Just had a chat to the ol' man about how to go about this new potat patch. It's almost there and I said the shovel is the one to use for the rest. He said "you mean the spade".

And it reminded me of my late grandma's saying :"A spade is a spade and not a fucking shovel".

We lost to South Africa.

For a few months now we've been experimenting with soju. The aussie soju is like Black Douglas and the South Korean is like Johnny Walker double black. The difference is very distinctive.

I do like soju a lot - any recommendations (of the south korean ones)?

Definitely soggy out there today. I'm glad the food market is now fully under cover. There wasn't a lot today, but I did get some nice beef sausages and some strawberries.

Do we have any art instances in Aussie Zone? I thought we did, I subscribed to some art instances somewhere anyway, but not seeing them now…

Trying to sub to other instances remotely and it’s saying Aussie Zone or AussieZone are not valid…

Edit: Ok nvm, found the ones I’m subscribed to. But they’re Lemmy World, tbh I’m trying to build our Aussie instances up as well and get them active.

Anyone experiencing issues with Bank of Melbourne / VISA credit cards?

Can't tell if it's an issue with the weather or I've been hacked, but my credit card got declined and the website says balance unavailable.

Tried contacting them, but after 8pm that's a no no apparently.

I'm Bof Melb here - but there's been an outage with St George and Westpac (Bof Melb is part of that group) so no surprises if there is. Fourth outage this week apparently.

[–] stevied71@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Ahh, I seem to have missed that until now. Thanks for letting me know!
