The totally off-topic thread

We tried throwing the dishes in the sink in the bin after a few days when cups were in short supply, people cleaned them and kept them at their desk

I did exactly the same thing when I worked in an office. Quite effective.

If someone has 576,000 QFF points to burn, I just came across something very rare: 3 F seats on QF9 MEL-LHR are available as classic reward seats on 21 October.

Mind the gap.... Oops meant to include Erkpod's post .

Hope to never hear that again - was at Farringdon station yesterday morning and heard it echo'ing around the station non-stop (due to all the tube + national rail platforms) for the 2 minutes I was there.

As an after thought I just had a 1 egg salami omelette in butter. It was seriously good.

If you need any help sourcing, let me know...

Thanks, Mal.

I got the original from the Transport Museum in the centre of London (from memory).

I've seen similar bags at a large souvenir shop in Piccadilly Circus. It had a huge section of Tube paraphernalia .

There's no "i" icon on it.

Correct. The roll eyes/ sarcastic icon may have given me away.

Hi medhead,

All Telstra Prepaid mobile internet wifi devices are locked to the network .

Googling might be able to unlock any such device.

 

[medhead]

Thanks guys, As suspected.
I've got a device that is old. 5 years or so. The unlock is free, but it takes upto 7 days because the device is so old they have to go back to the manufacturer for a code.
Looks like I left it too late.

my dear friend's brother, a 40 year old counytry school principal with 2 young daughters and lovely wife, died this morning. He was seemingly healthy, a bit fitter than most and happy. He didn't wake up this morning. Feeling confused and sad. Another reminder to hug those we love.

That's a very young age. Very sad.

Sorry for your loss Feezable, going to get up from my office, and go sit with my husband and hold his hand while we watch some TV.

That's a very young age. Very sad.

I had a friend who was slightly older with kids, who also just did not wake up. Sad thing is that her partner arose early for a flight and she may have already passed away and he left without him realising. Her alarm went off and her kids went to see why she had not turned it off.

There is not much comfort you can give to those grieving at such a time feezable.

That is a terrible set of circumstances.....
