Always love seeing the outright lies being spread about me. Apologies to the Shirl, but Ego is a dirty word.

I think I can guess where and who...

Turkish Delight and Caramel are Mrs Flashback and my favorites...

Saw both of them at my local Caltex whilst standing in line this morning. Bleeuchh. Give me the dark chocolate ones

Whats the record for longest time spent in a lounge ? we are coming up to 11 hours in AA MIA

10 years and Viktor Navorski is still there - The Terminal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently you grow to love your surrounds in time - anything I can do to help in the mean time? Feed the dog? Mow your lawns? just askin'!

What about the 17-year-stay of Mehran Karimi Nasseri in the Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Terminal I, Paris, France from 1988 to 2006.[SUP][2][/SUP]

Vale Ann B Davis (played Alice in The Brady Bunch), aged 88. Slipped over in her bathroom and never regained consciousness

A must watch for me back in the old days...might have been my schoolboy crush on Marsha Brady

My grandma suffered the same injury last year but survived. It's a terrible injury.

I don't like mamils.

Matt Shirvington was another to watch.

I always thought he could run faster but there were certain things seemed to be holding him back.

We have a 4G Telstra sim for a tablet. It's 3 months into the plan. This tablet can actually make and receive phone calls. But we don't use it as a phone. We have already received five (unanswered) calls from a financial services spam agent. The only way they could have obtained our number was from Telstra.

Could also just be recycling of an old number .......

It came with the new SIM card.

Time to get rid of those financial service spammers - no room got them in our industry

NZ recently changed the timing of one of my flights so that my transit in AKL quite short. I gave the call centre a call and without fuss or charge they moved us to the previous days flight so that we can overnight in AKL AND then carry on to LAX the next day. This is what I wanted in the first place so absolutely stoked.

Its also my first interaction with NZ as a passenger, I'm so far impressed

Today is the 25th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square killings.

Wonder if anyone was there at the time ?

I still remember Hawke's public tears on TV like it was yesterday.

I remember being at my birthday dinner when we heard about Tiananmen Square

I was only 4 when it happened, but the picture of the businessman stopping the tank has always stuck with Me

One of those defining images, like the little girl fleeing with her clothes burnt off in Vietnam.

There was a bloke in my honours year (during 1993) who was in Tiananmen Square.
