I had a dream the other night Ron, you sold the Range Rover and won $21000000.00 on the lotto the next day on a ticket you found.

........................ &true to type, then lost it in the frontloader when he left it in the pocket of his Daks.

Cheeky mongrels!

Today's episode.....

My wife and daughter were booked on a JetStar flight from Ho Chi Minh City last night, due into Sydney at 0915.

I got up early, checked JetStar's website - flight delayed arriving 1230.

OK, no problem, I'll miss the traffic into Sydney.

I was driving to the airport when I get a text message from my wife which she sent last night! They are still in Vietnam. The plane had a problem and departed empty - no pax, no freight - as it had faulty fire extinguishers in the cargo hold. JetStar didn't show it cancelled which, to me, would be the logical thing to do.

How many other people went to the airport to meet the plane.

I was going to say, Ron, that it was hardly your fault.

Then I read crump's post & fell about.

kitten bought a HP scanner, ink jet printer, copier 3 in one for $79 new from kmart with a spare set of ink cartridges

my dad bought a samsung 12meg 20 page minute laser printer for $350

My first toshiba laser printer 1 meg 4 page minute bought in 1987 cost me $3000

Epson 700 photostylus inkjet cost me $700

Cant wait to get rid of my pc and get a mac, at the moment despite spending $900 replacing motherboard, video card, power unit and fan and supposedly 1.5 hours labour looking for the fault it still turns itself off and reboots every 15 to 20 mins or so when in use and within the first 5 mins from powerup.

Curses!

I bought a laser pointer yesterday at Jaycar. It worked when I got it home......

Today it won't work.

At least I can take it back (I hope).

It won't reach 25 metres.

Donot discard the chinese theory, let u in on a story which many wont belive but its true and we have police evidence, my dear old ma in law lives by herself in her little house, once every year or so we venture over for coffee and I am always saying how cold the place feel even with the heater roaring, it feel deathly, anyway one morning she toddles out in to the kitchen and there is blood everywhere, onher new white carpet, up the walls , in the tile grout, she calls the cops and they come over, they say this house is known to us, someone committed suicide in it 2years befoe she moved in, so the cops do forensic tests and they call her in, they said please keep an open mind and asked if she believed in ghosts, apparently the blood belonged to the chinese kid who blew his head of in there 7 years ago and this is fair dinks, we have had a terrible run of bad luck inlast 2 years and its all due to this rice munching clown
