Wow, if that's really Warnie, he should do himself a favour and take his own advice about shutting up - the spelling makes him come off like a bit of a dumb cough (which he's not) and the complaints about first class and the captain's schpiel seem so petty and ridiculous as to be contrived.

You lost me with the bit about warnie not being a dumb cough. Clearly he is based on his twit....

 

[Ikara]

So............if I'm reading this correctly, he's watching the tennis on TV and twittering on his phone while he's in the air????

sorry, but Warnie is a dumb cough off the cricket field.. I've seen it first hand.

Haven't seen it myself, but yeah it's very believable.

Does someone want to send him a link to the Virgin Atlantic site? They fly direct from London to Las Vegas.

There's no F cabin of course, but I'm sure the FA's will be more to his liking...

I've seen the opposite - he's a bit of an cough, sure, but IME can switch the dumb off. Anyway, you're right, the twits do nothing to dispel that.

On the cricket field he is a genius. No doubt about it.

Off the field, dumb as. And i wasn't referring to any of his antics. He's a great guy, but not very smart in a lot of ways off the field.

Does BA have Live2Air and Internet available in the air? He doesn’t necessarily have to be on his phone, he could be using a laptop.

Seems a bit like DYKWIA, but then if anyone here had paid for F and the aircon wasn’t working, I’m sure an apology from the captain wouldn’t suffice. You’d want compensation.

Does sound like he was already in an irritable mood though, perhaps a few too many champagnes in the Flounge.

The BA LHR-SNN-JFK J only flight has Internet available, AFAIK, no other BA flight does.

And no L2Air type services, although perhaps they have updated news feeds provided to the aircraft through IFE.

With all the 888 poker references there, looks like there's some promotional consideration involved.

Guess BA didn't stump up.

Perhaps "AFF The Musical", and we can all me stars

O/T: This is an example of extreme DYKWIA, and in his case should be DYKWI used to be.

He has been an idiot for years and this story does not interest me.

I really don't get this story - he just seems to be on board and angry from the first moment.

I assume he was watching TV on his 3 mobile perhaps...

But it has interested News.This story has appeared on the website today.
But sounds like he was in a mood on boarding and nothing was going to be right anyway.
Big deal.

 

[simongr]

I dont understand the complaints about layout - it is exactly the same as QF on the 744 and similar to old F on CX.
