The opposite of -12!

You don't mean..., light braised, smoked trout, wish a dash of pepper and lime juice?

Hmm.  People in Australia should be able to connect on the whole second only to Singapore itself and Malaysia.  We do have a pipe more or less direct to Singapore - the most latent part is the hop through Perth for me (but it's still quicker than travelling the Southern Cross out to Hawaii, then through Seattle, and wherever it might go from there - so we're lucky, because that's always on the cards.  I mean, it's a significantly fatter pipe, but, speed of light, dudes - so restrictive when travelling all the way across the planet just to get to SG).  I regularly get between 120 and 150, with occasional spikes at around 215, very rarely as high as 300.

When it's working, of course.

As for the NPC quests - well, I'd been wandering why a quest that I'd done before in a different character was failing despite doing it exactly the same way  . 
But hey, eventually the characters' stats will all be deleted and we get to start over again, right?
