Yes WW’off is late. Blame qantas, delayed flights etc. What is the correct description for Qantas these days? Is it ramshackle or is it cochamamie? Jeez they just get crappier every day. If the only value an airline has is that it hasn’t crashed and killed anyone yet, that’s not enough in my opinion. “We haven’t crashed yet, so we won’t have seat back screens, and we’ll make everybody watch only Mamma Mia from ten seats away. We haven’t crashed yet, so we’ll just leave your bags in Sydney. We haven’t crashed yet, so how about we take off whenever we feel like it and then look accusingly at you when you don’t make your connecting flight…”
Qantas. WORST. So here’s one from Cookster. A manly looking girl from China with a massive wine glass. As a toy. Yeah. I like that.
And one from Turf. Remember we had a post on the Pert sign? Well here’s the R with someone giving Turf the double finger from on it.
Ligao = Lego perhaps?
I refer to my previous posting in “PERT”
I now understand that it was for the benefit of the TV cameras during the Carmine Bulldust aerial show.
Why, with us being so closely allied to China, was this not done by their preferred option of dressing the spectators in selected colours and arranging them so that the chosen words are spelled out appropriately.
Surely, if the slow minded slopes can do it, the intellectually advantaged people of the ‘Golden West’ could make an even better job of it.

Condolences, TLA. Whilst Malcolm Gladwell’s hypothesis is indeed a “fascinating and provocative idea”, I think I’m with Patrick Smith on this one.
And as it’s Sunday, here’s your penance.

About time. But yes Qantas is worst (or wort, if there was a big foreshore sign). As well as the reasons above, I loathe them because it’s so hard for a 195cm person to sit comfortably in their crappy seats. You are not a short man, LA: how do you get on?

You will get a kick out of what Yobbo wrote about Qantas: QANTAS: It’s Australian For SHIT.
A great pity his old server carked it. In the olden days, 2005, the comments turned into a massive shit-fight between Qantas haters and Qantas lovers.

The Qantas lovers were mainly Qantas employees.

I’m not usually one for cheap laughs about pronunciation, especially as my Japanese friends are always too polite to say, “Not bad, but your accent is really weird”. Nevertheless, I always quietly feel like they’re onto something when they mention flying with C*ntarse.

I have a S-I-L of many longs years experience driving military aircraft, large and small. who relatively recently joined a foreign airline as pilot and had to relocate o/s which he and his family really didn’t want.
His answer to the question: “Why not get a job with Quaintarse?” was so scathing that I will not offend the dear readers of this blog with the vernacular vehemence by quoting him directly.
Suffice to say that he implied that he would rather shovel the stuff for a living than fly for a company constructed solely of the stuff.

I cannot believe there is so much anti-Qantas feeling her.
It’s our goddam national airline (well, sort of).
It got our goddam boys and girls (and ladyboys) out of Thailand.
It’s never had a crash – in the air, that killed people!
It has quite possibly the finest airport terminal in Australia, nay, the world! And those jolly, friendly lads and ladies out the front are super-helpful.
It has an A380 so we plebs can subsidise the ultra-rich.
And it has the most honest Frequent Flier system in the world.
Hell, Qantas rocks!

Charming Girl is actually a Qantarse hostie – wine glass in one hand and … what’s that other hand shaped to do? See you in the toilet in 10.
