The totally off-topic thread

[straitman]

I like to consider myself largely immune to advertising, but the current ads on TV for Rivers have ensured I will never (knowingly) spend a cent on any of their products. They drive me nuts (apparently socks are cheap when rock music is played and basic guys enjoy stupid advertising)!

+1. There are a whole range of ads that I find too stupid for words, but they must appeal to some punters.

They have always done their own ads using internal staff. Not sure if this has changed. The ads must appeal to a certain demographic, but it is possible that they have no idea how successful or not their advertising is.

Like or hate the ads the product and value for money is normally really good.

Possibly Tasmanians?

Possibly Tasmanians?

That's the only logical explanation.

Where did the foot print part go, it is still on AFF but you can't attach it to your posts. Not that I am at any interesting location.

I guess everyone around Brisbane has noticed the smoke today and the heat, and we only just made it into spring.

Well here in Devonport a lovely sunny day.Top of 16C.So naturally the Mersey Bluff beach was crowded and people in swimming-without their wetsuits!

Also you can tell this is an Australian website, thought someone may have mentioned the rugby, I have read more comments from NZ friends about how we must be feeling this morning, really we just don't care.

In Brisbane the match was so delayed that I knew the result before the game even started on the TV.

I am sure a few AFF members watched it.

Currently loitering in cairns airport. Coffee club has 6.90 coronas, so imbibing that. Good price for airport I think. Earlier was buying them for 3.50 as a Sunday session special at the pier bar. Very keen pricing. Miss the qp. Haven't been to the new one since it opened and of course no ata as I'm flying virgin.

Any Carlton fans in the house?

I watched it in a pub in a small town in Ireland with a bunch of noisy Irishmen and pints of Guinness at 10am. I couldnt give a stuff about rugby but it was fun pretending I did in that situation

Hmm I switched from 2a to 3c as 2bc were showing as taken and 3ABC free. Get on plane and 2ac is set up in PE config and I have companions in 3ba. Bigger. You win some, you lose some.

And that was an interesting flight. Mr 3b was wearing ed hardy. Looked rough as guts too. He says to me 'wow they have TVs'. A bit later... I'll ask to move to a different seat. Fa gets summoned and asked. He was politely told no. They are PE seats. And it starts. A dykwia type rant about how he flies DJ often and will never fly them again. How the seats are no different and should be allowed to move, how DJ has stuffed him around before-lol. A rant about a failure in radar stopping him flying for 2 days etc.
Staffer walks off. Dude continues ranting under his breath and swearing.
A bit later staffer comes back and he starts up again. Finally he realises he can't win so mumbles some more under his breath and then goes quiet.

He should make friends with some of the grey nomad couples who book months in advance then try to OLCI right on T-24 because they want row 4 only to find the only seats on offer (to them) are the last few rows in whY. They aren't impressed when they hear that those seats are reserved for high status frequent flyers.

Go Eagles!

See there was a reason for the change Mal, you'd have missed all the fun! Should have brought out your Plat card and said "now that's a lot of flying"

The FA needed your line from the other day ozbeachbabe.

Witnessed a very embarrassing moment on a bus coming into work this morning (my car in for a looong service).

Girl in a summer dress (no straps) reached up and across from her seat to press the stop button. Must have stretched too far, as she showed a lot more than she intended. Very quickly recognised the problem and adjusted but not without showing one of her god given assets to those sitting around. She felt terrible and I felt sorry for her, getting off the bus with a fiery red blush.

Lesson learnt - she'll wear a bra next time, I'll bet

Who said catching a bus was boring, in other ways you will be glad when the car is fixed.

Actually I hate catching a bus, I can't ever figure out their irregular time tables and worse when a bunch of buses turn up at the same stop so it is difficult to get a good look at the numbering.

Just got back to Australia… on my transit through SYD yesterday I spotted something I knew those here would be able to answer…

Why does VH-EBB have a white nose?

They got a Radome cover free from QF?

Well that would explain the colour, so what happened to their cover, did it hit something recently?

 

[Must...Fly!]

I don't want to create a new thread for this, so...what is QF up to these days with alcohol service time wise at the SYD dom J lounge? 12pm or 2pm? Wondering if 5000 points is worth spending...
