The totally off-topic thread

Yes Las Ramblas is a hot spot.I used my old trick-stuff a few brochures in the back pocket.Though the pickpocket there was not nearly as good as the ones in the old Bugis street in Singapore.I definitely felt the hand in the pocket in Barcelona.

I just wanted to say a very public thanks to Simo for valuable advice and ( late night ) assistance last night

Mrs GPH had her iPhone stolen in starbucks in Barcelona last night. After getting nowhere with Telstra call centre, Simo gave me sage advice, the right number and in 3 minutes flat had it all sorted.

Big thanks mate, the beers are one when next we meet ( and we will need a new phone )

Damn, several AFFers and FTers have had Barcelona thefts recently

Pass my best wishes onto Mrs GPH, hopefully she isn't too shaken up.

AFF is a great community. Good on ya Simo!

its also worth noting, for a police report you need your imie ( is that correct spelling?) numer as well, so had to wait till i came into office to get it to her

IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity)

Gee, I thought I was going to get stabbed on Las Ramblas.

My brother now lives in Barcelona - recently moved from Munich. I could ask him to go to cash converters to look for the phone...

Is that the SysAdmin job you mentioned before? Did he take it?

Yes and no. That job was working in his team. He's doing his same job but re-based to Barcelona.

Sorry about the confusion on that whole thing. I was sms'ing him with questions and he must have got a bit annoyed at me or something.

Wondering if its only me that makes a meal out of the Exec Lounge canapes /offerings when I'm lazy, nothing organised and tired?
Currently enjoying my nibbles and bubbly in the IC Club

If I am staying at a Hilton and I have lounge access then dinner are the canapes.

And for breakfast if I am not lazy I will have 2 sittings at 7:00am and then at 10:00am. Last time I had breakfast at Hilton Hua Hin at ~10:00am and did not need to eat again until I arrived in Pattaya at ~8:00pm.

I will miss Hilton Diamond on the few times I stay at Hiltons....

Never had 2 breakfast sittings :shock: I'm lucky to get one and that will probably consist of two macchiatos
Have just enjoyed my second lazy dinner at the IC Club canapés. Change of scenery for tomorrow night I think

Never had 2 breakfast sittings :shock:

I like sampling the 2 different breakfasts on offer in the general breakfast area and the lounge.

Does that mean they have adopted the 'schoolies week' phenomenon Tony?

Onya Simo!

GPH - hope Mrs GPH is OK. Can imagine it would be an unsettling experience.

Thanks for that. In the wash up she admitted that she was philosophical about the phone. It was the data she was most concerned about

I love the AFF app! Bit confused about all the one sided conversations. But then I remember that I need to thank everyone who is not quoting replies.

From another thread:

And a PS to others-please stop quoting the one who is unique on AFF-the only one to ever make it to my ignore list.I really have no interest in those posts!:shock:

Couldn't agree more.

Has anyone heard of "Smoked Salmon Pastrami" ? It's on offer tonight at the Millennium Hilton Seoul Exec lounge and looks and tastes like regular smoked salmon

A guess, but perhaps the sliced appearance has been mistakenly interpreted as meaning 'pastrami'.
