You'll be a frequent fryer. :mrgreen:

I'll be steaming if I find out there's another AFF to join!

There isn't another AFF, so simmer down

Are they... healthy to use? I know a deep fryer isn't

Compared to using a deep fryer, it uses basically zero fats & oils. Depending on the food cooked, you might not need to use any oil at all - it uses whatever fats/oil is in the food.

Golf sucks up a lot of time. Hours on end. Maybe find a physical activity that doesn't take several hours?

I would not want to be doing anything else. My ideal week would be golf on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and the occasional Sunday.

There isn't another AFF, so simmer down

That's good. I don't want to over-cook the situation with 2 AFF's on the boil at the same time.

Only in the Northern Territory!

This may have been better posted in the Birthdays thread but I'm not sure if he's an AFF member or not.
Happy Birthday anyway - wonder if there's anything he needs?

Peace in our time.

I'm sure you don't work 24/7....

No I dont but you would be surprised how quickly time disappears.

I leave work ~2:30pm on a Friday afternoon and I am home in Sydney ~10:30pm assuming everything is on time. Then start to get ready ~2:00pm on a Sunday and I am not in my apartment in Milton until ~8:00pm by which time I am too tired to do too much of anything.

Then Monday and Tuesdays are long days.

Put in AFF into the mix, research travel and that does not leave too much spare time.

Actually it's a bit unusual for the NT News, it is a rule that the front page must feature a crocodile.

I think the "they" of the headline was the local council; like all councils they usually act like crocodiles!

True - nice looking dog though.

I was disappointed with my day trip to DRW for my birthday earlier this year - the front page of the NT News was not snappy at all.

Can you imagine that dog letting itself get stolen? I guess we'll find out tomorrow what happened.

Well you can always cry some crocodile tears.

Now it's time for bed so see ya later alligator.

In a while, crocodile!

*whispers* He's written his headline for the front page of the NT News for tomorrow so his work is done....

Not sure if it has been mentioned but RIP Martin Sharp.
Oz magazine was a big part of my Uni days.

While in the obituaries, RIP Syd Beck.
Syd had a collection of military aircraft, some quite unique, military vehicles, engines and other assorted items of interest at the Beck Museum just out of Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands, FNQ.

I was taught by Bren Alman, Mackay Golf Club. Went to golf camp at Bowen and played junior tournaments in the region and FNQ including the Islands in the Whitsunday's........great times. The first flight I can recall being on was a small plane going to a golf weekend to one of the islands in the 70's.

Related to Scott Alman no doubt - known Scott since the mid 80's.

These days I'm a 46 - once a year hacker that can still knock out a round in the 80's - in a good year

Also played Cricket......another sucker of time!

So we are the same age and have the same abilities, although I play ~8 times a year (in a good year).

Really must make a trip to the Sunny Coast to see clients and drop in

 

[Pushka]

So Johnk, you really do have spare time after all but you choose to play golf.

There was only one phrase that jumped out as me:



YMMV
