December was a better month for me, jumped from 245,000 to 431,000. Keep adding to them for my F/J awards booking to be made in October.

When I run camping trips for the club I am in, I ask that everyone bring a surprise. I have a trip coming up at the end of March, and this is my pick for this trip:

Espressgo - Travel Coffee Maker - Lavazza

In the wilds of Tassie, I wonder what I could charge? :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

I heard a joke years ago about camping and the fact that the word surprise can be mixed up with the word supplies. Make sure you take your supplies as well so you'll have something to eat with your coffee.
 
Holy cow with all the QFF points rolling in for people, especially via Aquire. No wonder QF have no incentive to improve redemption conditions, and only reluctantly cut fuel surcharges.

Maybe also explains why there's nary a QFF premium seat award on some key routes for months.

People on the street are selling "Abbott Hater" t-shirts now. Like or dislike the guy this is just low IMO.

Bah, or should that be Baa Baa. I've been wearing my Abbott "Baddie" t-shirt for over a year now. Followers! It might be low but nothing compared to the vitriol that confronted our Greatest Female PM Ever (long may she retain a Gold card).

I agree with your comment Ausbt and do not wish to take it further as I am trying to keep TOTT non-political.

I will disagree with the "our Greatest Female PM Ever", which is not really possible as we have only had one.

You're a clever chap with that phd and all. But you are completely and totally wrong on this view. As the only one in a class of persons she would simultaneous be the greatest, worst, shortest, tallest, widest, skinniest, hottest, ugliest example. That can only change when there is a second person in the set of female PMs.

Or to put it another way. Name just one greater female PM of Australia. Just one. :p

Besides it's a standard joke. "I/he/they are the greatest [category of person of which they are the only one]".
Reply "they are the only [category etc]

I tell my brother I the greatest brother ever. He says I the only brother. We are both correct.

Actually I was not making a political statement. Hence using myself as the greatest brother to my brother. More about the English language. As such the grammar thread would be better.

Of course I'm not sure about the other poster.

For the record I'm not a big fan of TA but I think it's wrong to promote t-shirts that say "I hate someone". I did talked a bit with the people offering these t-shirts and it wasn't hard to pick up they have no real political agenda, just hired by someone to do a job. Also, I was glad to see very low interest by the public.
Our politics is already a sad and pathetic joke, no need to make it even worse.
 
The upgrade fairy has smiled again flying back from PER.Went to check in.Wasn't paying much attention but when selecting seats came up with only 2 available to select-1A,B.
Naturally went for the A class.
