  A bit too early in the evening to be hung over, don't you think?  

  Perhaps, but I'm exhausted and the Brothers toffee cider that others rave about is not doing my head any favours.

  And probably in an all-economy configuration with 10-abreast seating. Elbow room be screwed! 

  I'll be damned if that's what I have to put up with that for 7 hours.

  not too sure

  but Scoot's market is mid haul flights

  According to Wiki, the economy cabins of Scoot's 777s will be configured as 3-4-3. Even for short-haul flights, that's waaaay too narrow on a 777.

  My most recent trip to Japan was on an American Airlines 777 configured as 2-5-2 in economy, and even that was a tortuous 13-hours.

  wanted to take the CCL go HBF during the day of the disruption but in the end, I changed my mind & took svc 65 instead..

  Catharsis is employed to a high degree in soaps and dramas. The absurdity of the plot and the weeping and shouting are used to stir extreme emotions in the viewer.
