The totally off-topic thread

definitely along the lines of ' i did not inhale your honor'

Or Clinton's concept of his liaison with Monica.

On the back of a "Wicked Camper" today on the way to Geelong :
"Roses are red, violets are blue ,
I have Alzheimer's ,
Cheese on toast"

Wicked Camper Vans..... They have some of the most random catch phrases spray painted on them I'll have to say.
Superb marketing if you look at it at that angle.

Knocked out a meal from my childhood this evening - Chicken Cacciatore.

Googled, found this Chicken Cacciatore | Chicken Recipes | Jamie Oliver Recipes and gave it a go, served with rice. Delicious and a winner with the kids - love a one pot meal

Just passing "Essendon Fields" in a taxi eek supplied by Qantas. Will be on QF93 tomorrow ... So if that's on time then NRT here I come ...

... excellent proactive service from a QF staff member but that is for a better place than the TOTT ...

 

[TomVexille]

Parking fine?

Correct. Even though I paid using one of their methods. Now someone has to waste their time contesting the "allegation".

I should send them a bill for the time wasted (even though my wonderful girlfriend volunteered to sort it out while I'm at work tomorrow).

Reason for taxi .. my AKL to Oz flight tomorrow is scheduled for 6:45am:

Not arguing for the sake of it.

I woke up with ~$2, 500 in my wallet. I know I took out $880 (8 x $110) from ATM. I went to the RSL and came home after 5:00am.. The rest I don't remember.

Did I win that money or did someone give it to me?

This is a serious story. I was smart enough to leave ~$350 in uncollected payouts from pokies. My brother and mum heard me come home and said I was whistling/singing when I came home.

It is very possible to forget. Trust me. I have also woken up with ~$1, 600 missing from my wallet. I did not lose it on pokies. I would love to know what happened. I guess I will never know.

These two events occurred ~6 months apart but in opposite order. I suspect they are somehow related.

Hey John

JohnK luck strikes again.

Where do you get these $110 notes?

Oh yeah! One of my favourites. Grew up in Ingham - lots of really good Italian cooking!

** 'Millions wasted' on flu drug **
Hundreds of millions of pounds have been wasted on Tamiflu, a drug for flu that may work no better than paracetamol, a landmark analysis says.

A couple of those were pretty gritty. The 707 can be superior to Grange.

LOL. It is a superstition. Think 11 as a special number and work from there.

 

[Pushka]

The bottles remind me of when I chucked out dozens of empty Homer Simpson's Duff beer cans from a beach house we'd just bought. Sons were furious.

Then you should withdraw $121.

I'm not surprised. Those are worth serious money even empty. $15-$25 per empty can in 2011
