A good night for my tipping comps. Only got the A league game wrong

Grrr.... I hate tipping comps....

Well a little underwhelmed this year. No notice at all by BA that it was my birthday, nor any notice by Hilton - and that's with both of them looking at the passport, so they obviously don't look at the dates on them! On that note, off to bed.... and Venice seems to disappoint again. Transport on strike so was difficult to get to the hotel. Never really liked this place, not sure why I thought a 2nd time would be any better!

Alright.. I take it back, feeling the love now

No love here...

I had a hotel overcharge me by $60 AUD... In the end I had to pay the charge and head immediately to the airport in order to catch my flight.

I'm not trying to be negative, but that is a really very upsetting for me. What a great "birthday present"... Needless to say I shall be sending forcefully worded feedback in the coming days.

Got nothing on my actual bday but then today upgrade to the Top Floor Tower Suite and greeted with "Happy Birthday", riiiiight!

For the cruisers amongst you ... just saw a massive cruise ship getting pulled by a tug go past us and noticed it had a slippery slide on the top deck, nice!

Shrek flying MH to CMB today. Their IT is a bit flaky to say the least. Ended up having to phone them for seat selection.

I hope he can enjoy some time down the coast, enjoyed the south west of Sri Lanka.

As opposed to my phone case which has been submerged a couple of times my lifeproof iPad case just got a workout from a coffee spill, it coped perfectly! I'll just have to rinse it under the tap when I get home.....

The most depressing day of the year... My birthday

Given my deteriorating health I probably won't last the rest of this year, so it's likely to be my last birthday, but it's been a grand life... And bring on all the miles before I go!!!!

And I thought my posts were cryptic!

Just so you won't be forgotten please PM me your QFF number and PIN. I'll make sure those points don't go to waste.

You can have penegal's QFF points, I want the KrisFlyer ones :mrgreen:

And goodbye one and all. It has been good.

Flatmate talked me into a 18km bike ride this afternoon...

 

[Pushka]

And goodbye one and all. It has been good.

What does this mean?

And goodbye one and all. It has been good.

Until next time?

Champagne is chilled and waiting...

What does this mean? 

Depending on the circumstances it could mean different things.

 

[Pushka]

Depending on the circumstances it could mean different things.

Exactly. I'd like to know. Usually not good...

 

[JohnK]

Exactly. I'd like to know. Usually not good...

It could be like the phrase "Goodbye and thanks for all the fish"?

I will be there on Sunday (13th) for a few days, I am staying at the Galle Face thanks to some recommendations on Facebook.

Back a week later at the Hilton, then a week after that with a TBC hotel...

I am going to CMB almost as much as DRW and SIN currently

And just as Shrek's gone, right on cue child number 4 comes down with fever, headache and vomiting
It's going to be a long night me thinks. Hopefully the before school babysitter doesn't have daytime plans

As do I, for some MH flights due in ~2 to 3 weeks time. I'd better get around to it I guess unless I find myself in seats i don't want.
