Completely agree - he's gone and no matter how many people say 'but and if' it isn't going to bring him back.

You haven't worked out the best way to use them then.

And that would be, given that I need to get to London?

It's got nothing to do with the taxes. I don't give a flying **** what the taxes are. I want to use my hundreds of thousands of BA airmiles to fly on a BA flight to London and back without paying any costs. Like they should be used for, and are used for if I fly anywhere else on a partner airline. But I can't, BA want to charge me $700 for the pleasure. Why can't I pay for these ridiculously exorbitant costs with my airmiles too?

You should never have moved to America then. You should've stayed at home and watched a load of John Johns fighting outside KFC every day.

Just to show AA can be A'holes also, my wife has 16,700 miles that are going to go away just after Christmas, 16,700 miles will not even get you one night in a Motel 6, so I inquired about selling them to me, as I still accumulate miles.

You can do it using the Sharemiles program which tells me to transfer the miles to me would cost $200!

I guess I will just let them expire, as I don't see them being worth $200. :(

Because it's a tax and BA have to pay it to the taxing authorities in cold hard cash. Miles don't cost them a fraction of the perceived value to redeem.

Newsnight, never been an avid watcher but when floating the channels of an evening I usually end up with it on a few times a week, Evan Davis is possibly the most annoying person on tv, haven't watched it for a while since he took over and caught a bit last night and he was again complete dogshit, my 5 year old could interview people better. Stick him on Cbeebies and get a proper anchor in notably James O'brien who when he has stood in for him has made the show far more watchable and interesting.

Even if this is the case and BA don't want to subsidize their frequent fliers, the total tax on a return flight NYC-LON is $236. BA charge a "carrier imposed charge" of $458. There's no excuse for that.

Central heating being whacked up to oven like temperatures in every pub or restaurant despite the fact it's not even remotely cold. I tend to go to these places to try and relax and unwind and sitting their pissing with sweat feeling as though I am about to pass out seems to have the opposite effect for some reason.

People on groups buying their drinks individually in a pub. F*ck off you tight c----s!

The fact that autocorrect changes the word in to on when it never makes sense.
