The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

This will now get very very interesting

Not really but it might get nasty which is unfortunate as that’s already begun before this news.

The rest is just a travesty.

So ask for a rewrite of the Constitution.

So ask for a rewrite of the Constitution.

And it should - seriously who gives a stuff that someone with Australian parents was born in Canada and spent 11months there. That is oweing allegiance to another country? The law can be a total cough sometimes.

There are some very nice rose gold engagement rings on the net, very pretty.

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.

Know a guy doing a PhD on the origins of certain types of diamond bearing rocks. His trick is to look at 'fluid inclusions' in diamonds. These are sub-microscopic 'bubbles' of liquid that were trapped when the diamond formed, way deep down, therefore being a snapshot of the composition of the host rock (sort of). You get your diamond (preferably not from Tiffanies), and zap it wit an electron microprobe and measure the chemical composition of the fluid. Then chuck the blasted diamond on the 'remainders' pile.

Nice to see Roo Flyer hasnt been detained yet so no need to set up a GoFundMe at this stage

So who is in charge of the country at this point?

If things are not meant to be then don't try to fight them. Gets you nowhere.

Today is the day I have 2 JQ bookings and returning tomorrow on 2 JQ bookings.

Must remember for some stupid reason there is no 2:11pm train stopping at Toowong on a Friday. Got the bus and just missed the 2:45pm train at Milton after going home to get bag. Waited for the 3:00pm train and just missed the 3:02pm train to OOL.

Now waiting for 3:32pm train which should get me to OOL at ~5:37pm for a 6:30pm JQ flight carry-on only and checked in online.

What else could possibly go wrong....

 

[JohnK]

And the funny thing about it all is the 3:32pm train departed 2 minutes late at 3:34pm.

Thinking does my head in....

Some awful weather in Adelaide. Cold yesterday. Hot northerly winds - very strong at times - today. Not nice. Dirty weather.

Not bad here today - perhaps you should move
But - a reasonable thunder storm yesterday evening.

The minority government led by Michael Turnbull.

Not really but it might get nasty which is unfortunate as that’s already begun before this news.

Doesn't help when the government of day, launches obvious multiple politically raids against opposition parties. Makes Australia look like a Banana Republic. Just Karma biting the government in the rear end.

We sent some of our company products to another level in our building yesterday, because we've changed packaging and couldn't get rid of it all.

Today they sent us a box of their products... Win for both!

Well it seems that both sides know a lot about forming minority governments.

Silly me for thinking the AFP were independent.

Weather has been really strange recently.

But - a reasonable thunder storm yesterday evening.

When the thunder started one dog insisted on going into the bedroom to hide on the bed. The other paced up and down whining and trying to see the rabbit and trying to get me to bring it inside. Mr Rabbit was quite safe and dry in his hutch but the dog has never accepted that. He doesn’t mind when it rains, but if there is thunder involved he starts worrying about the bunny

Still in Greece; let's see in another 48 hours or so.

I shall take charge again when I return.

I have finished wiring up the dual battery in my car. With a little luck I will be able to run two fridges on my trip across the Simpson. One running as a freezer for the ice for the G&T of course!

Now that's what I call talent and creativity

What a great JQ flight. Be tired and sleep through it and come out the other end full of energy.
