The totally off-topic thread

[Happy Trails]

So how would you abbreviate breakfasts?

Breakys? Brekkys? Brekkies? Breaky just does not look right to me - I have removed the apostrophe to keep the pedantic happy.

Given the ingredients, it should be Big Breaky Windy.

Personally I would go for "Big Brekky"

But for the pedantic the ' is correct. The Fried egg, bacon, chorizo, and etc. are all owned/possessed by the "Big Breaky".

An interesting interpretation there.

Very droll.

Think I have dry eyes. Should try using Systane.

Dry eyes often occur in people who do a lot of screen work, through developing a fixed stare at the screen.

Just one of the little trials and tribulations sent to test us as we traverse the rich tapestry of life.

But hey I'm no doctor, just speaking from experience.

My current trial is temperature elevation leaving me feeling totally blick (is that a word?). Popping 8 panadol a day to keep the temp down, but its not been much fun on hols in MAD/ODA/BCN, at this time.

I have used this - I think it is quite good.

You get it at the chemist.

Sounds like a good enough explanation to me.

When I used to drink alcohol a cold bottle of beer resting/pushed against the eyelids for a few seconds would work wonders.

Just dropped the Samsung S5, screen down, in aerobridge. It has a protective screen. There are about 7 cracks. Can't tell if the protective screen has taken the impact or the phone's screen is cracked.

Not a good day today.

Mystery solved.

Internet very slow. 2.4GHz wifi network light flashing over time.

Everything in the house connected to the 5GHz network, except daughter's iPod touch. Turns off wifi and internet is all good again. Apparently she is listening to guevera via offline songs. What's the bet guevera has just been madly downloading those offline songs?

Still it's good to know as I thought someone was stealing the wifi, so much so I even turned on MAC filtering.

An interesting interpretation there.

Not that interesting, just correct.

Get onto the big breaky's list of things that belong in the big breaky. It indicates possession.

The spelling of breaky on the other hand...

Check the touch response of the screen. If it works as well as before, likely no material damage has been done, although aesthetically it may not be as appealing as before.

When you say protective screen, do you mean a film cover or an actual separate screen (e.g. made of durable plastic, thin glass or the like)?

An eye catching ad I noticed at NRT last night.Love the website address-

Separate screen. Think made of plastic. Glue looks like it has come off from part of the protective screen but don't want to peel it off just yet. Another 5 weeks before Thailand.

Will try this one too. I have a line up of tried products so why not? Love Chemist warehouse prices. I also get the biotene mouthwash for a related issue. Its about half the price that Coles charge.

Getting 'onto' the back of a big brekky? The big brekky will carry you through to lunch? In which case the apostrophe would be correct - even if the spelling isn't!

(As in get onto our big brekky's back... or sommit...)

This seems ok but is the effect coughulative? Eyes are still super itchy. I also purchased one that is intensive - and blurred my eyes so much I think it will be in the bin.

I'm attending a black tie event tonight, so I've got my best Bintang T-Shirt and black bow tie ready to go.

 

[love_the_life]

I have had no luck with any of the eyedrops supposed for allergies; they sting my eyes terribly and I end up redder and more sore than before. I just use good old Visine Advance.

 

[love_the_life]

You cut a very sophisticated figure penegal. The juxtaposition of the tie and the T-shirt adds a certain something, just not sure what though
