My niece said Aladdin was FABULOUS!

we went to Sydney a week ago to see it with Dr FM and Miss FM and loved every minute. Very light weight (obviously), but heaps of fun and the costumes and scenery were glorious!

And being a year younger than the oldest baby boomer,aproaching 70 and still working.
So they are comparing baby boomers now with the other generations now.I am not surprised baby boomers have a decreased work ethic as they get into their 60s.Seems natural to me.

Only a short delay but tonight's delay makes it the past 6 flights delayed.

What odds 3K on time tomorrow?

We are going to the Sydney show on 7th Feb 2017. Always gets good write-ups on his performances so really looking forward to it-history says we will hear a different play list to what you get

I did all three PER shows in 2014, and as we were up front in the pit, met some hard core fans who were doing *all* the shows in Oz.



Three years on, divorced and a bit more footloose, my 17 year old son and I are going to both PER shows, and as one of the BNE shows was Valentines Day, am doing a road trip for both those gigs too.

Bruce is special. It's never the same show twice in one city. There were something like 60 different songs over 3 nights in PER last time. His US shows are running close to 4 hrs each night.

If you don't understand the passion, thats okay. Just let me say this: in 2016, no amount of money will buy you a ticket to see Elvis Presley. One day, that will be true of The Boss, too. I'm blessed to be born at a time I can afford to do this, and so am grabbing the brass ring with both hands.

*cue the BTR count in* One Two Three Four!....

A recent hire, he is very disappointed that we didn't agree to a four day week (on full salary) and he works from home home

Any AFFers in there? Done right it could be a run with the chance to squeeze out some extra SCs

The King of Thailand has passed away. He was very much loved in Thailand.

I went to one - but the experience was spoiled, almost ruined, by obnoxious drunk people sitting near us that came in late and kept getting up, walking in front of us to go and get more beers/toilet whatever, plus talk and essentially take little or no notice of the show.

I was furious :evil::evil::evil::evil:.

A very popular Monarch

Hvr has started a thread. Very respected by everyone in Thailand.

Ok. Didn't think it warranted a new thread though?

Very popular monarch. Country will go into mourning for 30 days. Pretty much shuts down tourist industry as most entertainment venues will more than likely close.

And from where I am sitting in SIN right now this trip looks like another nightmare. Does it ever stop? Seriously?

3K?
Can you give us a trip report : "6 delayed flights in a row"

Yesterdays delay only short. 3K looks to be on time. Have 8C and my 29kgs checked through.

This would be an interesting experience (video is safe for work).

That is some crazy stuff Rooflyer. Be very interesting to see the videos from inside the cages. That bloke must have been knocked about a bit.

 

[Pushka]

How could they not know someone was in the cage? If this was a paid for excursion then they need to be investigated.

Actually reading what was written:

What might appear to be an aggressive great white shark trying to attack the cage, this is not the case. These awesome sharks are biting at large chunks of tuna tied to a rope. When a great white shark lunges and bites something, it is temporarily blinded. They also cannot swim backwards.

It looks to me like they are taunting the sharks and frankly deserve whatever happens to them. IMHO it is cruel to the shark.
