The totally off-topic thread

LOL, reminds me of the time when I was working in Sydney Tower and I noticed an odd car driving on the perimeter road towards Botany Bay, it turned out to be an Italian family fairly new to Australia that thought Runway 16/34 was a nice spot for a picnic.

Which reminds me of the time I was in the car with my Father driving in Launceston. Towing a tri-axle caravan and found ourselves going the wrong way down a one way street. We just had to keep going to get out!

Looks like my 30 minute connection in SYD is now cactus.

Stuck in MEL and boarding for the 1:00pm MEL-SYD has still not commenced.

I didn't think 30 mins was a valid mct?

But you were only going one way! #dadjoke

The Qantas website sold it to me. It may have been 35 minutes.

Put on direct MEL-BNE flight and just arrived and as it turns out my original MEL-SYD would have left in time to connect to my original SYD-BNE flight which is also ~20 minutes late in sympathy and is going to arrive close 5:00pm.

Must miss me.

Now need to put in for Original Routing Credit even through it is only 5SCs and a couple of hundred QFF points extra.

QF MCTs on the website are 40 minutes for domestic connections from a regular port and 20 minutes for a domestic connection from a regional port.

May have changed or another bug of the new site... beats me...

If flights change for any reason (time nudges and so on), that could also have an effect, but of course you should really be told about it (i.e. those "pointless" emails we receive about our flight changing by 5 minutes...)

Apologies. Original connection QF434 -> QF532 was 40 minutes.

From a discussion the other day...




My friends in San Luis Obispo took me to Whole Foods (from memory) when I was there earlier in the year.

I remember the husband/wife conversation when checking the ingrediants were being read out. Everything was "organic something something" and I'm like "Ok, we get it, everything on the list is organic."

LOL

Are those in Australia now? Interested to see how the price compares to here.

I saw them for the first time this afternoon, in Woolies no less.


EDIT: Couldn't find the sausages online but all of the other Linda McCartney items via Woolies online are $5.90.

The Heather Mills-McCartney sausages didn't sell well at all: very woody taste and quite bitter…:shock:

…was going to say expensive but when I tried to work it in, my wording just didn't seem to have the legs…

2.20 quid here normal price, but we often get them for a quid! :mrgreen:

That was a corker.

That's what she said!

(Too far?)

Good to see the Australian retail 'tax' is alive and kicking!!

 

[TheEmu]

2.20 quid here normal price, but we often get them for a quid! :mrgreen:

So, is that half price, or 2 for the price of 1?
Paul obviously got his from the wrong shop!

That was a corker.

You've got me pegged.

So did the judge

I thought the judge said she didn't have a leg to stand on....
