The Wheelie Saga Continues......

Apparently, one of our esteemed colleagues on a ZRH layover took his wheelie in to Wenger themselves to have a wheel fixed and was promptly shown the door "because it is a 'copy' ".... You couldn't make this stuff up!

Luckily for TCAS and EK UAE law says that it's only illegal to sell counterfeit goods, buying is OK.

headsets

Those TV headsets are wired backwards.... Left is right and vice versa.
The car on the screen drives to the left but the sound fades to the right.
As with everything here, cheap crap looks good but doesn't stand up to the quality test.


It's not surprising the wenger w*nk*r wheels are fake too.

And here I thought that I was the only damaged soul who was sufficiently anal to notice that headset feature. I feel a little less lonely.

It features on EVERY EK airplane I've ever been on. If you hazard a guess at what a first class suite costs to install, the inattention to detail is breathtaking.

The headset design is deliberate guys! Because the airline is a service based one, the headsets are designed so that cabin crew place them on your head correctly! The "L" and "R" are correct from their viewpoint!
