Well.. it would've been better than the risotto, that's for sure... 
I had some of the "slop" which was well... sloppy...
Back to the champagne bar then, but oh noes... no Tat.. only Castlenaeu 04 and Henriot 09 (yes, yes, I know, FWP...)
Anyone in GF right now?

Maybe they can cajole Gordon Ramsay into lending some of Plane Foods' short rib burgers?

Yesterday they were recycling breakfast sausages at lunch and only had two slop options .. Spoke to catering supervisor and she said they were having delivery problems ... Strange that they have problems delivering edible food on most days in GF ..

Well, to top off the burger, rather than bacon and cheese....
...Failed Conformance! Despite arriving through flight connections nearly 4hrs ago!!
I know these are first world problems but I arrived at LBA over 10 hours ago and have 2 more to home. I think I could've swam to AMS from Scarborough by now... Zzzzz
