Nice day for it today. Rain free so far. Lots of blustery showers yesterday

As occurs regularly with good old (un)reliable QF (when I have to fly with them) they have just cancelled my flight from SYD to BNE. The lounge dragons say they know nothing and cannot assist !! There is another flight scheduled 30 minutes after mine so they are clearly consolidating flights and saying the aircraft operating mine is unserviceable. The notification says update available in 20 minutes. we will see.

Update: as expected QF now says my flight is "delayed" and will leave exactly when the following flight departs (with a new flight number) - clearly flights consolidated to suit QF - the spirt of profitability !!

@bPeteb have amended the booking to add two more people. See you there!

Picked up @Ade from the airport and we’re on the train from Albion into Central. Will see you all at dinner

Whoops, forgot to confirm I’m Platinum.

Oh, you should have mentioned you were coming before I called the restaurant earlier to update the numbers!

Hopefully they’ll be able to add one more seat for us tonight. See you there.

If I recall correctly, there was a moderator who forgot to RSVP for the October Brisbane dinner too.

Can’t recall which mod though…

I’m a late scratching. Have a good night!

 

[QPProletarian]

Running a little late, about to uber in.

As usual, a very nice night - thanks for the company, everyone. Pictures to follow.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, meal and company. It was lovely to see you all. Follow on at Central Bar was a fine place to carry on the conversations.

Bon voyage, Matt. Enjoy your time off before returning to full time employment. Even consider just relaxing!
