Got my Virgin silver letter in the mail today.

A general thank you to all on AFF...now PS on both VA and QF, never thought I would get anywhere near PS on one airline let alone both domestic ones.

Now to try and get gold, eh? Only if a double SC comes my way, I think

It doesn't stop, this time last year I reached silver with VA, woohoo I thought 2 free lounge passes...

My VA WP pack arrived in the mail yesterday... :shock:

RIP Allan Simonsen.

We all know motor racing is dangerous but it is for me especially sad when your passion is your fate.

It was terrible news to wake up to on Sunday morning. I had the pleasure of meeting him at Phillip Island a few years ago, a genuine nice bloke!

Yes very sad

I did a couple of laps with Alan McNish around the test track at Brooklands in a 911, now that was an experience you think you can drive until you get in a car with one of those guys

The thing I like about mens tennis is that one hundred and something in the world CAN beat a top seed.

Bye Raffa......

The #5 women's seed lost too......

I love watching Rafa play. Just back from injury and he's gone again. Wish some of the female shriekers would disappear quickly.

Coming back from Perth yesterday and talking to the CSM about how that flight would make me P1, she asked me if I was a miner. My reply, 'no I'm well over 18'. She laughed out loud.

So you're a P1 now, are you?

Congratulations... you crazy miner :mrgreen: (SC miner, of course)

As soon as the DSCs come through from my MEL-PER-KTA return trip yesterday I'll be a P1.

I reckon I'll dig the benefits.

Most of the benefits anyway...... to young to drink if you're a miner

I think there's a minor spelling mistake there.

(I'm teetotal so I miss all the benefits of drinking.)

I'll have to dig out that cartoon from years ago about the 2 miners who were off to have the union hear about the brothel that didn't admit minors.
