The totally off-topic thread

That is surprising. The twelve months to Oct 2012 has a total of 590,800 visitors to AU from North America, which means QLD has had a third of them.

All those misconceptions disappearing in the wind!
Really? Does that seem a heck of a lot of people to you? Maybe I'm judging the figures on how many you see in Melbourne - doesn't appear all that evident in the city.

Just that a third of the visitors from the US have gone to QLD. I am not sure how many of them would have originated from Vegas though.
 
800000 people live on the Coast or within adjoining Logan Council, and another 1.7M within 60 minutes drive, thats a pretty good origin base, I am sure some of the 33000 folks travelling BNE to LOTFAP each month would prefer to leave OOL.

Doing some quick maths I can't find an aircraft (777,787,747,380) that can take off on the current runway at OOL with enough fuel to reach USA, the runway just isn't long enough.

I take it you are using the TODA with the displaced threshold in place that will go shortly under the masterplan?
 
Happy New Year to all on AFF.

Unfortunately my holiday has been ruined and not a lot to look forward to until I return home next week.

Take care all and I hope your luck is much better than mine.

P.S. Don't be too alarmed, I am still alive, which I guess is the main thing....
 
Sorry to hear JohnK, Dr tuapekastar recommends beer for times like these. Make the most of what's left.

Sorry to hear JohnK. Hope your luck changes for the latter part of your holiday - and with no medical training whatsoever I support Dr tuapekastar's prescription!

Johnk you are such a pessimist , good to hear you are ok but it sounds like you lost your golf clubs.

You can tell all your friends on AFF what the problem is, all the best for 2013.
 
Yep. Chin up JohnK. Life doesn't suck all the time. Enjoy the good bits and learn from the bad bits.
