Mr P received an email today, 3/9/13 with a photograph of friends as they sailed through the Sydney Heads on.....wait for......Australia Day, 2013!!!!!!!
Update:@ TJ. Ok, I will explain. Four friends departed on a 3 week cruise on Australia Day 2013, more than seven months ago.
One of them took a photo with his smart phone of the 4 of them with Sydney Head as a backdrop as the ship sailed past the Heads. He sent the email to my husband.
My husband received the email TODAY.
Sorry if my first explanation was not clear. Maybe my sense of humour is warped, but I thought it was funny that in this time of instant everything an email took 7 months to reach its destination.
Maybe if he had the photo printed and put it in a bottle it may have reached us sooner.

Were your friends the first people to be connected to the Coalition's NBN?
Geez, some people are really slow on the uptake today.
I don't think so. It all depends on your own connection and whether or not you're willing to do something about it. Mine's not perfect, but it's acceptable enough and I see no reason to make a national issue out of it.
With email service like that, even a carrier pigeon is looking good.
Yes. Try being an online gamer.
Yes, and the NBN is the way to do it. Pollies in cities can prattle on about wireless internet as much as they like but they need to give us a mobile phone network that works first. You know when they say "98% of Australians will be covered" ? That means 2% of Australians, that's nearly half a million, will not be. When you are one of those half million, like me, who will get fast internet from the NBN but not from wireless, you tend to be a little biased.
Be grateful what we have. This is lease important to do so. There's better money to spend rather than this garbage.
Only an idiot would halt the construction of the NBN.
