The totally off-topic thread

i used to wear a ski suit to Dr FM's netball games - 8am outside in Canberra's winter. The other mothers laughed at me, but I didn't care - I was warm!

I used to have to play 8am games of netball in netball skirts in the midst of a North Canterbury (NZ) winter, where the ground was still white with frost until mid afternoon!

snap - well sort of . We are staying at the Westin. Had a wonderful 4 hours walking around Vivid last night - Botanic gardens were particularly beautiful this year. Today is shopping and then taking Dr FM to dinner at the Bridge Room for her birthday.

Hope you are enjoying/ enjoyed The Bridge Room. Highly rate that restaurant.

There is another place just down (opposite where Rockpool was) called Bouche on Bridge which is worth checking out.

What score?

I used to go to Waverley in the 90's hoping they would kick a goal ...
Glad I'm not in Adelaide tonight ... They are back there in a couple of weeks

Look for hawks to two or three early goals in the third quarter as the umpires even the frees up.

I need to dig out my gloves for those mornings where the steering wheel is too cold to touch...

I have mittens now to stop the ghouly white hands I now get. Even wear them typing on the computer.

My husband is a fan of fingerless gloves in winter, so he can still type ect.

We found merino ones on our last trip to Canberra, at $40 a pair! But once you touched them, you had to buy them.

You wouldn't want a heated steering wheel in summer?

Thats when you turn it off, like I turn off my heated seats in winter.

Surprisingly, leather seats in summer hasnt been an issue. I was worried about it but surprised.

I was looking at hiring a Jag for our Scotland trip. Hertz Prestige is twice the price of Thrifty but Thrifty say "Jag XE or similar". Whats similar to a Jag XE?
