BA will not help me i have contacted them, my friend has contacted them and they said they wont help as i was not admitted into hospital.

So you think i am bullshitting well yay for you.

But i am not like i said before i have better things to do with my time than sit here and make up a pointless thread
Nice hat though. Careful you don't let it fall over your eyes - you could trip and have a nasty fall, and then who knows what might come of you!

I like Weimaraners. Post a piccie? do you think they would be good for a first time dog owner? What about an older one?
edit: older dog, not older owner. Although actually...

Just google all the local papers for Bradford as well as the national tabloids, this will take about 10 seconds.

Then in about 6 hours start phoning around. At this point you really have nothing to lose. You can also phone BA and tell them you are speaking to British papers about your situation. Hopefully that will force them into action.

You wait. He'll be telling you how cold and uncomfortable the sofa is next, just mark my words...
Thanks for your concern, darling.

As cold and hard as the couch may be, the garage floor is much colder and harder.

I'm trying to help him help me, because I'm not an utter bitch that puts a person on the streets.......... just yet.

I've monitored his efforts and contacted nearly all the people he has as well.

At this point, however, time is of the essence. Friendships can turn thin quickly in some circumstances.

Well thanks for the complement on my choice of headgear. I will be sure to let my milliner know you regard there work so highly.

Both of them are older, I adopted both from a local rescue group. One is 5, the other 9. They can be utter spazoid dogs, but they can be fabulous as well. They are cute either way.... regardless of how stupid they may be.

Late to this one....

Two optionsas I see it:

1/ Go and camp out at the BA check-in counter at the nearest airport. They'll probably throw you on the next flight they have with an empty seat as long as you remain reasonably polite to them. Worst that can happen is they'll have you arrested for trespass.

2/ Sue the silly cow who let the dogs leave the stairs wet. It'll only come out of her home insurance so you don't need to feel to bad about it -- and then you'll have the money to buy the ticket home.

I live in a house with a fenced back yard, and work 3 12-hour shifts a week. Since they are both older they are rather "low maintanence" when it comes to excersize needs.

You're absolutely correct. I meant "been landed with", not "landed".

The way I see it, he'll be on a flight home within less than 12 hours of losing access to that nice sofa. I guaran-damn-tee it!
