Chairman's Lounge - what's that all about then?

[Dave Noble]

You know, this thread probably should have been started over here, but I won't tell the moderators if you don't.

P.S. I think we have a few too many forum sections now.

Ahh... but doesn't that depend on whether the question was about the Chairman's Lounge membership or about the Chairman's Lounges

I have not seen this as being a problem on AFF. Have I miss something? Or should I use the search function to find posts about using the search function?

Please use the search function

It has happened on a number of occassions. And some new members do take offence.

Excellent value though . Leave one post and take a fence

You people have got it all wrong about the CL - well sort of.

Entry is indeed by invitation only, but not just any old nice letterhead paper invitation. Its a nod, a wink and a handshake (not in that particular order).

Add once you get in, the first thing you notice is the false wall just by the door and the wallpaper stuck on the inside of the glass windows. Sure from the outside of the door or the windows it looks like a posh version of the QC, but in reality once you nod, wink and shake hands (not in that order), you enter a land of chocolate seating, soda pop fountains, and ice cream light fixtures. There are pinball machines in the corners and a pool table made of genuine licorice. Smart, marture gentlemen may discreetly enter the doorways, but once they're in the CL, its "ner ner ner I'm the king of the castle".

Qantas is in fact taking legal action against Cadbury for the advertisement jingle "wouldn't it be nice if the world was cadbury", their argument is that that world already does exist, by the Chairmans lounge brand. Its a hush hush court proceedings, thats why you wount see any media news about it.

Rumour has it though, that the big boys aren't very happy about the number of kids int he sandpit, first being Platinum was seen as the ultimate, now its oh-so blase, the QC club? - may as well be your local supermarket. Even the carpet at the entrance to the CL these days is getting worn out a bit, too many people stopping by nodding, winking and shaking hands (not in that order).

If you keep your eyes open, shortly there'll be an even more exclusive option for the Qantas patron. Tucked into the false ceiling, will be an entry hatch into the Quanker Wantas Crib Room.

But what do you plan to do with your newly stolen fence post?

Hi Steven.

The phrase "please use the search function, it's been discussed before" is one of my pet hates. It happens on the US-based Flyertalk forum on a regular basis and I don't want to see it happen here. I mentioned this recently to one of the moderators. If I see it happen, I will complain to the forum's owner as it only serves to piss off new members for the sake of neatness. In my mind, there is simply no point.

Please do hang in here with us. We need new members. Don't be afraid to post. I talk a lot here and I'm no expert.

Thanks Yada Yada, do not worry I am not going anywhere as I have already found information on here that is so valuable to me.

I did not expect my comments to come to all this!! However, it is sometimes very scarey to make comments in case someone downs your throat in relation to it being discussed before. In most cases it has been discussed before, but just not the specific information you are requesting.

Anyway, thanks to everyone on here I consider myself more aware of things that can be done better to maximise my bang for my buck. I certainly will be posting questions or comments when I wish, it is up to the individual of they want to respond or to blast!!!!!!!

Yes, have to agree, there are a couple of ff expert regulars on here whose posts come across very.... abrupt.

- I don't mind because the value of their knowledge far outweighs the delivery style!
