The totally off-topic thread

Our own Act One has been running for many years. Back home we live on half an acre so you rarely hear the neighbors at all.
Living in an apartment or a flat as the English call it gives you a bigger chance of a Coronation Street style of drama than where we are in Perth.
I do hope he can patch things up with a lot of smooth talking.

Friends were flying LAX-SYD but was bumped to LAX-MELB with 3x upgrade to QF PE on the 787.

Pity their bags didn't get bumped as well
Just what you want, after travelling for 30hrs and arriving during a heatwave. Back to Sydney int to find their bags.

Cool breeze here. Temps dropped from about 40 to 27, should be good for sleep.

And I cooked beef brisket today.

Channeling your inner Mrs Wolowitz?

So what do you do in a place thats minus Temps?

I am enjoying walking around - with a brief stop for coffee (and wifi atm). Most shops are closed on Sundays so it is pretty quiet.

I am heading to the National Gallery to scream at some local art.

I bit the bullet today and finally upgrade my iPad to iOS 11 and quickly found a point of frustration. To insert an exclamation mark, it’s not simple. Now you have to hold down the up arrow to access it. It used to be that you simple hit the 123 buttton and it was there.

New shortcuts! Just quickly flick any key downwards to get the character shown on the top of the key. Very useful for numbers, punctuation etc!!

They always say that when you start to look like your passport photo it is time to go home!

It’s funny. Recently on entry to Australia my photo has been rejected and have had to go to counters. Which means I look worse than the photo. What the heck does that say!!!!

Are you allowed to smile? If not, then probably not!

No smile allowed as they don’t want to see teeth apparently. Classic mug shot.
