Not in London it's not! Been a while since we've had some decent sunshine and a little cooler than usual for this time of the year.

Who says weather has anything to do with it being a great day?

Early shift at work to(7.30) but seeing they still haven't arranged access to the building i suspect i will be calling in workmate favours when i turn up.

Happy belated birthday wishes to Shrek. Nice drop that I'm sure he has aged well

i could only stand the first 30 or 40 seconds of that song.

+2. I had no expectations that it was good, so I wasn't disappointed

Y/T is blocked by the major network account I use at work, so I waited until I got home.

Hmmm ... I maybe last 50 seconds. :shock:

One of the two flights that produce contrails over my home. Supposed to be SAA but looks like a rat.

Is it just me ? Or are others annoyed with American spelling (spell check / auto correct) overtaking the Australian / English spelling?
I write the word, advice and end up with advise. Just to name one !! Grr
That's my friday rant, ( even though it's Wednesday)

For browsers like Firefox, you can add "Australian" dictionaries and tell it to use that for spelling. For phones, they *should* suggest Australian spellings when the language is set correctly. Where do you see the issue?

Where are you being auto-corrected the wrong way? On most (all?) phones you can change to the real English dictionary, and same on your computer I’d have thought.

Very annoying when you type in some word lets say "favour" and the spell check suggests favor. Bloody annoys me because I have been using Australian/English all my life and then the spell check has the nerve to suggest I am wrong! In fact its the yanks that are wrong!

I searched long and hard on my 3G for an English dictionary. Couldn't find it.

I just quizzed my 7yr old when he saw me perusing AFF. He knows his status, and mine. He knows what lounge access we have and can name the other levels are up to CL. He knows all the benefits of SG including advance seat selection and award availability.

What have I created???

Anyway I have stressed the importance of study and hard work to get there!

If the cold is a PITA it may well be a hemorrhoid. :mrgreen: Probably not something you want to sneeze out.

At least I know I'm in good company
