Now we know how Brit makes MR decisions!

That was how I decided where to go to college, believe it or not. It was the afternoon of April 30 and the deposit needed to go in the mail that day. My dad was probably sick to death of all the hemming and hawing and said "If you truly don't care, flip a coin." I was kind of shocked, but figured I wasn't going to come to a decision any other way, so what the :rolleyes:.

It was heads, and I never looked back.

Provided that my parents don't kill me when they finally call back at some point today, we can talk about it at the bar tonight, and I'll sleep on it one more time. If necessary, the coin will be flipped tomorrow morning.

Until I start sweet-talking the agents. But, yes.

I'll eat dinner and get loaded in the SQ lounge prior to flight, pop an Ambien and hopefully wake up in SYD. Maybe a nap mid-afternoon and then a night of binge drinking before heading back to the airport the following afternoon.

You from Nebraska?
That's sorta how they decide elections over there
"State law requires tied elections to be settled by a game of chance."

Yesterday's game-cut a deck of cards

Yes, but I found the noise to be not as much of a disruption as in row 1. I think the galley is noisier / busier in the front then the rear cabin

UA in Y + is better than LH Y the flip side is the free booze on LH.
