What Annoys You?

[fish]

Have you tried talking nicely to your 'puter?
They have feelings too you know.



Gotta love Michael Leunig.

[Ian]

I managed to fix it just by re-downloading it again without uninstalling. Working fine now.

[Ian]

Cyclone heading my way in the next few days, it seems.

[fish]

That's really scary Ian.
Picking up in intensity too so I see.

Hopefully it will miss a direct hit on you.
Not good for areas to your south, but hopefully you'll be spared.

Best of luck.

[Ian]

Cheers. We should only be on the fringes with a bit of luck. Not supposed to be here till Tuesday. Hope so, I was kinda hoping to go see Beauty and the Beast tomorrow.

[fish]

As long as your priorities are in the right order.


Saw a report from Townsville on TV today.
It seems the authorities have the infrastructure in place to keep people safe.
Hope so.

[Ian]

Always.

Possible lengthy power cuts coming in the next few days. If you don't see me in the next few days, don't panic!

[fish]

...don't panic!

Cyclone Debbie made landfall a bit to the south of Townsville, just north of the little city of Mackay.
They eye was over the beautiful Whitsunday Islands where wind gusts of over 260kph were felt.
25,000 people in low lying areas of Mackay were evacuated due to the expected tidal surge.



Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays.



Stay safe Ian.
Thinking of you.

[Ian]

Thanks, fish. I'm fine. In the end it didn't come anywhere near us, though obviously many on the coast have been devastated.
But we've been taken off the danger list now it seems, so we dodged a bullet here thankfully!

[fish]

Thanks, fish. I'm fine...

Very skillful of you to deflect the direct impact like that.

I guess the next few days will see how much damage the floods cause around Bowen and Mackay (one of my favourite places) and the rest of Qld as the system heads south.

[Ian]

Indeed.

Thanks, fish. I'm fine...

Very skillful of you to deflect the direct impact like that.

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object...

[fish]

...an immovable object...

A flooded road near Ayr, north of Bowen.
Stay away from the water.

Bloody hell!
That's a bull shark.
Very dangerous.

[Ian]

F**********************!

Bought Pretty Little Liars off ebay the other day. Came today.

Season 1.

In a boxset with a season 6 cover.

[fish]

I trust you let them know your displeasure.
