Is this place for real?

What a pretty lounge. And what a shame it's run by idiots.

I arrived a few hours early for my flight, so it's time to try out the food and drinks and connect to the net. The first thing I did was try to connect to the WiFi. It dropped out before I could even type in the excessively long username and password. After that, it just kept refusing to supply an IP address. My phone got bored of the constant drop-outs and automatically connected to the airport WiFi, which works fine. (The lounge one worked about an hour later when I tried again.) Then I thought I'd go and get some orange juice at the bar. It's listed on the menu, but there's none there. OK, how about some gin? None to be seen. I enquired and was told it's run out. Seriously? We are literally looking down over bars and duty-free shops and they can't find any gin. These guys really couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.

Someone was able to find some orange juice out the back and I set up my laptop at a table near the bar. Power outlet doesn't work. Tried another spot. Power outlet doesn't work. Of the power outlets at tables facing away from the bar, how many work? Zero!
