The totally off-topic thread

Morning, have you had your thyroid checked?
Happy Travels. John.

All good in that department.

More related to sleep quantity and quality this week catching up on me.

. The school clearly thought differently as they awarded Dux (prior to exam results being released) to someone else..

I topped Matric at my school, but Dux of School is awarded to student with highest marks doing 2nd year matric. I wanted to get on with my life, plus not another year of school fees for my folks to pay.

5th martini and she's now reached loud and groping husband stage. Currently yelling pleasantries at the strangers 6ft away,asking where are they from.

Worst thing is I can't book a single flight ......

Finally found a good conveyancer to explain the purchase process and check out our contract.

You should have asked.

The conveyancer I use (and the rest of family also) is excellent. She works out of her house, but really knows her stuff, and does absolutely everything for you (and does it right). 1 simple bill. Very reasonable rates, and always "on call". She is particularly generous with her time of reviewing multiple contracts / s32s.

Sounds similar; mine is flat rate for all including disbursements. Emailed me from home because the work email was down. Very helpful over the phone and has given the contract the green light.

I always have mine done by a legal firm, reduces the risk

If you're a current Aldi mobile customer and want to get a one year superpack (unlimited calls and 42Gb data) log on and buy it immediately. Although the site says you have until 1700 hrs it is crashing frequently and may take an hour or so get through.

They always give such tight timelines on their point related specials - is this just because their volumes are down for the month? or is it a seasonal thing? (or both)

We've gone with a conveyancer who specialises in land and land developments.

Purchase pressure

Conveyancers seriously earn their money. Dont drive flashy cars. Are nice. As opposed to Real Estate Agents who - well, reverse everything I just posted.

I wouldn't comment, if people kept their private business, private.

This is Joe.

Joe's a divorced dad and is seeing his kids this weekend.

Joe's on the phone to possibly his ex.

Joe: I was going to take them hiking and maybe a movie.

Joe: What? So I'm suppose to bring them gifts when I visit? Spending time with me, doing things together isn't good enough? Isn't that the point of visitation, now I have to buy them a necklace from Tiffany's so I can visit?

Joe sounds like a better person than Todd...

We have a V8 car race smack bang in the middle of the city this weekend. Causes gridlock every year for 2 weeks and while I know Sydney and Melbourne has this all the time, their population is massive compared with ours.

But our Govt in all their wisdom has banned the grid girls. Sexist and all that and they SAY they are spending that money on sponsoring women's racing teams. Today those women are all glammed up in white body suits strutting their stuff. So much for ideology.

But the thing which I dont swallow is that by banning grid girls, the Minister is dictating what women should wear, just like a Father figure would say to their daughter. Ironic much?

Joe might not be making the flight at all.

It's overbooked by 16 people. Current offer is $600 delta dollars and a hotel room for tonight and rebook on tomorrow's flight.

Joe is on the phone with someone, discussing the offer.

 

[Denali]

Joe is pissed. He took $600 and its now up to $800.

Joe obviously hasn't read the Delta compensation thread on Flyer Talk.

 

[Denali]

Oversold by six and current offer is $1000USD, a hotel and food vouchers to fly tomorrow. Joe should have waited.

 

[Quickstatus]

We were in the auction for Delta dollars. Went to $1000++ and they wanted 5 pax. I did not get there quickly enough because it was down to 4 when I got to the counter. We were 5 pax.

Methinks Joe will be quickly relieved of $600 as he is now in credit with Delta$600. No amount of explanation will get the ex to believe it's not real$$

 

[ttep]

Joe should've assessed the demand supply situation
