The totally off-topic thread

[Major]

Anyone going to watch the Open tonight or are there any AFFers over there for the event ?

2012 Open Championship at the Royal Lytham & St. Annes - PGA.com

Would love to be...will have to accept watching it on TV

So... is anyone making popcorn whilst watching the Olympics?



No, they haven't started yet. But the controversy and debacles surrounding everything related to the Olympics except for sport - e.g. security, Heathrow, Olympic lanes, etc. - is making for a fine circus.......


To our resident field "reporter" Flashware - hope you're doing OK over there.

I have managed to avoid all Olympic telecasts in the last 12 years

Let me guess: you don't watch a lot of TV, don't you?

Not to be pedantic or anything.

It's been quite a good laugh and has been a nice light hearted start to the day reading it in the papers each morning, certainly one way to take the stress away :mrgreen: Only arrived back in London late last night and heading off shortly to fly to ARN! TTFN London!

Aaaah... you got me


Though if you were going, "You don't watch a lot of TV, do you?! DO YOU?!" Then the reply came, "I do what?" Would your reply be, "You don't watch a lot of TV!"

Seems a bit incongruous, but whatever.

Health risks with skinny jeans

I'm not sure how reputable this source is, but I have to agree with the sentiment...

TheVine - Skinny jeans will actually break your balls - Life & pop culture, untangled


(and they don't even look good!)

Re: Health risks with skinny jeans

When I see kids in Skinny Jeans, it reminds me of the Michelle and Ferret from Fast Forward.
I have to agree that Skinny Jeans are an awful look, whether it be on a guy or girl. Hopefully it's one fashion trend that will die quickly.

Re: Health risks with skinny jeans

Just to throw a cat amongst the pigeons. The female Aussie Basketball team the Opals flew economy to London whilst their male counterparts the Boomers flew J. Apparently the Opals got upgraded to PE however I guess they'd be thinking what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Olympics outrage: Female athletes fly economy, men fly business

Ok rant time. My personal travel bugbears. People who can't take their tickets when going through the gate at the SYD airport train station. FFS PEOPLE!

Oh and something happening at The Lounge T2 SYD. Gift bags at the door!

On the Olympics I wonder who will get F and J on the charter flight home.

A more fitting question: will they earn ff points & status credits? :shock:

Do charter flights earn ff points and status credits?

Twitter mentions something about a culinary treat in said lounge courtesy of Luke Mangan. Unsure if this is consistent with your experience.

At the end of a previous Olympics, for some reason I remember that Gold Medal winners were seated in First, Silver, Business and Bronze, Premium Economy, everyone else in Economy.

I recall the same - seems fitting.

So that means the Opals will be going home in J/F and the boomers in Y?
