The totally off-topic thread

...

Not that they had much to say.

There was only a snippet shown - hence I could not be certain.

Surely much more 'footage' than that hit the editors bin ...

Ahh ... it's up online now ... 7.30 - ABC

Was a member here who's posting might be considered prolific interviewed briefly during an item on the 7:30 report this evening?

I did not get a good look, so cannot be really certain ...

Well spotted. I saw that and all.

Actually, I know 3 of the people in that snippet including our "famous" AFFer.

It was the action shot that was best, the AFFer looked like a complete quarmby.

Yeah a fair bit was lost, at least 20 minutes of interviews that I'm aware of. Plus as much from demonstrations.

You must move in the right circles, except for the AFFer perhaps.

Perhaps a topic is needed on radioactive waste

You do just fine with all the backscatter chatter

Maybe it's a good thing that I recognised exaclty none of them!

She's braver than me :!:

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - A great-great grandmother in America was declared the oldest woman to paraglide tandem on Tuesday after taking to the air to celebrate her 101st birthday.
In confirming the feat, Guinness World Records said Mary Allen Hardison's historic flight near Salt Lake City on September 1 last year was "pushing record breaking to new heights."
Hardison, of Ogden, Utah, said she decided to go paragliding after her 75-year-old son Allen took up the sport.
"Just because you are old doesn't mean you have to sit on your duff all day," Hardison told Reuters.

After being rained out yesterday, Barcelona is being absolutely spectacular - and with two bags lost, the Amex Platinum Charge Card Insurance is getting a last big workout before I cancel it.
