Have a VoIP Provider who cut off our ability to make International Calls from our office on the 23rd of August. I've been contacting them for 3 weeks to try and get this shiz resolved... keep getting told that the director of the company is going to call me back within 10 minutes etc... Nothing.... Multiply by over 40 phone calls (30 of which just ring out (To their Sales / Support / Accounting departments).

Getting real tired of this...

are you one of those people with a carry-on bag the size of Andre The Giant's torso?

I usually take a back-pack and a laptop case and combined theyre the smallest items on the plane (in overhead compartment).

well it a qantas approved roll on and if I'm flying other than economy and it iternational yes as I get my own locker.

if economy I have a soft bag that I can fit around others bags.

so from what your saying your the one breaking the rules as you can only have ONE carry on bag.....

As a silver member I reserve the right to take more carry on than you

I think

that's the one area status does not help, carry on limit same for all classes/status.

check in however.

using the Qantas first Class check in, you arrive at the door a bell hop with a luggage trolley picked up your luggage from your and wisks it away and no scales.

considering the luggage limit is over 100kg, they figure if you can carry it in your probally under the limit.

which reminds me better check the winter menu to see what wines are on the list for next week

this is true. but its handy because i can put them into different nooks and crannies left by other bags. Whilst others trawl the length of the plane looking for somewhere to fit their poker set briefcase.

on that note, i hate queues and often wait until the last minute to get on board. often a bad move, but not special enough to get priority boarding.

My last trip with Jet* they placed a bag scale at the queue with dedicated staff to weigh all carry-on.

Doesn't make things easier when you have to carry steel-cap boots & a work laptop

yeah and I think they dropped the kg as well at same time.

last time I traveled with them...1.5kg, was not travel for work, spare change of beach clothes and a tablet. (no lounge so was not worried about attire.)

I've had that.

in the Philippines when we went to Boracay it was a prop job.

they weigh every bag and every passenger to get the weight distrubution correct.

flight was half full and there were 2 gents and the front sitting side by side with the rest of the row empty

other dude went to move to the free seat and stewardess shouts at them to sit back.

last time I caught a prop job.

Nothing worst than someone taking up your side of the overhead storage!

Usually all the asian that line up at the front of the queue and bring in bags each ruining the storage system for the whole plane.

Just like people in cinemas who never sit in their allocated seat

I wish somebody could explain why they don't load the plane passengers from the back first like it makes no sense you can't get to ya seat cos the jerks are loading over head lockers in rows in front of you like wtf it's surely a smarter system?

/endrant

as the ppl at the front of the plane are more important.

or as per one of my biggest hates, those that are at the back start walking down and put their bag in the first gap filling the front rows.

most larger planes do call it buy block of rows for that exact reason, but that would require ppl to be at gate on time and to do what told, which seems impossible for most travellers.

    • Took it to all Japan day. Thrashed it all day and it will still drive home. Very very happy man right now 
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
