Any life left in this thread?

no

 

[serfty]

no

It's still here but; obviously reaching that inherent stability helps ...

Hmmm I wonder how many smilies have been posted on this thread?

Mujibar now lives in a neighbourhood near you, and works at Telstra on the Help Desk.


….(and several of his rellies work at the Citibank, AMEX or ????? call centres)

Think I keep running into his sister and second cousin at the new "Australian" call centre for AA

[Kiwi Flyer]

Not long to go to reach 1,000 posts!

No, not long to go now.

Was just reminiscing on why I set up this thread ...seems that it has had a usefulness for some (if nothing more than padding the post count, of course this includes me).

Maybe we should rename it OMNI :shock:

OMNI? This thread is far more useful and informative than OMNI.

Too many threads going off topic. Still happens now anyway.

...(if nothing more than padding the post count, of course this includes me)

Post padding 101!

• Post 5 consecutive posts on the one thread, each within a minute of each other, when no-one else is logged on, where all that was required was one post but just too lazy to combine posts
• Post on a thread and 30 seconds later decide that you want add 2 more words so just add new reply rather than edit previous reply
• Learn to post useless one liners, at least every second post
• Continually flame people's posts so that they bite and you can then just add another post as an apology to original flame
• Post trip reports making sure to break the post length down to less than 3 paragraphs to maximise post count. That reminds me I need to post a trip report or two soon.
• Run useless guessing contests
• Post useless travel articles
• Ask/answer silly questions about DONE4's or similar status challenges
• Constantly ask about lounge access on your next trip
• Get answers as to what is the best economy seat on a flight from people who only travel business class and first class

Maybe we should rename it OMNI :shock:

I have never visited OMNI on FT but could not imagine it anywhere near as useful as this thread!

I don't think I know anyone who does this. Who are you referring to?

Nor sure, but I found it humerous ...

So to remain off topic, there must be a list of things that are forbidden just in case they being it back on topic for a thread in the AFF forum. Perhaps they include:

• The mention of aluminium (or composite) tubes held in the sky by anti-gravitational forces
• The mention of programs aimed at targeting people to hand over their money in exchange for the services of a specific provider, usually by rewarding the exchange of large amounts of money
• The mention of semi-private waiting areas where one can indulge in sustenance of both liquid and solid forms, often also including personal hygiene facilities
• Discussion of the amount (volume and/or weight) of personal affects that can be temporarily provided to a transportation organisation for the purpose of carriage to another location
• The ability of obtain free or discounted goods or services in exchange for continued swiping of a particular rectangular piece of plastic while visiting procurement establishments
• The mention of multi-wheeled vehicular terrestrial transportation for people between mining communities of Western Australia

Just about anything else would be on-topic for this off-topic thread.

It has been a while since there was any mention of a bus, other than a certain large airbus

It is such a pity that THE bus of FT and AFF folklore doesn't run anymore.

I believe the mention of a bus is no longer verboten.

This may be due to the TPR/PBO code share arrangements for the bus ceasing around June this year. A service is still available, but has no QF number.

what about the aa codeshare trains in europe?

 

[serfty]

what about the aa codeshare trains in europe?

Does that means we can't mention the QF codeshare trains in South East Asia/South West Pacific?

i.e. QF2921 or QF2922

 

[serfty]

I can see it now: Don't mention the ch•• ch••!
