Merry Chrsistmas and a Happy New Year when it comes. Here's my little effort, so..........

I was saddened to read of the cuts
A kick is needed for some some butts
I wrote to Prince Charles and said excuse me my Lord
I think the only way back for BA is........... bring back Thee Concorde!

Well done. Love or hate BA those are well constructed limericks.

Thanks to all for making this forum a must visit and for educating me since I started travelling lots 2 years ago - I have since gone from lurker to occasional contributor and as ever user of the sage advice offered here. Merry Christmas to all

Altogether now, let's Slade this one out:

Are you hanging by the Champagne Bar in First?
It’s the time all FTers get a thirst.
Did they find a rose champers?
Is it chilled the proper way
Do the fairies keep them sober for a day?

[Chorus]
So here it is, Misty London
Everybody’s fog-bound
Look to the info screen
Your head is spinning round

Are the mods all working over-drive
Are we sure they’ve got the will to stay alive?
Do the OPs still always tell you
That their posts are all the best?
Then they’re up and re-re-posting like a pest

[Chorus]
So here it is, strikes are looming
Everybody’s in a funk
Look to the BA gin
It's time to all get drunk

Merry Christmas to all and may your Avios always be sparkly!

There was a mean old man named Cruz.
Who took away the free booze, leg room, and employee perks.
Now BA passengers lose, suffer dvt, and get treated like jerks.
BA service has become such a pain and shambles;
everyone goes to Flyertalk to complain, as if they have completely lost all of their marbles.

There once was a poster quite giddy
His retorts to complaints were quite witty
“BA is the best!
They sponsor the rest...”
We believe that his handle was Hiddy

Merry X-mas!

Happy Christmas to you all. Thanks for all the tips, tricks and advice.

I'm very excited about my ex-JER trip on Wednesday.

I hope you've been good boys and girls this year...

Grateful to all who make this site as great as it is.

Looking forward to a trip to the US in F on Friday with the family which wouldn't ever had been possible if I hadn't found this site a couple of years ago.

Here's wishing everyone a very happy Christmas and a prosperous and safe 2017.

Safe travels........

Hark the RB 211s sing
"Glory to the airborne queen"
Wheels on earth, and manifest filed
Pax and passes reconciled
Joyful all ye ailerons rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic crew proclaim
"Seat backs up and tables in"
Hark the RB 211s sing
"Glory to the airborne queen"
Cruise, by highest heaven adored
Boeing the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold BA come
Offloading of the tipsy one
Refreshed by cloth, the daylight trickle
Hail the chilled Grand Siècle
Pleased, as man with thirst to quench
Heathrow, then Abbotsinch
Hark the RB 211s sing
"Glory to the airborne queen"

I wish you all a wonderful holiday
