and a wide choice of programs.

Would I recommend this level of travel, damn right I would is it worth the money, well that is only a question of affordability, it is definitely value for money however much it costs.

Wouldn't it be great if this was the basic standard and then imagine how great BA First would have to be then.

As an aside, one great benefit, of the recent terrorist issues, there is now a sensible amount of carry-on bags being taken on board and making it a much better situation.
