Is it a worry when you actually notice that Qantas has changed their on hold music?

 

[JohnK]

You spend way too much time on the phone to QF.

Find another hobby. :wink:

Hahaha... It's just that I have been on the phone to Qantas nearly everyday for the past week trying to sort of a large booking for the family.

(I was expecting an answer like that!) :wink:

for those that love the great game of cricket and that great master of the game David Boon ... BOONIE FOR PM!

30 Facts about Boonie ...

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Boonie's Gray Nicholls.

Boonie's tears don't cure cancer, but they do cure a hard earned thirst
as they are 6.2% alcohol.

Boonie doesn't shave; his beard is too scared of his mo. The only thing
that isn't scared of Boonie's mo is Boonie, and possibly Merv.

When Boonie was born, he never cried. He just rearranged his box, then
got on with the business of growing his mo.

Boonie sold his soul to the devil for his mo and unparalleled batting
ability. "Fielding at Short Leg" ability was his own doing. Shortly
after the transaction was finalized, Boonie swung his mighty Gray
Nicholls at the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who
appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it
coming. They now play back yard cricket every second Wednesday of the
month, even in the winter.

Boonie does not sleep. He waits. For your shout.

Boonie built a time machine and went back in time to stop Harold Holt
going for a swim. As a shark came near him, Boonie's mo strangled the
shark. Holt died of amazement and floated out to sea. Boonie then drank
a case.

Boonie does not drink like a horse. horses drink like Boonie

To prove it isn't that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked
15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and acquired 7 different
kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30
minutes. Then he found out about Boonie drinking 52 cans of Full
Strength beer on a flight between London and Sydney, and Chuck Norris'
cancer came back, but this time it had a bigger mo.

Boonie is currently suing Slim Dusty's estate, claiming "The Pub With No
Beer" is something that just shouldn't be joked about.

Boonie won 'Jumanji' without ever saying the word. He simply smashed the
living daylights out of everything that was thrown at him to the fence
with his Gray Nicholls, and the game forfeited.

Boonie drank his first stubbie before his dad did.

Boonie was the fourth Wise Man. He brought baby Jesus the gift of
"brew". Unfortunately, the trip along the desert following that star was
a long one, and none of the 12 cases of beer made it, hence why he was
left out of the bible.

If you can see Boonie, it is your shout. If you can't see Boonie you may
be only seconds away from a shout.

When Boonie sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a
picture of himself, crouched and ready at short leg. Boonie has not had
to pay taxes ever.

Boonie can make a woman climax by simply pointing at his mo.

Boonie once ate four 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45
minutes hitting boundaries.

Playing in England for the ashes, Boonie brought a stillborn baby lamb
back to life by giving it a prolonged mo rub. Shortly after the farm
animal sprang back to life and a crowd had gathered, Boonie out-drank
the animal, breaking its non-iron guts, to remind the crowd once more
that Boonie giveth, and the good Boonie taketh away.

After little debate, Australian Prime Ministers have always decided that
we do need to have armed forces instead of Boonie. The reasoning? It is
more "humane", and Boonie sometimes likes to go home to Tasmania instead
of touring.

Boonie once shot a British plane down with his finger, by yelling,
"Howzat!"

The original theme song to the Transformers was actually "Boonie-more
than meets the eye, Boonie-robot in disguise," and starred Boonie as a
Test Cricketer who defended the earth from drug-dealing Decepticons and
could turn into a keg. This was far too much awesome for a single show,
however, so it was divided into the "Transformers" and the "Talking
Boonie".

One of the greatest cover-ups of the last century was the fact that
Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but was in fact leg glanced
to death by Boonie.

Boonie recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage. We
know this beverage as Budwiser. Boonie won't drink it either.

There are no retired bowlers. Only bowlers who have met Boonie.

When Boonie's wife burned the snags one Boxing Day Test, Boonie never
got upset. He just got out his Gray Nicholls, and then belted the burnt
off all the snags. He got Man of the Match that day.

If you ask Boonie what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till."
After you ask, "Two seconds to what?" he sweeps your nads for four. Then
he rearranges his box, and gets on with business

Not sure if this works with QF phone systems, but works with lots of other press 1 for..... systems. I believe companies use this to can get the $$ from stupid people before they spend it on the next infomercial they see.

When given the options press a number which does NOT correspond to an option. It will tell you pressed the "wrong" button, so press it again. Usually after 3 "wrong" attempts you will be transferred through to the first available operator.

Hope this helps you avoid that dang music.
Mal.

Following Lindsay Wilson's comment on another thread passing the 10,000 views mark, I notice that this very thread is only 20 views short of cracking the 20,000 view mark.

 

[JohnK]

Not for long!

Now well over 20,000 views.

Just goes to show what is more important in the australian frequent flyer community. :roll:

 

[oz_mark]

Having a bit of fun is always important, but I think it was good to create a forum area especially for threads such as we find in here.

 

[JohnK]

Come on oz_mark don' take everything I say seriously.

My last night in Perth just having my usual stir!

 

[oz_mark]

Didn't mean to come across as being too serious. Just basically agreeing with what you said, and then adding a comment about the playground being a good idea. Some may have suggested that it should have been called the Playpen, but I am not among them.

How come I have never noticed you being a stirrer?

 

[JohnK]

Me a stirrer! Nah!

I think having fun should remain a part of mainstream AFF as long as it is not abused. Setting aside an area aside for giggles would not work.

Just my opinion.
