    Will a car insurance claim mess up my trip?

    Did you photograph the damage to both cars? I had a similar cross street cark park accident where other driver claimed I slammed into his car. The photos proved the damage to his car involved tail and brake lights whereas damage to my car was entirely rear right door and side panel. I gave...

    General Medical issues thread

    Thought I'd do a follow up on this post now almost 12 months old. I didn't get on that plane. Another bone marrow biopsy and a diagnosis of "Acute Myeloid Leukaemia" was confirmed. I remained in Epworth ED for two days and was progressively transfused with five more units of packed red cells...

    A bit of humour

    A man prays to God. "Lord, I would like to ask you a question." God says, "Go ahead." "Lord, is it true that to you a million years is but a second?" "Yes that is true." "Well then, what is a million dollars to you?" "A million dollars is but a penny." "Lord, may I have a penny?" "Sure," says...

    A bit of humour

    A woman, cranky because her husband was late coming home again, decided to leave a note, saying, "I've had enough and have left you...don't bother coming after me”. Then she hid under the bed to see his reaction. After a short while, the husband comes home and she could hear him in the kitchen...

    Dr Ron was addressing a large audience. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. "Red meat is awful. "Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. "Chinese food is loaded with MSG. "High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us...

    So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

    I ordered an Y Performance in June last year and finally got it a month ago. Local Woolies has 15A free charging so we shop slowly once/twice a week, usually gives us a 3% boost.

    Same trip (March 1985) a couple of days earlier: Queen Mary at Long Beach. Next door in a huge dome was Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose". Again an unrepeatable shot as it was moved to Oregon in the 90s. I'm pleased (and somewhat amazed) at the quality of the images of these almost 40...

    Sorting through hundreds of little yellow boxes retrieved from my storage locker, I feel a little like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates as I randomly open boxes and scan only the best few from each box. I had a stopover of a day or two in New York in March1985 so will share three...

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I had the same conversation with Amex last week (member since 1988). Elected to downgrade to free Discovery (rep said I could upgrade again to Ultimate at any time without a new credit application) as my chances of flying are going to be remote going forward; I'm keeping my Explorer card...

    I asked my son to hand me a phone book. He laughed at me called me a dinosaur and passed me his new Google Pixel 7. So now the spider is flattened and dead, the phone's screen is broken and he's mad at me.

    A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says,'OK old fart, Time for you to retire.' The old rooster replies, 'Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me...

    There was an old man who lived by a forest. As he got older and older, he started losing his hair until one day, on his deathbed, he was completely bald. He said "Look at my hair. It used to be magnificent, but it's completely gone now. It can't be saved. But look outside at the forest...
