Love the New York Fish & Chips at Fish & Co, awesome stuff.Flight was both wonderful and terrible. Wonderful not just because i have just discovered the wonders of the personal entertainment system, but also because the food was pretty good, seats were pretty comfortable, service was good and hostesses were yum yum.

Other than the severely traumatized people who get recurring nightmares, for the most of us we usually get a different dream every time we sleep. For those who claim that they don't dream coz they don't remember their dreams i'll say screw off, u DO dream and if u've been having the same dreams every night u'd remember them.
