The totally off-topic thread

To make up for it - I'm onto round 2......

Is that bacon in maple syrup???

Similar cold morning in BNE and surrounds. It takes taken quite a while for my thumb to hit the right keys to post this message and done innumerable backspaces to correct spelling.

Perhaps you should have pressed the backspace some more!

And round 3...... Just to rub it in

That's a simply gorgeous pav!

Everything in the world is better

What is that supposed to be? On second thoughts I really do not want to know.

Care to name both these courses?

The first of these looks interesting... like carpaccio...

First looks to me like the Eggs Benedict, with ham plus a potato hash side. Normally I also add a sausage and mushrooms though.
Second course is the awesome tuna sashimi (it's basically in a soy and wasabi marinade from memory). It really is nice.

Looks like I know what my breakfast will be on Sunday week!

And in what is one of the most bizarre travel experiences i've ever had, I'm sitting quietly here in the VA lounge in MEL minding my own business and a lady starts screaming out 'COCAINE! DRUGS! MISSED CONNECTION INSURANCE! LOST LUGGAGE!' and then a few seconds later "CHOCOLATE! HAS ANYONE GOT CHOCOLATE OR ANYTHING IN THOSE SEALED THINGS'. After a little while, the police came to which she started screaming at the police "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! F$#K ME! PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME!' and proceeded to throw up on the floor. I'm scared to look as it would be too obvious!

Could have been a film set!

Should have guessed.

I thought it looked uncooked.

Looks like I know what my breakfast will be on Sunday week!

And I know what not to order for my visit on Saturday! Looks like I am not missing out on anything that should not be missed.

And time to force myself to try every champagne as well to see if I am missing anything. Why do I bother going to the First Lounge. It is wasted on me....

Had a snooze after work, and woke up at 9. Looked at watch and went "fark, I need to be at work, why didn't my alarm wake me?". Yep, 9pm - not 9am. crisis averted.

And here I was thinking that your brain simply woke you up at the RIGHt time, irrespective of time zone or battery power???

This is the exact reason where 24 hour time comes in handy!

I've done that a few times before... :shock:

So is that a 'deconstructed' pav ? whatever they call it - it looks super yummy. And is that persian fairy floss on top ??

It is and yes, it is!

Has been THE favourite for me for around 18 months now. Slightly different flavour changes with the seasons. And the Persian fairy floss is just delightful. Plentiful and delicious.

Have been known to order one for just after 12 to catch the lunchtime menu, & luxuriate in in just before making a dash for the plane before the door closes!!

Haha, yeah it is good for that - plenty of good examples of that occurring... But sometimes it's a bit confused.

I love persian fairy floss !! I have been known to to eat what is left in the bag - so it wont go stale


Can you order it for breakfast ??

It's 97 F in New York, so hot I had to buy a Peroni and I don't even drink beer

Surely there are other ice cold drinks besides beer?

At least your choice was better than satisfactory.

Maybe a bit more sky than yesterday, but too damp for the Foxtel guy who rang at 8am to tell me he could not do the 7am appt. due to rain!:evil:

WTH! - mad dash to catch the last express...
