Update is now complete. Well almost. If anyone has recently flown out of Turin, Thessaloniki and/or Catania could you confirm the current lounge arrangements for BA passengers at these airports.

Great job, but please note:
1) GRX opens a 30-seat lounge for its BA-LCY (airport's only international, scheduled) flights - serving wine, beer, soft drinks, tea, coffee & pre-plated snacks (ham, crackers and mini-Danish) to mainly DYKWIA CE & status pax.
2) Isn't the code for Valencia VLC?

ANE has a small lounge with TV and Nespresso machine for status pax (not bad for an airport with only 1 commercial route (BA to LCY)!!

Could you correct the location details for Orly lounge? I was there today and it is actually in Hall 1 at ORY(W) not Hall 2. There are a pair of lifts on the right just after Starbucks as you are walking in to Hall 1. The lounge is on floor 2 and the entrance is the white door opposite the lifts.
I have photos but will post when I do my TR for my IB run from ORY to SEA.

OTP / Bucharest :
Old lounge right by Security has now closed, but there is a much better new lounge above Gate 7, Mastercard Lounge, but open to BAEC. Physical presentation of your card is currently required due to non connecting IT.
http://www.thediplomat.ro/articol.php?id=4508
Similar set-up as before, the text otherwise looks ok, except the toilets are now just outside the entrance.
Which reminds me: Genoa has toilets inside the lounge, and wifi needs a code printed by reception.

I was in the ZRH OW lounge mid-January and there wasn't any champagne. There was some sort of wine that they claimed was sparkling, but had a screw cap. 
At least the time I was in the Panorama Lounge they had actual Prosecco.
On the plus side, the potatoes with currywurst was actually pretty good.

One update and one non-update, not in that order: I'm currently sat in GOT where the lounge is precisely as described above (except that the dishwasher is packed up so it's all disposables today).
DUB needs to be updated as the temporary lounge in pier B is finished and it's back to where the old BD lounge used to be, except with DAA's service standards.

Lounge at BRU opening times
Anyone know recent opening times for the BA lounge at BRU. 
We are on the first flight out at 6.40am to LHR next month on a Saturday.
The Brussels Airport website says its opening times are : Opening hours: 6 am - 10 pm.
So if that is up-to-date, that doesn't leave us any time for a visit to the lounge.....
