Where is the slow motion button!

I replayed it 6 times and am off to try it out. I suspect pure cotton may not be so successful.

It was on Better Homes and Gardens many years ago, so a Google search of the show may turn up something a little clearer.

Whoops! During lunch at Euro in AKL today I asked the waiter where the men's room was, "go back towards the entrance, turn right etc etc". After my second visit I said to Mrs Rugby that i don't like these unisex bathrooms as I had to queue up waiting forever. She advised me that they didn't have unisex bathrooms and that I should take the second right, not the first :oops: FWIW the ladies was much cleaner than the blokes.

And you were wondering why that urinal was positioned so high... :shock:
 
Weird dream. Flying bne to I didn't remember. Had been flying for a while. Look out the window to see car headlines rather close, think good we're landing. Next thing the plane hits the ground and does a little skidding drift to a stop. Everyone's good, thinking time to evacuation. Next thing the engine fire up, plane reverses up the high way, FA comes on and says the pilot recognises that as the beaudesert macdonalds. Next thing we're parked up in the macdonalds carpark.

Weird bit, I was in about row 23.

So, what were you drinking last night?
 
I am going to Adelaide on Tuesday so I will do a water colour check in the bathroom basin to see if it looks like it has been drunk previously.

Seems Canberra water might be citric acid infused as well. Only just catching up with newspaper reading from 24 Feb. But it seems the knighthood for Sir Prince Phillip was raised with the public service in November. Then the letters patent had to be changed, which happened on 18 December to then be sent to the Queen for signature. The queen then knighted her hubbie on 7 January.

Who am I to argue that sending documents back and forward to the public service, drafting legal letters patent and sending them to the other side of the world isn't a captain's call undertaken with minimal consultation? :rolleyes:

It's been mentioned elsewhere and discussed widely but it was a stupid stupid descision. out of touch with the voting public.

I'm more reflecting on how much deeper it appears to have been. I could accept "I made a decision" even if it was a stupid decision. But these details were a surprise.

Btw I thought I first heard about the knighthood in this thread.

totally agree. There wasn't anything about this being a 'simple' decision. alot of thought and time went into it. what a waste of time and resources
 
I won the monthly medal yesterday and we also won the playoff for the B Grade Fourball championship.

Playing with social club today and quarter final of match play at Fox Hills and giving my best friend 15 shots. I was 4 up with 8 to play and playing well. Then he won next 6 holes so I was 2 down with 2 to play and I won next 3 holes to win at the 19th. Played the par 5 9th hole as our 18th twice and crushed driver then rescue to 50-60 metres from green and bogeyed in regulation from trees first time to half the match and then parred the 19th in regulation. He found water both times.

Now I have to give 12 shots at Beverley Park in a month. Bring it on.
