RE: BurgerBalls App
Hi David,
Only just seen your email, was still feeling really rough last night so I went to bed early and stuck my out of office on, feeling much better now though. BurgerBalls sounds like it's fully pump primed and ready to rock, hope Kelvin and co are happy with it. That 'Tranny Time' thing was Lozza's idea, remember? It's just an Easter egg, it only happens when you score a goal with her, so it should be fine I think?
Regarding the uFly2Go job, I haven't actioned anything further because I saw the article below, my mate Jonno who works in travel forwarded it to me yesterday - think we might have to get in touch with Barry to see if we're putting the brakes on this one -

Start-up airline ordered to suspend sales
Start-up carrier uFly2Go has been ordered by the Civil Aviation Authority to stop selling seats after the company claimed, incorrectly, that bookings would be protected by travel partner KOC Group's ATOL licence.
The CAA said today that it had not yet approved an increase in the number of licensed sales KOC could make in a year so uFly2Go's bookings were not covered by its ATOL.
The carrier, launched by the founder of failed airline venture HeronAir, started selling flights from Leeds Bradford Airport to Poland and Bulgaria earlier this month.
It claims on its website that the CAA has forced it to stop taking bookings due to a legal dispute with Bristol-based uFly2.com. As previously reported on TravelFerret, uFly2 issued uFly2Go with a solicitor's letter last week in which it requested uFly2Go to change its name. uFly2Go claimed this week the CAA had refused to put uFly2Go on KOC's ATOL until the dispute was resolved.
uFly2Go director Jez Bunting said: "The decision would appear to be a kneejerk reaction by the feckless, anti-business bureaucrats of the Civil Aviation Authority."
However, the CAA said the legal dispute was not the reason uFly2Go had suspended sales. "The name dispute has nothing to do with us," said a spokesman.
"KOC Group has sought permission from the CAA to trade with uFly2Go but we have not yet approved an increase in the numbers of licensed sales they are allowed to make in a year.
"This is unrelated to threatened legal action, and we expect to be able to clarify the companies' position in due course."
Bunting attempted to launch another airline, HeronAir, in 2003 when he was just 16 years old, but that venture never got off the ground.
Passengers who had booked flights from Belfast to Marrakech with HeronAir were told the airline's licensing partner had gone into liquidation.
