The totally off-topic thread

[JohnK]

In the "It cant be so" topics I visited my AFF page today to see that it has had 100000 visits.

Excellent. I thought mine was high but yours is miles ahead.

It's the photos (drron) and the shopping adice (rainbowgirl).

Drron and his golfing trousers??

 

[blackcat20]

I've had 50k hits; not sure whether to feel pleased or terrified....

Is there a setting you can change so that only logged in members can read your profile page? I'm trying to figure out why 6000 members( or possibly non members) have looked at my page.

Any number of reasons.

To send you a PM, to view your posts or threads you started, view your friends and anything else that may interest them. It basically means you are popular. The more you post the more hits you'll get.

It makes sense that drron and Princess Fiona have such a high page visit count. Doesn't explain why I have had 90,000+ page visits. Perhaps it's all the controversy.

Pushka made me do it
Book another QM2 cruise that is.
I'm sure she'll write a great TR.

Personaliser open. Only took about four goes to get in. No info re formal nights. I had forgotten about formal nights. Maybe 2? Must see if I kept any of the old frocky things. Tiaras. Dazzling faky gold bracelets. Etc.

We could start a TR now and make it the longest TR ever!

Don't be cruel to the AFF community. I'm guessing your friends won't thank you. I can just see the posts: "Today I went to Myers looking for..... but didn't buy anything. I wonder if ....Only 340 days to go and I'll try and post something everyday." Just like some of the posts on Cruise Critic!

Friday 13th..... got that dreaded phone call..... "mum, I've had a car accident, come and get me".

80km country road, women in front stops to cross double lines to pull on to verge on other side of road, where her ex has flashed his lights and put his emergency flashers on to get her attention.

Got my daughters attention instead - What's wrong?" then promptly runs up the back of her, sending her across the road and into a fence pole (which was pretty much close to where she wanted to be anyway)

Air bags went off, could not get out of drivers door, her 2 year old Mazda 2 looks to be a right-off.
She will be a bit sore for a few days me thinks.....

That's awful BB. Lucky she was not more badly injured. Hope she is feeling better soon.

Forget the car, sounds like she is relatively unscathed from a big bingle. That's the main bit.

Don't hesitate to get her seen medically (GP, Emergency dept etc) - if for nothing else than in case anything else crops up later as she'll be eligible for medical cover for any arising issues.

Have already had her xrayed. Bit of swelling, sore now the adrenaline has worn off. Asleep on my bed. Now to shuffle cars so she can still get around.
Had my palm read once... She said "you would kill anyone that hurt yr kids... & I mean you would do them harm."
My reply.... Without hesitation. They dont call me Mumma Bear without reason.

Lucky! I wonder if they guy can be charged with improper use of his lights?

It sounds like it will be an insurance nightmare as far as "fault" goes. Best of luck getting things sorted out and thanks for being a wonderful mother.

I am trying to work out how the accident happened? But usually someone running into someone else's rear is at fault.

Not when the car in front is making an illegal manoeuvre...

Here is the weird thing. In SA, our Transport Minister has said it is ok to cross over double lines if we are passing a cyclist as we now have to pass with a metre distance! And sadly, Insurance companies will say that every car must leave a distance in front to avoid unexpected issues up ahead.

Friday 13th has been great news for MasterP who after several 'coming in second' for a commercial electrical apprenticeship, has just been told he has got one!

Crossing double lines? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Here you just trundle along behind until you reach a section of road where you can overtake legally. I'd still investigate the use of headlights and illegal crossing of lines, couldnt hurt...

Congrats to MasterP!

Going to be spending a large chunk of this weekend painting our en suite bathroom. Taubmans Crumb Cookie for anyone interested.
Bathrooms are the worst. Trying to work around tiling, sinks, toilets and all that.

At least I can get high off the fumes I guess.

Am I too late to tell you to go Dulux GarrettM?
My brother flew the Australian Dulux paint to his south of France home because he knows it will not need repainting.
Naturally he is a PhD scientist and his PhD school mate perfected the paint before he retired from Dulux.

No not too late. I haven't splashed out on the paint yet. That's just the colour she chose. It can be modified.
I'm not brand dedicated I have used all the major names.
