Not all Australians are able to do that, mate; we are not all treated equally. I am pleased that you are treated above the norm, but remember, most of us are not.

Hear hear, I have flown four J flights on various SQ aircraft, all four in their ridiculous cramped foot- wells,. Never again, so let's hope CX survives this current crisis.

I've never drunk dishwater, Major, as you apparently have, but my Scottish, English and Irish ancestors have been in Australia since 1838, They all drank tea, as do I. They also probably occasionally drank coffee too, as a special treat, as I did, in the 1950s and 1960s, sport, made on milk...

Are you unable to take a joke, Major?

I've kept my CBA Diamond, previously Platinum (Diamond grandfathered at $250 p,a. because I've had it so long, in the hope that they'd do something since they dropped Amex a couple of years hence). Their Travel insurance is second to none and is trustworthy. Points earned though have been...

This is dreadful. We're Australian; for goodness' sake we have just had Australia Day. We drink tea with our Iced Vo-Vos and we play cricket, not baseball. As Hawkie would say, more or less, anyone who doesn't drink tea is a silly person.

"Fraid not. In the late 60s Honda had the S600 and the S800 in Australia. They were high-revving screaming motorbike engines really, and nowhere near as pretty as the MGB, which remains my favourite car. BMC had a strike at Zetland in 1967, so I was unable to buy a B, so I bought my first Cooper S.

Thanks for taking an interest, Happy Dude. It was the top of the range Monaro, March '69, bur didn't even have a radio, and air con for cars was extremely rare and not even available as an option. Fancy red-lined cross-ply tyres, although I wore them out with a couple of laps at Surfers'...

I'm sure you know a fair bit about him, rob, including why Sydney Airport had the hide to name its current airport after a Queenslander instead of naming it after a NSW luminary. There must have been a few, after all, even though I can't think of them.

I'm more of a bloke than a guy, being Australian. Having owned two 1966 Coopers Ss and a 1966 MGB plus a 1969 Monaro GTS 327, from new, I am not a fan of Japanese sports cars, although I was tempted by the Honda S800.

Hawaiian apparently doesn't think so, robtemt, as they have run a direct flight from Brisbane to Honolulu for several years, which the Queensland ANTAS has not done for its home state. Do you know anything about Charles Kingsford-Smith, by the way?

Did he or she say he or indicate Perth? Good grief.

Is that an indication that iPad is better than Android, in your humble opinion, poster? Otherwise, why mention a brand-name?

So in your opinion torn clothing is as good as anything else? Every child wins a prize.

Fascinating. Now why has no one heard of her. I am in the opposite camp from Kyle, though: I won't consider flying Qantas if they get rid of their dress code.

Well said.

Why on earth are you complaining, Madam?

Even Coles and Woolworths get this right. It is not a style manual, but correct grammar

Correct.
