Wonderful.
I’ve upset my back and laughing really hurts.
I just wonder what the original was and how you found it.
Better luck next time,

Andrew,
Very funny captions, much enjoyed. I hope the trip home is comfortable.

It gets better. A missing switch guard in the cockpit will mean I miss my connection in LAX so I get to overnight there too.
/me prepares the goat sacrifice
OMG Andrew.
Something electrical! Dang. Did they not have duct tape?
You will need to sacrifice a goat on the cairn at the summit of Mt Kosciuszko to appease the SOTA gods. Hmm maybe the rangers won’t think well of that.
Maybe a lamb chop BBQ on another SOTA peak with its own BBQ facilities and some red wine to represent the sacrificial blood and a few commiserating activators would do it.
We could start the failed activators annual wake. You would of course be the President of this august body.
Get a good nights sleep.
I have had regular 18 h interconnection delays in Nairobi and 12 h in Bangkok on the same trip over the last 3 years. And I used to think 3 h stopover in Adelaide was bad.

Dear Andrew, in your absence, Nan and I sacrificed some goat sausages (no preservatives) and a good Shiraz over lunch, Well, it was my mother-in laws birthday but what the heck.
Have a safe trip home & look forward to catching up.
Tony,
[quote=“vk3afw, post:24, topic:9714”]interconnection delays[/quote]23 hours in Bangkok was, I think, the worst I’ve had to deal with.
[quote=“vk3afw, post:24, topic:9714”]BBQ on another SOTA peak with its own BBQ facilities[/quote]Sounds like an excellent idea, especially in VK. Here, of course, there probably aren’t any such Summits, and it would most likely rain on the occasion, too…

It’s a long shot, but if there are any SOTA guys in LA who would be willing to show a brother a close, easy summit before my 10pm flight out tonight 23rd Nov, give me a call on +61 409 764 732 after 10am PST or so.
All my gear is air side of LAX, so I would need to borrow some gear.
Can some good come out of this LA stopover, or am I forced to replay episodes of The OC in my brain?

Hi Rod,
The original is from Downfall, but the parody versions have been going around for years:
Cheers,
