The totally off-topic thread

[littl_flier]

Brisbane was hot and muggy. Went to the Sunshine Coast (Caloundra) and it was also hot, but not as muggy.

Fantastic weather

Was quite hot today! The car told me it was 37 today went I went for a drive. I think this might have been a little on the high side but it was nice to be able to rip off the shirt and walk around in shorts today. (at home of course )

Another storm (like forecast) would be nice though.

Does anyone have any idea what has happened to d15.in.oz? Has not posted since 11 August and there does not appear to be any clues in the most recent posts although I was on holiday at the time and may have missed something.

Maybe he's taking a break from AFF?

I've noticed that people go through phases in their posting, active for a time, then scaling back for awhile, then re-engaging. A natural process.

 

[straitman]

A natural process.

The cynic in me has to ask 'What's natural around here :?:'

If you have a look back at the threads in which he was posting, his writing style came under some criticism by one of the more outspoken posters on this forum.

iirc, he did not post again after the next day.

 

[simongr]

There were posts after the antagonising one though.

It would make for an interesting betting contest! Who will be the next AFFer to reach 1,000 posts?

QF009      873 posts
Shano      862 posts
Evan       825 posts
dajop      816 posts
Reggie     814 posts
odoherty   810 posts

I think it will be Shano closely followed by QF009. The longshot is Reggie who has the potential to upset the 2 favourites....

 

[straitman]

.... and I'll back JohnK to be the next poster to reach 6000 posts.

and he may do that before any of the above get to 1000

 

[straitman]

More correctly "He will do that before any of the above get to 1000"

 

[straitman]

Bump.

He's closing in on the target!

Nothing is out of the question! Now, without starting a new contest, which of the prospective posters will reach 1,000 post first?

Shano first, QF009 a close second and Evan third :!:

Sorry guys, my selection normally puts the mozz on things.

 

[Shano]

Shano first with QF009 a close second :!:

Thanks straitman, looks like my chances are shot now
