Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey has died:

Enough now.

Well that's a shock. Saw them on their first tour here some years ago, after they re-formed. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, took my early 20's daughters and they too were blown away. Great music, great melodies. Gone too soon

Someone must have hacked JohnK's account.

What routing is the hacker sending him on?

(We could start a thread: pick the routing of JohnK's first Jetstar flight! Winner gets a return trip on Tiger......)

/disclaimer/
not an actual offer:shock:

Not as bad as it sounds? Hope not! :shock:

Having done this once recently - it's doable and not so bad as it seems :mrgreen:

Sure it's doable. Fair few hours sitting around doing nothing. May just go through immigration and back again for 2 extra stamps in passport.

Last thing I'd do living in Europe - but that's only because every trip I do I end up with multiple stamps and even with a bigger passport it's filling up rapidly.... and that's with not needing to get UK stamps in there! If I had stamps on entry back to the UK it'd be much worse :shock:

I'd have to say THE best concert I've ever been to to...

That must have been The Long Road Out of Eden tour in 2010. Time flies!

I got the frequent traveller passport ~6 years ago and I don't think I am even halfway through it yet. It also got wet (either rain or from sweat) as I had it in my back pocket playing golf in Thailand and has left some damage on the photo page. My photo is sort of smudged. Scans Ok most times but occasionally stuggles. I have been told need to get a new passport if going to the USA. No plans in going to the USA just yet but would like to get a new passport so trying to fill this passport up.

Oh and sometimes if I have long(ish) I don't like to sit around in lounge for too long. Prefer to walk around.

Looks like could have my first Jetstar flight coming up in October. Very scary....

Don't worry. If you live in BNK it's either Jetstar, Virgin or Rex. I prefer JQ and tend to book the fare that gives you QF points and status credits. I have flown MEL - SIN and SYD - HNL in JQ business and have found it to be quite comfortable. I nearly committed murder on one flight back from HNL on JQ business when the a**ehole behind me snored through the night. I got as far as aking the FA for a pillow which I would have used to smother him, but when she arrived with the pillow, and heard this pr*ck she woke him up and saved me 15 -20 in Long Bay or Goulburn. Jetstar is OK.

You should try the overnight train from Jodhpur to Delhi... The whole carriage was doing it pretty much!

The curry farts would put me off!

 

[JohnK]

Good grief JohnK, what has happened for you to contemplate such a thing?

I expect a full and frank trip report.

Think I'm not well.

Now I am contemplating BKK-AUH-MEL-SYD on EY economy. :shock:

Are you febrile ??

Thanks for expanding my vocabulary mrs.dr.ron !
Can you put febrile into a working sentence?

Hi cove and friends,
How about "Every time I hear Qantas use the word "Enhancement" I have a febrile reaction!"

Aside from the redundant punctuation, isn't there already a working sentence?

Are you febrile ??

Being hot under the collar is not the same as being febrile.

My neighbour Alan says "Every time I hear Qantas using the word "Enhancement" I have a febrile erection!"

Your neighbour needs to see these people -
