Twitter won't allow me (successfully) add to this thread anymore. Possibly because the guy who built my car is now in charge. This is not a conspiracy. It's just that my car breaks down a lot so I'm not surprised that "X" does too.

QatarEnergy Statement on Missile Attacks on its LNG Facilities In addition to the previous attack on Ras Laffan Industrial City on Wednesday 18 March 2026 that resulted in extensive damage to the Pearl GTL (Gas-to-Liquids) facility, QatarEnergy confirms that in the early hours of Thursday 19 March 2026, several of its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities were the subject of missile attacks, causing sizeable fires and extensive further damage. Emergency response teams were deployed immediately to contain the resulting damage with no reported casualties. QatarEnergy will continue to communicate the latest available information. #Qatar

@chilloutman92 We didn’t land in Dubai.

@KarlBrophy No but at landing at Dubai they check the plane don’t they ???

Was supposed to wake up on approach to Dubai.

@jwalkermobile @AndrewDowson Was in the air Sunday night into Monday when the fuel storage thing was hit. Woke up (no announcement) to find us facing the wrong way.

@KarlBrophy @AndrewDowson What happened?

Flying into a war zone eating caviar and drinking fine vintage champagne, what’s the craziest thing you’ve done? 🤪 #YouAreOnlyHereOnce

@AndrewDowson @jwalkermobile I had the Corton on Sunday night on my 10 and a bit hour flight to nowhere. Too much new oak in it for my taste but pleasant.

@ANiNuanain @emirates @FlySWISS @lufthansa @British_Airways Glad to be of service. There seems to be quite a bit of victim blaming going on.

@KarlBrophy @emirates @FlySWISS @lufthansa @British_Airways The replies entertained me for about two hours, so I think your sacrifice was worth it tbh.

@TimeSlipsOn Going to turn on monetisation for the return journey.

@KarlBrophy If this is a ragebait it's incredibly well done.

@chilloutman92 Were they supposed to throw me out over Egypt?

@KarlBrophy It’s fake they don’t let someone just stay on the plane makes no sense

@emirates @FlySWISS @lufthansa @British_Airways I know millions of you are very concerned. But I made it. After 40 hours. 25 hours of flying. Happy St Patrick’s Day from Hong Kong.

@emirates @FlySWISS @lufthansa @British_Airways The poor Georgian air traffic controllers have been working overtime for the last while.

@zebilha Eh, I did not. I tried through Zurich and then London. Successfully.

@kdknapp3 @Clearpreso You didn’t invent English. And much as I have issues with them, you can spell everything their way.

@KarlBrophy @Clearpreso Yeah, sorry, we invented this one, so you can spell it our way.

@Extrodinarily @getrealTim @Clearpreso Cathay Pacific goes direct from multiple locations in Europe. There’s no need to go west. There were no flights that worked available yesterday though. And I don’t really have the free time. But tomorrow is a public holiday for me so a bit more time than normal.

@KarlBrophy @getrealTim @Clearpreso Look. If you have the disposable income (which it seems you do) and the free time (which you clearly do). I highly suggest traveling west instead of east. Go around the other side of the world. Take Dublin to New York. Then take Cathay Pacific, direct, New York to Hong Kong.

@Extrodinarily @getrealTim @Clearpreso Oh, trust me, I do, Doug. But I also need to travel.

@KarlBrophy @getrealTim @Clearpreso Hey man, for the price of that plane ticket, you could just buy the wine and enjoy it on the ground...

@kdknapp3 @Clearpreso That’s what they’re called, buddy. I didn’t want to make a big deal out of correcting you. But you brought it back up.

@KarlBrophy @Clearpreso "aeroplane" Okay, buddy.

@kdknapp3 @Clearpreso It’s not aeroplane wine. It’s wine. That happens to be on an aeroplane. It’s very serious.

@KarlBrophy @Clearpreso You talk about airplane wine, but WE are the ones not to be taken seriously. LOL.

@getrealTim @Clearpreso You really want the last thing you drink to be a Portuguese Cabernet when Emirates have Haut Brion 2009 and 2005?

@KarlBrophy @Clearpreso Let me get blown up by a missile real quick just so I can enjoy nicer plane wine

@Clearpreso By people who have no idea how much better the Emirates wine list is than every other wine list in the air. Not opinions I would be taking very seriously.

@KarlBrophy Karl, I'm afraid you are getting absolutely cooked in the quote tweets
