The totally off-topic thread

Very sorry to hear of your loss Bindibuys.

We have friends in London who cannot come home until their old dog has passed away. I must say I was impressed to see the dog sitting up in a First Class train seat going to Edinburgh because it could. Returning to Australia would involve a lengthy quarantine which would be too cruel for an aging dog.

I am playing a waiting game too - I have an old for the breed dog and being such a large dog, I cannot put him through a long flight so just have to wait him out.

I dont think I want to live in a world where Im forced to endure a meal that includes Salted Geranium.

I KNOW im going to be hitting maccas or a kebab house on the way home.

Oh life can be cruel. Or maybe not.

Daughter has started walking this week at 13 months. Brisbane City wifi and Coles wifi have started playing up just as daughter started walking.

Coincidence?

 

[Denali]

Congrats on the walking!

Why do you care about Coles wifi? Im not a fan of public wifi.

Phew, new resident at our old place rang and the delivery has been retrieved.

I care about anything that's free. My 1GB data allowance has already finished and I have another 4 days before month reset. Mum is going to want see granddaughter this weekend.

What could possibly be wrong with Line right now. Ages to connect the call then about 1 second of viewing before screen freezes. I can hear them but they can't hear me. Will try agsin in Qantas lounge later. Worked last Friday.

I saw a young girl walking with her dad the other day holding his hand. I was jealous.

Only 3 more weeks until we're together again.

You can get fined for texting driving your car or even riding your bike. Should be extended to walking and texting.

Wait until she starts calling you to say goodnight when you're at work.

Just about the funnest moments yet.

But not in the Qantas lounge or we might hear someone hear complaining about JohnK. That’d be a turnup!

Appropriate to raise a glass of bubbles on World Champagne Day then.

Well done Vic with the legislation re Death with dignity.

People complain about me all the time Pushka. May as well give them a valid reason to complain.

. Not quite through yet still has to get passed in the Upper house. But I agree with your sentiments.

Have I ever said how much I hate publuc transport?

The 4:00pm Garden City bus left on time and I just missed it. The 4:15pm bus gets to the DFO in time for the 4:30pm TBus. Only problem is he turns up at 4:27pm and leaves without taking anyone on board leaving the 4:30pm bus with the 10 or so people waiting. Hoping the 5:00pm TBus is on time as that now leaves ~10m to check-in before 5:35pm.

And all because I didn't shave last night and I was running late this morning. If you need to do something then do it when you have spare time not when you're rushing.

 

[JessicaTam]

I have missed every bus/train/tram I have wanted this last few days by all of two minutes. Resulting in at least a 15 minute wait.

I guess my superpower of choosing the slowest lane is starting to flex its muscles!
