The totally off-topic thread

[JohnK]

Well it's now non-functioning unless you've got a set top box installed.

No. Just Foxtel via Optus.

I hope you have your digital TV.

I read that Sydney switched off the analogue signal today, not sure if anyone saw this youtube link. ATN7 Sydney Analog Signs Off for the Final Time - YouTube
See the last 1 minute.

Next week 10 December Melbourne turns off the analogue signal.

I certainly do. I was an early adopter when Mildura was one of the first areas to change over about 7-8 years ago.

Is it my imagination or has Brisbane been cold the past 3 nights?

Time to upgrade then ... the lower power cost and lower cost of TVs in general these days will offset it all

Oh don't worry. I am not on my first set top box/TV...

It's been cold. Alternatively, it's both our imaginations - spooky

Since this is the off-topic thread I'm after some wayyyyy off topic advice (mods please remove if inappropriate)... We are getting married next year and it's a destination wedding with transport between church, reception and then back to accommodation provided by way of coaches. My mum threw up a curly question tonight and suggested that the few people travelling with young infants/babies wouldn't be comfortable with that. Thoughts? (Our only child currently is a cavoodle so we have zero clue about responsibilities of tiny human transport!)
Should we just ask the coach company if they can provide car seats? Or perhaps we should arrange a separate mini bus for those bringing kids? What do the parents here think?
PS it's about a twenty minute bus ride we are talking about.

Conversely in London it's been warmer than what it should be for this time of year...... still yet to even think about busting out the winter coat.

Even today? Pretty chilly out...

Hmm... perhaps my definition of chilly differs to everyone else :mrgreen:

Babies travel on public and private buses all the time without seat belts.

Not that we should go back in time but when my eldest was a baby there were no restraining requirements required at all!

Car seats are not required by law in coaches & some mini buses. (in QLD anyway)
Considering there aren't anchor points in coach seats, it may be difficult even if you were to BYO.

save on the reception costs!!! (if they complain and don't want to travel by coach*)


(* unless of course they're buying a really nice wedding gift!!)

I walk around the office with a jacket after my ribs start to ache courtesy of the freezing airconditioning.

And people look at me funny as they think it is hot!

 

[Buzzard]

I'm digital ready. In fact I have a digital on a very regular basis

It's about 20 here in MEL and raining, and I got a sweat up walking my 6+ k this morning before the rain started.

I lived in CBR for 10+ years, cold is below zero.

In country Vic we swapped to all digital some years ago and so have gradually rid ourselves of analogue TVs.
We still have one or two digital set top boxes lying around if anyone needs them.
