The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

Thank christ today is over.

If I never see this annual report I've been working on for the last three weeks again I'll be very grateful. I'd like to post what I think our company's acronym stands for - but it involves the C Word, and it's the only suitable word I can think of right now which describes just how big of a so-and-so our senior executives are.

How's everyone else doing.

Great! Just managed to open my bank account here and managed to get more than the standard 'cash account' Another thing I can now cross off the list.

Woohoo. Who with?

Lloyds TSB.

Lloyds TSB.

Cool. They're supposed to be pretty good.

Oh and I'd thought WMC had gone the way of the dodo.

How's everyone else doing.

Enjoying my platinum honeymoon.

I guess you're not referring to the former WMC that BHP swallowed.

Yes I am. There were a few variations on the acronym including one that used the C word. It was a pretty good reflection of some aspects of the company.

As a shareholder at the time I can say that technically BHP didn't swallow WMC. as they changed their name to Alumina and spun out WMR, which BHP purchased.

Congrats!!

Congrats!!

Thanks Sam. I really have everyone here on AFF to thank for making it.

It is very exciting. I have also been increasingly annoyed at the Qantas lady tempting me since I made gold in May:

Haha. I’ll hit Gold in December, but wont be striving for Platinum before February, and am looking forward to the 50% bonus on points

That attached figure looks like it came from a brochure. Source?

QF has a stack of these "relaxed person in lounge" and staring into space like photos....

As a gold member it appears on your summary page.

Edit: Actually - looks like it appears on all the pages

I don't know why, but that image & text makes me think of a 100% points bonus when you visit an exclusive men's club called Platinum. Never knew any men's clubs actually were on the FF scheme

 

[anat0l]

Holy moley.

I had a stay in mid-ish August at a hotel which I booked through the QF website. It is not a major chain hotel but it was one that earns QFF points.

Normally I would have to chase up one of these to get the points, but I just checked my statement and the credit is there! Admittedly, it has taken about 2-3 weeks since check-out for it to appear, but I didn't have to chase up.

:shock:

Currently sipping a Cattier Clos De Moulin ( whatever that is ) in BA F lounge T3, spa treatment booked for 8 pm, only for CL and WP according to dodgy French spa attendant. Made me produce WP card as OWE on boarding pass is a "lower" level according to him?? Will try to do a F lounge hop before that. Life is good

Lap it up Fiona.

It sounds like the F lounge is a much better place to be than back in the swamp.

And this is why we don’t want BA owning every airline, because they don’t actually want to share benefits

Did you get to the CX lounge? Any good?

:shock:

What??? Not having to chase up points from a hotel? This is unheard of.

I immediately motion for a royal commission to figure out why this happened, and stop it from occurring ever again. :mrgreen:
