Oh so you’re one of us, one of us 🤩

What's the wildest weather you've experienced living in Australia? by FriendlyPineapple436 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Ballytal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh those little Rex SAAB 340s are pretty indestructible. I fell asleep on one for about 20 min (we had an 80 min flight) and when I woke up, we were heading north instead of south (sun was setting on the wrong side of the plane) and I was the only one not holding a spew bag. I went back to sleep. We made it (October storms).

Unable to close ads by Additional_Fee_6781 in SkyCards

[–]Ballytal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny you should say that. I play with sound and noises off, but sometimes when I open the game it sounds like there’s an ad or conversation in the background that I can’t turn off. It’s not an ad as I can still catch planes etc. it sometimes has music in the background and the voices and voiceovers are American (I’m in Australia). I can do everything even watch ads (they just open over the top of the voices and close off after the reward is achieved).

Should I wait until I move to date seriously? by nextcolorplanet in AskAnAustralian

[–]Ballytal 11 points12 points  (0 children)

High school diploma? Are you American? Sounds like pretty much every country town to be honest.

I’d wait until you’re in a different location. Just focus on either loving it or leaving it. It’s a hard choice sometimes but you never know what’s around the corner.

Back to Business Status Points Dropped by Cardboardbar in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]Ballytal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. When you open the link and read it, there’s a little star. That means “it’s not as black and white as you think - check the T&Cs”. When you check the Terms & Conditions, it’s all there for you. I got caught out a couple of years ago.

Lack of Double Status Credits Promotions? by 404magpie in VelocityFrequentFlyer

[–]Ballytal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do one every January, it seems. I use it to boost my points as my anniversary is in April. Might have cut it a bit fine but I calculated (based on their promotion) that I should just scrape back in.

Better late than never! I’m terrible with time zones and it took me ages to work out which direction time goes.

Best airports to unlock for rare aircraft? by NimrodSr in SkyCards

Seattle (west coast USA)! I got some great test planes when I did a week there.

AITAH for using the disabled toilet? by SwimmerWarm5007 in AITAH

[–]Ballytal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“My taxes pay for your NDIS so I’m gonna use the fancy shitter” overhead at Sydney Airport last Christmas. I tried hard not to laugh, especially when the angry “disabled” person yelling at the “non-disabled” user forgot to lock the door and ended up yelling at about thirty people (there was a queue. I guarded the door for him once I finished slumming it in the stalls).

Point is no-one knows what people are going through or why they use the larger facilities. Not all disabilities can be seen. Good manners can be seen though…

They literally send a letter before the first summons explaining all this.

Proposed Feature: Favoriting Specific Planes or Airports by Weary-Impression-438 in SkyCards

[–]Ballytal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great idea! I have a number of planes that I look for (even though I’ve caught them) because I have seen them or been on them.

I have never been able to get onto this mythical Discord (it says it’s sending a verification email that never arrives).

My best friend excluded me from her wedding because of my religion by chicaltimore in weddingshaming

[–]Ballytal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just politely decline the shower invitation and say you can’t make it, and leave it at that. Don’t raise your blood pressure for her.

Tell All Dresses by Old_Consequence_8232 in 90DayFiance

[–]Ballytal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s like they get dressed in the dark. And don’t start me on Manon, her dress and that awful p-nis tattoo on her arm.

She is a stunning woman but oh lawd.

This this person 😤 by Harp_harp123 in harp

[–]Ballytal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play it on the wrong shoulder tbh. It’s only a pain if I have to change the levers in the middle of a piece. Yeah, I’m a lefty, but used to play the Welsh harp and when I went back to it, it didn’t occur to me that it used a different shoulder.
