The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

I gained an hour today, but with that the east coast of Australia is now a ridiculous 11 hours ahead (when I arrived here it was only 9!) :!: :shock:

 

[oz_mark]

...and my phone decided to move an hour ahead this morning :shock:

So far the door bell has rung twice and no one has gotten up to even look through the spy hole. We're assuming trick or treaters and ignoring.

I have a bowl full of candy but no one has come by yet. Shame, as I don’t want to eat it all. Though this is what happens when you live in a pseudo retirement home!

That is why you buy stuff you want to eat, or are you trying to get rid of the lollies you don't like.

I'll fly all the millions around my street up to you next year then, have gone through an entire green bag full of goodies and the door bell is still going!

Haha, I ate the ones I liked, and picked up something that looked good, but turns out it wasn’t as good (hard candies) and a bag of mars.

I could eat it all, but I think my teeth would then put me on soft foods for a fortnight!

You need to learn to ration more!

Now I’m heading out to dinner, Japanese so I shall leave the whole bowl outside the front door and hope to come back and discover it all gone! Some kid’s going to have a lot of cavities!!

Burrill Lake is like a retirement village. People flock to the coast in their retirement (my parents did and I tagged along).

It was always very big in HK, I'm just surprised it's so overlooked here, despite child safety, it's quite fun.

And it's not like Australia isn't following the US on some things... I'd rather see kids have a bit of fun one night of the year, than balloon out by eating junk food every night

Krispy kremes has gone broke. Now what are we going to do for doughnuts and coffee while waiting for family at Sydney airport.

 

[oz_mark]

The Australian operation is in voluntary administration. There have not been any announcements which, if any, stores will close. Some stores were profitable, but whether the airport ones are in this group, only Krispy Kreme knows.

I heard something on the radio that the Aussie stores aren't selling enough.

I remember driving from Canberra to Penrith a few years ago one evening for something to do and the drive thru line took an hour they were that busy. Was a fun road trip. Then we learnt there was one in Liverpool that we could have gone to instead.

First-Halloween.Not an australian tradition.Meant to mark the beginning of autumn.We put up the barricades.Literally.If kids need a good family night then sack the PC police and bring back Empire Day-the old neighbourhood bonfire and fireworks were great.and only cost the area a few destroyed letter boxes.
Second-Krispy Kreme-thank goodness,I need to lose weight.Need to put on the old dinner jacket in May and just found out it has shrunk in the wardrobe.:shock:
Third-there is an exception to every rule.Yesterday 3 planes left MCY for MEL within 45 minutes.All were delayed.TT the least.:shock:
Fourth-Love the dress code on TT.Half were wearing thongs,the other half jandals.Apart from 2 ladies I suspect were on a working holiday.All leather gear including coat and thighhighs is not your typical Sunshine Coast get up.
Fifth-Where are the TV cameras wehen you want them.One of the funniest things i have seen boarding happened on the TT MEL flight.Two older ladies approached and asked-"is this the Melbourne flight?"GA-"Yes"
OL's-"thanks" GA-"this is not your plane"
OL's-"but we have to get to Melbourne today"GA-"this is not your plane"
OLs-"we have seen your TV show but we have checked in and have boarding passes."GA-"Yes but this is tiger Airways and your boarding passes are for Virgin blue."

I forgot-happens a lot these days(CRAFT).
Sixth-Today is a public holiday here in DPO-Recreation Day-WTF.

The correct course of action IMHO!
