Some interesting discussion...

Today i went with my clients for a dinner get together in an interesting restaurant called Lanterns - One interesting place I like in Bahrain.

During the dinner there were lot of topics discussed from cricket to soccer, from indian movies to the local arabian folk dances.

The host being an Australian, we ended up in discussing what Australians are favourite of.

1. Cricket Australia
2. Kangaroo
3. Qantas.

QANTAS - The official airlines of Australia. It is an acronym for "Queensland And Northern Territory Aerial Services".

The first services provided by QANTAS was not by plane, but by car. They were serving as cargo transporters between the coasts of Australia.

Observations

• The data elements in the first ticket issued by Qantas is the same in the e-ticket that are issued now.
• The data columns in the log book of the first flight is the same as the data entered in the recent electronic sign-off sheet.
• Irrespective of the technology used to store the data, the data remains the same.
  

Trivia
In the movie Rain Man [1988], Dustin Hoffman will also give a trivia that, Qantas never had an accident. Not sure if this still true in 2006.

thats all folks, in the remaining time between these discussions, i had a sumptuous lunch and for the first time tried the fried icecream with coconut - yummy, it was nice :-)
