The song is fine, but never would of thought of the drum intro to that as "epic".

Just a little something from The Mighty Van Halen if you like drum intros!

Nice. Can't beat Alex VH either. For me it's not the technical difficulty, it's more the creativity of the intro to SLTS. It defines the song. I miss the drum solo of the day. Scambo?

80,
Heading to NZ next March and just had a conversation with the wife 5 minutes ago and she felt we couldn't do both S and N islands in 11 days. Is she right? We are not extreme outdoorsy types but would like to see both.

If we are limited to just one, which would you recommend?

Thanks, FTS.

You can do both, the South Island is spectacular scenic wise, great people both islands...If I had only one island to see it would be the south island.

Orgasmic maybe?:eek:

Purple Drank 05-13-2015 01:35 PM

South Island for sure.
But I"m more of a Pinot Noir fan. If Cabernet Sauvignon is your bag...North.

Christchurch, Queenstown, Dunedin, the list goes on...I gotta get back soon

RetiredFTS 05-13-2015 02:37 PM

Thanks Iceman and PD. Maybe one of our JVs will add Seattle direct Christchurch by then so I can skip LAX and SYD.

Piklepausepull 05-13-2015 05:12 PM

I did ATL-LAX-AUK(?)-Queensland, all in one (4)shot(s)! Tired monkey and tired monkey family!

I do not recommend it!

Also, doubling the dividend will cause more buying by income geared Mutual funds, thus pumping up the stock price further. I believe our concessions from 2004-2006 were valued at a little over 1 Billion a year.

The company just committed 5 years of our concessions to shareholders (some of our largest individual shareholders being Management types and Directors) while we are in negotiations. In other words, the company has no desire to make us whole after 12 years of our concessions. I'm assuming, of course, that they don't have another 5 Billion laying around earmarked to pay us back for our generous contributions.

But you knew that T, you were just being argumentative.

RA and company are pretty confident that labor risk is, in fact, off the table. I'm trying not to let it feel like a slap in the face.

Joke:
What did the five fingers say to the face?
