Speaking of which. You lot hit the jackpot on that trip, eh.
Two from two in Brumby Land and an epic match on Monday night to boot.

I'm still over East - heading to ANZAc Day Chooks vs Dragons

Enjoy.

Let's hope it's a scoreless draw.

I often hear this "Perth Airport is shit" mantra.
I'm not sure how much people saying such things have travelled, but having been to well over fifty airports in the last few years I can assure folks that there are far worse out there.
Compared to many Perth is actually a pretty functional and compact airside with a highly improved landside.

You're right Burgs anyone who criticises Perth Airport hasn't been to Maningrida. Never been able to get a taxi there. It makes Lake Evella look good....

It was more the fact that half the automated check in computers for qantas were out of order. As well as several of the bag drop ones.

There was also no support for the masses of people who were trying to use the self serve facilities. Qantas really should refund some of my incredibly expensive Easter flight cost for the work I did for them this morning...

That is an airline issue, not an airport issue Jono

I was thinking more along the lines of one end of Houston to the other for connecting flights, multiple terminals at Heathrow and the glorified shed at Windhoek.

OY! I resemble that remark!

Can't be the amount of planes - Mrs Jargs flight back to Perth was delayed because there were no bays available for the plane

haha welcome to my nightmare! Approx 45 take offs/landings in 60 minutes.
The other day there was a 10 plane queue lined up ready for take off!

Back to topic...
CUSTARDS WHO DON'T INDICATE WHEN THEY ARE CHANGING LANES..Come on!!!.. it doesn't take much effort...Cheesh!
I pulled alongside a Merc and told him his car needed a good service as his indicators weren't working when he nearly ran me off the freeway (I was in the inside lane!!...!!! ) Where did he think I was going to go??? My trike does alot but it doesn't fly or jump....!!!!

[jono]

someone at work stole / smashed my western force mug....

for their sake it had better have been one of the ones who have been fired or quit since i was there last. seeing as it was quite clearly labelled...

especially because you cant get them online anymore. anyone seen them at the game day stalls?

[Burgs]

I know this will be seen as petty to some, but students wearing/issued Leavers clothing before they leave!
FFS, it should be part of the thrill of finishing, not a worn out rag in December...

[jono]

i thought that i was given my year were given leavers jumpers to signify them in their final year of school? so that's why we got them during the year

[Burgs]

Maybe it has evolved to that Jono, but the original intent, as started (roughly, maybe a couple of years earlier) around my era by rich private schoolboys, was to signify "making it" to the end, ie "Leaver", not "Potential Leaver".
It was especially strong in full uniform schools as a chance to be individual...by looking like everyone else...

[Swee_82]

In my case, since leavers gear wasn't part of the uniform, you couldn't wear it, except in when we were doing exams- having a "sactioned" jersey was a blessing sitting in the freezing school hall (much better than the 'Michelin Man" look one had trying to keep warm with just the official school uniforms).
Bless the eastern states for going the jersey rather than a hoody. Ok, the "99" on the back is starting to border on sad, but the rest of it still looks reasonably respectable to this day.
