The AFF Scavenger Hunt

[drewbles]

I believe a certain MD of a largeish ISP has an aircraft with registration VH-TCP ..

Oh I forgot about said owner


James May has a Champion 8KCAB Decathlon a/c with G-OCOK

And they had the Top Gear Air Ship:
G-TOPG

Gotta love it

And a light just went off in my head. in Jan/Feb I flew CX J (HKG-PEK-NRT) and admired the rocks on the meal tray. I thought it was part of the decorations.

Then I saw the photo here and realised that they were salt and pepper shakers. Still as noted elsewhere I don't consume added salt and rarely have pepper.

Wonder what I can find on Friday?

A man of great honesty you are, Hvr (but you could have kept it to youself and we wouldn have been none the wiser)...

But I've done similar with headphones (not knowing where to put them in a seat type I've never experienced).

If you end up flying CX again, remember that they sell the shakers, so don’t try put them in your bag as they’ll quite often ask for them back.

You could do the technique where if they ask if shakers were given on your tray, just mention you never noticed.

Of course, this kinda doesn't work if you're caught using said shakers, or your food clearly was seen with pepper on it.

I do agree it’s nice to have little mementos from your trip, but where does it stop, especially when you can buy them anyway.

Hmmm...good point.

Although most of the stuff I've...."borrowed"....probably can't be bought, or you'd need to sleep with someone to get your hands on.

I have a pic of a bottle of Krug on my phone, but am not sure how to attach/ upload while on the phone.

I don’t think you can, I’m sure I’ve tried before.

OK, here's the photo of the bottle of Krug. My ILs enjoyed this on the morning of my FIL's 70th.

Looks good... (but) where was the photo taken and what date?

And another light went off. I'll be able to see soon.

I actually flew CX SIN-HKG-PEK in JAN.

PEK-NRT was on JL in FEB.

The photo was taken last night at my in-law's house.

Ok, so here is my third "find". Been waiting for someone else to come up with something creative and then saw this on the ledge on the veranda.

#7: A single word which has two distinct antonyms (these antonyms are not synonyms of each other).

Antonym 1: On - The light is off. The light is on.
Antonym 2: Fresh - The fish is off. The fish is fresh.
Antonym 3: Stopped - The racers are off. The racers have stopped.

Do I get extra points for having three distinct antonyms for a single word?

Photo take at my home on 11th March 2010.

No extra points, but you do get the find (that's your 3rd find now) and my admiration. Well done NM!

My idea for this word was "short" (i.e. opposites can be "tall" or "long"), but this works just as well.

Well I haven't seen the water feature yet and this may be a bit controversial but here goes.

Taken this afternoon in the SYD QP whilst waiting for a flight back to CBR.

Jury - should we give it to him?

 

[anat0l]

Before I forget, I should say, "It's good!"

I better do a status update soon before I forget who has gotten 3 and who hasn't.

 

[samh004]

Sure, it’s a feature

As for #28, with St Paddy’s day coming up on the same night as our BNE drinks, we should definitely cross that one off the list
