Hi Anna,

I find it interesting that when I look at some of your posts about something going wrong at Qantas, a large Virgin Blue advertisement appears above!

I wonder if this is purely coincidence?

"Until then, all services will operate as normal."

Hmmm. With the increasing number of delays seemingly associated with engineering requirements, methinks they aren't currently operating as normal!

 

[Anna]

Not my doing, I promise. It's better than when I appear to be advertising Chinese mail order brides though. I find that one a bit offensive!

I know - those adds are bizarre as they attach to the individual reply!

Ads? What ads?

I always wondered about that ad, and thought that perhaps whatever targetting methodology was employed for which sites to put the advert on had gone a little astray

Hmm....I thought they were targetting only me with those ads

Shouldn't someone have mentioned the "bloody unions" by now?

Either that or Straitman, Serfty and NM are the same people... come to think of it I've never seen them in the same room together...

Well two out of three ain't bad! I know of several occasions where 2 out of 3 of us (ooop, me) have been in the same room, but can categorically say that to the best of our collective knowledge (yeah, shut up in the peanut gallery) we have not concurrently graced the same room.

Neither have I :!:

 

[simongr]

Mind you I have never seen any AFFers in the same room ....

Nor have I ...

... we have not concurrently graced the same room.

In any case, should such a thing happen, Grace would not be the appropriate word ...

I was overseas and do not bother reading news while on holidays, only sports results. Did the proposed industrial action happen and how serious were the effects?
