Can you tell me why posts in playground don't count??
If anyone is a posting enthusiast, what the heck daytime job do they have? Or are they continually flying and thus killing time sitting in lounges on a laptop/phone?

Glad I salary sacrificed into our smsf the other day. The Greek fiasco just chewed it all up from shares.

Playground posts used to count. I think after a while, the perceived measure of contribution to AFF was wanting for the many posts in the Playground, and particularly this thread. Or at least that was the reason deduced anyway.

I disagree with the "Posting Enthusiast" title but it is there anyway.

I'd be a millionaire if playground counted!

That is rather short term thinking for an investment?

Probably. But it is painful to see a share portfolio crash and burn because of actions of another country in managing its debt - or more relevant, its discretionary spend.

This thread used to be the Playground. Posts here deemed off-topic to flying and accumulating frequent flyer points therefore don't count in post count for individual but do count in post count for AFF community.

Not sure I understand the obsession with wine or its relevance to flying and accumulating frequent flyer points but posts there count.

And some of us have way too much time on our hands.

Quick glance says it is a Skoda (aka a Czech VW, part of VAG) (I visited the factory museum last year in Mladá Boleslav as well as visiting the Audi factory in Ingolstadt.)

Skoda? It's still a fu...... Skoda.

Much better than the Ford and Peugeot I drove the other day. And very similar to the Tiguan MrP drives. But much prettier. And a Monte Carlo badge on the side which is super important. They put the ad for the 3 demos on Monday morning and all three were sold by 2pm.

Thankyou! Even MasterP who loves his cars was a little impressed when he test drove it. It even looks cute in white - which sold first. The black roof is the trick.
