The totally off-topic thread

In unrelated news, everyone will be pleased to know that I have found a use for 288pt text.

Way too easy.

Either you're making a poster with 1-3 characters on it, or someone hasn't got the message.

It was an email. I think they got the message.

In more traditional parlance, all capitals or an appropriately linked meme/GIF would have been more commonly employed.

Hey, I just found 288pt and you think I can link meme/GIF?

You're not that technically illiterate.

One thing is that you can "escape" reading a 288pt-font email. You can sort of escape the meme (graphic) or GIF. You can't escape all capitals.

Hopefully you used capital letters to really make the email stand out.

A Presidential address?

Actually just had a re-read of the notice, looks genuine, its from 19 March when I registered for pre polling as I was going to be away in New Zealand.

Just received the follow up letter from the ECQ. Electoral Commission Queensland, seems like they made a mistake, maybe someone forgot to check the postal votes, lucky I sat on it for a few days, saving myself the $1.00 postage and envelope.

Thank you to all who responded with kind words and thoughts. It's been a rough couple days just trying to get stuck into sorting out some things and helping mum prepare for life after dad.

Also found his discharge papers, plus his service medal, and pins. He never ever talked about his service, and he refused anything to do with the RSL, despite being entitled to support in various forms.

That must be a tough thing to do, I don't think any of us are looking forward to that task in the years to come.

On the RSL some return serviceman don't want to have anything to do with them, it almost reminds me like a group, some people just rub you the wrong way and you don't want to have anything to do with them.

Canberran or Melbournian letters?

Stubbornness knows no bounds.

I just walked ~7kms from Night Bazaar to Ibis Styles. Pedestrian crossings mean nothing so just walk out into the crossing and force the car to slam their brakes on.

This place never ceases to amaze me.

Must be something in the air medhead.

I'm rather sleep deprived today. I pity the poor person who thinks they are smart sitting next to me on today's Snore Airways flight.

Me too. Doesn't help that a little pup needs to go out to the loo in the middle of the night.

Fremantle AFL player Matthew Pavlich has notched up 857,894 kilometres flying across the country during his 350 game career. That is a nice lot of points to get paid for by someone else. Not only that he has probably flown more miles than most of us have overseas!

Just a bit more practice and you're well and truly ready to be a mother!


Must be something in the air. I normally get up at 5 am to get to school on time, but by that time my dad is usually already up and out for a walk. I woke up at 5.15 am today and was the first one to get up.

Well, you could that as the Southern hemisphere is rushing towards the sun and the daylight hours are expanding - all this extra activity is having its annual impact. A bit like how many people's body adjusts to daylight saving before it starts and wake-up an hour earlier.

Or perhaps the recent extra glass of wine/beer/whiskey is the reason.

What's a Pokemon? Have not seen anyone play the game here.

I bet they've been playing. You just haven't recognised they are.

I like it raining once every week to ten days (vs 23 drops of rain) - that way I don't have plant watering duty!
