Quite so.

March 1973, Sydney to SFO, in an early QF 747, probably a 100, on a delayed honeymoon. Of course in those days you had to stop twice on the way, at Nadi and Honolulu, to get to San Francisco. Fiji in the middle of the night, where all you could do was buy souvenirs, while the aircraft...

What gross stupidity. Trousers may well fall down; or old Yanks' socks or stockings. Mind you Beano, even in Australia, foolishness and fools prevail, unfortunately.

I have been closely reading the fine print since 1973, James, and have always known precisely what I thought I was purchasing, yet I I have had little result in three claims - the most serious very recently when I have been totally ignored, when I had the temerity to submit a claim because of...

You're = you are. I don't understand your sentence.

I think there'd be one or two between Brisbane and Cooktown or Karumba, or even between Broken Hill and Sydney; I lived as a child at Molong, and there wer magnificent silos, as that part of NSW had a lot of sheep, but also a great deal of wheat. It is all indifferent over-priced wine now...

From what one can gather, the OP ought 6 bottles of Pommery NV from Dan Murphy’s for $!35, but they would cost the rest of us $318 plus a bit of change? Well done, I suppose, but words fail at the fact that you mentioned it.

BN-CS ( not BNE - CNS) sounds reasonable, and it will be pleasant not to have put with southern swagger and accents.

Tossing up between Coolangatta and Sanctuary Cove for a couple of weeks, followed by a fortnight at Caloundra and a week or so at Noosa.

As did I, long before TransferWise. It was extremely easy opening an account with HSBC UK. As regards transfers to this account, I use OFX, previosly known as OzForex. Small fees or none and excellent rates. Personally I'd rather have a real bank account, - as I do - , but would not use HSBC...

Do you expect the aircraft to turn around on the runway, if the wind requires it, or re-enter it in order to backtrack when traffic permits, pop back to NSW, disgorge pax on to a set of temporary stairs while holding all other aircraft up as the NSW pax get their luggage, then spend some more...

Can't remember which terminal, but there was no window, and no sleep, but it was far better than spendiing six or so hours in a concourse, and much better than turning your eyes into red-rimmed saucers in a QF club.

None that I have discovered, and I've stayed in them twice. I believe that that is the idea; no light, no noise, good sleep. Mind you, I don't believe that your room was airless.

Unquestionably the Riverview Hotel, now a Fourpoints By Marriott, right beside the Singapore River, with a great view of the river, and a ferry to the bay. I first stayed there in 1992, when it was brand-new, and 25 years later with my daughter. It was still a great spot, perhaps not good enough...

As Professor Murphy, Australia's Chief Medical Officer, has stated ad nauseam, a mask (unless it's N95) is unlikely to be any protection at all for an uninfected person, only for the prevention of an infected person spreading the disease to those uninfected. In other words, if you haven't got it...

Whereas if your renewal date is 31 January, you miss by that much, as Maxwell used to say. 1 February , a day later. and you've got the lot.

Perhaps it involves the undeniable fact that they are coming from nearby NZ, and that NZ has almost as successful a record as Australia in this struggle. Are you aware how bad the UK's performance has been? So, importing twenty or thirty infection-free NZers, who come from a low-infection...

You are an extremely disappointing person, muppet, Your entire persona seem to be to involve being nasty to others, and you have succeeded in that, although nothing else, so I shall opt out. Nunga nunga, you poor petal.

But we did both re- qualify, according to the rules which appliied at the time; I have no argument with that all. I was simply pointing out that there is a flaw there, because of QFF's system. I am not complaining, quite the opposite, merely pointing out the fact that my son and I had both...
