hmm arrived in MEL on a small sc run thinking ill get the earlier flight back to syd but its been cancelled! Both the 4 and 415 flight!

( i feel karma as my 630 am wga syd flight this am left at 1100 . once the engineers drove over from canberra it was 10 mins and boarding started!)

Couldn't even go home as the car keys were firmly ensconced in the lock up carparks security box only to find later that my neighbour had been there!
Rang Mrs C to drop in the spare keys on her way to work to discover that the spare keys were in the car glovebox

And can i whinge that there is no boags premium in the J lounge!!!!

Thinking care factors of others will be low!

What annoys me is that there is no Boags in the DPO lounge.They have that southern rubbish Cascade!

No offense intended to Princess Fiona :mrgreen: but gee I find it really difficult that most call-centres up here are in Glasgow, it is really difficult to understand the thick Scottish accent especially with the pace in which they speak!

There are some accents I love when speaking English. Could listen to a French person talk for hours. The most annoying accents to me are Irish and the Filipino//Yankee accent.

I had one of them the other day who called me "mate" and "buddy". But tone and cadence was just slightly out, alomost as if asking a question that is was ok to call me mate. I could barely stop myself from laughing. "So do you have a good weekend planned, , mate". "Ok buddy, I can get that done for you,, mate?"

The miracle in this story is that it only took you 3 months to get said compensation.
