The totally off-topic thread

[Flashback]

Looks like the SYD trip has been canned (that didn't take long!), so I'll be in PER the whole time now. The whole 3.5 days. :shock:

We have just won a signed Harry Kewell FFA Jersey.

Ebay? BBQ kindling? Stash it away in a draw for many years until that team gets anywhere in the FFA?

I want to do something with it in my lifetime :!:

You could give it to me

Myself and 2 close mates met Harry while he was in Perth a few months ago! Nice guy.

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you're okay.

I am fine.

Life goes on and for a change Qantas was 15 minutes early into SYD!

Time for "Stupidity of the Day"

Actually, the first one is not too dubious (perhaps it is, actually):

Gingers extinct in 100 years, say scientists

REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.

This next one, if true as written, is an absolute mind-splitting nut case IMO, and personally if she wins or settles then God have mercy on all our souls. It's probably worse in that she's filed it through VCAT, which, if I recall correctly, means she has little to fear in the way of retribution or restitution at all if she is not successful in her case.

School 'failed to get me into law'

A FORMER student who is suing Geelong Grammar School says she decided to seek damages after she failed to qualify for her preferred university course.

Rose Ashton-Weir, 18, alleges Geelong Grammar gave her inadequate academic support, particularly in maths.

Seeking compensation in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, she said her final secondary school score was too low to study law at the University of Sydney.

Of her time at Geelong Grammar, she said: ''I didn't ever feel I was getting the support I needed to really excel.''

I wonder if any of the DJ fan boys would know. Looking at hotels and forgot how expensive Aus was. $285 for a hotel w/ breakfast in North Ryde (close to our office). :shock:

He can give you one of your upgrade vouchers only if you are travelling on the same booking.

Not sure what's written in the T&Cs, but that's what happens in practice.

You're suggesting that News Limited is not dubious?

Four Aussies just walked into the ATL Admiral's clib. More than doubled the number of people in here. I'm wondering if any of them are on or know of AFf.
Discusssions of QP membership, what happens when you attain SG, and the "equivalency" program offered by VFF last year to status match.

Actually I remember reading about this 5 years ago. This is actually possible, as the red-headed gene is not a dominant gene, however the gene will never go missing. In Germany, I and my cousin were on the street and he pointed out a red-headed guy and said guess his ethnicity and I said pom? He replied Turkish!

You need only look at some players that qualify to play rugby for NZ Maori to red hair

Are there not red headed aborigines in NW WA?

Blame someone else, then it ain't your fault if you don't take advantage of the (considerable as it's Geelong Grammar) education on offer/work hard/take responsibility/grow up! But hey, you have to have a sneaking admiration for the gall of the lass.

Absolutely marvelous, QF400 tomorrow has just been changed to a 734. What a lovely start to the day from hell.

The powers that be must've known you were travelling Tony. These are the same people who routinely delay JohnK's flights ex BNE on Friday nights. :mrgreen:

Remember that on a 734 there will only be one F/A to board so you either need to be there at the get go or go on last. I think you can possibly guess how the rest of the boarding process will go. :shock:
