Things that please me - Part 6

[dales.girl38]

We got upgraded from premium economy to business class on a MEL > LA flight back when V Australia was quite new, so we weren't loyal customers or anything. They didn't even tell us we'd been upgraded, they were just profusely apologising that their pyjama supplier hadn't delivered and we wouldn't be getting our pyjamas - we were just like "ummm sure" (thinking that we didn't realise premium economy people got pj's), then they directed us to the lounge, then we looked at our tickets and walked fast in case they'd made a mistake

I don't mind going to Bunnings as long as it's early in the morning on the weekend, Bunnings mid morning on a Saturday is a bit crazy.

Occassionally you get a very pleasant staff member who is engaging and when asks you "how are you doing?" clearly means she wants you

In my mind that’s all of them.

Have you ever had to use it though?

It's not a question of if, but how many today

Hey you never know these days, for some people the ring is a selling point.

There is a work lunch this week at a 'democratically' selected location. I spent the better part of last week to sway opinion gently on where to go and now we're eating exactly where I want and everyone thinks it's a great idea.

Got a work Teams meeting at 7am this morning with our OS team. All of my workmates are complaining about how early it is, given I'm an early riser and get up before 5 most days no issues for me ha ha

I partly cut my adult reading teeth on my dad's collection of Zane Greys, had no idea of an Oz connection.

Why is a cowboy writer from Ohio venerated in a small Aussie beach town? The incredible story of Zane Grey

The dentist-turned bestselling author had caravan park named after him after making a killer shark movie in 1930s Australia. A swashbuckling new biography unspools the unlikely tale

If you win more than $25k here on a public lottery the winner has to be made known.

Wow.

It’s a story I’ve told before but my Dad knew a guy who won lottery. Decided to buy a horse called Doriemus and won Caulfield and Melbourne Cups the next year. Some people with all the luck! lol

Probably harder to buy a Melbourne Cup winner than win the lottery. Lloyd Williams has spent hundreds of millions to win 4 or 5

I won 10k on a $2 scratchy and wife when she was 16 won 15k on a scratchy

 

[Catfish Alley]

My boys had a little extra time with their Mum. Hadn’t seen them for a week and a half and my oldest (12) grew another inch. Over 5”7 now and gaining on me fast. So screwed for grocery bills when they hit teens. Lol.

I've heard a lot of places do it to actually show that people do really win.

I did see one somewhere where the guy wore a mask as he was presented with the big novelty check for the media.

I never played it, I just remember the nightly Keno draws on channel 9 with Nikki McCarthy

 

[Plugger35]

The most I've won is about 5k when I got 6 numbers in Oz Lotto a few years ago, if I had got 7 numbers I would've won 30 mill.
