lol @ flash some cash.....
I see people doing that and think.... "what a ........." aaah never mind. Each to their own.

In my opinion, fly and rent with the right people, and there should be no trying to be better than the next man.
Bet you get off traffic tickets while drag racing with a Benny eh

My advice- book the V6, get there, express an interest in the V8, if it's available ask how much to upgrade then hit them with your counter offer of a small tip and free upgrade with unlimited miles. Obviously this ploy is no good if you are the typical tongue tied British person,afraid to say boo to a goose etc.
That is exactly my plan, the V6 has been booked for a while and I got it for a very good price, however when we arrive I will try for the unlimited miles upgrade to the Shelby Even if we don't get it I won't be upset, we won't be charging around everywhere, more like stopping every five minutes to take photos

Has anyone actually tried saying boo to a goose? What actually happens? My neighbour keeps geese, I might go and try it

It's just a country proverb, perfectly clear to anyone who is familiar with geese, as in earlier centuries virtually all rural European people would have been. Anybody who shouts loudly and firmly at geese can intimidate them; indeed minding geese was traditionally a job for small girls. Anybody who doesn't dare say "Boo!" to a goose really is a wimp.

Appeal it and get the person who did it banned...... for abuse of the system. Pathetic, considering they selected the wrong option.

Its stated as "Abusive / Offensive Post"
However I dont think it is, but given the comment, I would say its ban worthy

For someone with more cash then Roman Abramovich, Nacro spends an awful long time in front of his PC on a bank holiday monday.

Explains a lot. As much as I dislike feeding the solar-phobic cave dwelling beast, as case of hoisted by your own petard!

Apparently Nacro doesn't live in the UK so it's not a Bank Holiday where he lives, perhaps if he put his location, rather than some smartarse comment about how much money he's (supposedly) got we wwould be aware of this fact.

Why is he banned again ?

I hate the whole infraction thing and on balance I will take NACRO over random bans. I enjoy his posts and he is actually very helpful and knowledgeable when he forgets himself.

I can compete with his Jet Set lifestyle, I won't try, it amuses me how he feels the need to dismiss everything as beneath him, boring or substandard, we don't all operate on that level and I am kind of glad I don't and am happy with simple pleasures and to be able to get enjoyment from the mundane or commonplace.

J4CKO the happy pleb !

I wondered that myself, if you look through his 8 pages of infractions, he's got some really long term one's for things like abuse of the infraction system and having a second account that he trolls from. Does he need two? Oh, yes I suppose if he didn't keep getting infracticated by the infracticon squad, he'd only need one, like most people.

I have enough trouble keeping my story straight with one account, without confusticating myself with more, simple peasant what I is.

NACCERs banned again? Well, if he wasn't such an insufferable snob it might not happen.

Anyway - I'm flying from LHR Terminal 5 (god help me) to San Fran tomorrow morning for the week (work related).

For the record I'm flying with BA Premium Economy so I wil be on the lookout for the complaining NARCO types and will report any I see....

Before you go airside, check out the hand driers in the toilets. It will give you a good indication of the intelligence of some of the people on that project!
