BMX is just plain BS. Coin toss would be less random.

pretty much whoever gets out first

Well done to the GB Hockey team for letting Australia win a medal. I think they know what the Australian public have been through. Excellent Sportsmanship.

Team GB is almost over with just one day left of the Olympics. They have done really well and London has proven to be an excellent location for the 2012 Olympics.
You should have come!!

It would be an A380 wouldn't it be?

Looks great.

I assume it will touch down in SYD when it arrives back in Australia.

I also assume it will have to make a fuel stop in SIN or HKG both ways as well.

I hope someone is not in trouble!

It was me that was going to be in trouble. Nothing serious but enough of an inconvenience.

Cannot get these lyrics out of my mind the past 24 hours and I do not remember listening to it anywhere recently

And right now it is much clearer why this song came to mind.

Talking about songs and lyrics, My wife and I have just returned from JERSEY BOYS at QPAC this afternoon. Great songs of Franky Valli and the 4 seasons. Brought back a few memories

It scares me when a song comes to mind.

Need to learn to interpret the meaning quicker....

Wandering around Alice Springs yesterday & today I said to SWMBO that I was surprised we had not seen anyone we know.

It happened this afternoon when we not bumped an ex RAAF pilot friend (and wife) who I also worked with flying over Bass Strait.

Quiet impressed with AKL international departures.

Even though no flights are departing until the morning there are still a number of shops remain open through the night. Only a few more hours to go.

Enjoyed a trip in the nose, LAX-JFK, a week or so ago.

Just over 12 hours to another EY J flight back to Australia. Rubbish seat on leg one. Not sure I'll do this again. (I'm trying to forget I have the flight back from Australia in October to contend with as well!!)

Have to go...I need to ram something large down the throat of the obnoxious American currently shouting about his collegiate athlete son!

One of the few NASCAR races I sleep in and miss and who wins....Marcos, arggh!

I assume you mean airside. Landside there's usually the McDonalds and the convenience shop in arrivals. Some other cafes start to open at T-3 hrs first departures. Not sure if duty free is open all hours.

Hope you "survived" OK
