    Also: BA's business (aka club europe) lounge in Heathrow T5 is excellent, but Moscow's equivalent is tulip

    And I still need a bloody sofa!

      I've got a really nice chair - bought it many years ago but it was not in use in old place

      Going to hunt sofas next month - given 3 month delivery tulip one should turn up right for my birthday in late May

        I'm having a closing down sale. All stock must go.

          Do you sell sofas?

          We bought one for office on ebay 18 months ago - it's a perfect sofa for office: not looks ok, and not actually comfy enough to sit on it for longer than 5 mins. I suspect I actually bought it from you - at least the bloke who delivered it matches your description

            Was it 100% leather. If so and then person looked like a young Brad Pitt mixed with Arnie then it could have been me.

            If it was some cheap DFS tulipe though it was probably Dimprawn.

              How do you get inside BA business lounge? Isn't it better to just dawdle round the duty free shops and then grab a pint in the bar to kill time? I quite like the Fosters Bar in Moscow Airport.

                Lots of ways...

                Do a lot of flights with BA and get a frequent flyer pass.

                Book first class seats.

                Buy one of those lounge passes like PriorityPass.

                Or fly with someone with access to the lounge.

                  Or is it something based around:

                  Spasibo za infu, davai poka, udachi vam...

                  Showing off my Russian skills, some colloquial stuff in there, spotted a PM role in Moskva, EU2500 a day, I could be a PM for that.

                  What's a PM do, then?

                      Yep - I also found the BA lounge at T5 good - very spacious, good food and no bl00dy kids running around!

                      Sometimes better than the destination!!
