Still-boss, just ex-owner. I'm assuming I need to include this in my Jul25/Jun26 tax-return form ... if it retains it's appearance of legitness 'til then.

It wouldn't be possible to have a daytime flight from US to Europe would it? Maybe on Concorde or similar, but if my time-difference calcs are correct the 7.5hr (minimum) flight plus the time-difference means you'd have to fly at night for a decent part of it?

Yeah, but that’s because it’s not anything near financially viable … if the Silver Emu happens it’ll be ‘cos it’s a huge costly election stunt.

Got an email allegedly from ex-owner of the company I work for, long-story-short asking for my bank-account details for a bonus transferred from OS. Also not to tell anyone else in the company because only a few are eligible. Which … does anything sound fishier? Sent details of an account which...

Whereas I’d have been asking if there were spares!

You’re pretty intarwebz-savvy for an over-125-year-old!!

Oh, believe me, I intended to book that Deathstar flight … :)

I once booked a CDG to LHR flight for myself & two mates, not noticing that I’d forgotten to adjust the date on that day of our schedule … we’d changed plans, one of said mates was trying to impress one of his sister’s friends so we’d had a 1000km diversion in the rental-car to drop her off at...

Yakuza?!

I suspect the scale of required jolts might bring the grid down …

I didn’t think my musings were worthy of their own thread, so I’ll plonk them (and associated questions) here. My wife & I a’re in the planning stages of getting a house built, so haven’t wanted to go away for extended periods as the builder’s really tardy & we can’t afford the chance of...

Yes I stopped looking for patterns in the alleged sending ‘phone number years ago, it was always spoofed and the number they used was random. I did have one instance, however, where they called a young lady who used her ‘phone for her business & they used my ‘phone number. She missed their...

Dan Murphys having a sale which made it cheaper than airside Hong Kong prices saved my backside from secondary booze stealing. Probably didn’t even visit Dan and buy that Stuff from him! :)

I’ve often wondered about this! Destruction seems so wasteful. I’d like to believe it gets shared equally around the security staff, they’re on a pretty low-level wage and it’d be nice to think they get the occasional perk.

Can I be deported? That’d at least get me on a flight … :) [knowing my luck they’d deport me on one of those disease-ridden plague ships … Princess or Carnival Cruises for example!!]

Maybe it’s also related to which airports (or countries) agreed to do it? And they figure that the 95+% coverage of travelers is enough “security theatre”?

It’s all a coordinated scam by security folk to claim all those 10c amounts back!

I flew a combo Singapore/Lufthansa fare to Frankfurt in 2021 ... because Lufthansa didn't dare venture any further than Changi towards Australia. Those Recaro-manufactured seats on the Lufthansa 747-400 were really comfy, they had no more knee-room than the SG flight (and the LH flight was...

Yes. So people would eat their stuff & leave as quickly as possible, freeing-up space for the next brainwashee for the faux-food sausage-factory.

Got an obvious scam message claiming to be from our exiting CEO looking for bank account details so they can deposit a sizeable bonus due to me being employed with the company for over 15 years. Not to divulge to others, because it’s a sensitive subject. Very much the sort of thing scams say not...
