Problem is In struggling to tell the difference between some of the $#)@+ing ads and photo posts.

Above falcon photo is an ad with kangaroos.

Pardon?
That's unusual. It's a photo of two falcons and eggs for me
Something sounds not quite right for you.
But on the other hand the AFF app doesn't work for me at present so will need to delete and re-install I think.

I believe @Denali is referring to the idea that the forum is not quite working correctly and ads are being seen when they should not be.

Never seen a kangaroo ad on AFF before, except Qantas.

The AFF app does not work for anyone because it hasn't been redesigned to account for the new forum software. One is in the pipeline, but not high priority.

I think it was either insurance or payday loan ad as also had a guy dressed up in a kangaroo costume.

It's gone now. I use up not even notice ads, on this screen alone, there are 5 ads.

If you are a Gold or Silver member you should not be seeing any ads. Please send a message (conversation) to @Admin to follow it up for you.

General Mike Flynn has a donation page for his legal defense. Note. Only US citizen donations accepted.

I guess the Russians didn't pay him enough or in full yet.

App doesn’t work anymore Dame. If you access through Safari it works just fine in browser function.

Had a feeling that was the case. Have been using Safari on the phone anyway even when it did work as it was a pain to use. It kept saying I wasn't logged in etc etc.

Hmmm ... an on topic post ... but to which topical thread does it belong ... ?

The thread he created about his theoretical experience of no IFE and the rest of the trip that was not quite right?

Coolish night in Canberra, hopefully some rain in the near future, next week maybe?

Maybe the Russians have already paid there share.

I was surprised to read that Samuel Johnson's sister, Connie, was a mum to two kids and had a husband. Its like she has this entire life that is overshadowed by her brother.

He seems like a nice enough guy but, and I know this will be unpopular, I just feel that hes kind of hijacked her life a bit. Again, he seems like a nice bloke.

Her family was seen in ‘media’ quite a lot.
I understand what you mean about the brother relationship though. I can’t imagine my brother being so involved in my life as he was especially having a husband and kidlets. He certainly wouldn’t have given up his career to focus on a charity I may be involved with even facing a terminal situation. Maybe we have to look past that to the bigger picture and that together they continued to raise the profile of breast cancer.

Went to the chemist downstairs and there is a mum with her two adorable petri dishes of germs, coughing and hacking all over the register desk with their obvious red faces of fever and oh goodie, mum said they can have one chocolate each so they are grabbing hand fulls of chocolates, coughing over them, putting them back, coughing some more, spraying mucus over the packages, desk ect before deciding on a Kinder Surprise, meanwhile leaving their personal germ filled surprise for the next person.

Employee: Next please (indicates to me to come forward).
Me: Can you please serve me over there (points to opposite side of the store while the mum gives me death stares).

Bought a pair of shoes a few months back and they fit ok. Went to wear them the other day and they are now too small. :shock:

So now need another pair of shoes before going to Thailand in 5 days time.

When Foo Fighters concert was announced about 2 weeks ago, I booked a hotel room, knowing I will get tickets no matter what.

In the meantime, todays room price has increased by $270pn. (edit: Now listed as "Special Event Rate")

Yikes, so glad I booked early.

Just noticed this on a Tassie weather post;

A Strong earthquake has occurred to the South of NZ this afternoon, the Magnitude 6.2 earthquake located 256km W of Auckland Island.
