The totally off-topic thread

Interesting. Looking online for rings etc and found a gorgeous US site where you can create your own rings, select stone etc and have them shipped for good prices to AUS plus 30 day return policy. So the settings are gorgeous, and just wondered what a 40 year wedding anniversary ring might cost, being ruby. So I select the "anniversary by year' - and the ruby apparently now kicks in at 15 (WT?) and Emerald at 20, that is the longest year you can select?

Are we talking real diamonds/gem stones or lab created?

Real ones of course.

Every time I price up a ring upgrade, we end up going on a holiday instead

Do not use your licence number for this purpose. Way too much of a fraud risk. Your licence number is basically an open door to identity theft.

You dont enter your drivers license info, but you nominate info for your doggy for its ID tag, like a phone number, vet, breed ect and upload a photo of your pet. Its a cute thing, not a come to my house in the middle of the night and kill me and steal my ID thing.

Women are born with that expertise.

Would a trip to Dubai to source/buy be worth it?

The thing I liked about James Allen is you can examine each stone in extremely high magnification, plus chat to one of their stone experts who will talk you through it. Theyll even circle the imperfections etc while you chat to them. They're all GIA certified and ethical as well, and the packaging the come in is amazing.

It's AFF - a trip to Dubai via AKL, EZE, MIA, LHR and AMM would be worth it......

Costco.com diamonds are worth looking into as they are a big diamond seller.

Meanwhile at the Qantas AGM the upgrade fairy worked her magic on Mrscove’s flight to get her home. She was impressed that the text came during the meeting.

Agree. But that’s the honeymoon plan. Plus she likes rose gold and that’s rather tricky in Dubai.

So your post has just been texted to him in full.

Well I must say that AFF played a huge part in getting them F on EK 380 all the way from Manchester, Dubai for 3 nights, then Sydney then J onto Adelaide. Couldn’t have done it without AFF. Sorry no invites to the wedding.

After a flurry of flying activity in the past few weeks that got me back into the Platinum skies...I'm back in the doldrums, not knowing when I'll be flying again..

Dollar has dropped, sharemarket dropped -just what the country needs more chaos in Government. Roberts is the only one who deserved to be booted, as he clearly had concerns and couldn’t get off his rear end to sort it out. The rest is just a travesty.
