I'm still wondering whether corporate-wage-slave got his numbers confused (pretty sure he was going to plead the 5th...), or whether he spends so much time on BA planes that he considers them his home/quarters, and he like having soldiers there in peacetime...

If the latter is true, I sure hope that he pleads the fifth about this...

It was intended as an innuendo-led response but I'm not entirely sure it worked! There are a few other "gems" left in there, plus a few Carry On up the Khybers that I deleted in rapid hindsight.... Never mind, onwards and upwards, as they say.

With the advent of inflight WiFi/data, who will be the first to create the MHC app that works like Grindr/Tinder but on a plane....... see a pic, if you mutually like each other, share your seat number...

F trip with S.O in an empty 747 F cabin. 64K may work too, bit of a squeeze.

I think BA is sort of laying the groundwork for that. There's already a bit of the new Thales IFE that lets you chat with other passengers, and another bit that lets you see photos from your smart phoneq via USB. Link up the two, and - hey, presto!

Why are you so nosy when it's none of your business?

I think that's the question here.

Because without this, we may not have had piquant weekend reading...

People need to find some romance on the ground if that's the case!

I don't think that it is a question at all...

The most interesting business in the world always seems to involve the "none of yours" type.

I have to plead the Third Amendment but it's not so unusual from what I've seen, so long as it's not too obvious (as it was on one flight I had with, inevitably, VS).
Pretty sure you meant the 2nd, the right to bare arms.
