Antiqantas, First and foremost, welcome to FlyerTalk!
Secondly, kudos on an excellent first post, I loved it!

I had the pleasure of hearing the subtlely unique international version on LAX-MEL just recently. As it was a night flight, because we're Qantas, we are special and leave the cabin lights on for night take-off's.
On a serious note, is there any added "safety" from leaving the lights on during night time take offs? All other carriers, with perhaps the exception of Qantas, dim the cabin lights for take off and landing.
Anyways, off to PER in another day with QF - but I have the pleasure of sampling Vermin Blue's (
I'm sorry, that would be Virgin Blue) special nickle & dime service on my return.
