    What cheeses me off

    WCMO... at the supermarket, there is an Express line for "10 items or less". Guess how many people in the line clearly have greater than 10 items on them (one shamelessly pushes a trolley full of goods). Chastising from some in line and a final call at the checkout point by the cashier does not...

    What cheeses me off

    Probably the Nous écrire breadcrumb in the English version should have been a red flag 😁 Of course, the email you just received might be their universal way of putting it in the too hard pile. "Hey, we did our job! Ticket closed!" On another note, why would your specific IP be blocked? Really...

    They obviously didn't notice the first time, so wouldn't it be a BCC? :)

    Current Qantas First Lounge Menu (SYD/MEL) and relevant topics

    I'm going to go with "no".... in the sense that the suppliers of the food may be halal, but without that proof, it can't be claimed as halal. And I'm not certain QF is going to go through the process to get that certification. Come to think of it, that raises an interesting side point. MH...

    What cheeses me off

    Dubbed "shubs" by some people. They are everywhere, even in some of the nicest hotels (admittedly in the lower tier room types), and sometimes you can't even see if you're going to get one based on the hotel pictures when booking them. Not a fan but I put up with them, though I carefully note...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    To be fair, that's an offering on a 1h10m blocked flight. Provided the pie actually had real chunks of meat in it, that's a decent meal for the actual inflight time (the question mark in @Austman's post doesn't sound great, though)

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Now you have to ask yourself how can they get this mushroom cream sauce fairly right and another one very wrong? ...and, we have a salad dressing!

    InterContinental Brisbane opening June 2025

    The hotel website couldn't be any more generic and non-committal in terms of information and pictures. I get that it will be updated in due course, but I thought it's just fascinating given that bookings are open and technically one has no idea what they are booking themselves into.

    What cheeses me off

    All perfectly legal (if even unethical), though how you got multiple times a day (cf. I got once per day)... The investigation threat is empty... all parties can do this unless the law changes. Thank goodness all of them don't do this otherwise one might expect something like 5-20 texts per...

    Qantas Business Class meals & menus

    Looks just like a linguine (or whatever passes as linguine these days) with a mushroom cream sauce and melted cheese - a notionally delicious dish that I've cooked many times - except this one has been severely overheated (if it were cooked in a home on the ground, someone left this too long in...

    InterContinental Brisbane opening June 2025

    That's not a surprising price as if the property was still the existing Hilton. Better hope they (IC) actually renovate the joint...

    How would customs know someone has TRS-claimed good(s) on them?

    Some of this discussion on Customs and onus to prove (which is parallel to the original topic) seems very slippery slope. I would fathom that most of us would easily carry around $900 or over of goods in clothing, belongings, luggage and electronics every single time we leave and reenter...

    Locking the J toilet door

    I see that the thread has been reopened, so here's an interesting tidbit related to this thread's topic and the more general, parallel issue at hand: I believe Ryan may be a member on here as well; no idea, just guessing. You may want to speed up play to 1.25x or faster. tl;dr - Y passenger...

    Virgin Australia to Reconfigure 737 Fleet - Spend $110M

    Don't know if I've ever seen many crew actually be vigilant about pax watching the main safety demonstration, e.g. tell them to stop using their mobiles, take headphones/earphones out, actually watch the screen or the crew, etc.. Of course there's the usual PA asking people to do so; probably to...

    I joined a cooking course. So far, I've successfully made wraps, burritos and sushi. I'm on a roll.

    Spice bar at Melbourne Qantas Domestic Business Lounge

    That is a shame. When you see that kind of menu item, you imagine bone or meat stock broths boiled for hours, and a generous pour in the bowl. The picture looks like it's just beef stock from a carton or even packet. There's no chance that stock can adequately give that beef some depth. I love...
