Is that from th Dyson and Hoover school of thought Adam?

Now that was a Phat story there mate.

Load on the return was pretty similar to the run down. 100-130 spare Economy Seats and 8 or so in Business Class.

I heard Dave say we were pumping 30fps (frames per second) into the little Ixus lens for it to convert to audio visual delight. I am not sure if this is fast-frame, half-frame or full-frame! I'm by no means a point and shoot camera expert.

Negative, we couldn't find any reference to GPS units on the Safety Card. Furbies are discriminated against but the humble GPS doesn't rate a mention. Clarification was sought on this and we were advised they can be used during the cruise phase of the flight.

I still want to know why you sneezed twice?

[Rhys Xanthis]

Furbies might have something to do with the IR sensors in their heads?

Great report there Mr Murray. You've set a bench mark in "dot-point" trip reports!

We wonder how electricity gets to the aircraft in flight. I suggest a rather large (albeit retractable) extension cord.

They don't load freight into the holds.. they load people who are all pedalling as fast as they can on little bikes with those old generator thingame-bobs rubbing against the tyre making that whirring noise! That's why you never see all the overhead lights on at the same time. It'd wear the poor buggers out!

Browneye - Maybe he has an allergic reaction to the seats in Y?

You mean the Auxiliary Pedaling Unit?

The old Qantas livery lives on. And I think it will for many more years.

Sterling effort there, Craigo! The bar has certainly been raised.

You didn't mention your latrine visits on the return leg; were the dunnies blocked up with coffee grounds? And you didn't score the hosties; we can still call them that can't we ?

I'm disappointed that Graeme Hutchinson didn't specifically mention you in his ACARS reporting. That could have really capped off an awesome trip report for us back here on terra firma. And is that Nick Furby you are referring to?
