@KeruboSk What was the airline?

My husband and I booked a flight months in advance for our honeymoon. We booked 4A and 4C in First Class so we could talk, relax, and celebrate. We board the plane, get to row 4, and there is already a woman sitting in my seat, 4C. My husband politely looks at her and says, "Oh, hi, sorry, I think you might be in my wife's seat." The woman looks up, sighs dramatically, and says, "The gate agent moved her. I need this seat because of my medical condition. She's in 12D." 12D is Comfort Plus. Not First Class. I immediately look at my phone—sure enough, the airline app had refreshed while we were walking down the jet bridge and changed my seat without a single notification or warning. My husband instantly flagged down the lead flight attendant. He explained that we paid thousands for these specific seats for our honeymoon, and I was absolutely not moving to a lower class because someone else made a last-minute demand at the gate. The flight attendant went to speak to the woman, who instantly started crying, claiming we were "harassing" her. The flight attendant then turned to my husband and whispered, "Can't you just be a gentleman so we can take off on time?" The sheer audacity. My husband stood his ground. "If she has a medical need for First Class, she can buy a First Class ticket. Give my wife her seat back, or get the supervisor down here right now." They eventually moved the woman back to her original seat in coach, but for the rest of the flight, the flight attendant completely penalized us. She ignored our drink orders and literally slammed our snack baskets onto our trays. Sorry for wanting the seat we actually paid for, I guess?

@MichaelLynchy AFL - bunch of wokes!

Did Melbourne footy club change its name? Just watching the Dogs v Demons, and it is constantly being referred to as Narm. Is this now an official change?

@ThoNg676733 Was dear Olivia miming that?

Every male who was a teenager in the 70’s knows this is Olivia Newton John! We all had a crush on her!❤️

@MelbunMan @GetOn78 Absolutely pathetic! Zerafa, in particular, couldn’t pick his own nose. Makes one wonder if these blokes are on pay day loans! Or, are they leading us all astray on purpose??

Some more of @GetOn78 crew. This format was a new innovation this week.

@puntingbattler Wish he would stop crying! It’s getting embarrassing.

impossible not to admire & like this champion of our sport

@RacingTV @OsborneSaffie @WorldPool @nickluck Come out to Australia again Saffie, because you CAN ride!

@SandyXiaotong Sick of hearing about his upbringing!

I GREW UP IN PUBLIC HOUSING: In Victoria’s Labor conference, Anthony Albanese defended his disastrous budget by saying he grew up in public housing with his single mum.

@JamieMagill5 Yes, pretty good but I can go back much further! The teams of the late 50’s thru the 60’s and 70’s I reckon couldn’t be matched. Some really great household names. When the County Championship meant something!

Lancashire is my home county; and here is my favourite XI since I started watching in the late 80s ❤️ 🌹 🏏 Only one overseas player allowed 👍 Atherton, Fowler, Crawley, Fairbrother, Law, Flintoff, Wasim, Watkinson, Hegg, Chapple, Anderson

@ahleach Why?

@MelbunMan They’re all bloody hopeless. Best to judge your own opinions.

There were mug punters at the Barwon Heads pub yesterday that would have creamed this lot. I have done a rough equal ew for Gray & Gately but Maxworthy 👎.

@IncrediblyBozza Good!

According to internal Labor polling, Jacinta Allan is in danger of losing her seat. #auspol #springst

@Gosstradamus1 Unbelievable! Whoever is in charge of production at Sky has no idea of what the punters require.

Nothing like Romantic Warrior sharing a split screen with Sale dog dividends and Launceston trots circling up for the entire Hong Kong race 🤦‍♂️

@TimEdwardsSA @theGreatTipOff @SkyRacingAU Marvellous, and you’re a great racecaller as well!

@Keir_Starmer And what do you say about attacks on Jews, Mr Starmer?

I condemn the deadly attack on a mosque in San Diego. My thoughts are with those affected. I know many Muslims in the UK will be shaken by this, worried about their safety when going about their lives and attending mosque, and what it says about the times we’re living in. I understand those fears. Violence like this does not happen in a vacuum. It grows in an environment where division and anti-Muslim hostility are normalised. That is intolerable. We must all come together against it.

@PeterLawrence18 Unbelievable!

Seven runners in the doomben cup, with $12,000 paid down to tenth. 🤷‍♂️

@racingblogger Healthy breakfast Stephen!

Rate my Irish Fry Up out of 10 boys? €20 unlimited buffet. UNBELIEVABLE! 🍳

@Young_Tories This is just soooooo good!

Kemi’s side eye aged unbelievably well 😭

@FootballInT80s When the FA Cup meant something, and played in a wonderful stadium!

It’s impossible to overstate my love for the FA Cup in this era — and this match. On 16/05/1987, I was nearly 10, a fan of neither club, but that day is etched in my memory. Iconic kits, brilliant players, and a ding-dong match, all played out in the Wembley sunshine on that unique-looking pitch. The FA Cup was so special.

@7horseracing @RachelK11 @SnowdenRacing1 Took him long enough to spot Miss Freelove!

MISS FREELOVE IN THE FINAL STRIDE 💥 Rachel King hugs the fence and wins the Denise's Joy! @rachelk11 @snowdenracing1

@blake_shinn What sort of people are running racing in Victoria? First they get the Vet position wrong(heads should roll), and now they offload Alf M ! What a disgrace. And both Guaci and Alf M told to reapply for their jobs! The people who should go are the ones at the top.

Alf Matthews was there when I first started my apprenticeship and was big help to my early development. Not many better out there to help young riders. #unbelievable
