The totally off-topic thread

Imagine if they sent the same letter to a set of traffic lights!

Maybe the street light should get a day job to pay the bill.

Well tomorrow sees the first BA A380 flights. There is availability for me to use 9000 Avios & 35 quid to book a quick turnaround. Do I do it?

Where to and how long is the turn around?

Where to and how long is the turn around?

FRA, just under 2 hours. Had to book as 2 one ways

Don't get me started on the people who claim to be vegetarian "but I eat fish"!

Question just was asked in the mealroom:

Can you buy a baby pig, raise it for 3 years & eat it?

Well... she hasn't replied to the email asking for permission. In any case I recently got 12,000 Avios from BA for a stuff-up on a recent flight, so that's more than paid for it anyway

I've never done anything like it and given I have the free time and it's so darn cheap, it's a great use of points I think.

Good news... she has given permission - phew

I just saw a Flashback rellie tonight and she is now totally warped in favour of Thai in First. Mission accomplished Flashback!

First time contributor to this thread. Making the assumption that it's the most suitable place to dump some random thoughts..

1. Flew in a Fokker-100 yesterday from BNE-EMD. Really liked it, much quieter and seemed faster than the dash-8. Lots of legroom.
2. Much prefer the current QantasLink catering than the standard QF catering. More variety, more flavour and the way it's packed in the little plastic container - it's easier than passing around trays.
3. In the last 3 weeks I have done MEL-BNE-MEL and MEL-BNE-EMD-BNE-MEL. On 3 of the 4 MEL-BNE or BNE-MEL legs I've been in the coughpy 737s with no AVOD. These have all been jam packed. Tonight's BNE-MEL flight had the AVOD yet was half empty. Such a lottery with the hard product. If I had to watch the same episode of Anger Management for a FOURTH time I would've needed some anger management myself.
4. My QFF review date is Oct-31 and I didn't receive a DSC offer today. Definitely no WP for me.. and will have to work to attain SG. All my flying is discount-Y so it's not much fun.

Did you need permission in writing?

An e-mail is good enough for me!

You do realise there are other uses for folic acid?

What?? what are they??

 

[Flashback]

Trying to find the motivation to head outside to the post office to return some goods to M&S. It's just tipped over 30 and supposed to get up to 32 today........

Folic acid is a building block for growing cells in the body.

Immune suppresants such as methotrexate interfere with the production of folic acid. The days you do not take methotrexate you take folic acid.

He's alive and well in NZ

I thought he'd gone to London - to pursue a whole new direction - in the health field?

 

[docjames]

Doesn't he like AFF any more?

Waits for someone to say that all the street light needs is a good dose of national service....

There would be a lot of chat about the best seat in a Beechcraft at NZFF, aisle or window?
