The totally off-topic thread

Indeed. The orthodontist next door to my work has some interesting customers, (I hope). Let's just say the acrobatic act required to do certain things hopefully isn't from an adult.

Reverse scoop FTW

Better or worse than knowing someone slept in your bed when you were away for a weekend?

That might depend on whether your SO was in there as well. :shock:

I'm not a fan of that either. But snotty tissues is pretty gross.

That had me worried for a bit.

If someone stays at my house when I'm not there, they sleep in the spare bed. My bed is mine and only on either person gets to sleep in it.

Yep. But thought you'd declined your SO from sharing too.

But once you have kids you get used to sharing a bit more with other bods!

never! :shock:

Nice work Optus. MrP just received 3 texts that were sent as long as 17 days ago while we were overseas. We've been back in Australia for a week. I was getting them though.

I think he's had devils horns implanted too.

Guinness needs to rethink it's records because people are getting into much more "weird" nowadays.

I posted this elsewhere, but for the benefit of AFF friends, I have just enjoyed a truly amazing experience at the opera in Adelaide.

I am proud that Australia has such talented people willing to take on very ambitious projects. I wish more people appreciated this art form.

It has been an absolute privilege to attend the premiere of the State Opera of South Australia’s ground breaking performance of the full cycle of Philip Glass's "portrait trilogy" of operas in Adelaide this week.

Timothy Sexton and Leigh Warren’s interpretation of Akhnaten, Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha is breathtaking. The extensive use of dance and the skill of the performers redefines these works as high energy “opera ballets”. A truly amazing performance, of which [South] Australia should be extremely proud of.


Highly recommended for anyone who can get to Adelaide over the next two weeks.

At this stage I don't believe Watkins Glen will be renaming themselves to Ambrose Glen! If he wins the Sprint Cup race tomorrow after today's win in the Nationwide it might be a different story.

Good to see the Weagles giving the Pies a bit of a drubbing. Couldn't be happier :mrgreen:

Phew. After almost three months of unemployment (the first time I have ever not worked since graduating in 1991 - and also the first time I've ever claimed Social Security), and 100 job applications, I am about to sign a new contract.

Pervesely, my new employer hunted me down - the job was not advertised - and it was just six hours from first contact, to offer of work.

The down side is, it's FIFO - so my 14 year old son who was with me almost full time, has to go back to living with his mother 2 weeks on, 1 week off. He's not a happy camper about that. And it also means I am handing over an additional $20,000 p.a. to her in child support, compared to what I would be if I had a job in Perth to go to. All up, I am paying her more in CS than she is actually earning - and I have no control over that funding all being spent of the kids (as opposed to weekends away to Margeret River, Bussleton, coughet... )

If I had the choice, I'd take the lower pay, and more time with the kids... but beggars can't be choosers, right?

The upside, besides a little extra in my pocket, is I can work on my QFF status now.

If anyone knowd a good accountant/financial advisor in Perth who can help bring some equality back to my financial equation - please PM me!

Even better is the Pies are out of the 8 on percentage, although West Coast have a bit of work to do to make it in the 8.
Disappointed that Geelong beat Fremantle by 2 points, although Ross Lyons the Dockers coach made the comment you shouldn't rely on the final kick to win the game.
I was a bad supporter and tipped Geelong in the footytipping.

Congrats on the new job, I thought you being the local would have a good accountant, I am still using one in Brisbane.

As an employer I hate having to split up the payment and send it to another department, I have enough trouble paying superannuation to a bunch of different funds.

So all of you working in the financial industry; I am looking at you Mr QF WP I am not happy, extra work which doesn't help with productivity.
