How many kids and teenagers are playing?

[Jona L.]

don't say nasty... rain is awesome(right word)/cool (if wrong)...

HURRICANE BILL. my front yard's tree was de-rooted! I don't think that was fun AT ALL.

as I said, not the Hurricane, but the rain!!!

[ICEcoldair881]

true....I looooove driving in the rain especially! windsheild wipers flashing from side to side....mmmmmmm.....

[Filippo]

I looove sleeping when it's raining outside

[samomuransky]

I love running from tram to KFC when raining

[Jona L.]

just chilling in the rain i.e. on a bench, and set up bets like:
who's wet till underwear first?
how long will it take raining this time?
etc.etc.etc.

well, or how about thunder/lightning??
I love it too, but it's that few days in a year with a thunderstorm
the only thing I don't like it is when it hits the high voltage cable, leading to our house, and killing my computer 
in all other aspects I love rain and thunderstorms

Rain is great until.. you are sitting on airport and looking for longer and longer delay for your flight.. That's one of things why I prefer trains on short routes.

[Jona L.]

okay... thats one of the only problems about rain... but mostly i don't think that it is the reason for the delay, but you can much easier say its the rains' fault, than to admit, that your pilot is drunk, and couldn't find the right plane, so he now flys another plane to JFK instead of flying your plane to ATL

Too be honest, I'm glad this is off topic now. This is what we wanted: A general forum for "whatever" talk.

The only other airlines I have flown with is probably Virgin Blue, and Jetstar. Most people groan and moan when they talk about Jetstar, but I don't mind it. There hasn't been one flight that I was really un-happy on...uh except the roaring engines on one of the 4 hour flights  I didnt have any sleep from 8 pm when it left to 10.30 pm when it arrived (Time difference - still 4 hr flight).
With Virgin blue though...they're a different story. Their cabin crew were disgusting and un-proffesional! My brother is disabled and he can't walk or talk, but we can take him on flights. Normally on Qantas they are treating him like he's the king, and they make us relax. Where as with Virgin, WE were told to grab their wheel chair, transfer it, then take him to the gate, and put us on board. NO help! Then on the flight we asked to have a harness so that he could be more comfortable. One of them said that they don't have harnesses (when they do, I saw it in the over-head carriage), so then we asked for pillows (on the beginning of the flight) they said that we shouldn't get other people's share of pillows so we werent allowed any. Instead we were given one blanket. I took my jumper off so that my disabled brother could have some support, and my other brother took his off too, we were cold, and we shared the one blanket...un-believeable right??

[Jona L.]

I'm sorry for you brother... honestly!

and this is relly insolent, of the the airline, that's where I am (and I think all others here are) on your side !!
good luck choosing the next flight!

going to bed now, nearly 2AM *yawn*
too bad... it's not rainnig outside, but luckily not inside
good night *smothering another yawn*

I really feel sorry for you, having to deal with that. If I was you, I would stand up to them and say "Listen, my BROTHER is disabled, and if you want me to fly again with you, which I do fly often, I suggest you help us, or i'm contacting Virgin Blue's customer relations and telling THEM that you treated a disabled person with no respect what so ever. Now unless your doing something, I don't want to see you or any other Flight Attendant for the rest of the flight." If they do anything, which most likely they WILL help you, tell your brother after that it was neccessary, even though you lied about flying frequently. It works, trust me!

Thanks everyone for your support, but it is very un-likely I will be flying on Virgin Blue again anyway. My dad often pays for flights with credit card, which is also part of Qantas - therefore he gets points for the payment. We did complain that morning -it was 12 am when we had arrived. My mum went absolutely off yelling at the customer service -  she was loud! I don't remember what she said they said, but I'm pretty sure they said something about that it wasn't a requirement for the airline to "look" after us. When I flew Qantas last, it was July and I was going from Brisbane - Canberra. We are always are at the check-in counter for a while - that's a given but they had someone take us from the check-in to the security then to gate. We were asked to wait until 10 minutes before actual time for us to board and then someone came to take us on board. We basically did nothing! That's how it should be with every airline, but for some reason, it happened with Virgin Blue.
But I'm pretty sure my family aren't the only ones that have experienced something like that with a airline. That's why we have favourites.

Qantas and QantasLink, and other airlines, are the way you should go. VBL is like Ryanair, sh**ty in every way!

Hi everyone, I'm 14, I was just wondering how many kids or teenagers are playing? I know some kids are playing and I think that it's cool. I mean this is ten times better than most video games, it's also, I think, more interactive and dare I say (why did I just say that?)... educational.

Im 16 going on 17...

[ICEcoldair881]

Haha nice! I almost freaked on an immigration officer in Nicaragua. He gave me and one of my buddies a hard time for not having the right paperwork WHICH WAS NOT returned to us (it was supposed to) when we entered the country.  Figured it out tho.

[Monk Xion]

I travelled 3 times with Aliatalia and please save me!

The first time, was a flight from Milan to Tokyo. Apart from the 2hrs delay because the plane apparently was missing all of it's crew, the rest was fine considered it was Alitalia. There were many Italian cabin attendants and 1 japanese one. Well, the Italian cabin attendants sat and chatted for all the fligh in business class (12 hrs, not joking) whilst the japanese cabin attendant did everything for all the 300 passengers on board!

On the return flight, there were no meals available so we ate aliatlia's famous brick-biscuits and various other snacks, chatting along with the crew which showed no intention of working.

The second flight was from Milan to Copenhagen and the cabin attendants asked us what we wanted to drink using rude slang language

And the last was a couple of days ago which was a Milan - Rome - Malta which, apart from a 1 hour delay at Rome and an unadvised gate change in Milan, was fine.


I Love Lufthansa

United is worse. American is close to being as bad. In my opinion tho...

Delta is the best in my opinion. I had Touch Screen IFE on a recent flight to Managua, Nicaragua. It was awesome! had satilite tv, games, etc.

[Monk Xion]

OK, I'm idiot Also here, they sell alcohol to anyone, but I would never break a law in this. So, since October, I'm going drink to Austria where it's legal. Next village is actually in Austria and there is bus every hour for 75 cents
Well, this morning I used german train (EC Jan Jesenius from Budapest to Hamburg) between Bratislava and Brno (Moravia) and that was terrible - you don't have power sockets in trains??? To be honest we also don't have in 2nd class, but now in new carriages they are installed. And in Austria they are in every long-distance train!
For EU travelling you need ID card, outside EU passport. You can travel to US with STANDARD PASSPORT, but need visa. If you have biometric passport, you can travel just with ESTA (applicable for SELECTED COUNTRIES ONLY). In Slovakia you can have only biometric passport which cost 33 EUR - I think (more if you want it faster - for 33 EUR you get it in 30 days, however, my was made in one weekend since there wasn't many orders that time.. Here, when your passport is ready to pickup you'll get SMS information).

I could have bought  alcohol in Nicaragua... on the street. But i didnt of course.
