Today? Ouch. Well that just means you have a lot of money, given that the market went down like 2%... ;)

It'll go back up, it always does. Unless you're planning to retire in the next 5 years don't worry about it.

Try trading CFD's. That'll screw you up VERY rapidly.

LOL I live on the same side of the country as you, and although generally lazy, I'm happy to jump on any ridiculous-most-normal-people-wouldn't-do-that idea that distracts me from life at the moment such as http://www.nightrace.ca/vancouver-september-25th-s13938. :D It's in the dark so people can't see bits wobbling that shouldn't and better yet, it has a beer garden at the end. WAY better plan! ;)

I gave a little chuckle and told her nope it's all free... she was happy to hear that. :D

awww :)

Color me surprised. Show up at NEXUS YYZ Dom...plebian walks from the general security "mouth" exit to the NEXUS lane. I pull up to scan my BP and he gets there 5 seconds before me. The CATSA lady tells him to wait, scans my BP and lets me go to security ahead of him where there's no line.

Color me surprised. CATSA doing something right (and wrong) at the same time. I'm pleasantly amused and impressed right now :)

I hate that stupid NEXUS line. So slow. When I leave YYZ on Friday, I'm going to do the AC Priority line and see how that works out.

Other people disagree with me. But i've done it enough that I know the NEXUS line is mostly quicker.

WHY IS THERE NO WIFI ON THIS DAMN A320?? :td::td::td::td::td::td::td::td:

Some agents have been doing the "hold and wait" to the plebs for awhile now at YYZ Dom security. That line still sucks but has improved in the last year.

Burp.

The Nexus line at YYZ is SO much better than the regular line. I had a fairly brief connection at YYZ once and accidentally left the inner area (I hate that airport layout from the bottom of my heart) and was supposed to go back in, only it was like Saturday afternoon and the lineup was looking like 2 hours long.

Told a security person I accidentally left and had a connection and they shuttled me through Nexus within like 5 minutes.

I wish I was eligible for Nexus... or Global Entry... or anything. Damnit.

ANA Lounge at NRT
 
For those at NRT drop by ANA NRT lounges and check out the Star wars video game capsule... Collect your token at the desk and be prepared for an nauseating adrenaline pumping experience in the game booth..

I am so addicted to that game now... You sit in the simulation capsule and experience the real star war sensation...

..I want more...:D

Great, now try YVR transborder NEXUS security line.

It is an absolute farce of a line. Absolute bloody fartfacefecalmatter farce.

Agreed. Worst "priority" line in the country as far as I'm concerned.

Oh come on, he's not drinking alone, but I just feel like he should either say "I'm hanging out with Alice, Bob, and Eve, discussing the intricacies of running an airline." or nothing at all :p

I actually hate CATSA more than TSA.

But the YVR Transborder NEXUS security line is a fecalbungholefarce.

Don't know what happened to them.

To the showerpurse beetledunglarvaeconsumer in 4F (with the white E&Y polo shirt on), you are the village idiot of the showerpurse tribe. Who puts their hand/arm propped over the seat in front of them like that while someone is in said seat? You're a bonafide cowmanure eater. Do you feed your kids cowmanure too? Or is it penguin poop? You're such an idiotbum.

yyznomad Sep 3, 2015 6:46 am

What do you guys think of the Laphroaig QA Cask? I've been buying it often at duty free recently and kinda like it. I like my peat and smoke :)

You're talking about the super early bird package.

I paid more than that for the sweatshirt :p

I used the supre special KeepClickingRefresh™ technique to snag one of the bomber early bird packages at $119 that some fool* forfeited. We'll see if it's any good!
