Which reminds me, did you see Ben Browder all in gold in the 2nd Guardians movie? It was fleeting but we noticed.

 

[whatmeworry]

No. I was only reminded by google. Filled out a bit since his days on Stargate.

Don't now what to say about the government's new [-]slavery[/-] internship program.

The program is being expanded to allow 10,000 placements in the retail sector, including large chains such as Bakers Delight and Coffee Club, Malcolm Turnbull announced this week.

PaTH interns are paid $200 a fortnight by the government on top of their Centrelink payments and can work up to 50 hours a fortnight, including weekends. Businesses do not pay any of the intern’s wages and receive $1,000 for every intern they take on.

Im currently trying to figure out how to use Flickr to post photos to a forum via my phone and youtube/google havent helped me yet.

Apparently a well known issue so I have to delve into it more, maybe a bbccode generator or similar?

I know when I phone our IT guys, while Im explaining the issue, I can hear them typing so I figured they are on their geek forum, typing in the error message to fix.

I have our photos saved to Flickr & remember that the instructions & associated forum were of little use in learning about the site-seemed to jump steps & leave me stranded. I haven't used Flickr to directly upload to the forum.

In iOS Flickr:
Select photo
At bottom of screen click right hand pointing arror
Click "copy url"
Paste to forum

I think this works. But do you have to make Flickr album public?

Thanks. Trying your thoughts (I am self taught & obviously have limited ability!) Seems to get the photo but I would need to learn how to rename & not end up as a link instead of the actual photo

Just to add a comment: We use Flickr Stackr on iPad. Works a treat.

Well, the first week of my two-week single parent stint is over and I'm noticeably exhausted. Mrs AS left a full schedule and a freezer full of food, so minimal cooking, but it's been a real challenge. Respect to any full-time single parents here, I don't know how you do it.

Time for a strong margarita.

Roly Sussex on ABC with KHD yesterday finished his show about language with this brilliant poem.

I was on the bus to town.
On the seat in front of me
two women were chatting in Punjabi,
and the guy sitting next to me says:
“If you come to this country
you should learn to speak the language.”

I'm on my Samsung phone, I don't see a arrow icon. There is a share icon that brings up Facebook, Twitter ect but not the

code.

Took my husband to the Lindt factory today, he managed to fit 1.4kg of chocolate balls into the box. Not an easy feat.

He could have swallowed them all instead!

Just been to afternoon tea and a tour of the the Kurrajong Hotel where Ben Chifley and sundry other politicians used to stay/live. It used to be known as Government Hostel No 2 and the current Hyatt was Hostel No 1 (and supposedly a little superior). A very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Gave up on Flickr, trying Imgur.

Oh, RooFlyer... Guess what was at Bunnings and 4 are now in my yard...hubby wants to buy more.

BTW, I turned all of these at Bunnings.
