Auto spell-check nigtmare


A short explanation: while I have been away, I have been writing my blog on an Asus tablet. The default setting on the spell-check is Norwegian BokmÃ¥l, but it is supposed to recognise when I am writing in English and switch to a British-English spell-check. Which it hasn't been doing. I have read through the posts before I published them, and have corrected what I have seen, but the corrections haven’t been saved. So a lot of the posts have had rather a lot of spelling errors. One of the funniest ones was the auto-correct to “anti-gay” which I mentioned in a post two days ago. Another one which has been driving me up the wall is that the spell-checker insists I want to type “I” every time I type “in”.

So I will be re-checking the posts in the next few days. In the meantime, apologies on behalf of  my spell-checker who thinks it can predict what I am about to write and changes things accordingly ……

    Everything has been a pleasure to read.

Yes to No-votel

Rather than flying directly on from Bangkok to Hong Kong, which would have made for a late arrival, I broke the journey in Bangkok and booked a room at the only hotel directly linked to the airport, the Novotel. Having gone through  Bangkok Airport at high speed, the question was where was the hotel. I had read online that there is a shuttle bus every 10 minutes, or alternatively the hotel is accessible through a tunnel. It was unfortunately not signed from the arrivals level, but instinct/common sense told me to head down into the bunny warrens below the ground floor. And voila, on arrival at the basement level, the direction to the hotel was suddenly signed. And very easy to find. Basically straight ahead, one left turn past the train station, straight ahead again, up an escalator. 10 minutes at pensioner pace. 15 for those meandering with their faces glued to their mobile phones and blocking everyone else's way in the process. The Novotel, like many airport hotels, is large, a...

Changing a nappy on SAS

Route: Hong Kong - Stockholm Airline: SAS Date of departure: 17th July 2018 Aircraft: Airbus A330-343 Flight duration: 10 hours 43 minutes Flight distance: 8,220 km Route: Stockholm - Oslo Airline: SAS Date of departure: 7th July 2018 Aircraft: Airbus A320 Flight duration: 40 minutes Flight distance: 386 km Total distance flown this trip: 40,342 km SAS sent me a text message in the middle of the night before I flew home to advise me that the incoming flight to Hong Kong was late and that the departure time of my flight would now be 11 am, a delay of 1 hour and 40 minutes. All passengers were still expected to check-in at the normal time. By the time I read the text message, I had got up and showered and was ready to wander over to the airport anyway. So it meant a bit of a longer wait air-side than expected. The business class check-in was quite busy by the time I got to the terminal, so I had to wait about 20 minutes before I got to the check-in desk. My check-in pro...
