Ryanair does cheap flights to Lanzarote; around £50 return. Trouble with Florida is that you might end up spending huge amounts of wonga visiting the Space Centre, etc? Or are there cheap things to do there, as well as cheap flights? -

Done the Canaries but cheap flights means it's full of chavs (although FV was nice the last time I was there)
Florida can be cheap - but I hate the 9 hour flight and American Immigration arseholes
Rather fancy a trip to Luxor this timeHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Canaries - nice places depends where you are gettig cold now
Luxor - Full of thieving murderous con merchants (sell you too many Egyptian statues and threaten to kill you) Egyptians ( I have business issues!!)

The colours are simply wonderful at the moment. Last night I was too hungry to wait for food so had a pizza, then cooked at my leisure. The reward was a delicious sweet and sour pork casserole for lunch, and that will do for lunch tomorrow too (having cooked it slowly last night I also I put it on a slow heat from 9 this morning).Originally posted by MrMark View PostBest: Warm soups. Cosy homes and country pubs. Leaves changing colour and falling. Cheaper weekends away.
No fireworks here but the dark evenings are a pain. At least I get to travel to work in daylight; that wasn't true in Northern UK and I used to hate that.Originally posted by MrMark View PostWorst: dark evenings. Weather getting worse. Kids with fireworks or demanding money with menaces.Last edited by Sysman; 16 October 2010, 13:01.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

WHSOriginally posted by Cliphead View PostCan't think of a downside to Autumn. I love this time of year.
Summer disagrees with me, there are plenty of things to like about it but the long days and hot nights really screw with my sleep patterns.Coffee's for closersComment
