There'll be a note when they walk in that says 'ask Alexa to show you around' then using smart lighting it points out all the features of the place.
Pretty cool.
Yeah you can set it up to answer questions from guests, what's the wifi, where are the towels etc

Cordless hoovers are the same pox. Hoovering is half as much work. But somehow I end up doing it three times as often.Last edited by Denny Crane; 10-02-19, 15:06.

Felt a sharp pain when lifting something last week and it's still really sore. Really bad in bed if I sleep on that side.
Just wondering how long it takes to heal up really.

As you say, drop bread in eggs and fry in 50/50 olive oil and butter. Serve when golden brown both sides. Sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve with good quality maple syrup on the side (never on top, give people the choice) and bacon. Blueberries optional.
After the first thousand or so I got the hang of it.
Hidden talents eh. I do like cinnamon in the egg mix myself."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Hence; no French toast in France. QED."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Although only a raving madman would eat a croque madame when you could have the simple perfection of a croque monsieur. I fondly remember a pre-match brunch in the main market in Toulouse where we ate oysters, copious amounts of cheese and three croque monsieurs each. All washed down with bottles of white wine, cognac and espressos."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Hmmmm.
Upon doing further research (aka asking the wife), they do have French toast in France. They call it pain perdu.
Bejaykers!
I'll have the eggs Benedict please, with smoked salmon."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I was showing the Italians pictures of Tesco flogging off unsold 'Serrano' gift packages of 2Kg ham a couple of pieces of wood to mount it on and a carving knife for €15 (was 60 before Christmas)... Didn't understand a word of the reply but it was a fantastic stream of Italian invectiveTurning millions into thousands

If you land on Manhattan, haven't been before (or even if you have) and want an excellent way to get your bearings I simply couldn't recommend this tour enough:
Tacos, dumplings, knishes, bagels; America would be a food wasteland without immigration. Join this New York tour to sample the side effects of mass immigration while learning about those that dared to live the American Dream.HighlightsDiscover NYC from a local perspective, with a local guide by your side Hear stories about New York’s early settlers and taste the eclectic mix of food that they bestowed upon us Stroll through New York's unique cultural historic sites in the Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Little Italy Get a glimpse into New York’s immigrant heritage and how it is shaping the city today Sample some of the delicious iconic treats of New York

Cool, will do a scan of airbnb there, brother and his gf are living in long island city for two months but I don't need to be out near them, they can come to me! Being in the thick of some hipster Manhattan area sounds best.
Also cheers Keane, never been to NY so could be worth checking out.Last edited by Tar.Aldarion; 11-02-19, 14:47.

What are you hearing? What makes it look like Revolut fault or a "scam"? Scam is a bit harsh surely, they have been impeccable for years for me and any friends that use it.

Originally posted by bp_me View PostThere's issues with withdrawing to a pre-paid card which is effectively what Revolut is. I'm sure I heard/saw somewhere (maybe here) that banks were asking people for revolut statements now anyway if applying for things so it's not a useful way of trying to hide the gambling.

Originally posted by eoghan104 View PostI just got my mortgage and wasn't asked for Revolut but I have heard of it. Doesn't seem to be standard but maybe if the banks are making a close decision on affordability they will ask.
I would have lots. Everything I buy from amazon is done with revolut these days. Saves a fortune in forex.May you live in interesting times!
