Can we get a "Rumour:" (or "Rumor:", if you must) in the thread title?
I'm not saying I don't want to see a one hundred page thread complaining about some rumour that some guy heard in a bar, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to wait for the actual announcement. Like last week's big argument about PMCO 777s on the SYD routes.
That said, if you've got a lounge where there's (a) no food, (b) no drinkable drinks, and (c) furniture which isn't anything to write home about, then I'm not sure why you have a lounge at all. You're basically just taking up space.
