I'll stop the questions soon.
The bmi Great British Lounge (on the walk towards gate 5, automatic door hidden on the left as you walk through one of the passageways, signposted as bmi International lounge) is really good. Loungechairs, some with perfect views on 27R/09L and the taxiway, curtained-off loungechairs, dining area, workzone (though the keyboards are terrible brushed metal type), showers etc. Food isn't great though: continental style breakfast with porridge for the 891 flight time, and the usual mix-and-match sandwich offering seen everywhere the rest of the day, with soup and salad.

Drinks on offer with alcohol from The Local (free), which is a (should be) attended bar.
