The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

I might just keep it to annoy a certain West Coast supporter for a bit longer.

Oh and yeah why can't these holidays line up, WA tomorrow and Qld the following Monday.

Freo... way to go, bollocks it up just like the way you know

Freo was given the old heave ho - bye bye Freo Dorkers

I'm laughing that Veda has just realised I live in a PO Box in Australia.

I wonder who reported that.... The old addresses on file were well old.

Lol.

 

[TheEmu]

For those who don't have Monday as a public holiday just remember "the first 5 days after the weekend are the hardest".
It is the Queen's birthday holiday in Perth tomorrow.

And in QLD it is a week later.

And China is celebrating National Day - which is a week's holiday...
Sort of.
Then folks have to work Sundays to pay back the days off...(!)

Veda is coming back onto the ASX before Christmas after a spell on the bench with a fund owning it. This credit reporting business sells info about us to interested money lenders.

DRW on Border Security. Maybe they'll show the Vlounge...

Interesting. There is always money in reporting on others.... And minimal competition in Australia.

I'm still trying to identify who added the new address. Yes it is legit, but I wonder what led to it being added .

Bag and golf clubs decided to go shopping in SIN last night.

Bags will hopefully arrive ~3:00pm but a day of my golf trip wasted.

Is Ross Noble the thickest QI panel member ever?*

*This is not rhetorical he really is appallingly dumb and not even remotely amusing.

Don't think I've seen him on QI (don't go out of my way to watch it) but have to say I used to thoroughly enjoy his appearances on certain Oz panel shows.
Curiosity has got the better of me, will see if I can retrospectively catch him on QI.

 

[Buzzard]

I saw him at the Thebbie in ADL - what a fun night.

First prize in a competition at BWS is meeting Darren Lockyer. Is second prize meeting him twice?

I wonder if you can elect to meet the cardboard cutout instead?

Better than hearing his raspy voice.

We used to have a similar life size poster of the Brick with Eyes aka Glenn Lazarus.Only got rid of it about 18 months ago.Would probably be worth say $5 now that he is a senator.!

If that Lockyer one is life sized, he's really fun sized!

Proud of myself!

I worked out a way to attach my new station sign to my pole in my backyard & I did it all by myself.



Not everyone has the tools, ability or time to do what the guy at Mitre 10 suggested - using a long piece of metal & bending it into shape & cutting it to the right size.

4 nuts/bolts & two flat metal plates - so much easier!

Woke this morning, looked outside the window and saw my first pea soup thick fog in a long time. I am ~10kms directly west of the airport, so would expect delays this morning. Lucky it's not Thursday because I'd be at the airport cooling my heels...

Could be some delays for me then tomorrow as am flying to ASP via SYD tomorrow.

Just checked BNE airport web site and at the moment doesn't appear to be any delays across the board.
