Silverjet
 
Has anyone used them on their UK- Dubai route?

They seem to be cheaper than business class on the usual suspects (although not as much as I'd thought). Is the saving worth the unclean feeling that comes with a trip to Luton?

I live south of London so it is a bit of a slog to get to. They tell me they provide a limo in the price of your ticket. I have visions of being picked up in a max power corsa that has halfords stock room super glued to it.

Right you lot.........

On behalf of the Bedford and Surrounding Towns Association for Reputations Defended Strongly (B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S.), I object to these unwarranted insults against the town where I spent many of my formative years.

It may have been voted "Crappiest Town To Live In' but it has character, history, and..... er...... well, the Arndale Centre....... and it has a football team..... well, for the time being........

Now leave it alone.......

Don't missunderstand me - I have nothing against Luton. I just don't ever want to go there. Ever.

How are the Iraqi peacekeeping forces doing in Luton? Desparate to get back to Basra I'd imagine.

You wouldn't believe how many people who have the gross misfortune to live in Bury Park are volunteering to be suicide bombers......

...... and that's just the Anglican priests.........
