    Vancouver for the weekend - what to do?

    Thanks all. Thus far I've run around Stanley Park (14.5km loop from my hotel), gone for a walk downtown, and booked a seaplane flight that goes in about an hour. Tomorrow I think I'll go up Grouse Mountain then see the Canuks game in the evening. Edit: Seaplane flight was awesome, highly...

    Problem: involvement in a first aid incident. Moved seat from exit row to accomodate a doctor next to the patient. Also lost my headphone adapter because I left it plugged into the seat. Compensation: bottle of fairly average SSB. Seriously though, I expected no compensation at all from my...

    Gladstone QLD for 12 weeks

    Thanks for the help everyone. I secured some shred accomodation about ten minutes out of town via the Gladstone open discussion Facebook group for a pretty reasonable price. Got an operational upgrade for the Sydney to Brisbane leg of the trip so all good there. Starting work in about 15 minutes.

    Gladstone QLD for 12 weeks

    Thanks, not much chance of that I'm afraid. The rate on offer is already at the top end of what I do, so no chance of getting a accommodation covered unfortunately. I guess I could rephrase the question to what would be the most cost effective option?

    About red-eye flights

    Re: Miles on Sale Perth to Sydney departing at 2350, arriving at 0605 is always good for a laugh. Especially when a couple of rows back are seated two young children who screm continuously for the entire flight, only interrupting the racket to vomit.

    which (if any) supplements do you take?

    Presently magnesium only due to an exercise induced injury, and the realisation that my diet was probably lacking in that respect. Ive now introduced more leafy greens into my diet, so I'll stop supplementing once the current bottle of pills empty.
