Besides Obama retaining the US presidency another interesting story I found on cnn this morning.

[h=1]Puerto Ricans favor statehood for first time[/h]

Noooo!! We can't have any of that nonsense, we need those YUPP's :mrgreen:

Why would having SJU as part of a US state affect YUPPs?

I misread it as the Puerto Rican's wanting to be independent of the US

Actually, AFAIK that is exactly what it is about. I'm not 100% across the referendum from this week, but I was reading about it when I was in SJU in March - they were talking about complete independence.....

Just had a chat to someone who mentioned they had around 390,000 QFF points.

They were very excited at the prospect of being able to go to Japan twice, at ~165k each ticket. In Y.

I pointed out how foolish that was, except they saw the points as free and two trips is better than one. Despite the myriad of other options I presented them with.

Oh well, you can lead a horse to water...I just hope QFF enjoys the drink

#noideaaboutFFP sums it up

No Princess you want Pueto Rica to become a State of the USA.Then those same J seats you get now become F seats as if a Princess had waved her magic wand.More SCs for the hopefully same price.

Gah I'm a goose.

Forgot that 1800 numbers aren't included in my monthly Virgin Mobile credit ($29 Big Plan).

So I'm up for an extra $8 or so on my next bill.

Nor are 13 xx xx numbers ...

There's another few velocity points.

According to my rate plan outline, 13 and 1300 numbers are included in my monthly allowance. But not 18 or 1800 numbers.

13 & 1300 are included in my BYO plan.

Although I don't get the opportunity to accrue velocity points - however on the other hand, 10% rebate on flights is good value since my bill is $19 per month

Just discovered there is a whole big series of lectures on Youtube by some Indian professor on Heat and Mass Transfer. Viva le Youtube! (And information sharing and all that so on and so forth...)

Apologies to all the non-engineers out there... couldn't contain it, though...

I can think of an activity that involves mass transfer that would excite anyone here. :mrgreen:

If anyone is delayed today please do not blame me. I am going the other way.

And which way is that?

ADL-MEL was delayed by ten minutes this arvo. The flight was pretty chockers. There was no shadow in the front row of Y for me.
