  <description><![CDATA[Got back to Heathrow from Taiwan last night. Didn't get <a title="Deep Vein Thrombosis">DVT</a>, didn't get <a title="Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome">SARS</a> and didn't get much <a title="Nap, sleep, whatever...">NAP</a>! This was perhaps partly because I did actually have a bit of a cough and agitating my nervous neighbours with spluttering fits was quite amusing. But I'm shattered now. I see this whole <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2892837.stm">SARS</a> business has finally made the news over here. Loads of people were wearing face masks on my flight with good ol' Eva Air. Well, I just thought Phuket. You see, I made an observation that <a href="http://www.phuketairlines.com/">Phuket Airlines</a> as far as I could tell didn't have any people in their lounges with face masks. Actually I think they're too small an airline to afford lounges... passengers are probably just bussed on board. But I mean, I share their point of view, those face masks probably don't help to prevent SARS at all. And they definitely would cause people's glasses to fog up. Walking into walls is a bit dangerous isn't it? <br />
<br />
I like the Phuket world view. I could almost create an advertising campaign for them (if they could be bothered to have one). No pretty pictures, just text. Even though I can't write those squiggly lines, in English it'd be something like this -<br />
<br />
<blockquote><b>Go from A to B with Phuket Airlines!<br />
<br />
All of us here are followers of the "Phuk Way".</b><br />
<br />
<b>Phuk check-in</b> - No need to check-in! And don't worry about Phuket-ting the tickets. Buy for cash at the cabin door!<br />
<br />
<b>Phuk safety</b> - We pick someone with good hand-eye-coordination from you lucky lot to be pilot for the trip! And cabin attendants are chosen by a quick popularity contest whilst taking off!<br />
<br />
<b>Phuk luxury and style</b> - Share floorspace and chitchat with the 799 other Phuket passengers strapped in with you! No chairs nor toilets means more Phuket friends!<br />
<br />
<b>Phuk food</b> - The Phuk experience is such that you won't even have an appetite! Every Baht not spent on sickbags is a Baht off your Phuk boarding <a href="http://stamp.omani.ac">stamp</a>! Who would want scolding hot coffee spilt all over you anyway?<br />
<br />
<b>Phuk films</b> - Every trip is a drama of its own!<br />
<br />
Phuket!</blockquote><br /><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/Taiwan" rel="tag">Taiwan</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/DVT" rel="tag">DVT</a>, <a href="http://www.nimisis.com/tags/Sars" rel="tag">Sars</a>]]></description>
