So 1 week past 10 years.

I note that QF WP, drron and Straitman have been here longer.

Would that make you all FAFF's ?

Just reading an article about a massive solar storm in 2012 that missed the Earth and could have fried most of electrics on Earth.

```````````````Although aircraft are strengthened against magnetic bursts, such as from lightning, pilots would likely have lost satellite navigational aids if the 2012 solar storm had hit the Earth. Airports would probably have lost power and communications, making landing hazardous.
“There’d be panic in the air,” Dr Duffy said.

Is there nothing similar to these for iphones? I have them for my android devices:

Micro-USB to USB OTG Adapter Cable

And last time time I was in HK I picked up this (but they are available easily anywhere now):

Good question. Afaik content can only really be loaded on to iPad via iTunes. The one exception being picture from a memory card. So connect direct to iPad isn't really the issue.

And most people would have been lost.

Well you'd have to buy a street directory first in many cases, and the last time I was in Supercheap just by chance, the price they wanted for a Refidex (sp?) was basically telling me to bend over.

I wouldn't worry about getting lost first...I'd be a bit more worried about where is my money....

Don't worry about money. I'd be worried about trying to get away from the anarchists....

No chance.We are very persistent.

I do hope our ten year veteran Bundy Bear was following the thread where we could fly him PER-BNE-PER in J for about $600 (in his Dockers top of course).

BILLIONAIRE Solomon Lew is set for a $209 million payday after agreeing to sell his stake in Country Road to Woolworths South Africa.

Solomon Lew - well played! One of the best moves I've seen for a very long time Solomon Lew accepts Country Road offer, ending 17 year battle

Only 8 years or so for me :shock: so assuming I hit 8k posts by October that's an average of 1k posts/year.

Which means youre 30% better than me-only 750 posts per year-that count that is!

I think I'm pretty unlikely to be sitting on more than 7300 even! Indeed. If the playground counted....... I'd be 5 digits no doubt :mrgreen:

 

[ellen10]

Yes in truth I will probably not stay up all night tonight as should not be major changes in the GC.Though if the scenery is nice....

For the last stage I will just watch the replay as the only good part is usually on the Champs Elysee.

Yes I stay up watching Le Toure for a glimpse of the scenery and of course Gabriel Gate's food tour.

Missed that thread, but I did recently book a flight for the 24 August A330 back to Perth in business class the flight after the Fremantle Dockers play the Brisbane Lions.

Oh and I secured a reward seat on Perth to Melbourne on Virgin Australia for the 26 September, I think VA just added another flight to the schedule.

Now to hope that Fremantle make the grand final and I can find a ticket its a bucket list item check the thread.
