sertfy - I have found "aussie humour" or not - calling someone a wanker usually results in a broken nose

Welcome to AFF (sure that's been said before but not by me!!). Yes a straight up labelling someone a "w_nker" might get you a broken nose (by the way we aren't all violent at the drop of a hat!!). The WP tag is probably more synonymous with the DYKWIA attitude.

If you want to get up serfty's nose call him a "W_nker Collingwood supporter!!"

....and the problem with that is?

As Harvy indicated its just a joke.

It could be described as depreciative Aussie humour.

I'm proudly both QF WP & VA WP.

Double w@nker if you like.

Is that self deprecating spelling? Or were you referring to the finance industry word that starts with b and rhymes with w@nker? :mrgreen:

I've been using Vlounging to describe lounging in a VA lounge (Vlounge).

I thought of another one last night to describe VA's new wireless in flight entertainment - WIFE.

I'm sure the better half of many here will see fit to strike you sharply over the head for that

It's an acronym!

Not my fault if VA are calling it Wireless IFE!

Yes it does- why does no one who administers this vus ( very useful site) take notice and whack one into the main page headings!!!

Have a look at post #2 above. There is a list of abbreviations and it has a sticky attached.

Also see:Abbreviations.

Ok, so I have read a number of thread on here about PCV but I just can't get a clear sense of what factors would increase or lower one's PCV, is there a definitive list somewhere ?

I'm fairly sure I understand the concept broadly, spend more money with an airline = they like you for doing that, but surely there is more to it? what about frequency of flights, do they track when you earn by using a partner airline (ie. they see you flying but no cash for them = lower PCV). Anyway, over to the AFFers who are boffins on this sort of thing...

I think calling Serfty Sertfy probably will get you a broken nose!!

I don't give a rat's a### if someone calls me a wanker... I may deserve it and therefore ignore it, will most likely ignore it anyway as I really don't care about other people's opinions, or if I am in a feisty mood quite possibly call you something far far worse in a much louder voice if there's other people about to highlight YOUR wankerness to.

I really don't have any Australian friends who would care enough to biff someone over it or most other insults. Most likely get a gob full in return though.

 

[Pinkmoose]

That is so wrong!

Does Mrs Sprucegoose read AFF?

It's Alice Springs. It might be a good one to keep an eye on for runs as VA start flying there from ADL and DRW next week. Amazing what a bit of competition does.

Yes, thanks Captain Halliday
