The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

So what's with Adelaide drivers? They seem super polite and mellow.

Weird. I rate them as the most selfish esp the grumpy old folk. Maybe heat kept those off the street.

Channel 9 just had a “we remember” segment with well known people who passed during the year. Such a lot of them. Quite sad really.

Ended up here for dinner, hubby wants surf and turf.

Why no pork on the menu? Theres mutton and salmon.

Checked in to Playford Gallery thingy in Adelaide, got a Loft Suite. Hubby has to go downstairs to pee during the night

Doesn’t sound great design there.
Though I remember that the Playford is a little strange. Stayed once and think we’ll go elsewhere next time. Just didn’t quite hit the mark in a few areas I felt.

Interesting, didn't notice this on the map earlier. At least it's nice and quiet in town today.

Couple nearby on a date. Sounds awkward.

He went into lengthy detail, explaining the various differences between a medium and a medium rare steak.

He not giving her much chance to speak and his face is getting redder and redder. Breathe, boy! Breathe!

Um. It’s a steakhouse? Like vegetarians you should look at the menu before you enter?

Pork has steaks... well, chops.

Sydney to Hobart looks like a tight finish though Wild Oats XI has pulled ahead a little.

This is John, John is watching cricket on his phone at full volume in the lounge. John doesn't care that it was nice and quite before he arrived.

This is Mr Denali, begging me to not to say anything.

Mrs Denali gave a set of ear phone thingies still sealed in their VA packaging and asked the Lounge angel to to give them to John. John is now stroppy, he put his phone away and is looking out the window.

There is a man at the gate, wearing a maxi skirt.

Bet you he'e feeling very cool and freeing under that. My husband slightly envies him.

Part of me wishes I could travel with you, Denali - but only to see the look on your face each time this happens. You do seem to be a magnet for this particular boorishness...

(Merry Christmas - and wishing you a *peaceful* 2018!)

I've missed that this year but have seen it in previous years. Yes quite sad.

It must have been a slow news day as I seem to recall that they did this on New Year's Eve.

They seem to do this almost every week after September these days. FTE TV is killing its own goose with repeated cheap drivel such as this. Very yawning, just like Coles and Woolies starting to sell Hot Cross buns just after Xmas and before NYE.

Money rules?

That's the nice way to do it

Battle of wits. A 53 year old has no hope against a 15 month old.
