In between prepping for our drive to MEL for Christmas, went to the National Museum to check out the Kimberly Wilderness. It a VR trip through various locations in the, you guessed it, Kimberly's. If you're in CBR, highly recommend. The VR headsets and concept are amazing...

Cloud seeding the contrails

On top of Mrs Nut rightfully calling me a flog, the best WP recognition happened a couple of years ago. I was left stranded in the AKL QF cupboard (RIP) after my flight to BNE was delayed three hours. Take off eventually occured and the Pursuer later introduced himself apologising for the late...

Visage did a great version of this song...

A couple of years ago, a QF flight from SYD to DFW we were on ran out of meals in J! Two work mates down the back had a choice of tuna mornay or they could make something up for them. WTF, we're in J they politely enquired? Turned out well in the end. The crew said a couple of pax up the front...

Are the Sri Lankans ready for the mass influx of bogans?

Today's office, a spot of Christmas shopping this arvo at Capital Brewing for a Brodburger and a pint of XPA. Grabbed a couple of crafties for our son in MEL for Christmas. They'll go with a couple beers from Cypher Brewing and Bentspoke - Canberra theme happening. I like this Christmas tree....

Interesting interpretation. Thought the pie was suppose to be sitting up side down on a bed of blue peas? Anyway, did it taste good?

I'm happy anywhere so long as it's not in front of my dual monitor work screens! A walk along Mission Beach QLD, a beer at the Jovial Judge Whangarei, fish and chips in Batemans Bay, wondering around Chiang Mai, anywhere really.

I'm getting a tad antsy with this thread.

In NAN, on the way home to CBR, Fiji Air staff did a pre-flight bag check after we scanned our boarding passes and just before boarding. They took my full 250 ml standard airline water bottle that I filled in the lounge! We did have a chuckle to ourselves.

Saturday afternoon for the Nut's, the PM's XI at Manuka Oval. Not a big crowd but turned out to be a pleasant afternoon, if a little breezy at the cricket followed by dinner at the Kingston Hotel.

On greetings, when I was a WP Mrs Nut and I were boarding a domestic flight, think it was CBR. Mrs Nut was in front, flashed up her boarding pass and got the usual disinterested row something, on the left, whatevs. I flashed up mine and the hostie came alive "Welcome back Mr Nut, great to have...

That's funny AF!

We flew CBR-NAN earlier this year when I was SG. So, couple of things: we had acres to the J lounge as we flew on a Sunday, sweet! The CBR international departure lounge is fine. The bar's ok, over priced as usual though Mrs Nut said the Chardy wasn't that good. Is there any special treatment...

Mmm...looks familiar....

Got the expo in March next year locked in!

Just over a year ago, Qantas MEL F lounge view over a morning coffee. ....waiting for breakfast.

Back in the late 90's was flying from Mt Isa to Townsville on an F28 when the pilot made an announcement that I didn't quite hear as I was down the back near the engines. The hostile came around about 5 mins later and asked if I was going to Townsville or Cairns. I said Townsville, she said...

Very much so. A pizza slice sounds good at 35,000 feet but did they test how it would look (and taste) after leaving the catering line, sitting in a warmer for a couple of hours before being served?
