The totally off-topic thread

[samh004]

Just watched the national anthem at the Melbourne Grand Prix, didn’t think Gabriella Cilmi could be heard over the Qantas Choir

Loved the A380 flypast with the RAAF Roulettes off each wing. Very cool. And good to see they had John Travolta there too.

Who’s going to win?

I was on a Q400 waiting to take off to DPO when the A380 took off from MEL followed by one of the RAAF planes-too quick and too high as it went past but the noise was impressive.
This was my third NEHC trip in the last 6 weeks-not even hand carry!Despite this I was still selected for the secondary explosives check.Dont know where they thought i might be carrying it-mine is certainly not a strapon beer gut
Liked the 400-only 45 minutes to DPO instead of the normal hour.

Hey what has happened to the post counts-have I missed something on my weekend off-I was closing in on 3000 and now back to 2402.Sam was fast closing in on me and I notice he has gone back to under 2000.:shock:

[drron]

OK went back a page and found out why the count dropped.Amazing I was directed to the last post-not the last i had read.Oh well.

Hmm. DST started this morning here...

What phone model? Which timezone is it set to? Could be a firmware bug. Or if you have Automatic Timezones or Operator pushed time/date, then it could be a telco issue.

Glad I didn’t have to explain… but don’t worry, I’m still closing in on you

…but not with this post!

If he's with Telstra (most likely) I'd be inclined to say carrier issue

I appear to be in townsville at the mad cow drinking. I have bourbon and phone reception again!

 

[samh004]

I had my rum a little earlier…

If you haven’t been online in a few days, you might notice a few more changes

 

[QF WP]

I'm sure karens will notice the changes in a couple of areas....the first will be that absence should have made Flashware's heart grow fonder. I'm sure that a long telephone call has ensued.

 

[samh004]

Haha perhaps.

Interesting how this thread has slowed down since the playground was taken off the personal tally. I think I might be talking to myself a lot in here from now on

Hee hee hee the phone call consisted of me drunkenly yelling that I had gotten in with 5 minutes to spare on curfew and that I had been asked for ID twice.

Why was I drinking bourbon last night? I started with beer.

 

[Bundy Bear]

Haha perhaps.

This thread usually has its stops and starts and usually has some interesting discussion.

The fact that this forum doesn't count for posting numbers shouldn't matter to most people.

....ain't nobody here but us chickens....

Baah, Baah, Baah.........

Hey hey hey:!:

What are you doing here, sheep! Aren't you supposed to be back in Kiwiland? (Perhaps on LA800?) :mrgreen:



On a more 'serious' note, I do agree that the spirit of this forum should not falter away just because posts in our mother-of-all-social-and-other-assorted-nonsense thread don't count to our personal records any more.
