The totally off-topic thread

So who operates them if it's not the Polish :mrgreen:

The french in partnership with Downer (the company) to go on topic

Homer Simpson, smiling politely.

Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins!

I was going to say the Chinese but I remembered we are talking about Melbourne's trams & not their trains.

The bride feels like Italian tonight with a bottle of Rockfords, I feel like Indian.
Feathers Pizzeria here I come....... 1/2 Garlic Prawn, 1/2 Tandoori Chicken

I think it's not good enough for Rockfords though. Mind you I do recall drinking a Basket Press out of 'dentist' glasses at a take-away in Katoomba about 10 or15 years ago

Given trams don't have poles anymore I doubt they could enjoy it.

Well, they're off the graph with their panting, maybe you should ask for a pantograph to find out?

I think what "confuses" our staff, or makes them feel better about their 'activities' is that they might see one of the Directors going to the gym at lunchtime. Conveniently forgetting of course the Directors are frequently in the office over the weekend or until 7pm at night and working from home. They know that because when they come in Monday morning their work tasks for the week will already have been sent over the weekend.

Feathers has a good pizzeria? Mind you my pizzas are pretty excellent but its taken a few years of getting the stone nicely burned in.

I believe the criteria to be a connie is to have an electric personality.

It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll.

ZING!

Too bad having a personality is pretty much discouraged (stick to the script) in my experience.

Parking is a nightmare at that pizza place.

The front bar of The Feathers reminds me of 'Cheers', the last time I was there the punters and staff all seemed to know each other. The only thing lacking was Ted Danson.

Trivia: AC/DC (the band) got their name off a sewing machine.

You do realise they were the reason the electric chair couldn't be used any more when capital punishment was still on the law books. There was a connie who threw a woman off the tram and she died, when found guilty of murder he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. So the day came, they strapped him in and hit the switch, nothing happened! They tried again and again. In the end they ceased trying. The review of the attempted execution soon determined the reason why the electric chair failed to kill the murderer. It was because he was a bad conductor.

Just proves there's more than one good singer responsible for the band's success.

That's because you keep splitting the point(s).
