I don't mean to sound picky (again) but I sort of object to the word "lucky"in most of these envy situations. Unless your access to such luxury was wholly inherited - in which cas you are lucky but if it's worked for then you are are "fortunate" not "lucky".

Petrus you old dog...what a great way to spend a weekend. I'm envious at how many friends you have. If I wanted to do something like that, I'd have to rent them...

And what on earth is going on in that new BA F cabin?? Not nearly enough bling if you ask me...come, we give you some of ours

Standard NYC

Nice little TR, really enjoyed it. Big ^ for the BA SS agent at immigration. Not got my next F untill April next year and after conflicting opinions about NF it's good to hear it does live up to the F image it should do.

Question - What is the NYC Standard like, having stayed in the Downtown LA one, i was thinking of the NYC one as a possible hotel on a summer 2012 jolly up in New York with some friends.
