He does look like he's 25 though if that makes any difference.
I am rather small... Hmmm...

I was denied last weekend, and the lead-dragon gave me a talk. Quite a nice lady. Perhaps next time I should record the encounter for people to see.

I once had a 6-hour transit and no shame, so I tried all three lounges and was denied at each and every one. I depart from A 80% of the time, so have become familiar with the supervisor...
