Possibly

I was randomly reading a Wikipedia article about that Heaven's Gate cult, and PT were mentioned in it... and then today I was flipping through a Bass Guitar magazine and there was Colin Edwin, in an ad for whatever brand of speakers/amps/pedals he uses.

Awesome. In Brisbane, SW renamed Colin. He was saying that "this is the first time any of us have been to your country - except for Mr I Have An Australian Passport over here".

Ian, we're going to have to do something about that taste of yours.

Probably, yeah.

 

[Axver]

It's all right for people with no nerves in their skin, but we were suffering enough last night...

The Bureau says it got down to 7.9. That's probably barely any cooler than a Wellington summer night.

Days like today are why I moved here. Yesterday in Queensland, it was 27. Far too hot. I shouldn't want to put a fan on in LATE APRIL.

 

[mysterious_jen]

Probably, yeah.

very much so yes . i will get you over to the dark side soon.

Incidentally, when I left the Gold Coast today, it was 23.

And my family were bitching about how cold it was.

In short (heh), the 747SP was a shrunk version of the 747-100 which allowed longer range flights and was more capable of short runways than the usual 747.

Ahh, right. With the comparison pictures, the difference looks rather obvious.

Oooh, what dark side are we talking about today?

 

[Axver]

Of the moon?

 

[coolian2]

Ahh, right. With the comparison pictures, the difference looks rather obvious.

Admittedly i wasn't comparing a 747-100 with the 747SP, but you get the idea.

I remember seeing the Qantas ones in Sydney 10-12 years ago, they were fucking funny looking planes.

I daresay the current A380 will look similar in comparison to the A380-900 that Airbus are examining.

 

[coolian2]

Did you know it matches up with The Wizard of Oz perfectly?

 

[Axver]

Admittedly i wasn't comparing a 747-100 with the 747SP, but you get the idea.

Let's face it, I wouldn't know the difference between the 747-100 and 747-400 anyway.

 

[Axver]

Did you know it matches up with The Wizard of Oz perfectly?

I know a guy who claims to have done it successfully three times.

Personally, I don't give a shit about the Wizard Of Oz, so I haven't tried.

 

[coolian2]

Let's face it, I wouldn't know the difference between the 747-100 and 747-400 anyway.

That's why i did it.

The only really obvious differences are the winglets and the longer upper deck.

 

[coolian2]

The two and a half times i've seen it are more than enough for me.

Shiny...

Ah, right. The extent of my knowledge about 747s is pretty much that all three times I've been on one, it's been a 747-400 (Sydney <-> San Francisco and Brisbane --> Auckland).

On a similar note, I'm excited because today I finally saw the only working member of the B1 class while I had my camera on me and photographed it (it cruised past while Ali and I were waiting for PT on Friday night but I didn't have my camera). I bet if I posted a picture of it and a picture of a B2, nobody here would spot the difference. Except Ali, who knows because I told her on Friday! Whether she remembers is probably another thing entirely ...

Yet you can spot the difference between a B2 and a B1 (or something Bananas-in-Pyjamas-esque) tram, with your allegedly crappy vision, from over a block away...

 

[coolian2]

Wow, it's really pissing down now.

I hope the house doesn't float away overnight

 

[Axver]

OK, it's 8C. WHY am I having a glass of orange juice with ice?

Good call

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... wha...? huh?

Because it's nice.

I WAS WONDERING WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE WOULD MAKE THE BANANAS IN PYJAMAS CONNECTION.

And it wasn't a block away! It was on the same street as us, cruising past and turning onto Spring Street!

And here i am still without a shot of the Aircalin A330 that flies into Auckland.....

 

[Alisaura]

Good call

At NIGHT, I should add!

 

[coolian2]

At NIGHT, I should add!

That's not a bad effort, considering i have to look really carefully to determine aircraft types at night (unless i can identify them by livery or engine noise!)

 

[Axver]

At NIGHT, I should add!

Actually, that would make it easier. Today's was a harder spot. At night, the window split level is more apparent due to the bright light shining behind it.

Well Ali, what do you have to say to that?

And I imagine that's easier to catch than the B1 too.
