Try the TripAdvisor forums - looks like there are a few threads on there about Condor Airlines.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

A quick (rough) mental arithmetic conversion is to take metres, multiply by 3 and add 10%. ;)

For example 2.60 metres x 3 = 7.80 add .78 gives you 8.6 feet. :thumbsup:

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

I read an article on Turing recently that said the Apple logo thing is an urban myth (or might be). I prefer to think it is true as it would be a very fitting tribute.

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Seems an odd restriction. That's a bit like a medical plan saying you can only have two colds a year.

Never mind, if you last another 31 years you can have a mouthful!

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Re: Over 40's Moving Back and Catching Up

Make sure you spend about £20 as cheaper ones often are rubbish and often don't count accurately at all. It can be frustrating to go for a long walk and find you only added 400 steps!

Could be a problem with the interface between your computer and your chair. ;)
