Humpty Doo, Northern Territory Superthread

[coolian2]

I found out today that not only is the Aboriginal flag under copyright, but the designer and copyright holder lives in Humpty Doo, and he wouldn't let Google use the flag on their Australian page yesterday.

er...that may be how i found the location

I can help you out there



wait, what?

ooh, okay

 

[Axver]

Epic match with Max Wilander

Still going; 6-7, 3-6, 6-2

Oh, finally somebody who's a match for you!

 

[Cin]

Can someone come over and heat my tea up for me? It'll be really easy.

 

[Alisaura]

thanks.

Just all emotionally odd lately, well the last year or so but sometimes more than others. Would really love to take a few weeks off work just to get my head on straight but dont' know if that'll happen, and I'm a little scared to ask.

I know the feeling! Plus I'm compulsively hoarding my leave. Plus I don't think they'd let me take any leave until after June/July anyway... Maybe I should go completely insane, then they don't get a choice, haha.

 

[Axver]

I am pretty sure I will never beat Lendl.

 

[Alisaura]

I take it you are extremely wealthy in Rockall terms?

I am not very well supplied with gigantic boulders, but I do have a number of very nice smaller rocks. I would imagine they'd be analagous to having a rare coin collection though, and not really useful as everyday currency.

However, I know where to obtain lots of gigantic boulders...

Fucking Epic!!

6-7, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4

 

[Alisaura]

whoa, prices are steep there.

*belatedly thinks of a reply*

He'll get an avalanche of change...

 

[Alisaura]

I found all this out today too, or maybe it was yesterday - but I thought he was in northern Queensland?

Triple J said he was in Humpty Doo, an hour out of Darwin ...

 

[Alisaura]

er...that may be how i found the location

So much for coincidences

I have about four weeks of sick and the same of annual up my sleeve. Could probably get a certificate for a week or two if I needed it. Problem is that most folks think that getting out of the house and going to work will take my mind off things. I just want to spend time lying in bed, taking my time to do things for me and noone else.



Tea in microwave. What sort of chicken shop doesn't put gravy on their quarter roast with veg?

You did say you were tired... and I was pretty sure I'd never crack 300,000 in Bejeweled. Obsessive playing will get you there in the end!

 

[bono_man2002]

Triple J said he was in Humpty Doo, an hour out of Darwin ...

Yeah, its about a 45 minute drive.

Damn, that sounds nice. No idea how much sick leave I have, although I used a couple of days' worth the other week.

What sort of twisted logic is that? How does doing the same old job take your mind off anything... :baffled:

 

[Axver]

I hope the other Stick Tennis guys get to Lendl soon, so that I know if it's just me or if he really is this hard ...

 

[Alisaura]

OH MY GOD BEJEWELED IS BROKEN WHAT AM l GOING TO DOOOOOO

i just dropped the first set against wilander. we'll see.

 

[Alisaura]

By the way, are you going to Franz Ferdinand?

 

[bono_man2002]

 

[bono_man2002]

By the way, are you going to Franz Ferdinand?

Nah I don't think so. I've just paid for a trip to Queensland for a few friends (driving up) So I think I'll save my dollars. You're going with someone from work, right?

 

[Axver]

OH MY GOD BEJEWELED IS BROKEN WHAT AM l GOING TO DOOOOOO

Did somebody spill the jewels?

They don't tell us how much sick leave we have cause they figure we'll chuck sickies. I do the pays sometimes so I'm privvy to lots of juicy info.

 

[Axver]

Daniel will have probably beaten Sampras by midnight.

Yeah, and I've just roped a housemate in too. Where in Qld are you going?

I feel like I'm missing out on a reference here, or I'm just been exceedingly thick. The latter is likely.

They don't tell us how much sick leave we have cause they figure we'll chuck sickies. I do the pays sometimes so I'm privvy to lots of juicy info.

I could find out if I asked, I think they have to tell us if we ask HR. But I imagine I'd have a bit, since I don't often get sick.

 

[Axver]

i know

I can't do any better than 6-2 set losses to Lendl. This is ridiculous. Oddly, sometimes both of those 2 will come from BREAKING his serve!

 

[Slopsy]

Bleah, everyone went outside.

 

[coolian2]

i wouldn't say she isn't cute.

 

[bono_man2002]

Off to the Gold Coast for 5 nights, then staying at a friends unit in Ballina. (about 30 mins from Byron Bay)
