Int side of OOL getting smashed right now. 1 x B777, 3 x A330 and an A320 on the apron right now and about to be joined by a CZ A330. Happy times!

I've actually no idea! Once again didn't bring the camera out so I've only got a reasonably low res iPhone shot.

I could only assume its a bird as quite a few seem about over the last week!

A B777 at OOL? Who owns it?

Are CZ starting services to OOL?

umm, scoot. CX is a CNY charter.

Scoot own the B777, they're in most days now.

CZ did their 2nd CNY charter today, CX also did a charter last weekend.

Poor old NZ got stuck doing a convoluted pushback/pull manoeuvre (pilots words) to get out of the jumble on the INT apron this morning!

Oh dear. Two out of control bushfires in Belair in Adelaide. A heavily populated area if it breaches the National Park. Add low humidity, 42 degrees and a rising northerly wind.

Completely forgot about Scoot (no need to be surprised ) - in fact, didn't even click that OOL could handle such an aircraft.

I'm over Schapelle...... moved on years ago

Media please note: Is this really the most important news item?

As I said from another media outlet, we have some sort of sick fascination.

The fact that a teledocumentary on her is coming out soon just adds to that.

I'm in Walla Walla ALW. My bags last night ex MDW weren't put on my AS flight ex SEA, Off to the airport shortly to see if they've arrived as promised today (Friday).

I did get my bags back. No compensation or apology.

Sometimes the rebound guy gets lucky. Sadly not in this case but as long as you enjoyed that part of your trip does it really matter?

I had fun, she had fun - it's all good. We were both consenting adults & what happened happened with no regrets from either side.

Assuming for a moment it was all daddy's doing, not that I believe that, her father probably would have escaped any serious time if he was terminally ill. I would have dobbed him in a heartbeat for trying to **** up my life and get me killed!

I have always believed in shades of grey.

Dear daddy was a pot smuggler selling dope grown in South Australia. You really think he wasn't involved?

Have a tub of cooking cream left from sister.

Any ideas on what to cook with it?

For some reason I jumped to the conclusion that you'd popped your sister into a large cannibal-type pot and had rendered her down! Or Like the tiger in the children's story 'Epamanondas' who ran abound so much he melted into a puddle of ghee....put it down to my heat addled brain here in MEL

As well as 2 half brothers who have pleaded guilty to drug possession.One was for cocaine late last year.
One of them had 62 charges of break and enter as well as vehicle theft.The other has had 2 convictions for home invasion.

marijuan_ is called 'dope' for a reason.....and you'd have to be a double dope to try and smuggle it. Into or out of anywhere

Apologies if this sounds silly but how do you install Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari on a laptop without Internet Explorer?

That's tricky. Did explorer get corrupted because you can't actually uninstall explorer. It's there somewhere.

Use another laptop/computer to download the other browser onto a usb stick and load the program on to the laptop without IE.

Thanks. Can I download the setup program onto a USB and then run setup from USB on the other laptop.

Thanks a lot snap.do. Lowlife.

Just had a look at snap.do. Apparently its a malicious search engine (you probably know this by now). Its removal is recommended.

Just spotted on my FB feed: a Lego helicopter on display in Townsville. My geeky (semi) retired tech editor friend up there thought it was cool.

Paging ReLoad.

Busted! - yes I'm in TSV at the minute.
I repaired the chopper a couple of weeks ago after it's crash in CNS last year. it's certainly great to have it flying again
