That is a perfectly reasonable complaint, come on now, Petrus...

I shall not tolerate this. Arise Sir Petrus, MUCCI Extraordinaire des Salons d'Or.

Now tell me that you feel inferior? If the GL or wherever is attracting the Made in Chelsea meets Jersey Shore crowd - feel a little sympathy with the Gatwick flyers these days. I have never seen such a crowd of fat, coarse, vulgar people this side of a Benidorm Beach Bar. If I ever said anything nasty about the Terraces or Flounge before I take it all back. This Lounge is really dire - the personnel are perfectly pleasant but so unbelievably slow.

Why oh why did my Best Friend in the Whole World have to go and live in ALC? I suspect that this lot are all headed there and beyond. Oh Woe is me. Still we might get a TFTG out of it!

PUCCI, bless! That is around the 7th or 8th MUCCI bestowed upon me.

You'll be pleased to hear things have gotten better now. The worst of the Made in Chelsea types have boarded their flights to NCE.
One of the chaps working here did his usual trick and escorted me to a cupboard and filled a glass with some of the secret stash.
Lynch Bages 2006. Might have to leave the car at ARN and get a taxi...

Rumours of Nepotism on Flyertalk
Are some people getting more than their fair share?

Our Reporter is being despatched to the Cote du Bombay to investigate.
Is Moderation actually immoderate?
Who is PUCCI, and why?
And what is a fair share ... of what?

I suspect that PUCCI is at times a very subtle satirist.

Subtle? There's a novelty!

I see her more as Atilla the Hen, frighteningly attractive and yet with death at her fingertips at a moment's whim.

Perhaps I just like dominant women?

No hope.

Live from 786.
A pax behind me in row 2 just told of the purser that they are offended by their comment that they cannot lift up their bag into the overhead locker.

For flying sake what is wrong with people!?

There certainly are a lot of complainers out there.

Maybe said bag preferred to remain in her seat.

Madeira last week: i was a bit confused about getting the pram up a large kerb, an english chap came running over from a fair distance offering to help. I was fine (i'm a big bloke so a pram is no bother when the brain kicks in), but that really really made my day. on the flight home yesterday, full flight, near last to board due to waiting too late to change the 2 yr old. Get to seat, a perfect space above our row for the wheelie we had. I actually believe someone went to the effort (crew or fellow passengers) to keep that space seeing the empty row and figuring it was us. I still believe....i still believe....i am a very (very) angry overweight glaswegian who is ready to explode, but then i think of things like the above...

Apparently, either the keeping in shape of their arms or the weight of their suitcase!

Now Petrus - you are a very naughty boy. If you put that in your profile then I'd know. You know that I can scatter MUCCI's like confetti at a Mafia Wedding! I'd give you a good hairbrushing except you'd enjoy it far too much.

I cannot believe that people such as you describe sometimes can be so unbelievably crass. I'd love some of the Time Lords at Watership Down to leave their cocktail parties and come and hear what the crews have to put up with sometimes.

This is not for those of a delicate disposition - if you are stop reading.

I debated posting this but after posting last night, someone arrived at the aircraft dressed as though he was going to the beach. He actually looked as though his maid had thrown his clothes at him. Nothing matched and what there was had clearly fitted 1000 beers and Full English ago. He waddled along in his flip-flops and clearly wished - in delicate terms - to adjust his dress. In pursuit of that aim he stuck his paw down his bermudas and had a good rummage (probably he thought that he'd lost something), removed his hand and sniffed. I am not making this up. Your Own Correspondent decided that only a lot of Champagne would dull the pain of this image. As you can tell, it failed, but not for want of trying. I still wonder if he has a handle on Flyertalk.

Maybe we can invent one for him. ShortsandFingers?
