The totally off-topic thread

[drron]

After an in flight emergency (sick pax whom I was asked to assist) back on Boxing day, at the end of the flight, the FA took my boarding pass "to write it up". Disappointed I havent heard a thing from QF.


Also still slightly shirty about the fact that I had used my hard earned points for a JASA and spent 80% of the flight attending to said passenger. :evil:

You are not alone.On QF when i spent most of the time back in Y from my J seat SIN-LHR I got a bottle of wine and a 747 model from the purser and not even a letter from QF.Would have got a lot more if the IFE wasn't working.:shock:

Is taking the off-topic thread off-topic still considered off-topic or on-topic?

Definitely OT :!:

Could be worse: check which website they are asking you to check (no, not the URL, the description of the website).

I can vouch there is nothing funny about our transport system. Well, at least none of that kind of "funny".....

Damn at no inflight HICAPS - maybe ask for a manual Medicare voucher??

Besides - if presenting problem was pink and breathing - well, no problem really

Maybe I should have put in a complaint that I was unable to watch the IFE.:evil:

So QR Translink has removed the option to purchase daily and off-peak daily paper tickets. Also in the past Saturday and Sunday were off-peak travel all day and now only single paper tickets available.

Can anyone recommend anything in Brisbane City tonight that does not involve frequenting an establishment that allows under 35's inside? I was at the Brisbane Casino last night and let's just say the more I see of today's youth the less respect I have for them.

P.S I should not generalise but not all of today's youth are like the riff raff that frequent the Brisbane Casino...

Well i have upset mrsdrron again.As WP she never gets closer forward than row 4 on the MEL-DPO-MEL services.Once again as usual i have been allocated row 2 as a QPNB.

Yep. Very nasty move by Translink. They are a bunch of idiots - yep, price public transport out of the reach of patrons. BTW, it's comforting to know that daily capping is available on the Go Card - just that they will only do it if you have certain concession cards.

There are a few RSL's around the place that will have an older crowd. Ditto for a few bars in town. But can't think of too many options around the CBD.

Decided to stay home and watch the Fugitive instead. I am never bored of that movie and Harrison Ford is one of my favourite actors with Tommy Lee Jones also in good form as a US Marshal.

While watching the movie I found a bargain airfare on the QF website SIN-MEL-SYD//BNE-SYD-MEL-SIN for ~AUD800. This airfare trumps my previous good find of BKK-HKG-SYD-HKG-BKK.

Well at least wifi available in MEL QP today but so frustrating continually dropping out.:evil:

This afternoon I watched the ABC coverage of Cpl Roberts-Smith receiving his VC. It sounded like the PM called him Corporate Robber Smith :shock:

Pretty impressive postnominals - VC MG!

 

[QF WP]

Roberts-Smith was awarded the Medal for Gallantry for bravery in June 2006 -- and the awarding of the VC makes him the most decorated member of the Australian Defence Force.

I can see him going a long way in the DF if he keeps his head down.

A lovely family shot in the article as well.

I dont think I have ever seen a SASR member identified by their rank before in public, very impressive speech and humble attitude shown on the news last night by the Corporal.
