The totally off-topic thread

Right, I've just finished mowing the lawn, now it's time to sit back with an Epiqure Chardonnay and monitor the AKL dinner thread and wait for the Tahs v Reds

I can second this, I loved Ross when I was in the states. Great for business shirts too. Leather belts that are $80 at David Jones might be $10-20

Ditto that, we went to the shops in Vegas, only picked up "name brand" items at bargain prices, or end of the line gear as I call it.

Couldn't download the newspaper in press reader this morning. Have VA stopped providing this?

That would be a record for me ... off VA8 at 6:44am to catch 6:51am train and I was in the shower cubicle at the VA domestic lounge by 7:00am ... on the dot ... that included the complimentary lint removal service at VA premium security ...

I did have to sprint the last 60 metres to catch the train which was a minute late ... it would have been half an hour until the next one ...

I suspect that serfty meant the priority security queue.

BNE doesn't have a premium entry like SYD, serfty is commenting on the left hand side "premium security" team at BNE Dom. Then it sounds like he got the ion scan

Terrible news from Argentina that 2 helicopters have crashed killing all 10 on board. They were ferrying contestants in a French reality TV program, including a female swimming Olympic Gold medallist and male boxing champion.

Joyful watching someone, who has taken considerable amounts of my time over a very low risk, walk diagonally across a busy intersection completely ignoring any concept of pedestrian safety.

Still it's a living, the kids are fed.
