I used to laugh at the possible concept of a toothbrush with a hinge, until they invented a toothbrush with a "flexible head". Now, a toothbrush with Bluetooth??? We really don't have much more we can milk out of optimistic marketing, surely? Put that with the new electric kettle that messages you when it's boiled......

Thank you for 93 pages of "Aviation Laughter" . Is it time to put this to bed yet, and simply agree to disagree? Perhaps theological debates should be conducted offline, or simply do not look at threads that have offended you in the past to see if they have offended you even more now. Maybe this is one thread for the scrapheap.

What's to see in Sydney and Perth?
damkia replied to Head in the clouds's topic in General Discussion
Freo and Rottnest Is. in Perth. Margaret River wineries if you have a car and don't mind driving. Sydney - usual stuff (Bridge/Circ Quay/ Opera House), DEFINITELY Manly ferry, for the views (take camera). Bondi beach (bucket list), Blue Mountains if you have a car. -

Gotta love those typogrophical errors:wink: "People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones"

The funny thing about that is that if you try to learn a language like Chinese, one symbol (sound) when spoken has different meanings too, yet most people nominate this aspect as the most difficult to come to terms with when learning the language...

Always backup TWICE and store in different locations if it is uber critical

German ones are usually spread across three pages and fold out two pages deep along the bottom to accommodate their concatenation of words. Italian ones??? How can you incorporate hand gestures in a crossword? Ever seen Italians "speak"? Italian without hand gestures is like words without vowels and consonants. I think crosswords would be an impossibility for the Chinese/Japanese/Koreans

Actually that should be 59o59, being half of 118118....... Speaking of England, why is it that the English language when spoken in England is incomprehensible to any other country? All it is is a musical bag of vowels with nary a consonant spoken? (now there's another word we could dispose of - "nary")

Some word are definitely outdated or so seldom used as they should be removed from the language. A good example is: floccinaucinihilipilification floc·ci·nau·ci·ni·hil·i·pil·i·fi·ca·tion [flok-suh-naw-suh-nahy-hil-uh-pil-uh-fi-key-shuhn] Show IPA noun Rare. the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language). Origin: 1735–45; < Latin floccī + naucī + nihilī + pilī all meaning “of little or no value, trifling” + -fication .......kind of like the word itself, eh?

The strange thing is whenever I think of that guy in Florida that was consumed by a sinkhole, a whole lot of DA seems possible. (Heathrow airport?)

I worked at GTV9 in the early 80's and there was one well known male personality there that would literally get bags of mail from adoring housewives all over Victoria. He used to put them in his car with his 16 yr old boyfriend and take them home..........

A definite Darwin Award contender for product of the year. If you are not killed in the actual accident caused by fiddling with your phone, then all the energy of the explosive charge will most likely be directed down, severely hampering your reproductive possibilities by blowing your "bits" off if you do survive. Win-Win for the rest of us.

........and you wonder why the author is "freelance"? (ie "unemployed/casual employed")

...........apart from the explosive charge and airbag underneath. It is just a reinvention of this
