The totally off-topic thread

Yes, important stuff - will Brett Finch return in time for the next Storm game? :-|

Who cares?

 

[oz_mark]

Who cares?

Not me. I don't even know who he is.

 

[straitman]

Who cares?

Storm supports, players and those who are due to play against them :!:

I'm getting close to the "Devils Number" of posts-666,since 14 December last year ,not bad IMO but I'm a long way of the 5000 club methinks :!:
Perhaps when I reach 666 I should perform some sort of ritual like throwing salt over my left shoulder? or maybe even book a flight on Tiger Airways.

I'd stick with the salt as it will probably give you a better outcome.

Good point Bill,
At least if I throw salt over my shoulder I know it will land somewhere predictable unlike Tiger flights to Perth :!:

I didn't realise OWE/OWS doesn't give priority baggage across partner airlines, while *A does. Either way, my dad and sister still managed to get the domestic priority tags on their flight ZQN - SYD this afternoon. Odd. Also managed to snag an exit row on request. He's CX Diamond.

Priority baggage isn't a OW benefit, but I have seen QF being a bit liberal about this, particularly to OWEs and particularly if you line up at premium check-in. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. Only way to guarantee is to be of QF status; even then, priority baggage only works about 75% of the time :-| (at least IME).

Preferred seating, however, is a OW benefit, although I'm not exactly sure what that entails; certainly, obtaining an exit row on request is still a bit rare for a non-QFFer.

Well I'll be hoping to get an exit row next week for my flight out, even though I'm a long way down the chain. Asking at check-in can't hurt.

Well it is time for me to sign off for a week or so as I go into hospital tomorrow for major surgery. :evil: I will be in hospital for about a week and then malingering at home and driving my wife nuts for quite a few weeks after that. I’m not allowed to travel for 6-8 weeks after the surgery so I have plenty of time to plan my next adventure. Currently that is to NZ for the Hawke’s Bay FT DO but I have a few other thoughts happening that could transpire into something earlier.

You don’t have talk about me too in my absence, though I am sure that the site will manage admirably without my help. :shock:

 

[oz_mark]

Good luck Bill, and see you when you get back

 

[anat0l]

Good luck with everything Bill.

You can give your pedometer to Sue so that she can continue stepping for the GCC....

Get well quickly Bill.

I guess you got 6 to 8 weeks on the internet to drive the rest of us mad.

And thanks for the note that you will be offline for a bit.

 

[Flashback]

Hope it all goes well Bill!

The end of another weekend is upon us ......

 

[drron]

All the best bill.
Hopefully that surgery goes better than expected.
However the fact that you are going to be able to be on AFF full time in a week or so will have I am sure a big effect on the time of post 200000

 

[serfty]

Bill, Best wishes from Jenny and myself.

I hope it all goes well. (You've reminded me I'm overdue for my next test.:-|)

 

[Flashback]

England are 5-70, can the Aussies bowl them out to take the first test?
