The totally off-topic thread

[Keith009]

A few electives I had for LLB included take home final exams where the exam paper was given on Friday and the answers had to be returned the following Monday. So technically this is a 72hour exam! And of course I never had any assistance

Plus our sit-down exams were of 3hrs duration and open book. Its not what you could remember but more of your application of the theory / principles to your answer.

Yeah all my Law ones have been open book, except for "History and Philosophy of Law" in first year, on which I employed all my bull****ting skills as I would in any BA exam.

I've only ever had 2 take home exams - one was for Contracts which was pretty easy, wrote it up like 2 hrs before it's due. The other was for Evidence - that one killed me, 11 000 words in 4 days. :shock:

We need to integrate one of those threads on FT OMNI where it's all .

Unfortunately we're limited to six graphics/emoticons per post, so that doesn't work out nicely.

Hey, there's an idea :idea:! Post something that makes you go

I was hoping to get on the A380 to Los Angeles on Monday 8th December. Turns out my company is booking the flight a week before I have to be in Louisiana (9th), I bet I will end up on a **** flight As long as it isn't Air Fiji I don't mind, but the A380 would have been good.

Was just on the QF website searching for flights.

A "new" feature is that apparently if there are less than 5 seats available for sale for a particular price, you will see that price with a flashing orange "Hurry!" word underneath the price. Hovering over the word "Hurry!" will explain this.

Needless to say many of the Business class fares are highlighted with the said word :mrgreen: "Buy me now or you will not be flying in J!!!! Muahahahahahaha...." :mrgreen:

I noticed this while looking for a flight tomorrow :shock:. I was looking at a screen with hurry all over it

This is where adblock on FireFox comes in handy!

This is where adblock on FF comes in handy!

It's not such a bad idea.

It's a better idea than when they redid up the Domestic Specials page.

At this stage no more exams but have to separately register in every state I want to work.Basically though it is just filling out a form and most importantly handing over the readies.But not South australia-what is wrong with that state.Red tape capital of Australia.Even Medicare are in on the act-want a copy of SA rego-every other state you just quote your registration number.
Still I was able to swear before the JP that i had never been convicted of murder or aggravated sexual assault.
No South Australian has the right to complain about LOTFAP.

Yes noticed this last night while booking QF specials SYD-BNE through to End of March. I managed to get most of the flights I wanted. Sadly I will not be at the front of the Platinum aisle seat allocation list considering the fare I paid....

Wel, the Amex thread is having a lull tonight, so time to post here to push up numbers...
