I think you've discovered an extraordinarily good excuse for not buying your girl friend an upgrade, much as you might want to. Perhaps though you could offer to buy her a whole row for herself in economy thereby ensuring that she can stretch her gorgeous body out in slumber land while you suffer the pangs of unrequited love, lobster and potential food poisoning in business. It almost goes without saying that you slum it down the back from time to time in order to ply her with the liquid stuff and reassure her that you were not eating oysters with a hostess or should I say stewardess? One never knows these days what people want to be called.
Incidentally and by way of a tangent, if there are to be yellow cards, which is a very sporting idea, then may we the players, have a relative ground rule please?
I dug the following out from the usual orifice and would appreciate further guidance before I inadvertently transgress.
Thank you.
(In most tournaments, the accumulation of a certain number of yellow cards over several matches results in disqualification of the offending player for a certain number of subsequent matches, the exact number of cards and matches varying by jurisdiction. In the UEFA Champions League, for instance, accumulating two yellow cards in a stage of the tournament will lead to a one-game suspension. In such situations players have been known to deliberately incur a second booking in a tournament when the following game is of little importance, deliberately resetting their yellow card tally to zero for subsequent games. However, while technically within the laws of the game, this is considered unsportsmanlike conduct, and UEFA has launched an investigation resulting in fines or suspensions.)
Edited to include the Business Class International menu from my usual airline:
Enjoy a special dinner prepared by a Dutch top chef* and served on tableware created by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders. You create your own dinner from the options available:
Choice of cold starter or vegetarian soup.
Choice of several main dishes, tailored for the time of day.
Choice of several desserts, including pie, fresh fruit and a selection of cheeses, accompanied by a glass of port or dessert wine.
I don't remember seafood as being a usual addition anywhere although the people do seem to love smoked salmon even if it is farmed and full of disease.
I certainly wouldn't eat seafood on any airliner at any time anywhere.
