The totally off-topic thread

If youre in the mood to totally judge travelling idiots, Idiots of Angkor

Edit: and what is it with yoga devotees thinking temples are the time and place for them to break out into downward dog? Reminds me of when we were on Easter Island and these older hippy new ager's from the US were thumping drums, waving crystals and "trying to wake the ancestors", which pissed off a local so much that police were called to escort the new agers away. Some crystal kicking was involved.

Much like this: nanomonkey on Twitter

Picture if you will the first rays of sunrise gently brushing Kata Tjuta. An expectant, awed hush comes over the reverent watchers. A baby boomer starts playing Here Comes The Sun at high volume on her goddam_ phone. True story.

My battle with the NRMA continues, they created a totally new human on my CTP policy that doesnt exist and now the RMS is threatening to cancel my registration because of this.

Agent: Ms Denali, we fixed this on the 22nd May.
Me: Then why did I get a letter from the NRMA dated 23rd May where you advise me youve added this fictional person to the CTP. When I phoned you on the 23rd, I was told by your agent that the RMS advised the NRMA of this new person but Ive phoned and been to the RMS, there is no record at all of this person that the NRMA has made up and when I look at my CTP online, it nominates this other person that never existed.
Agent: *crickets-too hard basket*

*sigh*

Update: Was told that last year I nominated Mr Madeupname so its all my fault... but! Last year CTP was with Allianze not NRMA and only in my name (I keep everything).

What's wrong with this notice?

 

[love_the_life]

Apart from it should be “official opening of”, is this a trick question? Is the photo of somewhere else?
Or to be totally correct perhaps it should be its local suppliers as it is a singular noun.
Though I did notice a typo on the actual menu.

Dates, photo, phone number, email is good.
Can’t see anything wrong

 

[RooFlyer]

Not a trick question. Something missing that I certainly would want to know.

 

[Denali]

Wrong cutlery to eat oysters? OHS issue with the glass? Sun in the wrong spot/photoshoped?

 

[RooFlyer]

No

 

[Denali]

The address?

 

[RooFlyer]

Bingo! If you invite someone somewhere new, a Good idea to say where!

I live on Spring Bay, but it's a big bay!

 

[Quickstatus]

Dress code?

Lol. I suppose I worked it out by looking at the Eastcoaster website but true, pretty bad!

 

[Denali]

I guess considering its location and limited audience, most would either have a clue or at least the general direction.

As a non local, I had to look it up.

 

[rainbowgirl]

I figured Eastcoaster resort was a good clue as to the location but you've made a good point.
If there is a drink on arrival does that mean the cost is $20 plus whatever drinks you buy? $20 seems a generous price for a seafood meal?

We keep getting a leaflet for a nearby take away restaurant. They never have the address on it

In fairness, that is an XV and they have invisibility powers because my XV is bright yellow and Ive been told "I didnt see you!"

Glad the guy is OK, it was a soft top and being cut out is scary. So what now for the owner, considering most valet services have a disclaimer for damage T&C.

Yes the $20 incl comp drink is a clue that you will end spending about double in reality. Which is OK

Flip flops Ok?

Obviously the XV is more of a DYKWIA than the Porsche. Taking a DYKWIA’s spot at a 5* establishment is not de rigeur.
