    Medals on Plane

    Yeah - dont want to wear monkey suit on plane, too hot here...just for the March. If I was 100 and wore them on board I'd probably (and deservedly) get VIP treatment all the way...but I'm not. This isnt the USA, some security guards here might have different views on WW2 and decide the medals...

    Medals on Plane

    Going to BNE for Anzac Day tomorrow, flying Qantas if it matters. Just dug out Grandfathers medals and noticed they are mounted in a group about 6 inches long and have a longish 5 inch or so pin to pin to your clothes. Also have another couple single ones with smaller 1 inch long pin like a...

    The race before Alonso got 20 seconds for scaring Russell off the track...not actually touching him... Stroll rams Ricciardo into Piastri under SAFETY CAR, blames Ricciardo for Braking and gets 10 seconds...there is no common sense to the rules here.

    Ricciardo gets 3 grid spot penalty for Miami!!! Hulk overtook him as he was shunted off by Stroll, so on the next restart he went back in front of Hulk but wasnt allowed to or something?? It would have been a 10 second penalty but he couldnt serve it as he was retired.

    Yes he wasnt gonna stay in 7th, but Stroll was the problem there playing dodgem cars. Some appeals etc going on according to Ted so things may change in the lower places. Cant believe the crowd loves Lewis, havent they heard he hasnt won a race for a couple of years? Zhou was popular as well as...

    Do you leave a tip for hotel housekeeping?

    Usually in the US if a multi day stay...or I might wanna come back to the same hotel again. I leave a couple of dollar notes under the remote, I find they leave random coins alone. I always tip waiters/restaurant, taxi/drivers/guides and concierge IF I use them. Never tipped a bellboy, but...

    The view from my "office"

    Look at my Trip Report here https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/threads/ill-explane-my-north-american-trip.112014/ I was unimpressed by Pikes Place...or any... markets. The bubble gum wall there was my highlight of the place, but it is on every To Do list in Seattle and it was...
