The totally off-topic thread

Or Keith ?

Probably good to move back to Sydney before the office gets burnt down.

Oh and that's enough GoT talk people. I won't get to watch until the weekend.

Sorry but it was one of them episodes...

Have fun watching it

My son was wowed by it too.

Japan is creating a bit of an impression with my youngest son. He has had his wallet stolen together with his I Phone (which incidentally does not reset onto the Japanese system). The MasterCards only worked at the airport.
I think he may need to wash dishes to get by this week. This is a really good test for a twenty one year old.

Surprising I've always thought they were ok although $70 for an Aussie steak did seem like daylight robbery last time I was there

You are Gareth aren't you?

Not until he sets up an Invetigation room...

You are Gareth aren't you?

Who is Gareth?

Like I said before JK, our office is built around sharing. The business owns the stationery. Although for convenience everyone has their own laptop.

That is good of you to do that for your business.

Some businesses realise that some people do not like sharing with other people. There is no right or wrong on which opinion one holds and not nice to make fun of someone for daring to have an opinion on the matter.

As I said earlier where do you draw the line?

 

[SeatBackForward]

Who is Gareth?

Someone who contemplates if a child will ever be born who can swim faster than a shark.

And that was relevant to my post?

Yes. It tells you a little something about Gareth, and its also completely off-topic!

Bought an Aussie steak in Aussie recently? $70 isn't that wide of the mark.....

This man lost a leg and thought he might sell an old Indian blanket that he inherited from his family.

Watch the auction story! This is a wonderful 'rags-to-riches' story!

I'll admit to tearing up at the end - a deserving outcome.

Was looking at buying a Golf since they have been great as rentals, however the way Volkswagen treats anyone who finds fault with their product has put me off:

Unhappy driver says Volkswagen threatened his job

Volkswagen Australia did not return Fairfax Media's calls on Monday. The company has pulled much of its advertising from across Fairfax Media following reports on the problems with the cars' sudden deceleration.
Almost 100 people have come forward to confirm they experienced sudden power loss while driving Volkswagens, particularly Golfs, Passats and Polos. Of the 92 who contacted Fairfax Media, many were driving automatics, but about 10 per cent were driving manuals - the type of car Melissa Ryan died in. Her family and the truck driver who hit her believe the car suffered a sudden loss of power. The coroner will hand down her finding on Ms Ryan's death next month

I wont take the Golf!

 

[Skyring]

I wont take the Golf!

I have been more than happy with mine. The only complaint is that reversing uphill can be tricky.

As to losing power, I wonder about these things.

The link doesn't work for me LW. Can you re-post it as I love a good tear jerker ?

Nah. That's cool. My SiL has let slip a few things about stuff and has read the books. So I'm just waiting for what she told me to happen.

My predictions, based only on speculation from watching the TV series, is that John snow and brand will both be able to ride dragons.

I also constantly remember that the author is not getting any younger and he still has a number of books to write. In the series. So we could very much be left with an unfinished work.

The more I think about this, the more you might be right.

Perth

Hippo Creek Meat and Wine - Subiaco | Urbanspoon


Melbourne

The Meat & Wine Co Hawthorn East - Camberwell - Hawthorn East | Urbanspoon


Service at both was up to the usual Australian standard

Done. Link in the original post works now for me.

It tells me nothing about Gareth.

It does tell me something about some people though but I better stop now as it is not worth a holiday.
