The totally off-topic thread

[thewinchester]

Night shots? With a camera? A gun? a bottle of Scotch?

Camera actually. Although if I had a gun and bottle of scotch, the rather hot female AFP bicycle cop would have jumped me. Those sweater melons (top bollocks, puppies or whatever you might call them) of hers were quite impressive under that rather tight hi-viz yellow top.

Apologies to the ladies of the forum for those remarks.

A gun sounds preferable seeing as it is Canberra :mrgreen:

Come on, Canberra's not that bad. (ducks flying bottles and shrapnel)

Sure, the place is a carbon copy of Adelaide on Sunday night with not a single thing open entertainment wise but if you're a history/science/nature buff then you could easily spend a week or two here and still not be board.

But probably look like one.
At least it obviously gives you time to catch up on AFF.

Hmm. Cryptic. Hope you're ok !

Yes it was a little cryptic. :-| Just a little self inflicted punishment yesterday and felt like the end of the world earlier on today. I am OK now until the next time....

Canberra: The city of closed down places. You can't even go somewhere in the CBD to buy a bottle of water or three tons of ice to cool a corpse with after 10pm.

Most times it is cold enough to cool a corpse by simply leaving it outside :!:

I must admit I was taken by surprise by the reference to "heat stroke". I wondered for a short while if there was another Canberra, in NT perhaps?!

With a little detective work and our luggage uncovering their secrets I now have the travel details for the family on 21/11.

QF Road Courier-22/11.Dep BNE-0800.Arrived Caloundra-0915.

.

Where's the bags trip report?

I want to know how they found the free-range carriage on the 73H vs the containerised service on the 330. Was it worth the extra, and would they use a points upgrade to be in the container again? How did the a/c travel compare to the road trip - would they have preferred to transit SYD again and fly to MCY rather than endure the road trip?

Thanks to the AFF'ers who caught up with me tonight for some food and a drink or two, or three, or even more...

Special mentions go to "Brett Godfrey" and "Alan Joyce" who arrived on the Eurostar together and came out for the drinks.

Only another 4971 posts till we hit the 10,000 mark.:!:
(But who's counting.)(And I only need 168 more to reach 1000!)

Good to catch up, even if I did have to drink with a competitor

4 pints to a jug is where it's at.

It looked for a while the "Free Gold Velocity" thread was going feral and could overtake all comers but that has settled now.
