These are run by Flight Centre and their subsidiaries. Went to one about 3 years ago. No big deal...Everything on offer is purely for the benefit of the FC group.

Yep went a few years ago and didn't think much of it either.

Wet day so was wondering if anyone was going might do a Latte catch up.

But probably not going as still sitting on the lounge in my PJ's.

That would be an interesting sight in the OOL lounge. :mrgreen:

A great day in Sale today. 25deg, a light breeze and sitting by the lake for a fishing contest.
Granddaughter caught the first fish of the day and up until a few minutes ago grandson had the largest at 1kg. (Someone else just caught one at 4.1kg)
To top it off we just had a fly past by the RAAF Roulettes.

Do carp count, and is TNT allowed

The idea is to get as many carp out of the lake as possible.

Nobody has tried TNT so I'm s
not sure of the fine print on that.

It's ok. Nick Xenophon was denied entry....

See, even the Australian Federal Government wants Malaysia to keep this tool!

The federal government will continue demanding explanations from Malaysia after failing to convince authorities to let South Australian Senator Nick Xenophon stay in the country

Maybe a question best answered by the female fraternity here on AFF.

I want to gift Cruiserette a somewhat unique ticket wallet if I can find something suitable.

Would dearly love to find something's unique / distinctive if possible - must actually be ticket wallet and not oversized purse - maybe leather animal print or similar.

Suggestions ladies?

Kikki K has some nice leather travel wallets.

I was just about to say the same. Spencer and Rutherford also have some nice ones.

Oroton, Marcs & Saba also have decent quality ladies ticket wallets.

Never picked you as a risk taker!

All in the name of research for my fellow AFFers. I think the biggest risk was going into the Tiger terminal. Who knows what kind of people I might have been exposed to in there!

The image is pretty blurry on my phone. Was the desktop version of the site better, or have they changed the image?

But we don't want him back either.

He shouldn't be meddling with politics in another country. I wonder if he was on a diplomatic, official or ordinary passport. Could have In fluenced how he was dealt with.

And as for the first minister to be deported... meh. Someone has to get the title just like there was once a first pollie to have fraud allegations against them, theft charges against them, sexual misconduct charges against them etc etc.

He was there leading a parliamentary delegation including members of the national and liberal parties. Also he is not a minister, just a senator.

On the laptop the DOB, Passport number and place/date of issuance are clear.

Some media have reported it as a private trip but I doubt that as there is other Pollies suppose to be going over very soon.

IMHO he has annoyed someone with his views and they want to stop his points of view.

He loves a headline......I guess he's pretty happy with the outcome.
