So a late night flight out of Melbourne on Singapore Air in Business Class. Check in and boarding very smooth. No first class upgrades available, but J class on SQ is very acceptable indeed. It was the old seat configuration, so a bit fiddly to set the bed up, but still comfortable and heaps of...

Just had the lobster yesterday. I didn’t have much to compare it with. I’ve had lobster before, but never prepared that way. It was tender and delicious. Last night was the beef with peppercorns which was equally delicious.

Welcome. As a lurker I’m sure you know the value of this forum. Enjoy.

In all seriousness, Australia would make my top 10, but below Singapore.

I’ve visited Adelaide many times, but not for several years. I’m there now. My wife and I visited just to go to a restaurant, and what a restaurant! Orana. Yes, expensive and you have to book in advance, but it’s as good a reason as any to come here. Only 10 tables, but I heard people say they...

This is exactly my thought. I know Virgin is far from perfect, but I’m glad I’m not loyal to Qantas after reading this and other similar stories. And welcome PaulW. Hang around the forum.

All booked. Lobster Thermadore on two sectors for me. Will report back after our trip.

A A bit off topic. I normally avoid hotel laundry like the plague......unless it’s free. As it was at Sofitel Nusa Dua we stayed at last year. Only 4 items a day or something, and we laundered four items a day.

I have a similar packing procedure, except for a seperate wallet. That seems a bit, er... excessive. ;)

I can’t believe that nobody has said “what, you don’t have household staff to do that?” :)

One of my daughters does this. It is the very last thing that would come to my mind. I put dirty clothes in the laundry basket, hang up trousers and jackets and leave the other stuff until I can be bothered.

No time to get bored on that schedule Scarlett. I was never much of a golfer even when playing weekly. Having just two rounds in the past decade, I would be appalling. The image of me chopping up new and beautiful courses is quite chilling....

We are taking off in about three weeks, so will BTC in the next day or so

Sorry, a 7 day pass. Going from faulty memory

My wife and have a 9 day Green pass for next month. It looks pretty decent. Is it possible to upgrade to Gran Class and at what cost?

Slightly off-topic because not a maxi-cab, but taxi drivers in Sydney tend to be rip off merchants. I was born and lived 20 years in Sydney and travel there maybe 20 times a year, so know my way around. I am often asked where I’m from, and when I say “Melbourne” the detour starts. When this...

That or the Jolimont one......

For me it was when a got home after two weeks in multiple Australian cities. I was driving straight to the MCG to meet my family at an AFL match. As I was on the Tullamarine Freeway I kept reminding myself “I must not miss the exit to the Gold Coast”. Don’t suppose I should have been driving.....

Exactly. There are many cases of young people in particular suiciding after relentless bullying and vilification. Free speech has always had its limits and I have no trouble with Falou’s fate.
