The totally off-topic thread

[Bundy Bear]

A Qantas employee won their case in 1996 when they became engaged to a US Marine and relocated (AMACSU v Qantas Airways Ltd), while a Bachelor who had always lived with his parents lost his when the parents moved to Tassie and he followed (Thomson v Pauls). I suspect illness might sometimes be easier or harder to prove depending on the case details, when your Doctor says you have the highest blood pressure he has ever seen, in my case it was quite clear.

Things get more complicated as life goes on, I hope traveling is helping to ease the blood pressure.

Not working and a fortune in pills seems to have solved the problem

Pills worked for me. 25 years ago BP was 175/110. Daily pill ever since. BP last week was 127/74

I was over 200/120 and are now similar, so the pills are working, focus is to actually find a new job, leave money dries up kick and nothing replaces commission.

Looks like QF678 tomorrow is a 767, I can't recall seeing one at ADL before.

 

[markis10]

QF651 and QF660 were both 767s ex ADL to BNE today, end of school hols.

and a 747 did a SYD-PER yesterday (and it went to Antarctica today)

The 14:25 and 15:25 flights SYD-ADL are often 767s on a Friday. This can be variable.

Brilliant Adelaide Australia Day get together. SWMBO is unimpressed with my state.

You have 3,000 post(s) in this thread, last Yesterday.

Not quite correct now but that is a lot of time spent in this thread.

Also, I blame Mal​ as being a bad influence

It is hard to be a bad influence when you are already bad!

Hanging in the Etihad Diamond lounge at AUH awaiting my six hour delayed flight home. Hmmm ... billecart-salmon ...

Of course, I was here 3½ prior to the orginal schedule.

Go spend ten minutes in the al Reem hole, it makes everything look good, even delays.

Can't say I am uncomfortable

- 10:20pm originally rescheduled to 12:30am and then 4:30am - now just past 3am.

I have had two 45 minute power naps.

In between sips

How many glasses in a sip? ;-)

 

[serfty]

There's about hour of sips in a glass - only on my 4th as taking it easy as I have a 12+ hours flight coming up (hopefully) in front row Business.

Enough on the pallate to get by in small dosages.

"2000 Billecart-Salmon "Cuvée Nicolas François Billecart" Brut Champagne"

$100 bucks a bottle - not too shabby for that price...

See Brisbane as it was in the swinging 60's

There is a Qantas ad in one of the photos for travel to London. Note the airfare price.

If you are lucky enough to get an Op-Up, how do they notify you?

Phone call? At check-in? Whilst doing OLCI? Whilst boarding aircraft?
