I packed up and walked to the other side of lounge. should i have chastised the parents. Created a scene? WTF I could not believe it!

If you were on a QF flight you should have gone to the EK lounge. Fewer chavs/bogans* etc.

*Not that there is anything wrong with chavs/bogans..I'm one myself.:p

Party Horn, Blow tickler- mmmm all I have to say is "ooh err missus".
 
And in Are You Being Served, episode "Oh What a Tangled Web" there is gossip about Captain Peacock's womanising and that when he took Rumbold's secretary into the broom cupboard during the Christmas party, he caught his Blow Tickler in the door. :shock:
