Lots of news about Delta Skydrachmas. You would not believe my horrific experience trying to burn my last Skydrachmas for a trip to Sydney with my daughter. Wasted hours on the still crappy award search “improved” website and on the phone. Amazing how a 160k award online suddenly jumps to 255k when you call in to book it or how it just disappears (as in “sold out”) after you go through all the screens and even click “Complete Purchase”. Listening to the stuff the reps and supervisors tell you, no… outright lie to you either willingly or by being so hilariously kept in the dark, should be criminal! Bloggers pumping Delta credit cards without warning readers they may lose their hair trying to book saver award seats should be criminal as well. Rant over. Sooooo…a bunch of Delta developments…

Late first?
Skyruble 2nd
Third!…I sure hope so.
I am sorry Buzz, but I just don’t get this First, Second,Third comment-er thing w/o any meaningful, amusing or just plain silly comments, WTF .Say something besides your number …. get creative…………………….Just came back from a sex cruise with the Old Bat, I love cruising! I love sex, I love food, who dosen’t?…..Flying around the world, been there done dat, Meh, too much hassle. We’ll stick with the HIGH (ganja) Seas…………………….This whole SELFIE thing is going to Jump The Shark, everywhere we went we saw lots of old folks take Selfies using an expandable Selfie stick to hold the camera/phone. When old farts start doing / wearing what young people do (remember Jordache Designer jeans) the fad dies quickly. Lets hope this one does too.
Yeah it is silly…When TBB does the IPO I will go back and see who placed in the top three comments every time and share my wealth with them. I think Helixcardinal and Spencer F have the top two spots locked up.
Selfies are so selfish. and carrying a stick is right up there, wow!
Then again buying a $10k Apple watch beats the selfie sticks by far!
Maybe you can be a Diamond Elite in this Club then as you like sex so much Ramsey:

In next TBB blog post I have something about sex records…you would not believe some of the records!!!
Man, I got fever….spring fever…I am thinking to get the grill out already!
Wait a minute… people who cruise still have sex???
God Bless Cialis! I go from frightened turtle in his shell to Ron Jeremy like girth with just 1 pill, throw in some Ganja and its a party…..then off to the Chiropractor.
Tried Cialis and went back to Viagra LOL. You crack me up dude, Ron Jeremy, Ganja and chiropractor all in the same sentence!
Cheeky Cialis now added some BPH mojo to their pill so you don’t have go more often. God bless murrica for innovation!
Quote from TBB Twitter Account: “Do you like to be solicited for credit cards in almost every post?”
Then read TBB as he pimps his cards once or twice in every post. Hypocrite in the extreme !!!
Hey George, Congratulations on dropping to only 3 days per week of whining. That leaves you more time to add to your 23,700 tweets. Holy crap!! And most of them are continual repeats or ads to read this site. Wow!!!
BTW I missed your falling to 125K on Alexa as your Alexa toolbar users keep fleeing in droves. I wonder why they are not leaving other blogs including your favorites like travelisfree. Only two reasons:
1. Real content without copy and paste
2. No Whining.
In fact, yours is the only one in the space losing Alexa toolbar users????? What’s that all about?
Will drop in again when you hit the magic 150K mark
Tweet away my friend 😉
Way to go Georgie Boy. Four more tweets in the last 7 minutes all on my one comment here. No wonder people are leaving in droves.
23,704 and climbing !!!!
This is sooooo old and boring.
you forgot the….
Yawn
Stop being a wanker.
Why wank when you have Alexa around…
LOL
Do you need Cialis for Alexa?
You are just jealous 🙂
Just commented on Points With A Crew, who to give him credit had a good stab at explaining UK Air Passenger Duty,
After I had submitted, I noticed that – by default – you opt in to his newsletter when you comment! This is very cheeky indeed.
Yeah, that practice blows for sure…
Who the hell is this Alexa and why is the commenter Ricki so infatuated with her? This thread is worthless without pictures! Rick, dude, you’ll meet actual women if you just shutdown your world of Warcraft game, turn off your PC and get out into the REAL world – interact with people, maybe get a Passport and do some traveling, see the world. Sitting there in front of your PC smoking cigarettes, drinking Mt. Dew, playing games and trolling the internet isn’t good for your health or finances.
>>>>>>Who the hell is this Alexa and why is the commenter Ricki so infatuated with her?
Have no idea but she sure sounds hot, doesn’t she?
Love your handle!
He’ll be back, so proud of creating such loyal readers who whine more in blogs they troll and never comment in their own blogs #respect
