SO over this flippin' cold!!! I made it through most of winter ok and it had to hit me on the last few days of winter. :evil::shock: OK I did spend a month in SF but that's if you can consider 12 degree temps to be "summer."

Do they still serve Nobilo sauv blanc in whY? I don't know what it's like for UK flights, but as I recall they served it for regional flights as short as LGW-AMS. It's so yummy that I learnt to ask for 2 bottles everytime i pressed the call bell. Made the 1 hr or so flight go a lot quicker....:mrgreen:

I'll be flying GLA- LHR in 2 weeks. Pretty sure that's an alcohol free zone until I hit the First lounge in T3 prior to to 380 to MEL ( definitely not an alcohol free zone and hopefully also in F if upgrade comes through !!)

Which ones in particular? Nulanji dreaming, Australian flag or Qantas going to Albany, WA next year?

First, second, fifth. Somehow I always seem to see that side of the Australian public, of course, not on AFF! But in other places.

I showed New Zealanders in the bar tonight, they agreed with my thinking…

Don't forget the Bollinger. Usually '99 but I've had 2000 once.

Fair enough. It is a sensitive issue and you are not going to get everyone to agree. So whichever way you go someone is going to be offended.

Do

And am I right in reading that you are a FACEM in NSW? What's the work like there?

samh004, I read the same thing this morning on my morning walk...and thought how they should be here on AFF.

Correct. When not dealing with toadies from the moribund state government work is good. Reasonable working conditions, good conference leave and allowances (hence my love of travel and all things AFF ).Not sure what will happen when the dreaded "4hour rule" comes in !

Yeah, the size is unbelievable. Think the Royal Easter Show + Royal Melbourne Show + Ekka then add a whole lot of beer halls. Then triple it. :shock::shock:

Super awesome fun though!!
