Time Difference is only 30 mins, But I'm perplexed as to why it feels like 50 years when you step off the plane.

Question

And the precise purpose/meaning of this thread is.......?????

You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Paul Keating (no I'm not a fan) said it best.

"The best way to see Darwin is at 36,000ft on the way to Paris"

No doubt on his way to collect the $300,000 French Louis XV clock that has lain "undiscovered" in the antique shop for around $50 around the corner from the Crillon. Wish I was that clever.

36,000 ft is as close as he ever allowed the Australian people to get near him.

Well, I live in Parramatta and the Eels just killed Manly last night.

Yeehaaa......... damn, I'll miss the footy when I go overseas.

I can just see the great Woomera saying :

What on earth are we talking about here ?.... this is definitely not aviation....click

I thought they classified Adelaide as people who tried to swim from Tassie to Victoria (smart move if you are passing through on your way to warmer climes) but got washed up in SA.
hehe, thats a goodie! Havn't heard that one before.

Yeah, Adelaide is full of tools. weather is often cloudy and rainy when you want to go flying and in drought at every other time. Murphy must live in Adelaide.

I live in Darwhine and the best thing that happened here was Paul Keating flew overhead at FL350 on the way to Paris.

Is that right? I actually thought Geelong was proof that Tasmanians can swim.

This clip is a classic. It should be shown as an immigration intro video to Australia.

This sort of piss taking is what separates us from the rest of the world. We need more of it.

Kekovich? Australian???? Huh???







PS: Erin 2 tips for ya:

1. Tidy up your link by converting it into something like this.

2. Get them to change the advertising photo for "Erin Brokovich" from that retarded looking image of you looking over your shoulder with a stunned-just-smacked-in-the-face-with-a-pork-chop-expression. It SUX!!

Yes, that photo is not of my best side. If you look closely the expression is me clenching my teeth as I let one rip after eating several lamb chops. See it here.

And yes, Kekovich would probably be eating his lamb in a kabab. He's still a funny bastard though.

Thanks for the tip Tinpis, I agree that Darwin is becoming more and more "dynamic" as you say....thats why I have a rental there, it has turned out to be quite a good investment, it's still got a boring as bat**** climate, you have to fly to get anywhere for the weekend (I'm way over Kakadu Katherine crab claw etc) and the scenery while at work is monotonous too.
That is all just my opinion of course, I guess if you lived for fishing and undie rash it would suit you.
Have a good day. cjam
