    Is Aussie Aussie Aussie an Appropriate Call in 2024?

    But then I feel left out. :( They should just leave the sport out, rather than put it before the weather to make you sit through the sport. Sport, singular, by the way! Although we'll give you a pass if you're from North America. :D

    Is there a way to find out how high each city's or region's OMFG -we're-so-sick-of-tourists-ometer is reading?

    Article: The Surprising European Flight Delay Trend

    The compensation for even only an A320-load of people would almost definitely push that flight's profit:loss way into the red, wouldn't it? So while there's zero penalty before 2hrs and a huge penalty at/after 2hrs ... if you have the organisational ability to make 6 flights 1hr 55m late in...

    What was your most memorable in-flight meal?

    Mine was the Emirates flight we took to Auckland at a ridiculous discount, srsly $600 return in F with EK was cheaper than some QF economy seats available at the same time! Not having been in F before, I expected … probably something similar to a top Sydney “fine dining” meal, like Quay without...

    2025 travel plans

    Nope, but thanks for the well-wishing! :) Jeez you're right though! My thought-process was that we're moving into somewhere with almost zero garden-maintenance, and once that's settles I'm hoping to be able to arrange Travel Plans for 2025, I had 2025 in mind and hence blurted the above ...

    Is Aussie Aussie Aussie an Appropriate Call in 2024?

    My better half has seen that being appropriate once ... she'd been working in Russia 10-ish years ago for about 3-4 weeks, and the whole flight out (to Switzerland I think) she kept thinking how the super-dodgy super-corrupt every-single-person that you saw absolutely everywhere could get the...

    Is Aussie Aussie Aussie an Appropriate Call in 2024?

    Yes it was & is one of those group-chant things the Brits do so well, one half of the crowd would chant "oggie oggie oggie" and the other would chant "oi oi oi" ... the Strayan thing is actually stolen from that. Wikipedia probably isn't super reliable on origins, but still: Oggy Oggy Oggy -...

    Is Aussie Aussie Aussie an Appropriate Call in 2024?

    I don’t think that, in the context where it came to the attention of the public consciousness, ie. when viewing sportsball tournaments, it’s any less appropriate than it ever was. But yelling out on a flight … not offensive, but pretty boganey & cringe. Actually I don’t know if what they said...

    King Charles Visit 2024

    They're of German origin aren't they? House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha? (No not Gozer!) Also Bentley is German. Obviously us Aussies were trying to make him feel welcome & at home! But seriously, I now have a bone to pick. Military aircraft just flew overhead here, it's not happened before so...

    King Charles Visit 2024

    Well, according to Google his mum sold BA in 1987; so flying BA would no longer be like flying in his own private jet and also selling tickets to his own private jet flight because he likes the idea of having others along for company.

    Worst airline meals?

    I think ratatouille is more a main dish, the land-prawns are more often an entree indeed.
