    General Medical issues thread

    Talked to my Dad last night, was slightly concerned as when I first rang, they had guests over and my step-mother commented about needing to catch me up on Dad's medical news. Anyway, Dad's off to Club Wes on Friday for a TURP, expected to stay over the weekend and be discharged on Monday. I'm...

    What cheeses me off

    People with umbrellas who only consider what happens with their umbrella spikes in front of them, not behind or to the side of them. People with umbrellas who stand in front of someone in a poncho and don't consider they are now blocking the view of said poncho wearer. These were my thoughts...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    QF12 dep LAX 1/12 Menu posted above I found the chicken dry, as did @CaptainCurtis in his review. The diced capsicum, etc, would have been better as a sauce. Didn’t touch the potatoes, the snow peas were yummy. Dessert was nice once I scraped all the fruit gel off the top (I prefer plain...

    Hahaha! I madethe same choices, and thought he same of the chicken. I scraped off most of thr mandarin gel. This is a new November menu, was an older menu and the older service style when I flew QF12 on 31/10.

    Qantas LAX First Lounge

    I’m more commenting as I was hoping it would be a new menu compared to when I was here on Halloween. I don’t care when they switch over, just wanted better desserts. Might go to the cupcake shop downstairs. 😝

    QF11 J on 16 Nov. New style tray service, FAs were clearly getting used to it. No perceivable difference to me as a pax, as I recall, but the week before travel was full-on, as have the past two weeks of our Schoolies trip. 😉 I had the steak, very tasty. Opted for no dessert, nighky unusual...

    QF94 Business LAX-MEL A380 Trip Report

    I had the same menu on QF11 on 31/10. The night flights ex-USA have only had a main option (no entree) for ages. There also tends not to be a pre-dinner drink service IIRC. For food, I think they're finding most people have eaten in the lounge before, and don't want a three course meal at...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Thanks! If I could find them, I think I'd set off some kind of alerts with the number of $500 gift cards we'd need for this bill. Shouldn't complain about capital gains too much, I guess.

    Flat Whites have been available in good American coffee shops, and even in Starbucks, for at least 10 years.

    eSims, what is your experience.

    I went to the US two weeks ago, and used the T-Mobile app to get a 30 day eSIM (I'll be back within the time period). I was able to use the email address that has previously been used with a T-Mobile account, unlike prior visits where I had to create a burner email account. The eSIM worked...
