The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

Self woven hemp thongs aside I suspect

Why would they wear those on their feet, surely they're better under their pants/skirts/etc.

Something magical about row 4. I just moved to row 4D for Fridays flight even though 4EF appear allocated. That could be a Platinum One with a shadow.

Or it could be a status holder with their partner (who may also hold status) who just want to sit together. Not all people are weirdos like us and select the A & C seat, hoping no one will take the B seat

Apologies, jandals

Funny when there are 2 people in a conversation and both have different accounts of what was said.

I once witnessed a bank robbery. Both myself and the other witness couldnt agree if the guy went to the left or the right, when running away from the bank.

There was only 2 options and 2 different witness statements.

When I travel with my wife I try to select the C & D seats.

Surely that should be in the humour thread!

Was in one of the specialty food shops at Mawson yesterday and was very surprised to see products from Syria for sale. They included tinned peas and gherkins and others bits and pieces. The peas had a canning date of 2016 and an expiry date of 2019. Had to buy to some to try.
Nice to see that at least some semblance of normality maybe occurring there.

You read funeral home notices?

Surely that should be in the humour thread!

And or the Grammar thread.
“Why myself”... seriously!!

Well, my name wasnt in any of them so figured I had to go to work...

I just do no sugar tonic ... Merely have to worry about gin carbs with that ...

It can taste a bit off though.

Different topic. I was the same age as the elder Beaumont child Jane. Their childhood was my childhood. Their disappearance dominated our growing up. Things changed after their disappearance. There are real thoughts that finally the mystery will be solved after years and years of false hope.

The only other soft drink I have is tonic - with gin

Then this is for you:



I was given it for Christmas by some very dear friends. A local Tassie gin of course (the industry is booming here) and absolutely delicious (and expensive). 'Botanicals' is an over-used buzz word for gins, but that exactly what comes to mind with the taste. Of course, since I'm mostly on the wagon these days, they and others have 'helped' me drink it over the past month.

I think I have coke once or twice a year. Sometimes it just hits the spot. The only other soft drink I have is tonic - with gin. And ginger beer/ale a few times a year. Just too many calories in soft drink.

I am the same - you can count on one hand the number of soft drink I have in a year, Coke and Ginger Ale only, I don't drink beer, spirits or red wine - but lets not count the Sav blanc

Ah. Well I am known to have a tipple of most types of alcohol. The alcohol I don’t mind, it’s the calories in soft drink I avoid.

I love the Sud Polair gin from Tassie!

My drinking at the moment is the Four Pillars Xmas Gin, the Archie Rose Summer Gin and a Kiwi one called Ariki.

Can too much Coke Zero, Coke No Sugar, Pepsi Max cause you harm?

How much do you consider is too much.. Probably depends on the type of day you are having. Are you imbibing said beverages to combat hangover or jetlag or lack of sleep
