Business Class Flights to New York

With SES just around the corner I have just recently booked my flights to New York, I have chosen to Fly Silverjet again, which offers Business Class Flights to New York, I think I paid just under £1000 great value, I just wish the airport was closer like Manchester or Leeds, but here is my main gripe, Unlike most services Sliverjet states they offer :

Welcome to Silverjet, the world’s most sivilised airline. We’re bringing back the values that have been lost in today’s world of mass travel by offering you a private jet experience for an exceptional low fare. Very sivilised.

So what I read into this is that I could be mixed with Business Travellers, Holiday Makers etc, but at the service level which is going to very high.. OK ..

Now my pet hate “BUSINESS CLASS” now BA were clever, they don’t offer “BUSINESS CLASS” they offer “Club World” but on a recent flight to South Africa, I travelled World Business Class on KLM, well I was on business it’s a long flight and I can work on the plane with the other Business Travellers.. WRONG because the 6 month old child and the 2 year old child travelling with there mother made damn sure I couldn’t work, I felt like asking the mother “So what line of business are your children in, hmmm let me guess they are too young to be in a Business, silly me so what the FUCK are they doing in Business Class”

Business Class should have an age restriction !

added if I’m working on the plane, because you are sat beside me does not mean you can READ MY emails or what I’m typing..

Asda Travel with Greenlight

Companies with additional brands are always seeking SEO. This brings us to ASDA the well known brand who opt for Greenlight to do their seo who make a promise of “marketing success to its vertical brands”

Let’s hope they do a bit better job of the descriptions in future…WTF is SASDA  ? Purposeful misspelling? me thinks not…

” ASDA
SASDA part of the Wal-Mart family ASDA · Groceries to your door · Financial services · Home · CDs · DVDs · Games · Electricals · Flowers · Furniture · Local …”

Ok, you might argue it’s only one description, but looking at the others they are hardly unique. Just because a company has strong branding in the marketplace doesn’t mean you can afford to overlook the basics..

Is anyone picking the phone up at YSM

Oh wait you gave nearly everyone pink slips… Mind you when Microsoft buy you I guess adCenter would have been first choice… rant over

Facebook is faster than Blogs

Torrentor’s Go HTTPS

Well that’s what you will have to do soon, I saw on the news last night a report about the British Government  been close to publishing plans for a new law that would force internet service providers ban File sharers.  quick question isn’t the BBC iplayer a file sharing device and Skype ?

My guess is the Government  will mess this up big style, the biggest issue for the ISP wil be how to identify what’s an Illegal download and what’s not, personally I don’t want my backups that are moved off site been sniffed by the ISP’s especially if those ISP’s sell data ..
