The totally off-topic thread

Sounds as good as any other date.

I should follow your lead and not drink alcohol until the next drinks night and see how much weight I can lose....

0.5kg :mrgreen:

I was being serious. I think I can lose ~5 kilos if I don't drink alcohol for 4 weeks. Where is that motivation when you need it.

Due to lack of interest drinks in Brisbane on Wednesday, 25 February 2009 has been cancelled....

A few superfluous words in there? Perhaps should read:

Due to lack of interest ... Brisbane ... has been cancelled....

Well, an upcoming state government election triggers a lack of interesting for me .

Congrats on getting the Platinum card, do Qantas issue Gold luggage tags.

The Platinum baggage tag can save about 30 seconds in F lounge time.

I should be good for March's effort. I assume Wed March 25?

Wednesday March 25 should work for me as well.

I can continue on an alcohol free work week.

It's interesting that you say that... last year, I abstained for 4 weeks and the only exercise I did was one game of hockey a week.. and I shed 5kg! Crazy.

These days though, I've got it down to drinking 1 night a week, and gym 3-4 times... seems to do OK.

Sounds like a plan just as long as you don't cram five nights drinking into one.

25th March would be a good date to either celebrate or commiserate the Qld election result.

Why wait until then? Any day is suitable for that purpose!

Already produce enough wind-isnt that bad for greenhouse gas though?
Bike-well I admit it would be much better for me but I could fall off even a stationary bike so thats out.
Solar it is.

Sounds good to me too,I will be in Sydney that week so could probably arrange a side trip up to Brisbane quite easily.

Something is wrong with this thread,when I click the little icon in the thread title to go to the last post in the thread it takes me to page one.
Only happens on this thread.

I believe it is for any thread with greater than 1000 posts (e.g. the Amex promo thread). Instead of clicking on "last post" try clicking on "first unread post" - to the left of the thread title.

This handy hint brought to you courtesy of some other poster whose name escapes me.
