Cant wait for an extra hour of sleep

Used to be a bugger when I was working shifts and was rostered on for this one.

Going the other way was a different story.

And it's good night from Ronnie Corbett who has died aged 85.

I still remember that famous weather report on their "news" session:

It's cool in Goole,
Dry in Rye,
and if you go out in Lissingdown take an umbrella

Well, this is all I got from Telstra JT!

They didnt even complete my email letter!

They did it again!

Actually, that is probably related to the third disruption event for which they have not offered anything. Whereas JT's is about the second disruption that gets 25 hours of free data, in some states mainly in the south east corner of Australia.

How much more can Telstra keep going on like this?

You can't just throw free data days at this and think that fixes everything.

If this was a procured company with a contracted service, they'd be sued up to their eyeballs for non-delivery of service by now.

Pretty sure that businesses are in line for compo due to at least the 3rd set of problems, if not the second as well. Ordinary consumers get free data.

Went past a DS store and noticed they were even selling the store shelves. Rays Outdoor near Highpoint doing the same thing.

Wouldn't you just wake up earlier? Or go to sleep later?

 

[QF WP]

Very sad to hear about the second of the two Ronnies going. Can recall many a night in front of the TV (Channel 2?) listening to their series...

If I go to bed and wake up at the same times as DST then on Sunday I should get an extra hour of sleep.

I'll go to bed one hour later. Sleep is a figment of the imagination.

One day you gunna sleep forever so absolutely zero reqt to get it in this lifetime. Hell some clowns even get ST hotel rooms in SIN to sleep instead of sitting bolt upright in a chair in SQ Gold Lounge - go figure!

Bolt upright? I made a nice little bed for myself with the 2 lounge chairs. I'll post the photo in the other thread for you.

Suits me just fine. Planning another transit in SIN in September. Looking forward to saving some money on hotel for the night so I can try and get Virgin Gold again before it expires.

Is this an April fools joke from Flight Aware or is VA7 going supersonic for the last 8,226km?

More than happy to talk about ABS.*

*Anything But Sport

I thought that you were talking about THE ABS - the Australian Bureau of Statistics. I use them a lot in research. According to ABS Cat. 4177.0, of the Australian population aged 15 years and over, an estimated 60% (11.1 million people) reported that they had participated in sport and physical recreation at least once during the 12 months prior to the interview in 2013–14, compared with 65% in 2011-12.

I'm always happy to talk about the Australian Bureau of Statistics! And sport!

Has anyone seen the new Batman vs Superman film?

 

[GarrettM]

Has anyone seen the new Batman vs Superman film?

Nope. And I don't understand why they would be at odds anyway?
And... are they fighting in Metropolis or Gotham City?
And... how does Ben Affleck keep getting acting work?

So many unexplained questions.

And it's good night from Ronnie Corbett who has died aged 85.

Always loved Charlie Farley and Piggy Malone.
