And 30 tomorrow for the Americas Cup

There was a headline plastered on my news application, "Kiwis on the brink of epic choke".

Ironically, the skipper of the American vessel is an Australian.

25 years today since Cathy Freeman won her 400m Gold Medal - jeez does time fly or does time fly?

25 years , Wasn't it in the year 2000 ? :shock:

No wonder the world is in a mess.

Ignore strangers in public but then spend hours at night looking for strangers on dating sites? That is a safer way of doing it.

And if that doesnt work go out to some sleazy nightclub and go home with the first stranger all over you. That is a much safer way of doing it.

Worked for me when I was younger . Bit old for nightclubs now and well don't need to have a partner to be happy.

You went to sleazy nightclubs and was the stranger all over somebody :mrgreen:

Not unless you pay extra (I'm told)... :shock:

PF you stay at The Trafalgar regularly? We stayed at The Waldorf a.k.a Fawlty Towers in July but never again - need alternative next visit.

In all fairness I did recommend The Trafalgar over The Waldorf to you

Yes I do, it's a little boutique type place, not recognisably Hilton. Fantastic location, friendly staff. It's all mood lighting and feels like a bit of a dodgy night club in the hallways. It has spacious comfortable rooms and bathrooms and a great a la carte breakfast menu FOC to Diamonds.

Noice!

And the view from the "lounge" today completing a somewhat Military day in NTL, who says a thirty year old cannot look sexy when it comes to aircraft!

There's a dating site for that now! (in the UK ... I won't mention it's name, but I will just say it is a uniform dating site.)

Isn't there a dating site for everything?

Many varieties.

This one here looks interesting and something I have had in mind for a while.

I received a very welcome text message today from my favourite fairy godmother


Then I went to visit a dear friend and cousin who's partner (aged early forties) has recently been diagnosed with an aggressive and untreatable brain tumour.
It's all about perspective isn't it ?

You put the Qantas upgrade service number in your phone book?

You put the Qantas upgrade service number in your phone book?

There is nothing wrong with that. I do something similar for other companies that text me. In many cases I have multiple numbers added. it just helps when glancing at the phone who is messaging.
