Sad to hear Anthony Head has passed away.
The Gold Blend โwill they, wonโt theyโ ad campaign was a cultural phenomenon, an ongoing saga that lasted for 6 years, captivating audiences of 30 million. The inevitable kiss even made front page news. A landmark TV moment.
RIP Anthony
When Trump was in Berlin for his first state visit with Angela Merkel he asked the secret of her great success.
Merkel told him you have to have intelligent people around you.
"How do you know if someone is intelligent?" asked Trump.
"Let me demonstrate." She picked up the phone, called Wolfgang Schรคuble and asked him a question, "Mr. Schรคuble, heโs your father's son but not your brother. Who is it?"
Without hesitation Schรคuble answered, โQuite simply, it's me!"
"You see," Merkel told Trump, "this is how I test a personโs intelligence."
Thrilled, when Trump flew home he called Mike Pence and asked him the same question. โHeโs your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?"
After much back and forth, Pence said,
โI have no idea, but Iโll try to find out the answer by tomorrow!"
Of course Pence couldnโt figure it out and decided to seek advice from former President Obama, so he called him and said, โMr. Obama, it's your father's son, but is not your brother. Who is it?"
Obama answered, โEasy, it's me!"
Happy to have found the answer, Pence called Trump and said triumphantly, "I have the answer, it's Barack Obama!"
Trump raged and shouted, "No, you jackass, it's Wolfgang Schรคuble!"
@gotravelyourway Might be controversial but downstairs on the A380 still feels the best to me.. vertical walls mean the cabin space is unreal and you donโt feel cramped at all.. also the smooth, quiet ride is way less tiring than the smaller options..having said that the A350 comes a close second
@Ajarncom I prefer travelling that way as 12-14 hours in economy is stupidly uncomfortable. The half way break is very much needed. Our Qatar flight home was cancelled.. still came back with Etihad yesterday.. excellent service too
I know thereโs a lot going on at the moment.. but I want to say that @qatarairways are awful - they say to contact them to rearrange and cancelled flight.. but when youโve tried every which way and still canโt talk to anyone.. thatโs poor
