I had some bad comments following my video on Capt Lobster. I deleted most of them. I think the commenters were cockpit crew. They claimed I was biased to back the IFS who hid the lobster from the capt! They told me I should not backed a liar...haha...

Dr Lee Wei Ling the daughter of the late SG PM Lee Kuan Yew passed away yesterday aged 69. RIP Dr Lee.
Many years ago I had Dr Lee on my flight. During transit in HK she went for a jog escorted by a few bodyguards.
Dr. Lee was an unassuming passenger and it was an honour to have served her.
S. Iswaran was sentenced to 12 month jail starting 7 Oct 2024. My take is that he will be released after 8 months because the Conditional Remission Order may applied to his case. He is lucky not to share his cell with other prisoners due to his ex position. However, the toilet in his cell is a squatting type and he is also given 2 blankets and a mat to sleep on. No bed will be provided.
You are not totally correct. Actually most crew dont like to gather for a meal. We are compelled and obliged to go. Plus why die die must eat at Earls court and bayswater etc when there are thousands of outlets availavble.its a kind of mental sickness. When i mention breakfast at earls court, most crew give me a kind of wierd look. They have never been there before or hear before..
My reply:
Maybe you are talking about the recent crew. I am talking about my time perhaps 30 to 40 years ago when we were staying at the Gloucester Hotel. Those days the crew did not have social media platform like TikTok, FB etc. In fact we did not even have mobile phone. So we liked to meet for meals and drinks. Of course, even during those time we had crew who did not like to socialise with their colleagues but far and few.
Yes you are right to say there are many places to go to. In the blog I was trying to bring back the fond memories of the days gone by whereby we usually meet for meals and drinks and chit chat.
SIA is still recruiting cabin crew from SG and MY. The website is at https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/us/careers/cabin-crew-career/
I think the airline is still short of local cabin crew. It is currently not employing crew from other countries. However, I don't understand why only SG and MY only?
