Mine is 'its complicated'. Keeps (most) dodgy dating adverts away

I've tuned out the dating ads & refuse to go on any more dating sites.

For those not following my near live TR, I have just arrived back into SYD and am taxiing to the gate.

Interesting but semi useless fact (unless you like Soda Water or use it on your plants), Coles branded Soda Water is not Soda Water at all, it's the same product as their sparking water.

Its all the cows and sheep who normally reside near the airport having a naughty weekend away :shock:

Cows and sheep?

In another thread someone mentioned you could see cows at ADL airport.

Next up, ADL itself will make it into the 21st century

Now now, we all know that's highly doubtful there are only a few places in the world you can see cows from the plane as you land...

I have only observed the teddy on a chair myself.

I wouldn't count on it!

One can only hope.

I'm aware of horses being in neighbouring paddocks

In Indonesia the cows can occasionally be found under the nose wheel upon landing...

It's Mad March. We have it every year. We have the Festival of Arts and Fringe Festival on. This weekend a car race that blocks half a city getting to work in a decent time. The next weekend Adelaide Cup but that's prolly irrelevant. The Queen Mary 2 embarks during March. WOMAdelaide is on. The week after that a state election also prolly irrelevant. Then Rolling Stones which I understand sold out in seconds and suggestions that people travel from overseas to see these outdoor concerts as they are rare. Adelaide gets booked out in March every year. And our weather is pretty much perfect.

At least we have a car race on Just a shame I cant go till after 5.30 on Friday

And with a chance of hosting the Grand Final of the Sheffield Shield, after spending millions on redeveloping Adelaide Oval, they can't have the Grand Final at Adelaide Oval because of the Rolling Stones. Disgusting.

Anybody see this? The Trials of Muhammad Ali (2013) - IMDb - absolutely ENTHRALLY IMHO.

We got a gift basket from a client late last week and it included this bottle:



Needless to say, I said that I'd be happy to have it

Nobody else had any idea about Henschke

In the late 60s I was at university college in Adelaide with Stephen and Paul Henschke and in early 70s met Cyril at the winery on a couple of occasions before he met his demise.

I'm aware of horses being in neighbouring paddocks

Are they better?

 

[rogerkambah]

Are they better?

Absolutely!!! I mean people talk about horsing around, but I've never heard about cowing around.

 

[Shelf]

Are they better?

Cows and sheep imply country town. Horses don't

I just realised that I'll be sleeping in my own bed for the first time this year.
