This new annual thread has been carved out of the previous thread in an effort to reduce the number of megathreads on the AC forum. For those interested previous versions are the
original 2004 - 2014 thread and the 2015 edition
The original thread started by accident but quickly became a popular place to come and discuss off topic things such as hockey, new movies, or almost anything that wouldn't fit into existing AC forum threads. More Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues or mileage earning/redemption are all topics that should go into existing AC forum threads so others can benefit from this information. Topics about hotels or airlines and/or their loyalty programs should be posted elsewhere on FT.
While the conversation is more relaxed as it would be in a lounge that doesn't mean however that the FT rules don't apply her as they definitely do so please refrain from controversial topics such as politics or religion, avoid profanities and treat other lounge patrons with the same respect you expect.

My biggest problem with UPX is how fricking slow it is. At $10 that would be fine, but at the price they are asking I expect HEX speed, so 15 minutes at the absolute max. Even that would only be 100 kph, so not high speed in any manner.

If you like the US House of Cards, go back and watch the original British version (also on Netflix).
"You might say that; I couldn't possibly comment" is one of my favourite TV catchphrases ever.

I need some wedding gift suggestions for my best friend. I'd like to give her something she'll never be able to use
Backstory: Best friends from high school; I can't make her wedding; she sent me an invitation so that I'd still send a gift (jokingly; and she told me so). I was thinking I'd give her a Tim Horton's gift card, since she's moved to SD (lucky her), but she goes to Vancouver every now and then...
So I'm looking for something that says both "you suck" and "congratulations on becoming a real adult and making me feel bad about my immaturity"

I actually watched the UK version first but find US version (atleast season 1&2 are superior)

And if you like political comedy, check out the classic British shows "Yes, Minister" and "The Thick Of It" (the basis for the American show "Veep").
