The totally off-topic thread

Doors locked and can't get to our gate... If I'm lost, I'm lost with about 50 other people, inc a tour group.

I take comfort in I'm not alone looking at our gate but unable to get to it.

Please ask RooFlyer to post his photo of his original seat mate!

Weather at Easter Island, raining,but it's sub tropical, so it should be muggy soon.

Read the article about Woolies in the Weekend Australian to get the story on this. They're using Pandora.

My salt and pepper squid sitting on counter when I walked out. Waited ~20 minutes and no one bothered to bring to me. First lounge nowhere near capacity. Very poor.

That's disappointing.

I can't read the article, however I did ask about the music in store recently. Apparently it changes depending on the time of day - and thus the clientele.

I would have been proactive and asked about it after 5 minutes (not that it would have been S&P Squid).

Yes. I can't imagine in the F lounge just waiting for 30 minutes for a dish. Gottaplanetocatch!

Caught up with a bunch friends over the weekend in Perth.

Even checked the frequent flyer account of one friend who hasn't flown in over a year who had purchased some wine as I had suggested, I didn't want him to lose close to a million points.

Made it!

Currently sitting in our VERY rustic accommodation,enjoying breakfast before being picked up by our guide.

Was too tired to go out last night, and tired of airline meals, so hit the grocery store and made pesto chicken and rice for dinner.

Didn't want to nag/bully. Staff looked totally disinterested.

I have been known to be nicely proactive, getting up, approaching a 'disinterested' staff and enlivening their day by promoting a personal service opportunity.

I think it's in order to make an enquiry at an airport lounge when flights need to be taken and not be seen as harassing them. It's all in the manner of delivery. And lounge managers would rather that than posts in social media.

I broke up a chicken fight today.

Not something I ever thought I would say.
