The totally off-topic thread

Maybe needs a scam thread post . Wonder how often that little mistake gets through the keeper.

That was my question to hubby. Would the agent had said anything, once they receive payment from the lawyer.

I knew something was out, just needed to look it over.

My eldest son is on a trip to Russia to watch some soccer games and he set out last night from Perth. He rarely comments on flights but I have received two texts saying the flights and lounges have been outstanding. Best flights his mothers frequent flyer points could get him is what I was thinking.
He had seat 1A.

Ah, JohnK. The TOT thread is becoming most amusing!

How old is he? Sounds very exciting.

My eldest son is 31. Yes he is on a 280,000 QF point run using Emirates First Class to get from Perth-Dubai-St Petersburg and then back Moscow-Dubai-Perth.
Yes I booked it for him on Mrscove's account because I could. Mrscove still has way more points in Qantas than any other family member.

Was it a pain to get a visa?

Wasn't painful for me Denali as I didn't have to get involved. He said the Russian language was pretty difficult. He engaged a Russian personal trainer and studied hard.

Agree with the comments, a very much under rated singer.

Did they ever release an album with that on it?

I have it on vhs as a part of a News Years Eve special, so there must be a master recording somewhere deep in the archives of the ABC.

Jeff Beck and Beth Hart, what's not to like?

Anybody else hear this on RN this afternoon? http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-brian-ritchie-darkness/8608266

Milwaulkee/Violent Femmes to Hobart, quite an adjustment I would have thought!

I am a dual citizen with a country that was visa free travel to Russia. They joined the EU, and that was the end of that. I am eligible for citizenship to a third country which would give visa free travel to Russia. Don't know if I could be bothered but any land/property my father owns in that country can only go to me if I take out another bloody citizenship.

 

[Flashback]

I feel sad that Channel 10 has slumped into a form of bankruptcy with Korda Mentha handling the company in administration. I hope that the business can recover for the sake of so many employees.

Sad that they seem to be blaming piracy as the reason for their failings as a broadcaster.

My husbands birthday today.

He got his free loyalty member boost juice, red rooster meal and $50 of his Levis purchase with his birthday money gift. Hes about to swing past Wendys for a free icecream and then home for a food coma crash.

I told him he can get free subway for dinner for free as well if he wants - he wants chicken broth to detox.

Edit: and he wants to do Gold Class this weekend and we have enough points to free tickets

While on Safari in the middle of nowhere, I managed to arrange a very nice birthday cake for Mrs Flashback. She was impressed. It doesn't matter where we are in the world (it was Myanmar last year) I always deliver on that one little item. It's the small things that count.

Interesting... so seems that Trump is repealing Obama's decisions on Cuba. Should make for an interesting next couple of months..

He was online on the plane too, sending messages on FB.

Apparently as the trip is part of some Socceroos fans package there's no need for a visa. That's my understanding based on previous comments.

IIRC it was on Dead&Alive.
