The totally off-topic thread

[blackcat20]

Microsoft and hotmail have now asked to provide a mobile phone number to verify the email address, has this happened to anyone else recently.

I got a request today as well...

Has anyone started a 2014 motorsport thread in the playground yet?

There is a 2014 F1 thread

Where else to put useless trivia, but here on the TOTT.

Certainly no secret. The Seaford line started some electric services Monday 23rd Feb.

Just don't ask Adelaidians about the rail shutdown to allow the works to proceed.

I did see somewhere while I was gone that it was open but couldn't remember if it was here or on FB.

I haven't been able to find a lot of video yet about the opening but I did find a video from the ABC.

Seaford salutes electric trains - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

For fans of time lapse video, this video shows some of the work that has been done.

If I was an average John or Jane Citizen who was inconvenienced by all of the work I'd be ticked off too. But then again, I know about what needs to happen.

I'm not a massive F1 head but I guess I'll watch the Singapore GP with a new appreciation for the track.

There's so much good motorsport going on apart from F1.

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

You make a statement like that, yet wonder why you're getting dating ads on FB???

With a statement like that he doesn't need a dating site. He needs respite.

It's our office moving day. I am sitting on the stair entrance valiantly trying to protect a space for a removal truck because it's Clipsal race day here and the Eastern city is closed. And race goers want to take the spot. Surprisingly men with shaved hair and tatts, driving V8's are respecting my (ahem), borrowed orange witches hat and two boxes.

Do like the two boxes though - they look like beer cartons (and if they are, that's why you are getting respect)

Telstra did the right thing and switched our phones over properly. Now fingers crossed waiting to see if our server fires up this arvo.

I've just crossed another thing off my bucket list. No more office moves.

An office move was on your bucket list - wow, you must have crossed A LOT of things off in your time

Glad to hear that it is going well and I look forward to seeing the North Adelaide office on my next trip

Of course. They were beer cartons!

Well the last thing on my list for the move is getting the server installed. Happening right now. Fingers crossed. But I am filthy. Dirty. .

Quality champers on my list for tonight and maybe some of that delish smoked salmon pasta as it's quick and easy.

Look forward to catching up QF WP.

Merely a statement of fact & an appreciation of my own bed after almost 2 months of overseas travel.

I guess it's good to see this type of bright spark on the wire.

Maybe he thought he was driving a tram.

In cold light of day that sounds really pathetic doesn't it.

Server all sorted. I can hand over the rest of the job to the staff. Bought a packet of Fruchocs on the way home as I hadn't eaten all day. No need for gym tonight but I'm too wacked anyway.

Is it 5pm yet?

Fruchocs - the snack of champions. Or if its the large packet - the meal of champions.

Well done Bunny Bear! Now are you going to go for LTG?

I realised that they are an SA thing. I am a champion (large pack purchased and half gone).

For any motorsport heads who have Speed on Foxtel, they are currently showing highlights from the recent Bathurst 12 Hour. Still 10 hours to go on the race clock.

Not even close... my (busy) day is only just starting

 

[QF WP]

Pushka, sounds like it went to plan today. Will have to check out those Fruchocs one day - personally I don't go past Haighs.

You'd better go to the gym tomorrow though....a minute on the lips
