The totally off-topic thread

[Simo]

I called them. Just got the itinerary. The CSA said that was the first stage and the receipt would follow. Didn't happen. I've used the tax invoice option about 5 or 6 times on the website - using variations of my usual email address, the email address in the booking, changed the booking email to my normal email and for the first flight box tried variations of QFXYZ, QF XYZ and XYZ. All with no emails forthcoming. The main hassle is I booked this by getting a voucher and then booking the flights, so explaining 2 items on the credit card statement for proof of purchase will be a bit complex.

Really kicking myself for using my work email in the booking instead of the email in my profile.

That is soo old school...

You should just FB them and then give them all your details in open forum and if they don't comply you will never fly them again and they are the worst airline in the world... and then call the Quantas......

Does anyone remember when chocolate tasted like chocolate ?

The oily tasteless mess we are served up is an insult

Rant over, go back to what you were doing

You need to pay a bit more and avoid the purple packaging!

Some are starting to taste very wax-like.....

I find most of the international varieties do better to keep up the tradition of chocolate-tasting chocolate.

How many years are we going back?

Chocolate tastes like chocolate to me but I only ever buy the cheap stuff.

And it turned up this morning at 9:50 am. Thought I'd check the email one more time before jumping onto Facebook and demanding an immediate answer out of hours.

I have no idea how that happened, but I did a customer care email last night and tried the tax invoice on line request one more time.

On another note, just booked an Avis rental, my car's getting towed to the assessment centre on Monday.

Still not sure if letting# the guy, who was paying me back for "cutting him off"*, side swipe me was a good idea or not. He's going to lose his licence for at least 6 months, so I kinda feel bad for him. But if you've been drinking, why chase someone about a km, cut in front of them and then cut back at them when they change into the other lane (also running into them in the process)? Certainly made his attempt to run away understandable, shame it was mid afternoon on Friday in heavy traffic.



# as in not slaming on the brakes or moving into oncoming traffic
* Apparently I cut him off, shame he didn't bother to uses the horn or otherwise make any warning when I did this. Not to mention the 2 car lengths of space and the traffic travelling at about 40 kph

Time for him to give up drink driving at the earliest opportunity!
Was he on the phone and reading a newspaper because of the road congestion ? That can improve the hit if you have ever thought about what makes the best dent.

Depends on the country said "purple packaged" chocolate originated from.

The "purple packaged" chocolate manufactured in Ireland or the UK is NOTHING like the garbage thrown out here.

Shame about your car. I hope nobody was hurt. Drink driving kills, so don't feel sorry for him!

On a side note I would be quite happy for someone to write my car off! I have been eying a 2008 Audi A8 4.2V8 and need an excuse to buy it!

I honestly don't know what he was doing. Didn't notice him until he cut in front of me later on, other than there being a gap in front of that car when I first changed lanes. The traffic was flowing slowly at about 40 kph, but not really major stops for reading the newspaper.

I'm not sure if he knew he was over the limit or not. Probably a case of a couple of after work beers, with one to many. Seemed happy when we called the police. But still he did try to run away and refused to give his name and such.

The most annoying bit is that I think he deliberately drove into me knowing his ute would have just about no damage. The police weren't interested.

Drive in Adelaide for a week, I'm sure you'd have that Audi in no time.

I don't think it's a write off. Just that the hit was right on the front left wheel. The guard has been pulled out to stop hitting the wheel, but there's still dodgy sounding clunks happening.

Last night with not very much time between trains. I went to the vending machine on the platform. I put my $2.80 in & the product was coming out. It got stuck & then the display said it was sold out. Surprisingly, I was able to get my money back.



So not sold out....

So I tried again a couple of times & success! Not only did I get what I paid for, I got the original as well. Two for the price of 1 at stupid o'clock in the morning - winning!

I can sympathise; swerved to avoid someone running a stop sign, clipped the curb, and now I need a new tyre as its developed a bulge.

While you had a beer in one hand and mobile in the other, of course!

Bad weekend for me. Aforementioned car collision with SWMBO in the car. Now I've broken one (of 2 in the house) of her new favourite glasses while unloading the dish washer.

Lucky we don't have a dog, or it'd being looking for a new home tonight.

Is Hot English Mustard proof alone that God is an englishman/woman/person?

Exactly how I developed my bulge!
