WTF? Fireworks central, can't even hear TV/Videos - can barely see down the road for the smoke - the pollution (both noise & atmosphere) Why can't people celebrate whatever they want but QUIETLY, not inflicting it on everyone else, who is frankly not interested? I'm told this goes on for 3 days FFS!

@telegraphnews.bsky.social How odd! Today's Panagram (No 904) will not accept 'WOMEN' or 'MORON' both of which fit and both of which are in the Oxford English Dictionary :|

@stevenomadic.bsky.social Unable to give a wave to OMD123, on its way to DGX, as it went overhead the BUR NDB, just west of LHR, earlier at FL210 - really murky overcast at 1,000 feet :(

Wave as you went by at FL220 just to the south of me, just west of LHR at 08.05Z :)

May get a wave from me if your routing takes you anywhere near the BUR NDB, just NW of LHR and I'm not still in bed!

@davewallsworth.bsky.social Dave, being ex A380, expect Airbus logic similar on A350, in the cruise, AP maintaining assigned FL, is this achieved by pitch trim, autothrust or both? Recent LHR <-> SIN on SQ A380s, also RR, v distinct intermittent low engine rumble in cruise, seated front upstairs 1A

Silly question time (!) Why are the accident reports mirrored (i.e. text reversed/reflected), as well as the QantasLink model? Probably bleeding obvious, but not yet to me. Copyright/permissions thingy?

Hubby could probably talk you thorough it, assuming it's Windows PC not Mac (spit). It's what he does, though some software limitations can be the cause

Currently having a 4-week relax in Singapore, but have just grabbed all 6 eps and will start watching later today :)

Having travelled here in SQ's A380 Suites, (1st ever trip not just in the back), off to BKK for day-trip in the morning on Scoot/TR to see half brother and step mum, may be quite an experience, SQ's low-cost division!

I'm back in Singapore, where I grew up, not been here since 1988, staying nearly 4 weeks, also travelled Singapore Airlines Suites on their A380 - something I've wanted to experience for 17 years since they got their first A380. Surpassed all expectations.

Unless it's a 'critical' update I'd stay in the warm. Currently 27C outside here and it's 22.40 Thursday :)

I certainly am - currently in 29C (feels like 33C), 90 miles north of the equator :)

Less than 3 hours to go - 1st time A380, 1st time SQ Suites - exceeded expectations :) Not been on SQ or in Singapore since 1988!

Staying in S'pore 3.5 weeks - SQ Suites - a long desired wish - back to where I grew up from age 4 - back here to boarding school (London) from age 10 - numerous flights to/from SIN 1968-1976 - not been back since 1988 - can't wait :) Hubby not coming as he'd have to be anaesthetised for >2hr flight

Skeets is commonly used (for those not offended by it), also Bleets and Bloots seem to be used
