Hi Guys
Went up to Perth to take the mother in law to the airport on sat.
When we walked into the domestic terminal my eyes popped out,there was a lovely silver Disco3 and even better still,it was the main prize in a free raffle.
Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth I got a ticket or 3.
I guess its a con as you have to fill in all your details so no doubt the telemarketers will be calling soon.

If you got the d3 would you really be at home to answer the telemarketers? In reality though i have found not much to be free in this modern world (apart from air) Mental note to self "find a way to sell air to the general public and buy a new d3 with the profits"

You are correct Dobbo
And then there are the "oxygen wasters" in our world we all wish we could eliminate:spudnikshooter: :spudnikshooter: :spudnikshooter: :spudnikshooter:

get the o2 wasters to push the d3 cause with the price of fuel we wouldn't be able to drive it to soon enough. Like the old saying "kill the hippie to fertalize the trees" everything works out for the better in the end.

This is a quote I have heard not neccesarily my point of view I have no problem nor do I want to offend or harrass any hippies reading this post. Saying that why would a true hippie be on a computer using electricity anyway???

Funny you should mention selling air. Under the heading of only in America, i was in Las Vegas recently and you can go to an air bar and buy air. You have the choice of mountain air or sea air etc you pay and place oxygen mask over your face and breathe in that lovely air. Was going to try it for the hell of it but could'nt bring myself to pay $8.50us for 10mins of air!!!!!!!!!.:confused:

We have an O2 bar here in Townsville:o. Situated right in the heart of most the night clubs. I have no idea what it costs to breathe 98% O2 ( I think that's the percentage they are selling ), but that said, I bet it's a great cure for a hang over.:eek:

It will only be 98% odd if it is via a non-rebreather bag and mask, therapy masks are only good for about 60% O2. Dont let them fool you that it is 98-100%. Therapy mask are what are generally used. Normal breathed in air is around 21% O2.We tend to use the non rebreathers as it gives a better O2 supply into the blood should it be low. If you have access to a SPO2 monitor put that on your finger and then go on O2 and you will see your blood oxygen saturation come up to 99%. Most people are between 96% and 98% normally depending on how effecrive their transpiration rate is.
O2 bars are very common in countries like Japan.
Yes, O2 is good for hangovers, provided you can keep the mask on and not throw up. O2 does tend to make your mouth very dry and can make some people nauseous.

When one of these annoying telemarketers ring do the fllowing:

1. Tell them you have called a consulting firm.
2. Cost is $150 per hour.
3. Ask them for a credit card number so you can start billing.

They'll hang up soon without you needing to ask :) .
