DYKWIA - The 2015 Thread

Happy New Year everyone!

Overheard at the party that turned out not to be so dull last night:

"Urgh, I said I would pick up my husband from Heathrow tomorrow morning, so I better not drink too much"

Me: "Why not send a car service?"

"I don't know. The other thing is he has a BA gold card so they always escort him off the plane first and straight to immigration."

Me: "Is that what he tells you? That would be nice."

I hope you were suitably impressed.

The British Airways 747 captain who pointed out that we were waiting for the captain of the 777 next to us to push back - "that's the one next to us with only 2 engines, the poor chap". It sounded so contrived it probably was the tip of a large amount of "DYKWPIF"

I told her I'd like to know how he pulls that off, since that hasn't happened to me since they enhanced away that benefit a few years ago.

The gold card escort or the early morning post-party wife pick up?

Have you considered starting the 2015, double entendre thread?

And in that sentence, your intended meaning of 'gold card escort' is what exactly?

A liveried butler to carry one's gold card on a silver salver perhaps?

How about a gilded litter to carry golds around, borne aloft by 4 enslaved silvers?

That's a good idea. I'm sure we could slip one in somewhere...

I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She'd said she wanted a double entendre. So I gave her one.

Very good. I'll enter you in an innuendo contest.

I just googled 'gold card escorts', and if that is one of the perks of being gold I have no idea why they are shrinking the size of CE seats to save money...
