  1. I got the dreaded SSSS on my boarding pass this morning. God grant me the strength not to cop an attitude and get myself arrested by German airport security
  2. 8:40am Munich time and there is beer on an open tap in the LH Senators Lounge...
  3. United has its moments but they by no means suck compared to others. Not even close. Achieve an upper level status with them and “they love you long time”...
  4. I wonder if we’ll discover they lifted more than a doll? Still seems harsh...
  5. Did Spoeckmeier yesterday afternoon. Pretty decent and scenic as it seems all of Munich was out Sunday due to the good weather. Augustiner-Keller for dinner last night. More beer. Next up is Donisl tonight. ps: not sure what has gotten into United lately. The short rib thing they served on flight over from IAH was pretty frickin’ good, but it doesn’t make up for the buffalo Mac n’ cheese domestic abomination
  6. To be fair, while in Ireland, I've encountered the bus loads of US retirees and they can really, shall I say, "change the dynamic". In Hobart in March a cruise ship put into the harbor. Wife and I couldn't get out of town to Port Arthur fast enough.
  7. If this is some sort of a false flag it isn't intended to start a shooting war....it's intent is to further isolate Iran form the rest of humanity. And yes.....if it is it's pretty clumsy
  8. Not to laugh at anyone's misfortune but a multi-million $$ mansion in The Woodlands burned to the ground yesterday. While I don't live in THAT neighborhood you could see the smoke plume and the ABC 13 chopper in the sky. Reportette at the scene is jabbering away while a steady stream of cars containing on lookers cruises by....Jags, Cayennes, multiple BMWs, and Land Rovers. Yeah, The Woodlands can still bring it. What's the point? F**k the haters......Woodlands baby, yay....
  9. they need to appeal to the 9th circuit while there's still time
  10. wow...I can't even blame my craptastic grammar and typos on tapa....I was at a keyboard.
  11. Wait....you took a kid with whooping cough to Mexico? Anti-vaxxers are the only idiots...
  12. If the intent was to sink the ship it would have been sunk. It should be that hard to bring a ship like that to the bottom (or have it blow itself up to smitherines.
  13. Someone PM Hugo and tell him to get over here. He's missing out....
  14. So no one is allowed a "people free" photo of the 3 sisters or Delicate Arch...?
  15. I was on a call with some UK colleagues and I mentioned a mileage run to Australia that my son and I are considering....one asked me straight up if I would do anything to offset the resulting carbon output. I just answered "no". Then nothing but silence.
  16. I feel this thread is beginning to slip into CR hell.....
  17. I'm IAH based. I fly a lot of United (1K last couple of years, top of the heap Global Svcs this year - yay! look at me).....United has had their "moments" over the years but never anything approaching what Hagbard described above.
  18. It's the same issue - my wife and I have encountered them from Utah to Ireland to Australia: 1. They travel in large groups and have no courtesy of others. They will step into your photo shot without remorse 2. They will walk in packs (sometimes 3-4 abreast) and take up a whole trail. They are completely unprepared for the trail conditions therefore walk slowly and awkwardly 3. They never stop talking...I've seen groups of 8 or more people and they are all talking at the same time.
  19. This is what makes Texas great....
