Ha! Kenya! I used to support their operations in Deepest Darket Africa when they still flew Tristars. I’ve seen their... maintenance standards... up close. I never got so much as a deadhead flight with them for that reason.
Jambo, m'suri sanna! (Spelling?)
Had a Tusker or two myself there
....and as for Eithiopian, I well remember one of their 707s back in 80/81 had the perfect imprint of a chimp on the trailing edge flaps. ....now that's what I call a bit low over the trees hahaha..... poor sod was probably minding his own business munching some fruit on the top of a tree...... thwack....

The big joke is that everyone who didn't travel was jealous of you and thought you were living the life of Reilly!
Same as that...Eek. I get this from the missus. “Oh you’re off on a jolly again”...

After only a few days of hotel food, I'm dreaming of simple stuff like bangers and mash or egg on toast....
That is so true.... and after flying around the world for 28 hours to get home and pretty tired of my "luxurious" life, I really looked forward to things like bangers and bacon sarnies etc. But SWMBO came up with "Now you're home, shall we go out for a meal, I haven't been out for ages.... ?"..... It was very difficult (and more than my job's worth!) not to say that I was suffering in order to treat her to a meal out!
I've had that this week,....“It’s alright for you, you get to jet off...”
