And heaven help you if you didn't use fancy note paper, or better, a card.

On a complete tangent, amusingly, when the Australian Signals Directorate, our equivalent of the NSA opened a Twitter account, its first tweet was, 'Long time listener, first time caller'.

Or perhaps 'Greek Peek' for you!

You are the person he goes to to pour out his fears and seek some comfort and reassurance. It's not his brother he needs to or should seek that from, that has to be a rational discussion of the dangers and advisability of the choice. You gave him the emotional outlet to enable him to have that rational discussion with his twin brother. BZ.

After that bombshell was dropped (#261) I had to consider my plans seriously, but after much soul-searching I've booked, a week at Inndulge (15-22/4), flying in via SFO and out via DFW (so one seriously long A380 sector, @nycman). I'm looking forward to renewing old acquaintances and making new ones. Unfortunately other things prevent me from continuing to NYC this trip. I plan to attend all three events that Oliver lists in his announcement post in the other thread.

I should add that here, mortgages are variable, not fixed rate and full recourse, so we can't walk away from a property.

I have always paid them off before the end-date, but I still have a mortgage to enable a line of credit with my bank. (Not sure I need that now.) I am only disappointed that there were no graphs to explain the payment process. (That was a joke.)

Since you have travel and accommodation that can be cancelled at no cost, I wouldn't stress too much now. Travel was still happening yesterday from China to South Korea (the ABC correspondent, ours not yours, did it then), and if that hasn't stopped your arrangements are far less risky. What you might want to research is travel that doesn't involve both Korea and Japan so you only have to worry about one country. So, if Delta has US to Tokyo flights rather than via Seoul, think of changing that. Ultimately, take wide advice, not just us in here. Edited: I was seriously looking at Cathay and JAL to travel for Palm Springs and would still be but for a Qantas deal for bonus elite credit for flights booked now.

This video warrants its place in here, but I had to post it for Cathy Wilcox' caption. [MEDIA=twitter]1231532343002726401[/MEDIA]

Damn it, now I'll have to go to New York.

For the most part they are out or under control, helped by the heaviest rain in 30 years in some places. Many of the burnt areas on the 'Fires Near Me' map maintained by the rural fire service web site have been removed, the south-east corner of NSW is the exception. The remaining fires are at 'Advice', the lowest of three fire alert levels. (The other two are Watch and Act, and Emergency.) https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/fire-information/fires-near-me

Big guys tend to know how to manipulate your arse so they can get it in there. Or they should know how.

Ok, I haven't hired him. I have met him though. And. Book him. He is one of the go to guys. But if you aren't sure, ask him to meet up so you can determine if you want to hire. Ace is da man.

'When you see images of your own life, you realise that your life matters.'

I just looked at an ad that I know had comments and they are still there. (I'm not using a Dutch VPN, I'm outside the US so don't need to.)

I can certainly see that and agree it's a risk. For me, it's hypothetical at the moment, I'm not on the point of booking any flights. Then again, CX doesn't fly any A380s.

HND? Haneda airport? I would still consider flying CX and the transit stop that requires in Hong Kong.

Spoiler alert, if you are a Karen, you may want to choose not to read this thread. [MEDIA=twitter]1228550232431976449[/MEDIA] Then again you might laugh your tits off.

I think they're great. It's what operates the QF SYD-LAX flights and the main choice on SYD/MEL to LAX. I missed the chance to fly on an Emirates A380 (QF ticket) from Christchurch to Sydney last month and ended up on an A330 from Auckland. Who else flies them and where? https://simpleflying.com/airbus-a380-routes-guide/ (Qantas no longer flies to Dubai.)

Holee fcuk! Happy I wasn't on board! [MEDIA=twitter]1228716036117221376[/MEDIA] From the comments, the aircraft exited the runway onto a taxiway although it doesn't look that way in the clip.

I'll go traditional on the accompaniment but a bit radical on the bread. But the ham has to be good. So, ciabatta toast didn't work for me but Turkish bread did, and preferable to an English muffin.

Yup, so much so that 'spaghetti bolognese' has been called our national dish. Blatant cultural appropriation, and any resemblance it might have to any Italian cuisine is purely coincidental.
