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, 2016 edition , 2017 edition, 2018 edition, 2019 edition, 2020 edition and 2021 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. Air Canada or Aeroplan topics such as flight feedback, in-flight services issues, status 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, destinations, in-flight travel tech. or anything best discussed elsewhere on FT may be relocated to that forum as this thread isn't meant to import travel topics to this forum that are better discussed on other forums. FT is an amazingly diverse and large community so members are encouraged to seek out all of its resources.
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 here 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.

I walked by a local business as the owner was hoisting a St Patrick's Day flag at 5:00 PM on the 17th......almost oops.
His wife was on CBC's Still Standing this week showing off her "To Die For" Muffins. They run a funeral home.

Too lazy to make Friday after work cocktails so going to make it a problem for the professionals. What could possibly go wrong?

Just back from a week in Ireland and had an absolute blast. Great place and crazy St Paddys celebrations. Temple bar area was nuts and almost impassable. Oh and no masks anywhere. Very thankful that we tested neg on our Antigen test after spending every evening in crowded pubs/restaurants, full tour buses, St Paddys parade, etc.

Dear Spotify playlist curators,
A song released in the early-1980s that appears on a "Best Of" album made in the late 1990s, does not belong in a "songs from the 1990s" type of playlist.
Oh, and a lot of your playlists suck.
Warmest Regards,

I had Eggs Benedict and Bohemian1 had the Banana Bread French Toast. There were fish cakes on the menu as a side dish, but the thick cut bacon caught my eye instead.

Just something interesting on the menu, but it looked outstanding. I just decided to go with my classic option for when I go to a restaurant for breakfast or brunch.
