The totally off-topic thread

Absolutely!

I started taking up this mantra 3-4 yrs and everyone area of my life, physical and mental has improved.

I decided a few years ago that 4 weeks/year or even 6 weeks/year annual leave was insufficient. I take between 9-10 weeks/year. If I continue working I may increase the leave I take each year.

And as I tell my (stoic, selected) patients when discussing their health- I'm here to help you, but at most, only one person in this room truly cares if you have a heart attack, so you have to do something to help yourself too.

Penegal you can beat this health issue if you stop and take time to manage it. No need to have a tombstone that says you worked too hard. Always remember life is not a dress rehearsal.

Seems it has been fixed ...

'twas biggish news today ...

not sure why people continue to use virgin/ Optus etc. I noticed Vodafone is now claiming to cover 96% of Australia in their TV ads today.

Is that the same "96% coverage" load of bollocks that Optus was harping on about before they were pulled up by the ACCC?

It's getting difficult to find a decent mobile carrier out there.

My Virgin contract is finishing in about a month's time. No more handset payments and presumably I move to a month to month thing with my current plan until I pull the plug. Where should I go?

Go to Telstra. Presumably Vodafone will get a please explain. Daughter went to mt isa ... No Vodafone coverage there

Vodafone, Optus and Telstra are too expensive.

And the thing about getting what you pay for shouldn't be in play here.

More importantly, does she play golf??

Heads up about program changes

More importantly than even that, does she support him playing golf. My wife is concerned if I don't play 10+ times a year with my social golf club + friends.

The last article I saw a few days ago said x% of the Australian population, rather than x% of Australia.

TV today, % of Australia.

TV today, % of Australia.

In my very urban section of Perth, Vodafone reception was so bad 3 years ago that we terminated the contract 5 months in.

Thought they'd improved things so bought a new iPhone with them. Lasted 2 weeks. Reception is possibly even worse than before, to be honest.

I don't think she would be a golf widow.

TV today, % of Australia.

The current ad, chimpanzee on a segway etc, is 96% of Australians. The 'ns' at the end is small but significant.

My nephew was with Vodafone. He lives in Perth. He was calling them because their network was dreadful and had called them several times to complain but the line kept dropping out. Eventually Vodafone contacted the secondary phone on the account (nephews father) and the Vodafone person complained to his father that they were trying to speak with my nephew but the phone connection was just too bad and they'd given up. Umm yes. That was why my nephew was trying to call them.

Aren't you going to coughet next month? Are you going to be in Bangkok at all? We are going to be in Bangkok a couple of days on 07 June and then 11-12 June. If you are in Chiang Mai on 03 June you are welcome to come to the engagement party.

Congratulations JohnK,

I'll talk to you sometime soon as we may just be able to do the engagement party.
