    Parking cars - drive in or reverse in?

    WCHO AGAIN today some stupid person backing into a tight car park at small suburban shopping centre and holding up all the traffic. DRIVE in to small spaces and back out of small space into much larger road space. It's simple, quicker and more considerate of other drivers.

    Obviously two out of three ain’t bad for BA priority luggage

    Ah. Good old BA LHR-MAD. Flight full, harassed passengers put hand luggage in hold. Obviously took up too much weight so offloaded priority luggage and left it behind. Well, for BA I guess two out of three ain’t bad. They keep making a habit of this however. Not good.

    Watched Threads Email Notifications

    What happened overnight? The email alerts used to contain the text of the post. Now they are all just blank? I made no change so what happened on AFF? Is this another CDN problem? Do you need to upgrade the CDN cache frequency?

    AMEX and DCC

    From what I read, AMEX have forbidden the charging of DCC when one pays in Australian Dollars. So, if I buy an airfare from Amex travel, which is for inter-European travel, and they show me the price in Australian Dollars, does this mean that they will charge the exact A$ price to my (Amex) card...

    Safari on iPad crash when reading AFF

    Recently, Safari on my iPad displays the AFF site then after 20 seconds or so crashes with an error that the page had caused an error and has to be reloaded. It seems like possibly a bad script or one of the annoying adds or javascript/flash/other cough that is also displayed automatically on...
