High Life Magazine
On two intercontinental flights in the past few days the High Life magazine had been withdrawn. Presumably this follows the sad events in New York and Washington.
Out of curiousity, does anyone know the reason for this?

I agree that some pictures need withdrawing, like the CD cover that showed an explosion on the WTC, but this is a bit OTT.

High Life was withdrawn for 2 reasons:
1) There was an ad for a perfume with the WTC and a plane flying close by. and:
2) There was an ad for what I remember as "Cunard" which said something like, " The New York Skyline may never change, but the wya sof getting there do not."
Anyway, there will be a new issue out next week.

Flew J class LHR-SIN-SYD last week on BA15 and I had a magazine, but the offending pages had been cut out. People in Y didn't have mags. The CSD on the second leg took the time to read out what the movie selection was at least!
The Omnia movie guide was surprisingly missing though. Was there anything offending in this? I asked the FA for a copy and she was surprised I had a copy of Highlife!!

My God! You actually read the thing? I thought you boys were clever. Are the flights that boring?
Heresy it may be, I think that it is trash.

Scotty, If I actually saw anyone doing the exercises, I would agree. As it stands we swear by an asprin and chocolate for DVTs.

Mr Earn, at the risk of bringing the wrath of the self-righteous down around my head (and I am not refering to anyone on this particular thread) ask any of the girls. For gynacological reasons we often have some in our handbags. Some use asprin substitutes but the wise always do. Enough said.
Boys you should always have aspirin close to hand. Aspro is the best (I stock up in France as they do the 500mg - UK 300mg) as it deloves well in water. It is wonderful for all sorts of things. Girls too, but we're more practical about such matters.
First Class gives you headaches Scotsy, all that fizz.
