Well, naturally - all that is there is Perth. On the other front, there's at least three large cities.

The Q word is frowned upon in some professions!

Retailers are restocking their shelves of goodies like Fantales after Flashback took off for Heathrow. I think a lot of his baggage was confectionary.

...don't forget all those big-cough holes in the ground, that have been left after we sold the dirt that keeps us from having the economy of a South American republic. Who needs brickpits!

Anyway to download it? Watched the first episode while in China last week quite liked it.

If you are using Firefox a very good free add on is Download Helper. It is brilliant IMHO.

I delivered quite a few of those to an AFFer in the US recently too....

I wish some of the people pretending to work in my place of employment discovered the meaning of the Q word and respect for other people's privacy at the same time.

Quick update:
my surgery went well. I am recovering nicely. Got discharged today

The pathology showed no signs of tumour, which means NO CANCER!!

Making my once a month cameo appearance in the office and the two people I need to speak to aren't here today... GRRRRRRumble

That means I need to come into work TWICE this month - outrageous working conditions

During March-April I worked my regular shift/location three times, so I feel your pain.

I've only been in the office once for about 45 minutes in the last 5 weeks.

Listen you lot! Stop trying to make us mad with jealousy - its working.

I have not been to my "local" office for over a year. I think 45 mins in 2 years would pretty much describe my visit to the Brisbane office. Hang on a minute, I changed employers a few months ago. I don't think my new employer has an office in Brisbane - I should probably check and see if they do.

Listen you lot! Stop trying to make us mad with jealousy - its working.

Oops, sorry

Well I don't consider the customer site in Richmond to be the "office"

These things happen in The Remotest City On Earth. A few weeks back it was Milo; The whiteants had stripped the supermarket shelves of it where I shop... back now. Probably 3% higher price, too.

I balked at the price of Tim Tams (seem to rise every time I'm over), $3.40 or thereabouts IIRC, fortunately Coles had them on special for $1.64 a pack :mrgreen: In fact, Twisties, Fantales, Freddo Frogs, Caramelo Koala's were all on special so that was good timing

What's wrong with drinking beer at 4:30am? That doesn't make a bogan?

Did you really want me to answer that...?

You would be 100% right

Yes, it does make you one.

Drink Champagne or wine instead - much classier. :mrgreen:

(Now what do you make of someone in a Bintang singlet quaffing down a glass of Moet & Chandon or the like..... )
