Windsong, I'm going to Folkestone, Kent, still trying to figure out how to change the location thingy:unsure:

At the top of the page on the cream bar you will see a link called SHORTCUTS , drop down the menu there and click on EDIT PROFILE. About halfway down your profile page you will see a box for LOCATION. Type in your update and then save at the bottom of the page :)

Enjoy your stay in the home country! I am glad you have this opportunity to go home - and for a month, too. That will give you lots of time to weigh things up :)

Gee, Polly must've wasted a bit of time polishing up the broomstick, they were late leaving the gate! Faster, Faster!

Well looks like the broomstick has made up time just about to cross the coast in a neck and neck race with BA16 to see who crosses first. I do love stalking! Thank goodness for free apps on your iphone!

Quoll - What app are you using? Is it for Android or iPhone?

Flight radar 24 for iphone. I watch it http://www.flightradar24.com/ here too when at home.

Must say it is much more fun when you "know" someone who is on it and can sort of cheer them home. BA 16 won to get across the coast btw but I am sure I could hear Polly cheer as she cruised over Burnham on Crouch!

Thanks, Quoll! I must see if there is a version for Android - or something very similar. It would be fun to have it to "monitor" those on their way to the UK :)

Woo hoo!!! They do indeed have an Android version :) :)

The video-viewing-film thing was playing up apparently. I said I didn't care as I don't watch it, but they can't fly without it being fixed so we were an hour late boarding.

Thought we'd be nice and let them go in first :D And that was me going "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" and punching the air as we made landfall :lol::thumbup:
