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 , 2015 edition , and 2016 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 or should be posted elsewhere on FT as should topics better suited to other forums such as Travel Products for questions about luggage or Travel Photography for discussion about cameras.
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.

It's not cake, and it's not on a plane, but 24Left's thread got me very hungry today. So here's what I came up with. If only I had some mango sorbetto to pair with it. Raspberry sorbetto would work too.
Also, sorry that I'm not as good as 24Left when it comes to food photography.

24L, don't you think that not only would he get in trouble for having a mystery guest over, he'd get in far more trouble for not saving the last pieces for his wife?

I feel bad for my seat mate.
He's 1D, and I'm 1F.
I've tripped over him twice trying to get in or out.
But then I wonder... Why did he take the aisle? I have 1F because it was the last available seat when I was rebooked at T-4. He selected his.
He hasn't been up once.
I prefer the aisle specifically so I don't disturb anyone. And while I'll put partial blame on 1D for crossing his legs and sticking them in the aisle, it's really my egress/ingress that is causing the issue.
And I hate it.
I almost hit the call button instead of getting up, but I hate doing that. I guess it's better than tripping over 1D though.

Presumably he took 1D in case he needed to get up and, from what you say he's a tall chap so has more room to spread his legs? I nearly always take aisle as I'm up every 2-3h unless in a lie flat.

I believe there are a few single malt fans here. Looking for suggestions to replenish my bar since the last weekend a few of my friends finished off Kavalan, Balvennie, Glen Deveron and Hakushu. Any recommendations - preferably under USD $150 and easily available in the US. Thanks.

Ugh. NVM on the pre-edit.
Different question, why did my client sign an SOW for a POC when they want turnkey, and why are they on week 6 of 8 only now developing internally a test plan for something not quite this actual project?
