The totally off-topic thread

And that is the trouble with random acts. It is so easy to create terror these days.

Like saying you voted for one of the two major sides in the USA election?

Happy wandering

Dreadful news from Berlin. To think that was one of the markets I visited not two weeks ago.

That makes it a little too close to home. So sad for all those involved, victims, those who witnessed the actions and for the area itself.

Oh dear, sure they are not selling up as well and didn't tell you
Hope you get it sorted.

Was told it would be rectified ASAP. Still there six hours later. Pretty unprofessional. We never really speak to those neighbours as they're very insular. But we left a note to apologise.

Oh dear, that makes it a bit worse. At least of they were close you could all have a bit of a laugh about it....

Update- sign still there. The wife saw one of the neighbours out the front and explained and apologised. He was fine. Although evidently they rent, and initially thought the owners had decided to sell without telling them. Not a pleasant moment I'm sure.

My husband travels intra state 2/4 weeks. I book 99% of his accommodation via Qantas for the points. (don't get the credit card spend ) but there are no QF motels in Griffith, so I just book direct with the motel.
Called yesterday to book him in for last night. Told "oh, he is already booked in for tonight and every Tuesday night for the next few weeks"
Think you had better check the contact phone number, you have the wrong AB.
Yep, another guy with the same name. OK, so let's put my hubbys middle name in the file, so as to stop confusion.
Text from my hubby this morning - other guy has SAME middle name, just 1 letter different in the spelling.

Now for the fun bit...... looks like I am married to this other guy, as my marriage certificate (the decorative one given by the Church) has his spelling on it.

Gotta love it when your boss does end of year drinks at 5pm on the second last day of the working year, when you clock off at 4pm...

There is another woman with my exact name living about 4 kilometres away and clearly we shop at the same stores as I always have to clarify which one I am in loyalty awards. We are the same age. Both husbands were active in sport at state level - he was AFL and mine in Cricket. So I wonder if she knows me?

Clever boss but maybe its also about not providing alcohol during work hours? OH&S stuff?

No such rules here, so I'm left feeling like I missed out.

Nah. You have better plans in place. They lose your captivating company.

My Nov bank statement didnt arrive for 6 weeks, via Korea and Germany.

My bank has changed my address to 123 Sydney Street, Suburb. NSW The Republic of Korea. 2000.

Im all for a republic but I think Korea is a bit much.

after this morning's explosive poo incident I have decided to take 4 changes of clothes for him (and maybe a mouthmask or 2) :shock:

My daughter had exploding poo while sitting on my lap during turbulence!! Pack spares for you both, too!

Forgot to say pack bin liners. Not the Coles shopping bags but garbage bags you can tie and fold into itself for things you have to throw away.

Currently undergoing my Run, Hide, Fight - Active Shooter Training.

Not a single person in this video took a stupid phone with them as they exited the building so once out the building had to flag down a stranger to use his phone. I dont believe that.

And for the group that decided to "fight". Theres a screamer in the room that wont stop screaming. I say toss her out first as a shield.

Thought about putting this in the humour thread.

Just received a quote from the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo for return airport transfers..

Please kindly find the rate for Deluxe Van from/to Haneda Airport as follows,


Deluxe Van
From/To Haneda Airport JPY 40,700 per way

LOL that's around AUD$480 each way :shock: Maybe it should go in the humour thread..

I trust that Elvis checked the spelling and you remarried the right bloke in Las Vegas .
