... I wonder if serfty has a spare ticket he might not need? ...

Nup! Not this year - see this post from late July:

Wow, have ticket prices jumped or what!!?!?! The same seat type/area I purchased last year for $65 is now $165!!! Level 6 seats for $80!

i'm planning on attending both as I did last year ... 50% result :-|

Scratch that - the NRL GF starts 2 hours later this year at 7:15pm - last year I flew up and back on the day - no chance this year ... :-|

Still will be going to the AFL GF though ...

For all you tech heads out there, MSY Computers are selling an 8Gb Kingston MicroSD for a mere $6. It's only a Class 4 but good enough for many devices.
Picked one up this morning.

The Entertaining Dips weren't very entertaining.

First prize in a competition at BWS is meeting Darren Lockyer. Is second prize meeting him twice?

I wonder if you can elect to meet the cardboard cutout instead?

 

[Buzzard]

Dips just have no sense of humour. Maybe they should be called Dips***s

That is not good at all. It is almost like daylight robbery.

Although if I was silly enough to fly back from Chiang Mai-Bangkok the grand final ticket price would be the least of my worries.

Got myself a Canon EOS-M twin lens kit today. Will be Interesting to see how I go using it compared to the trusty DSLR.

Certainly can't make my photography any worse....

For those who don't have Monday as a public holiday just remember "the first 5 days after the weekend are the hardest".
It is the Queen's birthday holiday in Perth tomorrow.

And in QLD it is a week later.

Don't remind me although I do have a week of leave and a long weekend before then too!

Meanwhile I'll just continue enjoying my holidays

Actually impressed how well our batton change was. I'm on holiday, you're employed. Almost simulataniously you're on holiday and I'm employed...

I shall find the right thread but it would appear MH no longer serves alcohol on the SIN-KUL leg. They did in July but not today.

I always thought that was one of MH's "short" flights, which means very basic galley service (albeit it is a "service"). Many MH domestic flights I thought also fit that mould.

In Y I thought this always meant some peanuts and a juice or water (e.g. orange, guava or water). Not sure about J; I think it is usually some sort of hot snack (e.g. panko fried prawn, perhaps a mini satay stick). Not sure if they would have a bar on for such a short flight. But anyway, there you go...

In business I have had a Carlsberg on my first 3 trips on this sector.

The refreshment is usually some sort of dry curry quiche/pie which is awful so usually pass.

You going to change your avatar back now?

I might just keep it to annoy a certain West Coast supporter for a bit longer.

Oh and yeah why can't these holidays line up, WA tomorrow and Qld the following Monday.
