For all you NE Scotland folks out there, Thomas Cook have flights flying from Aberdeen, a little bit more expensive than globespan but from ABZ all the same.
-
PHEW dycedon. We were booked with flyglobespan from Aberdeen and have since rebooked with Thomas Cook from Glasgow. So I would have been really miffed if I could have flown from Aberdeen after all, but flights shown are for Wednesday's which we cannot make.
PS the price is cheaper that both flyglobespan and Thomas Cook from Glasgow.
-
We hate flying from Glasgow and hate Thomas Cook, but looks like we may have to put up with T.Cook, but will not fly from Glasgow after our long experiences of a flights full of Rab C.Nesbitt and family all in new jogging suits and brand new white trainers, sitting waiting to board with their plastic pint glasses which they were loathed to give up. One particular experience springs to mind when the flight was delayed at Glasgow, we were all sitting on the plane waiting for two Grannies who finally appeared very much worst for wear and sung us such lovely songs on our journey to Dalaman The flight back were always interesting too, with the tee-shirts from Marmaris bars, henna tattoos, hair platting and peeling skin.
We will be going from Aberdeen, however, as there are now vacancies for flights from Aberdeeen maybe another carrier may decide to start flights from Aberdeen along side T.Cook?
-
Excelent news Dycedon.
And as H mentioned, cheaper than the Glasgow flights.

The stereotypical 1980's T.V. image of the scouser in shell suit with curly wig and moustache is very old hat now.
Us Scouser are a sophisticated people who do not fall into the cateorgory the southern press like to put us in.
I have never had curly hair owned a shell suit or had a moustache!!
:P:D
-
Have to plead guilty to the moustache at one point in my teens :D
-
I have to admit to a perm in the 80's....Hormones, i was pregnant.

Very funny in its day (1980, very nearly thirty years ago)
Joke is a bit thin now.

As Jacqui said us Scousers are a sophisticated people now.

The frightening part is that you do seem to believe that ;)

Hear hear!!.Yes we are sophisticated....We don't drink out of jam jars anymore, and though we eat our fair share of scouse (which is absolutely delicious) we do enjoy the finer things in life! [^]

I can but agree dreamon - the two Scousers I have the pleasure of knowing are amongst the most sophidticated people I know ;).
When they are sober of course...... :)
-
Mr Scunner, Not all scousers are scallys. My brother, who was born in one of the roughest parts of Liverpool is a barrister, and my lovely, 21 year old daughter just got her BA in law...and does voluntary work in a local (free) law clinic.There are some bad scallys in Liverpool, but there are also scallys all over the United Kingdom.We Scousers are the salt of the earth, and are renowned all over the world for our kindness,friendliness and our sense of humour.
-
Of course you are right, we shouldn't judge scousers on stereotypes of nearly 30 years ago. I do apologise.
Oh, on another subject. Anyone see the Royle Family on Christmas Day? Fantastic to watch the everyday lives of "sophisticated people" :D
-
I prefer Scousers to "sophisticated people" ;).
PS I may even consider myself to be "sophisticated" now that can spell it :o

Ah yes, the Royle Family. A sit-com about a Family in Manchester which is written by Caroline Aherne, who was born in London and raised in Manchester and Craig Cash, born in Manchester. The Series is filmed in Salford, Manchester. This is such a good example of Southerner's being confused about where exactly Liverpool is.
Now if you want to see something filmed in Liverpool how about the new Sherlock Holmes Film or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or perhaps Nowhere Boy the new film about a real Liverpool lad John Lennon. Yes, the film makers are queuing up to film the in City of Culture.:P ;)
P.S. Sorry Dycedon, and thanks for the tip about Thomas Cook[:X]
Jacqui.

Now they go out in their PJ's and curlers thinking that its trendy?

Jacqui
You skilfully managed to write all that without mentioning Ricky Tomlinson (lived nearly all his life in Liverpool) - the main "sophisticated character" in the show!!! It may be set in Manchester but like you, he's still from Liverpool :D
Sorry Jim! (dycedon not Jim Royle)
-
I think you are getting real life mixed up with fiction.
Yes, Ricky spent a lot of his life in Liverpool (Born in Blackpool) however, he is an actor
playing a part in a Manchester sit-com, written for him by two Mancunians, he plays the part as it's written, like all actors will.
Do you think that the London born actor Warren Mitchell is really just like the bigot and racist Alf Garnett that he played so well, if so it did not throw a good light on Londoners.
-
feel like jim royle sometimes, my a**e
-
I didn't realise it was acting Jacqui, I thought they put a hidden camera in their house!
It doesn't have any relevance whatsoever that it was written by Mancunians!!! They wrote a script of made up things, they can be from anywhere!!!
As an actor, is Ricky Tomlinson playing a stereotypical Mancunian or a stereotypical Scouser?

Oh trust me to be away when they announced this. I booked 3 lots of flights from Glasgow cos I thought there wouldn't be any from Aberdeen. I now have to claim back the globespan flights from my credit card company hopefully.
