    Burger King is called "Hungry Jacks" here in Oz.

    MacDonalds is called MacDonalds.
    Subway is called Subway.
    "Captain Nemo's" is opposition to Subway.

      Does Captain Nemo's serve a Nautilaus Burger?
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        I want a donut.
        I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

              Yes. They call them Nautialis foot long subs. Is that the same thing for you guys ?

                It was just a lucky guess. Captain Nemo only visits down under, apparently. =^..^=

                  Every now and then it occurs to me how weird it is that there are animals that can fly and it doesn't seem fair.

                    There was a relatively energetic solar storm that passed through the Earth's neighborhood a couple of days ago. Anybody see the aurora borealis then? It was cloudy here.

                      It didn't quite make it here apparently. :/

                            You want to feel weird, wait until you see a 30-40 cm flying fish fly close by the boat.
                            It's a weird rub-your-eyes-twice kind of sensation... WTF!
                            It really gives the senses a reality jolt. Flying fish wings make a chatter sound in fight.

                              Good lunch ideas? I'm sick of the plain old ham sandwich, and when you out on calls there isn't much else, no microwaves ect

                              Any one have any crafty tasty ideas that might make the day a bit more bearable ? Keen to try and get out of the habit of spending big $$$ on fast food all day!

                                I would like to get hold of some of the photos of house size electrical transformers
                                that explode the top covers off after a back EMF power surge.
                                These transformers are 40-50 mm thick plate steel and the top covers are welded an bolted every 100-150mm
                                using 1" dia bolts. The power surge just folds the top cover back like a jam tin lid.
                                I've seen powerpole mains transformers explode in the city from time-to-time due to solar storms. So I'm informed.
