Which is why I'm not really in Toronto for "Canadian Sensitivity Training."

But it's really amusing to think that I am. :-:

Just my observation as I mocked the "training" this past week. Though I'm sure such a statement would get under their skin for even suggesting their sensitivity is even remotely American based. :rolleyes: Toronto's not as bad as the rest of the frozen great white north.

The waitress at lunch was disappointed I didn't speak French. Apparently the
Quebecois are infiltrating :rolleyes:ntario.

I noticed that a lot in Toronto over Labor Day when I was there.

You know you've now been blacklisted from all our plat companion lists? ;)

Not mine. :p

I have to give the Canadians credit for their creativity in sending a message.

Are your sure that's Canadian? I think they are way too sensitive for that. What am I saying that's way too sensitive for us for obvious reasons.

Had a few run ins with French Canadians last week. :rolleyes::mad:
They must have my face a poster that says, "If you see this person, bump in to him repeatetley for absoulutely no reason." Say what you want about Parisians, but they are less rude than the many French Canucks I come accross in my travels.

They were produced in Canada but never aired.

For those of you that have a PClub membership and are currently *G through BD - are you going to renew your PClub membersip or just use *G for your club access? Besides being able to access a PClub when you aren't flying a Star carrier (or not flying at all), is there any real advantage to paying for a membership after CO joins Star?

Are you actually in LA or just confused on where you are as you have traveled too much.

That has happened to me before as well. Someone asked who was typing so much, and when the other three people on the call all responded "Not me," I was busted. I lied and said I was taking notes. That came back to haunt me two days later when someone e-mailed me and asked if they could have my notes from the call (which of course didn't exist). :eek:

You didn't say you were taking notes on the call itself though. :)

You know what grates my cheese is when a restaurant charges for a second glass of soda. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: What makes it worse is that I ordered a couple of beer too and they dinged me.

The offender in this case is Bahrs in Highlands next to Sandy Hook. :td::td::td: One of the most expensive disappointing meals that I ever had.

Typically the reason you are charged per soda in Europe is because they sell drinks by the can or bottle and don't have fountain or gun supplied sodas which is were the cost savings is at.

Are all of the terminals at DFW connected airside?

I am going to be arriving from a US flight so I will spend my layover in the PClub before going over to terminal B for my UA flight. How long should I allow for this transfer?

Finally, has anyone been to the LH lounge at DFW? Assuming it is a *G lounge and open during the time I am there, is it worth a visit?

The ability to move about within DFW once passed security is very easy. i actually used the terminal as a place to walk once when staying near the airport. Got drinks in the lounges and exercise in the concourses!

OK, lunch is over back to work.

I'm going to end up keeping my Pclub membership since I have the PP card. The 25% RDM bonus is enough to keep the PP card for me.
