DOWNLOADABLES #63 / I Heard It Through The Grapevine

My Wagamama is on the way, and the Kaiser Chiefs are back on my soundsystem. This time with a cover song of iconic Marvin. Marvin Gaye precisely. The Kaiser Chiefs aren’t new. They’ve done 3 albums so far and planning a European tour for March 2009. I saw these guys in Paris a few years [...]

Airboy in 40 questions

It seems it’s an ongoing trend amongst FA bloggers to answer the almighty forty. 40 questions that people will generally ask you. After reading Another Passport Stamp I thought I could do it. But lazy as I am, I took pictures instead… where applicable. The result follows :
1.Which airline is lucky enough to employ you?

2.What [...]

November : Glasgow, Jakarta and Shanghai [updated].

Nothing much to add for today. I will be mopping a water leak from the A/C and maybe going to MOEs. It’s an exilirating day off really ! I finally got my ass sat in a Jumpseat yesterday for a DAMn (Damascus) flight. Waited 6 hours before I got the call and then worked for [...]

Friendly Fires

I was meant to post that a few weeks before my leave but didn’t get round it as I was listening to some 90s crap instead, you know like Gina G – “Ooh Ahh Just A Little Bit” one of the UK Eurovision contestants back in the days. But as I have bags of time [...]

Retro. Old pictures come back to life !

Like I said in my last post, I decided to smuggle some old pictures from Paris to Dubai because Kalil just got a new printer-scanner and having them transfered from paper to digital is way cooler. Now I can share stuff from the past… After installing a truck load of apps to run the beast [...]

Gimme Juicy Beef ! Pictured description of the french population

I left Paris today. Spent another fortune on cabs for the airport. And I’m now sat in 49 Echo. The middle seat. Meaning you have to be very polite to your neighbouring passengers. No farts, no elbow fights, no eating like a pig, get out of the seat when your neighbour goes for a pee [...]

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

Before you carry on reading, please immerse yourself with the track that played non-stop all along my Paris By Night trek :

Phil Collins – In The Air Tonight
With not much happening on a Sunday night in Paris, I decided to share my Paris By Night experience. I ventured out in the cold wearing no less [...]

French bitch and whine like no other

Before I go anywhere with my ramble, I’d like to thank Heather for posting an entire post about me (really bad for my ego). You too look good misses ! Heather is a flight attendant for a major US carrier and also has a blog. She discovered through her website statistic that many, many people [...]

Paris, Parisians, Smoothies, Ecology, Music.

Good to ride those heavy bikes again. I miss my green [...]

Subload or how to stress like a Blackberryless executive

Expert in Hindi culture & glamourous Dubai

Yesterday was my one and only flight so far in October. In other words I will have to eat pasta to keep my body working next month. And to no one’s surprise, I was rostered in the afternoon for a Bombay turnaround which of course I predicted two days prior. That was when I checked [...]

Airboy pranks his flatmate

With no idea what to do on my day off… This is the only thing I could think off. I spent way too much money yesterday so I had to be cost effective today. Not only did I recycle old newspaper, I also had a giggle doing that. Now Kalil, my flatmate, will come back [...]

Things I’ve learnt today.

Bats always turn left when exiting a cave. It was a common agreement to avoid midflight collisions. Polar bears cover their black nose when they go hunting, so that they’re not seen when the prey turns back to check if followed. A mule won’t sink in quicksand but a donkey will. Elephant are the only [...]
