The totally off-topic thread

cove, I was aware of how and when you get shingles - my question is: do I have to wait until I'm 50 to have the shot? Or would the fact that I had chicken pox so late in life make me less likely to get shingles anyway? Argh too many questions, I need an infectious disease specialist.

Suze2000 I am not able to answer those questions that need to be put to your medical practitioner. Don't try Dr Google.
I still have a chicken pox scar so I knew I could consider getting that shingles shot.

Anyway, so for me, I am probably going to sell up and move next year sometime.

Mates rates??

That is the plan. When are you coming over?

Also, a 3000+ bottle wine cellar is a difficult requirement when looking at new houses.

In a couple weeks?

Maaaaaate . You'll love this:



OK, its a bit plain, but it appears to fulfill your chief requirement.

Last one to look at it IIRC was QF WP.

His wife was okay with Southern Tasmania I seem to recall

I shared this on my Facebook group tonight so apologies as some of you may already have seen it. I figure it's just as applicable here on AFF

Sister was rattling off a few details for me to keep in mind when searching for flights on her next trip in Feb. She only has 90k AA and 110k VA points, so it's a competition between paying cash, burning miles, or a combination of both (in multiple tickets).

She's thinking of inviting her boyfriend to go along. She said, "Yeah, since I'm travelling with someone, should make cattle class a bit easier. That said, it's 9-11 hours between Japan or North Asia to America, so Business might be nice. If there's a good deal, I don't mind going in Business and [boyfriend] can sit in Economy. "

Didn't know whether to laugh or not....

Now this looks really cool - Floating Holiday

We may have done that....

The idea is that the new place pays for the old place? Of course that never works in practice.

I am away for a few weeks, but once I am back sounds good.

On board qf61 BNE-NRT now, 25% load is my guess.

This has been on the market for several years and featured on a TV show last year. They may be willing to negotiate

Looks like the dirt cheap Jetstar deals have cruelled the full price market.

Halloween in the states.!

About to go QF24, Bangkok - Sydney, chockers, so as usual my requested upgrade didn't go through, I've never been given one, guess I'm just unlucky
I know I shouldn't be surprised, I'm sure QF just use it as a carrot as a way to pay extra and not go for the cheaper redi deals all the time.
No point(!) in collecting QFF points anymore imo, I really don't want to buy toasters. With the change to Woolies rewards it may be time to re-evaluate my loyalty to QF, as they obviously don't think mine is worth having. It might be time to consider my options and not automatically go OW. Best fare of the day will be the future for me.
Also I originally had 24K in a refurbished plane, of course this has been substituted for the older model.
Rant over.

Maybe there should be a separate "get it of your chest" thread

Looks like Flashback has a new business concern in sunny Spain.

People are crying for QF flights out of BNE and when the loads are poor complain when the route gets axed.

Qantas can't win either way.

Having read a piece in the AFR the other week I say Fair enough. Between joining parliament in 1994 his mortgage of $350000 on his own home was double 16 years later in 2000. All this on a salary of at least $200000 per year, $300000 as a minister with Howard plus all that travel allowance, and a wife also earning good money. He clearly needs all the money he can get if he can't pay off such a small mortgage.
