I accessed the QR lounge as a QF WP flying MH J (I assume it is the MH J that got me in, not the QF WP). Still there outside the D gates. It was my first time; a very nice lounge indeed (didn't try the shower).

I'm still surprised Qantas wasn't sued and fined into oblivion for this and its other major sins in the last five years. Had it been any other company, there wouldn't even be a Royal Commission or a Senate inquiry - the company would close and the bosses would all be in prison. Just goes to...

Are you condoning these idiots, or did you raise one of them?

Oh where do we start this morning...... Once you step off an escalator, move away from the escalator. Unless you want to be shoved down and trampled upon. Don't look annoyed at me for pushing you. This is not the time to take a selfie for update your live viewers. Paying for priority check-in...

Nope, boneless. Spare rib, bone extracted, floured then fried before coating in sauce.

Saw this on the wall behind the cash desk

So I'm in SIN right now but only for the day. It's not likely I'll be back before they close, so here's my tribute meal. The place looks a lot like what we in Australia would know as the neighbourhood Chinese restaurant. It's kept the same decor for ages, and it may not be glamorous, but it's...

Guess you'll just have to call. You'll have to do so and cop it anyway if it does happen, unless you're prepared to cancel and look elsewhere, because you're certainly not leaving your little bub behind 🙂

Well, not longhaul ones anyway, especially on the most popular routes and in premium classes. As the advice has always been - SQ get the lion's (pun intended) share of its best award seats, and even then they are virtually shrinking now thanks to Access awards. Getting any longhaul premium SQ...

This looks like tariffs, except in airline parlance. Hey, you want to fly the best J in the world on points? Lucky for you at Velocity you have access to some of the best (inventory wise). You'll have to pay for it for sure, but you want it anyway, right? I guess this supercharging is...

WCMO.... In Thailand at the moment and queueing seems to be a bit of a furphy. Say there are two counters selling tickets for an attraction. There's no tapes or ropes to create one queue per counter; in fact, there's no tapes or ropes at all. There is a line at the "first" counter (or rather...

I don't see BBQ pork ribs on the menu. I do see pork spare ribs, but it doesn't necessarily say they are BBQ'd, and I'm fair (fare?) gaming that they won't be, e.g. they may just be braised; the Chinese text doesn't suggest BBQ action unlike the BBQ pork also on the menu, which is the staple cha...

I only heard of this place now. So shoot me, but I am passing through Singapore in a couple of days, so maybe time to have a first and final call.

WCMO is people who remove a lid for a container or retract a sliding screen for a container that contains items that are frozen or need to be kept very cold (ice is the main item here)... ...they take some items and don't replace the lid or close the container. Like, in which household did you...

Travelling between SAI and KTI via plane. Umpteen times more expensive than a bus, and that's just the airfare itself, without adding in transfers to and from the respective airports, then factor in all the time. There are no lounges and you get shunted into the butt end of both airports (since...

AI generation errors are going to be the new "but I ran it through spell / grammar check". In both cases, they should not be excuses and fully eligible for dismissal / write up if the perpetrators double down.

The pre-ChatGPT ones were just passing, i.e. they weren't exactly 7 GPAs, despite needing to mentally break their backsides to get into the programme in the first place. No one ever felt bad about it.

Following as a Gold for now. I should be good but it is the day after I return from overseas and first day back at work (school).

OK a real WCMO... Quiet rooms or rest areas, particularly darkened ones. They're called  quiet spaces for a reason. Now, I get it...when you're getting set up inside, you inadvertently make noise (particularly when the floor isn't carpeted). But if you're using the space like your own bedroom...
