Ah, I remember the Good Old

Ah, I remember the Good Old Days of Filofax - I still have some blank Weekly Meal Planner pages (somewhat yellow with age now!), as well as Recipe pages. I shall have to download the Traveller's Checklist just for nostalgia purposes :)

Thanks for that, that's the only one at the moment but I might publish some others soon.

High school was...

...so long ago, our carboys were calibrated in hogsheads!!

I must admit, though, that moving on to college, the preferred volume units were pints and jiggers... ;-)

Found only one

Steve,

Sorry for the delay... I've gone ahead and published this template: http://www.diyplanner.com/node/6485

It's the only one I found with your name. Can you let me know how many more you submitted and I'll try to get those up as well?

Thanks,
/innowen

Thanks everyone. I've also

Thanks everyone. I've also submitted these files to the Templates area, but they are still waiting approval, not sure how long that takes?

jallison12 — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 04:22:25 -0400

My packing checklist always has a sub heading of

Chargers:
Ipod (kids)
Laptop
Zen MP3 (mine :oP)
Motorola phone (buggery Motorola for not allowing any old USB charger)
Jabra
PSP
Converter (if going back to blighty)

Harrumph :o(

Cambridge for 2010!! - Brits love the underdog (can't get more "under" than -4 out of 5)

That torch needs cleaning...

Milk 2

Katrina — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 03:15:30 -0400

Down here in Australia home delivey of milk is just dying out now.

Our milkman is one of the few milk delivers in our area who is still in business. He delivers milk three times a week... and eggs, bread, fruit juice, and other dairy items (cream, yoghurt, custard, cheese, butter, etc).

As to the list, I recognised the names of everything as we use almost all those terms here. The spare fuses make sense if someone is renting a holiday home as often the owner can be far away (in the case of Australia, sometimes the other side of the country).

What was fascinating is how quickly times change and what was missing - no laptop, mobile/cell phone, GPS, iPod, etc.

And just how big was that picnic going to be if the 'traveller' needed that much cleaning equipment? Maybe it's in case of a picnic food fight :)

And...

the speed of the winning team was posted in furlongs per fortnight !

Does anyone else recall that particular unit from US high school physics ?

Well, that must explain today's Oxford-Cambridge race! They were showing the rower's height in feet-inches, and weight in stone, pounds and ounces. That was so confusing to me! I wondered if it was just because of long-standing tradition, or what was going on.... :-)

(And I was rooting for Cambridge--they had a Polish team member) ;-)

Nah the EU recently and

reepicheep — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:26:33 -0400

Nah the EU recently and finally saw sense and determined that the UK can use either units of measure. Makes a mockery of English Trading Standards officiers prosecuting retailers who were only using Imperial measures.

Illegal???

I was rudely awoken this morning by the milkman delivering four pint bottles of fresh milk to my front door.

Isn't he running afoul of EU regulations? I mean.... pints? Pints? ;-)

-Jon

Oh yes there ...

reepicheep — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 13:31:11 -0400

I was rudely awoken this morning by the milkman delivering four pint bottles of fresh milk to my front door. Then after falling asleep I was rudely awoken a second time by a competitor dairy company's delivery man driving the other way down my road.

Hairpiece?

jallison12 — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 06:06:40 -0400

I really ought to go to bed.

My favs:
Hairpiece
Cricket Equipment
Bottle opener AND corkscrew
Sunbed(s)
clothes line
Insulin
Alcohol
Insect repellant
(immediately followed by)
Insect cream (yeah,, you would pack the repellant, but would you remember to use it!)

Just priceless! Thank you very much for posting this Steve.

Torch :o)

jallison12 — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 05:50:27 -0400

Torch! LOL. I still blurt that out when my composure is failing me:
Me - "Get me a torch, quick!"
My kids - "A what?"
Me- "a Tor..a...a bloody flashlight!"
My kids - "Aha, OK!"

Travellers Checklist

TempsPerdu — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:05:31 -0400

Back in the mid 1980's Filofax produced a lot more pages for their personal organisers than they do now.

Attached is a recreation of their Travellers Checklist in A4 Landscape format, but folded it should fit A5 and possibly scale to other sizes as well.

It might be best to customise it to your needs and may be update it in a few areas as well.
