Its my 50th wedding anniversary this year.
But because of being an Old F**T I could not get full insurance
cover past April this year.

So the treat to XYL for putting up with me was a month in Thailand.
And Business Class  Newcastle Dubai Bangkok..With Emirates.

WOW ..How is the wine sir ?  Would madam like another glass of Moet.

White table clothes. Red napkins, Fine china tableware. PROPER knives
and forks. We dined for the first hour and a half of the flight.
Then on the Dubai-Bangkok leg.
Would you like an extra mattress on your bed sir.
Just pressed a button on my rather BIG seat. There Brrrrrr the thing turned
into a full length bed.
Only trouble is. Wife wont fly cattle again.
AH Well cant win them all.

So guys do it once before you become SK
