The totally off-topic thread

Welcome to the Kingdom of Denmark...

Sometime before 05/2012 when the airline pictured went bust.

 

[Pollywaffle]

I packed a hoodie, a denim jacket and a cardigan. None of which were any match for the winds up the Eiffel Tower last night.

But you were up the Eiffel Tower. There's the silver lining.

Still in business and flying, albeit mostly charter flights.

No, went bankrupt:

The actual ATR pictured is back in the air under a new rego:



Delivery date Airline Registration Remark
28/11/1996 Cimber Air OY-CIL Correct
29/01/2009 Cimber Sterling Airlines OY-CIL Ceased operations 03/05/2012 Correct
14/01/2013 Danish Air Transport OY-RUO Correct


Cimber AS is a different corporate identity, essentially a Phoenix company using assets bought from the bankrupt Cimber Serling AS.

anat0l knows all about that in late November :mrgreen:

Yep, went up to the top of the tower with no such jacket - just my short sleeved shirt and jeans. Perfect during the day....

Don't know how I didn't get a cold after that one. What I wouldn't have given to have had any of the three items mentioned by blackcat20.

Quote all the statistical jargon you want, it was a shadow exercise, shifting funds/assets from one entity to another, it's still Cimber airlines.

Beg to differ, they even have a different IATA designator representing the difference QA VS QI. What your saying is a bit like saying Compass MK2 was the same as Compass MK1, legally not the case.

 

[Bundy Bear]

That went off topic and the lounge isn't in Denmark

To me, both the following quotes are basically stating the same thing that essentially had the same result.

You are not going back up the Eiffel tower are you?

I feel the cold more than anyone else so always go prepared. On a positive I do not feel the heat much.

I'm thinking you've had your thyroid checked out?

Is the thyroid related to not feeling the heat?

 

[Pushka]

Is the thyroid related to not feeling the heat?

It's more related to feeling the cold (more than others). If you feel the cold then it could mean your thyroid is underactive. It also contributes to weight gain, lethargy and muscle and joint pain.

I've just been looking at the new Sydney train maps.

New maps? Are they going somewhere different? :shock:

There's the dividing into the 2 different train operators & then there's the New York style line numbering that will be different. The look & feel of the Sydney map is changing compared to the current map. I haven't seen a version on an official public website yet. The way that some of the lines are operating will be different with the new timetable come October.
