The totally off-topic thread

So you feel no pain? Feet all healed?

Sent from my GT-I9100 using AustFreqFly

Hm, not quite, but it's at the stage where it's about as good as it can be, so just tough on through :mrgreen:

A disappointing Trafalgar Day for me. The French Concession in Shanghai just isn't the same as Paris on this auspicious day. With Agincourt Day, and the 852nd anniversary of The Treaty of Brétigny to come it is going to be a long week to be a Brit outside of France.

Yes the 852nd anniversary is coming up, but lets get over the 652nd one first!!

If you want to see economy queues then line up for an Air Asia flight in BKK. I never want to go through that experience.

Even better; train station queues at Shanghai or Hangzhou..

The things you do when you're not travelling;

replaced 2 taps in the 2nd toilet,
washed the car,
did some weeding (not as easy as it sounds when you have 3/4 acre)
washed the motorbike,
spent some time with the family,
browsed AFF.

Sorry to start your morning on a sour note, but I think munitalP's infamous t*** of the week (or more than one) has come early:

Big bonuses paid to Queensland Rail and Translink execs despite public transport woes | News.com.au

Alright, not outright ones, but those of you familiar with transport in the Brisbane / SEQ area at the moment know that this is tantamount to white collar crime.

Don't worry 12F is a fine seat, First Class on a QF A380 is overrated, it is just as nice in J.*


* I have recently completed a course on empathy and making people feel better, hopefully this complete and utter lie will make coolumbia feel better!!!

Things I have done today when not travelling (this week is the only nine day period I will not be away overnight in a 16 week stretch):

- Taken the rollaboard to the Tumi store to get the rattling wheels looked at

You should really move to 11F.

I believe i did the same course and as a result of the touchy feely police I feel better already


Leaning forward in my seat as I make eye contact and nod slightly with all of your points Tony
How did that make you feel?
Is there anything else you can share?
Here is the organisations idea of counselling ,the 1300WECARE number,handing over the card
Ring it whenever you want at no cost
Shaking your hand as you leave maintaining eye contact,voice still in a low monotone

I've only ever been in f and y on an a380 ( and the y trip still is legendary in the family holiday saga)
Time to see what business class really is like!(especially seeing as I didn't put an upgrade request in!)
Now to the next decision
Chokkies for the FA's or not??

I found a $5 note yesterday in the car park at Golf. My friend stepped over it without noticing and I saw it.

Big mistake....
