  1. is censed?? WTF? not in any version of English that I've ever seen. Nor any Jinglish I've ever read either! Ah Ha!! I got it!! You meant to type incensed - but that doesn't make sense either. Then again, why does anything have to make sense in the middle of a season with snow lacking!
  2. I paid our accom on Thursday and got 93.6927 to the AUD. Bank transfer via Credit Union through Travelex. It wasn't an exchange to cash, though - that's different!
  3. You got me confused with someone else? pit?? WTF?Never got into the cesspit, only one within a couple hundred miles of my childhood home.
  4. +1 has one of the fitbit ones, tells time plus a few other nifty things, such as number of steps taken, number of stairs (equivalent) climbed. Synch to iPod via bluetooth (but needs net access to initiate) and will then tell the state of your sleeping patterns as well. I cannot see myself wearing a watch to bed, but some of the stuff is interesting. It was neat to have an indication of the distance walked when in Nepal, trekking.
  5. Never had that problem ... best way is to ensure you get the correct genetic material to begin with. I was able to choose the best parents available at the time, and have been blessed with a metabolism that refuses to convert food to fat!
  6. When I get PM capability back (I bin away for too long, apparently!) we can see what can be arranged!
  7. Phew!! - that was close. I arrive at Hotel Alp Jan 30th for ten nights after 5 nights at Madarao. Missed you by that much JA I'll try to make sure there's still some wine left for you, then junkman!
  8. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is trying to get a word in edgewise between these jocks catching up ... Just paid accom at Alp Hotel at Akakura Onsen. January 21 for 8 nights! Cannot wait!
  9. Church?? And pander to the imaginary friend that these people have? Not likely! I arose at 8, had brekky and then did a bit of work. Had coffee break at 10, did a bit of talking about stuff with +1 and then lunch at 1ish. Sat around on the emails for the arvo, dined around 6 and have sat here watching telly and drinking wine since. Badness included a couple Ferrero Rocher chocs with one of the glasses of white had since dinner! Tough life, but someone has to keep the end up!
  10. Heard about the event on the news - seems a major problem. Hoping there's no more deaths to be discovered. Heart goes out to those involved.
  11. I'm on a $20 a month basic mobile plan. Have had it for years and years, and just buy a new phone, transfer the SIM between them. My provider (Telstra in Aus) would love me to upgrade, as they no longer offer this plan, but I am not willing to upgrade as I use the phone mainly as a reception device - ie I answer calls but do not make many - rather than a data/calling device. I use a computer/tablet for data (utilising wifi as required for access) to get data. For me (older but not luddite!) a telephone is for talking to people using voice or text. Data is far more readily used on a tab
  12. Exam results in UK including a relative. Are they worth it though? I think uni was in the end all about the experience and having the piece of paper, and what it said on it wasn't particularly important. And with the cost of going to uni in the UK pretty mad these days... Until someone actually checks the stuff you're doing and finds that it's illegal/unsafe. One case over here of a bloke who stole a degree from a mate, and proceeded to use that as an entree to various engineering jobs, including designs and verification of builds on a Coal Handling plant. He's in jail, and the co
  13. That is one heck of a CV listing right there! My memories of him include his seminal Mork & Mindy episodes, Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs Doubtfire, Dead Poets Society and any number of absolutely hillarious TV "Current Affairs" interviews done here is Aus. The TRV stations are falling over themselves to run outtakes of their interviews, and he seems more and more funny/outrageous in these than in his "comedy" shows. He will be missed!
