Confirmed dates and bad karaoke joint
I've got my non-refundable, non-exchangeable, once-you-give-us-your-money-you-have-no-rights tickets to Helsinki today.
So...
Melbourne 23:30 12th July --> Bangkok 05:50 13th July (TG0980)
Bangkok 01:10 30 July --> London Heathrow 07:15 30 July (TG0910)
London 12:35 30 July --> Helsinki 17:30 30 July (BA0794)
That's the plan... I hope it makes all parties reasonably happy. The Reames (my friends in Exeter) unfortunately have to wait, but, well, what's another year or two after all those years?

On another note, however, the last weekend marked the last time I'll see Kenny for a while. He's gotten a job in Singapore, and is going away there. To mark the occasion, we all got together for dinner and then karaoke. *GRIN*
We had a great time, but all I can say is that do not EVER go to K-BOX near the corner of Lonsdale and Russel streets. I've never seen worse customer service in my life. When faced with dissatisfied customers, the response offered by TEK (the guy behind the counter) was "I don't have to explain anything to you - That's just the way it is." And then he just ignored us for a while, until we showed no signs of relenting. At the end of the day, it wasn't about how much money we were going to save or not save - it was about the fact that K-BOX and their duty manager at the time, TEK, made it quite clear that they did not care a damn what their customers thought about their standard of service, even to the extent of blatantly saying "You don't have to come back. I don't care."
Highly NOT recommended!
Pictures to be posted... for now, look at the ones on Catherine's blog
