Blendr? Grindr? I'm not sure I want to know the difference.

And I guess I'm on the wrong team to understand the "ping"......

Blendr? Grindr? I'm not sure I want to know the difference.

Quick summary: Blendr = straight hook up app, Grindr = gay hook up app.

And the "ping"??

AHHHH!!! Major swearing time. Any 11 years old, a 7 year old and an ipod does not mix. They've managed to lock the passcode!!!! :evil:

Plug it into the computer?

Blendr is classified as more of a bi app tbh. I’ve had more guys hit on me on it than girls…

And the "ping"??

The app has a distinctive sound when receiving a message, so much so that on arrival into your next port those in the know are often keen to see who else is in the know.

For those of you who have me on FB, I've just uploaded some pics of my current journey.

Even with all my visits I can't quite get used to the idea of a public bar with barman, taps, the works which is always free.

Never free. Someone always pays....

An interesting game of golf at Nudgee this morning with my social golf club. It was flooded on Tuersday and we weren't sure about playing this morning - but two fine days made us confident.

Had 43 strokes on the front nine (22 stableford points). Then it got really hot and sticky. Was getting tired as I hit a 46 strokes (20 points).

Now to wave goodbye to 3 handicap strokes

Which course? South or North? I used to play there often, after most rounds I'd be jumping on a flight back home.

Blendr?

Blendr = 99% Gay Men that have seen the ads for it on Grindr. 1% women who have heard their gay friends raving about grindr.

Congratulations to the Flight Attendant who asked Mr Pax in 16C to refrain from placing his bag in the Row 3 overheads, and then for taking his bag out of row 3 and giving it back to him in row 16 when he sneaked it above my head when the FA walked away.

That is an almighty jump serfty! :shock:

Well, my last SCs from the 50% extra promo came through. I'm WP again...

Well done for climbing the hill a 4th time, although with a few tricks and a good job you might reach Platinum for a 5th time.

Wish I’d have a 50% bonus, and will probably need at least that if I am to re-qualify starting in March, but I too am now a W@nker

Congrats Sam, sorry I couldn't have helped you get their sooner.

Oddly enough, I'm just one more WP requalification short of LTS. (Well, I need a few more SCs on top of that, but that's generally the case right now).

Yeah yeah yeah I know LTS isn't a big deal, but it's a milestone nonetheless.

Restore. It was 4 days old and I hadn't decided if I would sync with my itunes or with SWMBO'd itunes. As it is my daughters ipod - 100%. So plugging in did nothing as there was no backup or link or anything like that.

If you had Find my iPhone turned on, could you have sent a remote lock to the device, overwriting the existing code?

I always leave my phone on silent as I hate any noises after landing.

Same. Don’t need an FA looking for the person whose phone went off on the runway in a Dash 8

Did you taddle on him?

Congrats Sam, sorry I couldn't have helped you get their sooner.

It’s all right, the flights this weekend were good fun. No point making the journey easy!

South. North is the members course, generally only play there on Corporate Days, but most of my Corp Days are at Indooroopilly or Brisbane.

The course was playing surprisingly well considering it's so low lying. We played even better - considering I came third (2nd was 45 points, winner was 46 points). We all lost major strokes

Those mushy pea filled ciabatta rolls were back in the SYD T3 DOM J lounge yesterday. I was a happy man.

Penfolds Grange is $399 USD at my local Costco so after tax that is about $405AUD.
30 cans of BUD beer is just over 50 cents a can in the pack.
My value system is being assaulted in Marina del Rey!

Do you pay them 50cents or do they pay you for drinking the stuff?
