The totally off-topic thread

Pushka is correct. ICSI is used in IVF where male factors mean that conventional IVF would be unsuccessful.

Typical. Just blame everything on the male.

All that sperm versus one egg... only one succeeds. I'm surprised more males don't get the, "You only had one job!" line.

Something funny going on then. When I click on the link in your reply it takes me to post #434 which says "someone told us the lady who was so generous with her time was in fact Carrie Bickmore, nominated for a Gold Logie this year from Channel 10".

I have now Googled her, and have to admit that it resulted in a shrug.

From Wikipedia, for those like me who have no idea:

Carrie Bickmore is an Australian radio news presenter and television presenter. Bickmore is currently a presenter on The Project which airs weeknights on Network Ten.

And whose side are you on?

I did the same when the boys posted from the desert, that's why I remembered when the recent post went up.

From Wikipedia, for those like me who have no idea:

For several years up until maybe 2012 when she began to get gigs on FTA TV, Carrie presented the Melbourne Skybus videos.

That's how I became aware of her ...

JohnK, it's an interesting path you are starting down. Be her rock. There'll be ups and downs for both - failures can be hard to take but keep your eyes on the desired result. We should talk...

QF581 SYD-PER diverted to ADL. I thought the A330 I saw while mowing the lawn was too big for Qantas to land here.

Would you be surprised to know that I have pink shorts and trousers and tonight wore a pink bow tie.

Well we know you dress up for golf.

It is worth a shot. Not much hope but still worth a shot.

I think I need to start looking for a new job; the behaviour of my boss this week was just about the final straw for me....

This week, the NHL started for the new North American winter.

An Edmonton Oilers fan was unhappy with how the team performed in the first game of the season so threw his hoodie over the glass & on the ice in protest.

As the photo shows, he didn't realise that he left his mobile phone in his hoodie pocket. Oops.

I was rather annoyed about the whole MyGov account requirement to use Etax. But it has actually turned into a win. While poking around in MyGov, I found the listing of my super accounts. This allowed me to discover 2 accounts with Unisuper, not impossible due to having a few jobs with unis at various times. MySuper then allowed me to request a transfer of the extra, unknown account to another of my super accounts.

MySuper - brilliant. Wonder who thought of that, well done!

Yet more for the night. Ex-members of my army unit have been invited to a live fire shoot later in the year. Desperately wanting the banter about everyone attending receiving an allocation of ammunition to not be a joke.

Has anyone any experience with PRINCE2 project management? I have had my name put forward for a training course.
