I have flown Air Asia: Manila to Kuala Lumpur pre pandemic - they were OK & the flight schedule was better than Cebu Pacific's at that time. I don't know the case now.

Ooh, PAL blankets are now blue! The one that I have is a pale red.

I am starting to suspect that all the other teak door posts are just camouflage to obfuscate the actual sharing of airline spoon stealing tips and displays of prized hauls

The FBI may need to investigate

Mendy is the King Pin of the spoon stealing gang. He is probably under surveillance.

He does have the unfair disadvantage of being able to slip them into his back hair.

He'd better watch out for ducks in that pool and a craving for cigars.

Thankfully, when the whole spoon fencing saga comes to an end nobody will be sure what happened.

It'll make a cracking ITV series.

Flying peasant class, we do have a nice collection of plastic eating utensils, all stamped with PAL's name if you're interested Mendy.

I feel that you should take some responsibility for this yourself.

I have several airline blankets but they are obviously trickier to collect than cutlery. A quilted Finnair business class blanket is the pride of my collection and it makes an excellent dog blanket for the back seat of the car.

I never really wanted to start collecting airline blankets but have always felt that the airlines kind of pushed me into it when they started converting to plastic cutlery. You have to collect something!

Oh and Topper, you can keep that plastic stuff.

I do see these comments, you know.

The Duke of Newcastle was a master cutler

Given the epic proportions of my new collection, I think I'll pass on swapsies for now.

Not this time Katie. I bought my kilt in 2007 just before I moved to Australia.

This was the first new Year it just didn't fit at the waist.

It only needs a small alteration, but it needs one all the same!

Always a bit hit and miss. Sometimes will, sometimes won’t. Has your course started yet?

Not yet, I have a 10am train to Inverness, bus to Fort William then need to find a bus to Kinlochleven.

Looking at around 7.5 hours.

I don't think it covers posting pics on TD, I may be wrong.

Say hello to my Uncle Jimmy, will you?

I actually do have an Uncle Jimmy in Inverness

**dirk diggler** · 14-01-2024, 03:20 PM

If I say hello from Hallelujah to every Uncle Jimmy I'll probably miss my connection!

**Edmond** · 14-01-2024, 04:39 PM

Shout out to Dodd and Sparky in Glenrothes too, if yer passing by.

You can prove your Scotness by telling us the real name of 'Dodd'.

**dirk diggler** · 14-01-2024, 05:39 PM

Big Dodd, Psycho Dode or Wee Mental Doddie?

Sparky teen a job at the Speyside Cooperage in Craigelachie.

Apparently a name for all Georges up that way.

One of 2 long corridors I had to hike along to get to my room in Heathrow.

when I checked out I told them about the AC not working and the missing TV remote. So she gave me a free £8 fair for a driverless pod system that they have back to T5
