The totally off-topic thread

[anat0l]

I understood everything except SFA. My guess from context is that it means "Nothing" although it's possible we can't spell out the F on this forum in the TLA.

Your guess is correct - Sweet <expletive> All

But why the summer shot of Tassie?

I have about 50 forum photos on photobucket and they now want $400USD per year to host... Yeah, nah.

I have been using Flickr for many years. Have many thousands of photos there. Easy to use, nice iPad uploaded apps. Free plus Pro options. ( I use pro version for no adds.)

Haw, haw, haw; what a card. We may be cold(-ish), but not as slow on the uptake as some. Don't suppose that's some over-compensatrion for the temps in Sydney recently?

Drron - the turnover in NW Health has been so great there's no corporate memory left!

Thanks for asking, I'm meant to go back Thursday, everything seems fine now.

Late out of Haneda last night, fuel valve issue, then we waited for over an hour to get our bags in Sydney.

Looking forward to being in warm(?) Canberra in about two hours, not!

I'm a long suffering St Kilda supporter, still remember 1966 like it was yesterday! How sad is that.

As a Bulldogs supporter, when you finally win a premiership after a long gap, you can finally not have to say: remember <insert year>.

I feel guilty if I take a bottle of water or a can of coke "to go" when I leave the lounge, these guys took a bag to stock up on beer

Once again, as I said in another thread, this is a case of it's not legally wrong but morally and/or ethically wrong, so you can't do a thing.

People these days don't have much honour or integrity, so calling them out on the practice is likely to result in a shoulder shrug or you simply getting slagged back (particularly, to mind your own business).

Some other people, particularly US-based ones (including many FF types), see it as just a bit more revenge against the airlines since the latter are so good at screwing us over all the time with unfair conditions, one-sided contracts and crying poor despite mega profits and cost cutting.

Well if it is a hotel lounge, there are always signs saying food and drinks may not be removed. So it is against hotel policy/procedures/T&Cs.

Yes and she approves!

Launnie eh? whoha!

Going up in the world.May very well come down and stay at Saffire again at the end of the stint.

Have you enjoyed Saffire previously drron? Pretty but quite remote is how I remember it.

I've asked the VA lounge for a bottle of water to take on board and never been declined.

Well, yes it is 'legally wrong' and called theft. T&C of lounge entry etc is that all food and beverages are for consumption in the lounge only.

But there are many who think stealing from a lounge is simply their 'right'. They are 'legally' wrong, although few lounge staff would challenge them. Filling a bag with excess alcoholic beverages is not at all acceptable. Many cases this would be caught at security and items confiscated, especially in DXB or boarding international flights where there are 100 ml limits on liquids.
