OQE operating QF93 just backed out - over two hours late.

Interesting; still showing only a 20 minute delay on LAX arrival.

The kicker is that PAX boarded on time (2½ hours ago) - I'd hate to be in 85F or something.

Whoever was responsible for typing up the menu must've forgotten to use spellcheck, assuming they were trying to spell Mediterranean or is "Meditterean vegetables" some kind of nouveau cuisine I haven't yet heard of? :shock: :shock:

Haha, I'm also wondering where they stole the lobster from ("poached" lobster)

And for the record: alcohol decreases performance in job and life sadly

Shouldn't argue with a doctor but even with decreased performance at work some of us are still better than some will ever be. Sad but true....

Migrants should "wear deodorant"?

Can we please exchange our politicians for say Iranians or Chileans on a 1:1 basis?

So should shopping trolley collectors, or maybe there is no such thing as industrial strength for the hard work they do?

I'm told my blank prescription pads are worth over $100k each on the black market....and I have about a dozen lying around!! PS. In case you are wondering, they are "not for sale"... a career ending move I would have thought!

Who told you that??
Hillbilly heroi_ wouldnt cost more than a slab of beer. 100 sheets per pad. And most importantly the addicts who do this have a habit of getting caught pretty quickly. That said the pads should always be secured.

I totally agree, I can remember a number of italians at uni who could have done with deodorant to cover the smell of garlic and stale sweet in polyester clothes.

But in no way would I suggest all migrants from Italy need to use deodorant.

Well it kind of depends on the environment....various trips to/from Qld have revealed many "no shoes/no shirts" type of people who clearly don't make a priority of washing and they didn't seem like immigrants. Most of my own experiences of Italians, due to the environment we were working in at the time, have been with professionals speaking several languages and wearing $4000 suits rather than polyester shirts (plastic clothes - yuck)...my current colleagues are pretty much all from South-East Asia, India and the Middle East...no issues there.

I went to uni in Brisbane, long pants and long sleeve shirt all man made fibres in summer is not good. Anyway, I was trying to be ironic with my comment given the background of Ms Gambaro.

Let's just say to each their own.

Long sleeves and long pants is my standard dress everywhere including Thailand. I will wear a t-shirt and long pants while playing golf but usually long sleeve and jeans in evening.

Natural fibre or plastic? That was the other key part of what I wrote polyester and smelling of stale sweet. That is not good for anyone.

I used to wear jeans in summer when living near OLP. But I wouldn't wear them for a week without washing them and denim is a natural fibre that breathes.
