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...

Another not really WCMO but just very annoying. Currently in transit overnight airside for a flight leaving 0745 next day. Lounge only accepts entry for flights departing same day. Even the 24 hr lounge is the same. Midnight is 2.5 hr away. And here is was thinking being smart not getting...

WCMO is the curse of the catch-22 of the unprotected connection. You need to build in enough time to comfortably make a connection, but when all goes right, you often waste time, because the next flight doesn't open for check-in until T-3 hours. OK, cheese is probably a bit too strong here...

There was something in my eggs with some sort of fine coarse texture. Thinking back again, not mentioned but I believe there was some cheese in the scramble. It might be that (fine bits of cheese).

VA916 BNE-SYD dep 0705 a/c 738 Christmas day flying. Choice of two dishes for breakfast this morning. I went for the scrambled eggs with potatoes, Boston baked beans and sausage. The alternative was a pancake stack (appeared to be 2 pancakes) with berry compote and marscapone cream. Breakfast...

Qatar transfer has finally gone through; miles have appeared.

Paraphrasing a rather interesting insight just given to me by ChatGPT: "Technological advantage can only amplify good strategy; it doesn't replace it."

When I watched this, I thought of @JohnK in the WCMO thread, as he was the genesis of the topic discussed here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15T4X2aAJwL/

If they drive off with your luggage, you've just been robbed. I guess if you are inside you could be driven to some other place and then confronted and robbed. Because apparently touts are entitled to live.

Still got nothing in my Qatar account. 8-10 weeks. How comforting. What kind of amateur system are they peddling here (both on the Amex side as well as the QR side). On another note, I was wanting to cancel my Amex card given my anniversary is coming up in January. Looks like I may be doomed...

Your voucher now has  centimental value 😁

In SIN, I thought the duty free shop holds your purchases and has them directly delivered to the gate in secure bags. I think it's usually given to you after you are boarded, so you can carry it on. They may not do this any more. In any case, I don't think the agents that are screening for...
