The marketing department has re-written history, as there’s more profit when you need neither instruments nor to pay talented artists!!!

If it were me I’d just assume no problems & go. Srsly you could do as much damage to someone with a balsa spork or an angrily wielded iPhone …

Do you know if it was Australian Airlines or Ansett? If Australian Airlines, mebbe it’s worth checking the details for the Qantas museum at Sydney airport & see if they have anything of interest?

Debbie Harry & Chris Stein? They invented rap & then discarded it as inadequate, like Sony did with VHS.

^ There’s also the fact that when flying QF or SG you’re not giving money to an awful regime like your are when flying QR or EK. I’m full guilty of doing it, have done it before & will do it again ‘cos I’m selfish, but you’re still aware that each Etihad ticket you buy costs a little piece of...

From the point-of-view of someone living in the country where Qantas is the flag-carrying airline, the degradation of Qantas from the customer POV over the last couple of decades is a lot more visible than … I dunno, St Petersburg Airways. :) Changes in the stuff you’ve got regular contact with...

If you buy anything from anywhere or via any means that offers “points” when you buy stuff, and you don’t take-up that offer, then you’re effectively paying extra to fund the “points” they give to someone else. So you either swallow that fact & accept it‘s a cost of living life, you get...

I guess it’s better than the real tagline based on the place’s relevance to the world … “We’ve got a canal & hats!”.

Here’s one I’ve not seen before … trying to get rid of a bed & matching tables we don’t need, so place ad on Gumtree. Bots send me a message asking about condition of the bed … first one I responded with actual info, it then responded with something about getting a $100 bed sent to Tumut via...

I can use Singapore as an example though. One of my mates is bothered by the overwhelming sense of being monitored for potential illegality in Singapore. It doesn't bother me so much, although I must admit having avoided taking a short-cut across some grass in a public place because nobody else...

I believe there’s a current class-action one can partake in, should they eat food in India and not be subjected to 3 days of uncontrollable diarrhea. It’s totally against expectation & what you paid for!

Yeah that high-profile old couple wouldn’t have known who they’d ousted, possibly not even that they’d ousted someone. The machete is a much more useful tool onboard than the cold stare. You know, the airline-branded onboard machete that is designed to deal with the people from the Feet On The...

I recall my parents going to the UK when my baby sister was living in London in 2001, paying the extra $200 (~10%) to fly Premium Economy on BA. That was before a bunch of companies told their employees “no J!”, which pumped up the price of Premium Economy to the point where we got a discounted...

I think a lot of people (for example: me) don’t really understand this. Until I married my wife I didn’t really understand how some people are very much affected by having regular food intake; I get hungry, like really hungry, but I don’t feel ill if I have to wait for a meal, it’s about...

I know how good it feels to be correct, so I know how good you must feel!! :) I guess some airlines give you J lounge access, in an airline’s home-port that prolly means showers & that’s got value. Priority boarding means little when you’re sharing carry-on space with many fewer people … maybe...

Premium Economy really doesn't get you much more than a bit more space except in rare circumstances, I mean sometimes you might be fed food-court slop in a slightly nicer looking container but it's still food-court slop ... and it's the bit more pitch that allows more recline (the current seats...

It would water-down the appeal for F & high-status customers, but I reckon there'd be a few J passengers who'd be happy to pay a reasonable amount extra for F lounge access. Take-up of that option would depend on departure location though, eg. pointless paying for it if leaving from an airport...

You might try to clean someone up in-flight!

Well you’re not going to get broccoli when you’re not drunk are you?!

I own a Bentley as much as I own a Faberge egg or a suit that was hand-made by the most highly-regarded tailor in Florence ... however as something to use as a point of comparison, the quality of all three are well known & hence the comparison is understood by the vast majority of people (who’re...
