    I agree.  Although my airline lounge experience is minimal (only 8 lounges visited to date), my own conclusion was that LHR T3 has some of the best.  The only better lounge experience I had was at Sydney; and that was partly because I wasn't even aware of airport lounges before that trip.
    I spent my time at Cathay Business Class.  The showers and shower amenities alone were a memorable experience!  I'm not much of a noodle fan so my plan was to use the showers at Cathay then hop on over to Quantas for their food and drink.  But I stayed at Cathay Business the entire time because Quantas was at capacity the day I was at LHR.
      Were you on a BA flight with the 'new' Club Suite?
    Yes, I was.  As a big and tall guy myself, I was amazed at how small I made the enclosed suite look in a picture!  Like jam on an English Muffin, I filled every nook and cranny 😂.  WestJet had a similar seat product on my return trip, but without the door I believe, and I found it just as comfortable if not more so.  The door really doesn't matter to me now that I've experienced it.
    I've always had fantastic flight crew flying Business or First Class.  What set British Airways above the rest, for me, was the food and drink selection and quality compared to other airlines.  And, it was the first time I ever ate a full English Breakfast, which was delightful 🙂
    For comparison, I've only flown long haul business class on British Airways, WestJet, and Hawaiian Airlines.  This autumn I fly Air Canada business class for the first time.

    I flew British Airways (BA) business class (Club World) for the first time last year on my first flight to Europe.  I was impressed with everything BA had to offer.  However, it was queer that London Heathrow (LHR) required passengers to go through security again to fly on to destinations within Europe; and, I found the boarding areas strange as well.  Passengers were processed by boarding group into a waiting lounge, then were all let onto the jetway at once when the plane arrived.  But the quality and diversity of business class lounges for intercontinental passengers impressed me enough to compensate for the oddities of LHR.

    The second round of security is an EU, post Brexit thing. It’s become a lot more efficient. But still . . .

    There's a place for that as well.  This is something new and different.  
    As for Forbidden Broadway, it's coming back, this time to Broadway.  Expect a revolving door of theater stars guesting in the show on a nightly basis.

    And this, in a nutshell, is what separates the wheat from the chaff in the frequent flier world:  People either know enough to be proactive, get themselves protected and sit patiently, or they go fully batshit crazy, letting their anger get the best of them and making all sorts of wacky comments.
    I'd love to see most of them never do business with QF again.  Doubt they could make that happen.
    You're a trooper Mike 👍
    I tip my hat to you knowing full-well that you almost universally have long haul flights if you want to get anywhere.  When the shit hits your fan, it's a gigantic dump and a very powerful fan.

    It was the very best of what a jukebox musical does.  
    And the '80s pastiche of it all was great.
    I liked that they didn't 'broadway' up the music too much.  They kept Huey's songs pretty straight forward and the vocal arrangements didn't come across as jazzhands and cheese.

    For anyone reading this who's not the op, get the HPV vax.  Avoid these issues.
    OP: A ton of info about HPV is available online.  Read up on this yourself.  It's not difficult.
    Take responsibility for your health and protect others when you're dealing with an outbreak.

        Middle Village Bagels claims the throne as best bagel spot in Queens
     
    Looking for the best bagel spot in Queens? Look no further. Middle Village Bagels, located at 79-16 Eliot Ave., has been crowned the best bagel spot in Queens.
    The Queens Chamber of Commerce named Middle Village Bagels the best spot for bagels in the borough on Feb. 9, after reviewing 55 nominations and tallying over 3,000 votes over several weeks.

    Bagel from Utopia (Queens, NY).
    Fresh lox or nova.
    Toast bagel.  Add schmear.  Add salmon.  Add capers.  Add fresh red onion.  Donezo.
    This is about as complicated as my cooking skill gets.
    However, I make a fantastic reservation.
