    @mariner4life ah but see that is the best thing about flying Business.

    Forget priority booking, champagne and hors d'ouvres before you take off, lie flat beds, silver dinner service etc - the best part of Business Class is turning left while all you poor envious schleps in cattle class are herded down the back. 👋 👼 😉

    ah yes Business class, I recall it with such fondness and warmth, and the glaring looks of disdain and pity, yes pity, from all others in business class when the Hostess told me I had a cattle class ticket and I had to go back and sit with my family.

    I've done business class once and first class once. Two of the greatest experiences of my life.

    If I had the money (or a lovely weathy sugar daddy/mummy) I wouldn't set foot in cattle class ever again. Only thing is though, it's right at the front of the plane. So if the plane crash lands, the BC and FC passengers are the first to go. Quandary.

    It does amuse me that the blue haired she/he is named after a type of cat.

    @Catogrande I mentioned recently - flew to Florida and was horrified to have a mahoosive person turn up to sit down next to me...only to then find she'd booked two seats and the inexperienced flight attendant when boarding had given her grief about having two boarding passes. I thought it was brilliant she'd booked two seats and even better she was sitting next to me so I essentially had one and a half seats also...but felt sorry for her that she'd had grief from some numbnuts on a power trip..

    Did she get two meals?

    I have a mate that is a metal broker and he flies all over the place year in, year out and accumulates air miles like a hooker does STDs. He has a time share in Antigua and each year his adult kids insist on going with him and his wife (at his expense of course). One year he used his airmails to bump up to business class and as the family trooped on to the plane he turned left, as his kids followed him he cracked a big grin and told them to turn right. Yes, he'd only bumped up himself and his wife.

    The kids are not longer as keen to go.

    I wonder how everyone else feels about that?

    I'm not sure who is more stupid here. Australian Immigration for trusting an important test to voice recognition software or this woman for simply not pinching her nose closed, not moving her lips and talking through the top of her head. Learn Strine if you want to be an Aussie sheila.

    I fail to see how that is a problem.

    The problem is more like defining what constitutes speaking english.
    I think I speak english but fucked if I can understand half of what many Londoners say. Their accent has now completely dropped all consonants and replaced them with guttural noises
    The letter T has died.

    What irks me most about Australians is their overuse of the word 'mate' even in hostile situations when the person is clearly not a mate ie 'you're a fucken fluffybunny mate, I'm gonna fuck you up mate'.

    Also if you have to have a sip of beer for every 'mate' bomb dropped during an interview with a league player you're gonna be pissed pretty quick.
