The totally off-topic thread

[penegal]

Speaking of which my poor uncle had a scare yesterday.

He went to hospital with abdominal pain, and upon getting some tests was rushed to surgery. Details are very sketchy about what was actually wrong, but I am told it was some kind of bowel rupture. He is not young any more, plus being post-transplant, and having an auto-immune disease, a lot of these things suddenly become very high risk.

I will hopefully get some more details later today.

Here's hoping that's all it is and the surgery was successful. His medical history would have made it interesting for the surgical team... not the least the anaesthesiologist.

I'm presuming he's older than you penegal, but you're right...you're old, so he couldn't be young any more

LOL, yes, he is older than me...

QF11 on the 23rd of November subbed to a 747. Not happy, the big family vacation flight.

Any ideas on the how and why they are subbing a 380 flight this far out?

I know they sub out A380 flights to Europe during low demand. Don't know about the USA.

I've just finished my first pack of fruit mince pies. Love it when they bring those out early!

Interesting. Waitrose has that pudding also, only supermarket here that does.

I admit to buying Xmas fairy lights at Bunnings on the weekend. *blush*

I would have thought they would put them out a lot earlier!

Some people are known to eat that stuff all year round anyway.

Are you one of these people?

I'd eat hot cross buns all year if I could...

I have seen some households with Christmas lights up all year round.

Well the Paragon centre in Bangkok was playing Christmas carols 3 months ago.

I don't use FB that much and even less use the facility to link to other members as friends. There are very few people listed as such on my profile. I rarely add to it but never remove any on the other hand.

This morning my FB icon was showing a very high notification count which was a bit out of the ordinary ... so I had a look ...

 

[drron]

Who could that be?

You are being stalked :!:
