Apologies for hijacking this thread but can someone point me in the direction of the current Flounge thread and how often does that menu change? Searches only reveal previous years threads.

I have just put the December Flounge menu in the right thread. As you will see, it largely overlaps the CCR lounge menu.

I enjoyed the beef check main and the millionaire shortbread this afternoon.
Will post a photo of the short bread when I get home.
I asked at about 11:42 if I could order lunch and it was agreed without needing to throw myself at the mercy of the staff - lunch menus arrived and I was tucking into my OK starter at about 12:02. ^

Drinks table on CCR Terrace near door
I spoke to J, who was on managerial duty today and we went out together to view it.
While not unhappy for (over) confident people such as myself to help ourselves to the increased offering of red and white wine as well as champagne and water, he did say it was primarily a serving point to help staff working on the Terrace serve passengers more easily/quickly without having to go to the main bar or elsewhere. He felt its positioning as a bar, rather than a help yourself station (i.e. more open and sat against the window rather than its current position) was appropriate.

Just about explains how tired I am, and that I am actually reading FlyerTalk as a 3-minute break while still working at this time of the night in my very feeble attempt to stay awake

given Filthy's pics look like they have been taken in his garage (love you too - nice to see you and Ms Monkey, too), here are the pics (including unseen ones):
...
The oxcheek, though not a looker, was tasty and the executive chef who came out for a chat was clearly pleased with it and thinks it's a good one for December (and I'd agree - not going to be top of my favourite list but it was tasty and for December, a good dish). Filthy thought the mushroom thingy was a bit dry and not calorific enough so he's suggested more butter or cream in it to the exec chef so if it's too creamy or buttery in the future, you know who to blame.....
the salad thingy was decent and the fish looked good.

A simple starter that was there a while ago. Smoked salmon, capers (maybe), shredded onion and some sort of cream. Very fresh, light and savoury. Perfect with wine and some bread leaving lots of room for eating on board.

Photo guides now updated, thanks for the photos. It's just the curry from the lounge menu which I am missing now.
