If there were 9 passengers up front and 9 sides loaded that doesn't sound like a case of under catering but one of a greedy passenger taking an extra portion! Whilst pasta dishes are not traditionally served with a vegetable side, the vegetable side is a menu item and available to order. It appears you did not request the side when giving your order to the crew and by the time you did make the request the other passenger had already been given an extra portion. The menu is a la carte so best in future to ask for the vegetable side if it is not offered to you when your order is taken.

There was no under catering, pete3 received his first choice meal. What he didn't receive was a side of vegetables - because it was not ordered at the time his meal order was taken. A side of vegetables is not normally served with a pasta dish, had he ordered the side of vegetables when his food order was taken then he would have received it. It was only after all other passengers had ordered their meals was the extra side given to another passenger who requested an extra portion.

[QUOTE=Vasco Pridat;31048052]I was shown the crew "handbook" which suggests 22 centigrade as a "comfortable" temperature. Poppy-cock!

I'm still reeling from the new first class pen. The old one was the exact right weight and I have collected many over the years - this new one is tiny with a strange rubber thing on the end. I'm appalled.

i run hot generally and on the A380 especially, always find the F and CW upper deck too warm. I complain regularly about this on board, sometimes to great effect, sometimes not. Sleep science shows a cooler temp is more optimal...plus under the bedding adds more heat but is more comfy.
I wonder there the temperature guage is though because on the A380, once i run to the loo, past the heavy curtain, it is a heavenly chill and the curtain blocks the cool air from entering the cabin and seated in 1A, i have been so very tempted to partly open it but know the light would annoy others!

I've got a ballpoint pen with the same material. The difference is that the squishy part is over the ballpoint tip exit. The material has a hole in it so that the pen can be extendedto write with. It was a promotional gift from a company and bears their details.
If you want a smaller and or less squishy tip then the stylus needs to be powered. Efrem on the Travel Technology board explains this as well as anyone

That's what you charge via this port.
A chopstick, aside from its point being too small to work without additional current, doesn't conduct electricity - unless your chopsticks are made of metal. Mine aren't.
