The totally off-topic thread

It still doesn't change the fact that it is a benzodiazepine and these class of drugs are addictive. Scientific fact...

Just because a drug can be addictive does not mean someone will form a dependence on it.

Don't disagree with that! Just stating the facts about why the drug is being dealt with the way it is :mrgreen:

This News Limited photo was typical of the sky that I saw when I was driving my train around the suburbs this afternoon & typical of the commuters I saw photographing/videoing the sky, particularly at Central & Redfern.

It reminded me of that day of the giant dust storm in Sydney. It was like someone put a strange Instagram filter over the whole city.

Many houses lost in the Blue Mountains. Work on assessing damage will start in the morning. There's lots of work still to do. Firefighters from the ACT have been sent to assist.

Let's hope everyone stays safe.

Not having a good day today.

These train seats are as hard as a rock. Hope the VA economy seats are a little more comfortable later in the evening....

Well, bring it. Mistress Rain has been playing the flirt for too long.

Of course, we'll pass on the floods, please.

And if you can send some of that water to NSW, that'd be perfect.

I just got back from my weekly commute in Sydney....yesterday was wild.....today was smoky. The approach into BNE was bumpy. Enjoyed the company of Frank Farina and his boys.

Hope it gets better for you! You should be seeing a Dreamliner in about 10-20 minutes at OOL!

What makes me different? I don't know. If I cannot get it in Australia then I will buy it in Thailand even though it is a little more expensive.

note that the sale of these drugs over the counter was supposed to be stopped from 1 June 2013 (so my pharmacist there told me).

xanax, Valium and all the other suspects will now require a prescription (whether or not they implemented that I don't know...)

bringing those back into Australia is illegal without prescription. and with X-ray I don't know how they would come in undetected?

I can't remember the last time my bag was x-rayed in MEL on arrival.

Actually worse. Train delayed ~20 minutes getting into Varsity Lakes and then the 3:54pm bus did not arrive. Apparently he was running ~45 minutes late due to chaotic traffic and then 2 buses turned up together at ~4:30pm. The guy that was running late went directly to OOL airport and then Tweed Heads while the other one was all stops.

Had a good chat with bus driver. Knows Ray Price (works as bus driver in Tweed Heads area), follows Manly and goes to Thailand once a year.

Is the dreamliner doing practice runs? I do not really know what it looks like or what to look out for.

I think I have taken extra angry pills tonight.

Save me some muscle relaxant pills, I'm about to go for my first jog in a very long time.

I have just opened a bottle of muscle relaxant. I hope it doesn't take the edge of the angry pills.

Based on earlier discussion, are they over the counter or prescription?

I rarely take them, but fortunately found a small stash tonight.

Are you in town?

Was thinking of OOL drinks in ~4 weeks. I shall post a thread and see if any interest.
