    On the topic of buffets, what are they like for vegeterians? I'm one only because I really don't like the taste of any meat, so I'm not looking for any special dishes or anything, just wondering if there would be food I could eat that doen't have meat in it. I don't eat fish or chicken either, just incase anyone asks :)
    i have yet to meat a vegetarian american

    Alright here we go, but I warn you this will get gross!!!
    Traveled economy BA from T5 Heathrow. Used Sunny at parkatmyhouse who meets us at the airport and takes our car to his house, then meets us as again when we return, doddle for £40. We used online check in and had the boarding passes displayed on our iphones (via the BA app) so no need for any paper to remember. Flight left on time and was quite impressed with the Y product of the BA 777 aircraft (but this is changing to a 744 in June). Set in 3-3-3 pattern we decided to have middle isle so that we were never hemmed in or had to move for someone else. Seats were comfy, plenty of legroom, and it does not seem crowded like a Dumbo does. The cool headrests are a great plus. They have a cushioned flap either side of your head that comes down and locks in place allowing you to rest yourself against them when you want to sleep and not get the head slump and neck ache, thumbs up. IFE is AVOD with tons of new release films and old classics as well. Ours worked well but I tend to load up the iPad with films and shows to watch so didn't use it too much. Drinks service came around about 20 minutes after takeoff, with an edible dinner soon after. Trays were cleared away promptly. There is also a big shelf at the back stacked up with cookies, chocolate and crisps if you get the munchies.
    GROSS ALERT, READ NO FURTHER IF YOU ARE OF A SQUEMISH DISPOSITION!!
    About an hour into the flight the guy sat on the end of our set of 3 next to Tracy suddenly gets up and runs to the toilet, he comes back ashen faced and sits down. A minute later I am watching an episode of "Not going out" with Lee Mack and Tim Vine (brother of Jeremy from Radio 2) very whitty, anyway I am rambling. Suddenly I hear what sounds like a can of fizzy pop exploding and my iPad screan is covered in a sort of foam, except this "foam" has bits in it. I look to my right and there is Tracy covered in sick, I mean hair, shirt, face and hands!! She is screaming hysterically and crying uncontrollably. Ashen faced has projectile vomited right in her face!!! There was so much force in it that it got me and the person in the next isle over as well. Bedlem ensues and the guy is escorted to the loo while we try and clean ourselves off. Tracy has to dump her shirt and spend the rest of the trip in my suit jacket. The cabin crew try and clean the mess up best they can, I am trying to wipe sick out of my wife's hair, I heave and am sick in the airsick bag. We are forced to spend the rest of the trip in these seats as the plane is full. We get a whiff of sick every ten minutes or so, nice way to start off the trip.
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    Why didn't the idiot go back to the toilet before then. He must have felt it coming on, surely to goodness!

    Poor Tracey, (and you too) that must have been terrible.
