Terrible pun by Ms Crabb. [MEDIA=twitter]1237161396904722432[/MEDIA] In summary Qantas is cutting international services by about 25% from April to September because of reduced forward demand. All services by A380s except SYD_LAX will be operated by smaller aircraft, BNE and MEL-SFO flights will be suspended and SYD-SFO will be operated by the larger B747 rather than B787. Some Singapore services will go from two to one daily flights but will be operated by larger aircraft. Eight of the A380s will be parked, two more will have heavy maintenance and cabin upgrades, leaving two operating. The airline will bring forward maintenance to put the period of reduced operations to good use.

In other news, on 8 March The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy turned 42. That is all.

19 November. (And I know you only asked the question as a cue for a joke, but that was a great post.)

You are such a sweet man. Maybe I'll be back in NYC some day.

I think @Epigonos lives in Orange County or the LA basin. But either way, Aeromexico may be the way to go if United stops flights to Puerto Vallarta.

If they do, go to Tijuana and take a flight on Aeromexico. They won't cancel [probably] and likely cheaper.

Today, 8 Mar 20, the Women's T20 Cricket World Cup final was held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia played India before a crowd of over 86,000 people. The Indian captain's mother and father, who had never seen their daughter play in a professional game, were in at the stadium. It failed to overtake the 1999 USA-China women's FIFA world cup final crowd of over 90,000 at the Rosebowl as the largest ever crowd at a women's event, but was a massive event for women's sport. The signature performer before and after the game was Katy Perry. For the record, Australia won.

Wait! You're not? Well, so much for that idea, I'll just stay in whatever lounge I can get into.

My post looked like that, and that was not what I intended, so I edited it. I was just surprised. I'm a bottom, and two bottoms can have a lot of fun without penetration. If an escort is a bottom I wouldn't rule out hiring them but I would be disinclined to suggest that they change what they do to suit me.

I totally failed to read what the speaker was representing. Once that penny drops this is incredibly clever. Apparently it's from 2007 or 2008. [MEDIA=twitter]1236290359489114114[/MEDIA]

You surprise me, Victor. Clearly you can do whatever you want, but I didn't expect that. You're always a stud to me.

I'm not into cruises, although I have done an Antarctica one and am open to being convinced. More to the point, I booked flights through DFW and haven't factored in a meeting with @Benjamin_Nicholas. I guess I have to live with my choices.

Tap water, or boiled tap water isn't the same as distilled water, but that's not really the question. The real question is what do you need from the water. If mineral purity is the issue then distilled water may be what is needed, if what is needed is biologically safe water then boiling it may be enough.

I've started watching a young escort here who claims to be straight and offers 'things that your partner won't do'. He specifically talks about seduction of a top into being a bottom and similar scenes. I must say I'm tempted.

Indeed, feigning COVID-19 might not be the smartest idea. All moot points now.

Could do that even if I had checked baggage as you have to collect it to clear customs and then drop it off on a conveyor belt after clearing. I suspect they wouldn't believe the illness story and would cancel the return ticket.

I wasn't sure, thanks for clarifying. I just couldn't resist the temptation to assume you knew the answer and were asking for 'comic effect'.

A belated but heartfelt happy birthday, Tyler.

A COVID-19 101 discussion from the Radio National Drive program this afternoon, with a professor of virology at the University of Queensland. https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/drive/covid-19:-myth-busted-and-fact-checked/12030674

*Troll alert* LOL.

Most of Australia is 100km/h (62mph) or 110 (68). The Northern Territory has an open highway limit of 130km/h (just under 81mph) but used to have no speed limit. New South Wales, where I live, has 110km/h on divided highways and all highways in the west of the state, and 100km/h on other roads.

Amazing little critter! [MEDIA=twitter]1234831418397790209[/MEDIA]

My understanding is that 'burner phone' now refers to services like Google Voice that are actual phone numbers and to all intents and purposes behave like one. But they lack some functions, like some types of text or accepting foreign phone calls. I don't know how they work, but assume it is VOIP or something similar. A 'normal' phone that uses one of the standard telcos but which you only use for certain specific purposes, or for a single project before discarding, may have been called a burner phone in the past but the definition has moved on from that.

He lives in Brisbane, so delts for dollars would have worked. (He was born in Australia but grew up in Tonga.)
