The totally off-topic thread

Wow! There had better be a TR or two. Or at least some photos at the following ADL do.

Love doing the TR's JessT. As long as the App stays functional. As good as a diary for later reading but with pictures.

And now, am into planning for Alaska in June 2016. Already booked one 7 night cruise and next month Princess will open for me to book the other leg. Rounded off with a road/rail trip into the Rockies. A big birthday celebration that - with birthday and wedding anniversary being celebrated in the midst of College Fjord.

In between, try to see the bears grabbing salmon out of mid air at Brooks Falls; Seaward for whale and glacier cruising.

I think I just hatched a plan to make being in Cairns 16-18 October seem like a great idea for my family

You sound like a seasoned traveller! The excursions are $$$$ so need to get the biggest bang for the buck. Sounds corny but I'm also looking at the private excursion on the Deadliest Catch boat. Love that show.

Now I need to work out how to get to Vancouver cheaply. Maybe via Honululu and then Alaskan Air?

We did this tour during our inland passage cruise. It was great but expensive if booked from the cruise boat

Blatant cross post:

There has been a last minute cancellation from the AKL Dinner March 7. So there is one place available.

Great I got tonsillitis. Something I haven't got since my teens.

The owner of the coffee shop across the road offered me a job. Tempting, except it won't cover my travel.

But you could walk to work, so wouldn't need to travel.

Yes, good one, I did leave that open. But said offer is at a coffee shop across the road from my current workplace not my usual place of residence. Just for clarity.

Here's a deal - Fuji Xerox copy paper currently at $6 ream at Woolworths:



But if you buy 5 reams at a time it's $10 / carton = $2 ream:



And a close up:



This is very good quality paper - Cruiserette has bought 30 odd cartons over last month or so @ $15/carton - I have checked 2 Woolies Stores tonight and will be buying 50 cartons tomorrow morn - go get 'em kids - you won't see cheaper!

Didn't have them ripped out when you were a teen with the condition?

They stopped doing that about 30 years ago.

Nope. I had mine out 25 years ago, and a friend had hers out during uni.

Was perusing a competitors website last night and took a look at their 'About Us' blurb. It was scarily familiar for a website I'd never been to before. Turns out I wrote it, for my website, and they've done a hack job of removing my business name and replacing it with theirs.

Scum. I don't think there's anything you can do though. Your text should be copyright, but it is unlikely to be easy to enforce, and proving you had the text first is also problematic.

Maybe a stern letter could be a sent as a warning.
