got back from camping on the weekend and had an amazing time. I've gotta say guys, tidal river is just the best. Its camping lite. You have hot showers, you can go grab a coffee and a bacon and egg roll in the morning, there is Drinkable water. If you have never been camping you should consider giving it a go. Heck, reach out to me and I can recommend all the gear you need for under 100 bucks. the amount of folks rocking a Kmart tent was pretty nuts. And you'll come back feeling so recharged you'll wonder why you didnt do it sooner.

Someone's brought a cat in a stroller on the tram and everyone on the nearby seats is awwwing at it. A nice scene after seeing the ol' AOs interrogate and fine a clueless looking Asian guy while letting a ratty looking white couple go with just a talking-to
So AOs are also racist.
that shit makes me so angry, i've noticed it a few times as well
We won. Australia won The Cricket World Cup 2023. 🏆🎉💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛🇦🇺
I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.
Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!

Bugger.
Seems like someone has found my secret spare house key location and it's gone :(
Been having a few tradies recently and the only way you could see the key would be if you were up high.. and tradies were up on scaffolding above where it was.
I'm not accusing anyone but now means my policy is potentially void and I need to change locks.
This is on top of waking up the other week to find all the flyscreens taken off out the back in an attempted break in.
Fuck those people.
May I suggest a key safe?
I'm embarrassed to say this message exchange was what prompted me to tack a Bunnings trip onto my outing to get a really basic key safe for my spare keys (currently naked under an overturned pot in the car port, which has definitely had things filched from it before). Dont know why I didn't consider it earlier...

Willowton Free Range Chicken (available from Aldi) consistently outperforms all other chicken brands I've tried which are frequently tough and chewy.
Sitting on the train, on the way to work
In a bit of pain, my stomach kinda hurts
I drank too much and now I'm dying
If I say I'm fine, I'm only lying

Argh, black friday sales, can't resist!
Optus CEO fell on her sword. Or was pushed, either way its the first smart move optus has made in this whole saga.
I imagine she's off to some "silent" position somewhere that pays her just as much.
I just unfollowed every account I've followed on instagram. Not following any accounts. Don't know why I did it, but I did. Today has been weird.
Also a couple of days ago, I spoke to bar guy about the playlist thing and he said that lyrics are the last thing that he listens to. He eventually figured out that I was trying to convey something through the lyrics and he told me he loved me for the first time. That was cute.
I also found out that I was known as jukebox girl at the beginning by a couple of his friends because he didn't wanna say my name.

Miss Meow is in full snuggle & purr miode. I think it's a deliberate ploy to keep me from walking Mr Woof.
Edit: she's gone off for second breakfast now, Walkies is go!
Snuggles would be nice. I’ve got an all pointy bits deployed foot hunter.
Some of the snuggles did involve pointy bits. She does for some reason like giving a boob massage with claws out, no matter how often I tell her it is not welcome.
God damn it why can't people call me by my full name. Why do they shorten it without asking me and despite me telling them to call me by my name?
It's not a white person name so for example, say my name was Taylor, they call me 'Tayl'. It really drives me up the wall. Its not even a hard name to say!!!
I agree it's annoying fulwank
Isnt it just, Botto?...
wait... does that mean you're actually...
Same but I’m glad I included my English name in official documents so it helps if I am interacting with real people (Ba Con Mash, Mash being my English name). Still banks and companies etc. say Dear Ba,
Funny. I HATE it. I introduce myself as Tom instead of Thomas (example, obviously). the amount of people who call me Thomas is nuts even after being told it's Tom. Its like "No, I told you my name. show me the respect of using it." I immediately assume you're being condescending otherwise.
Am white, but also hate it! My parents didn't name me "Banana" they named me "Bananafungus", and unless I've told you otherwise that's what you can call me.

I'm sorry but coffee does not taste like chocolate, plum or any other bullshit descriptor.

It sounds like a lot of whipper snipping going on next door. Fingers crossed the blackberries are being cleared out.
Edit: sadly the blackberries are still there. Most of the other overgrown stuff is chopped, but the blackberries remain. Regular border patrols for encroaching canes will need to continue.
Prequel edit: I accidentally travelled back in time and origionally posted this comment on yesterdays thread.
As a film/TV buff in Australia, I will never not be jealous of how the UK/US/Europe get all these cool creative talks/discussions with casts and crews for things. I know I can watch most of them on YT now, but I feel like you miss so much of the "vibe" not being there. When I've been to ones here, there's sort of this buzz of curiosity in the room that sometimes has you leaning forward.
hmmm. anyone have legit tried and true yellowing bedding tricks? His lordship has been an oily oily boy on his pillow protectors.
Already given them the ol' oxy soak

Whilst hold music can be annoying, it is vastly preferable to "helpful messages" on loop.
Edit: still on hold. Aaaarrrrggghhh
DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE
And download an app! It makes it all so easy!! WOW!
We just won't mention that the website is completely broken, as is the entire company, and there is a very good chance this call will never actually get answered at all.
Eleven more minutes and I have made it to my self-imposed hour on hold limit so I can tick off "yes, I tried to contact the company" on the complaint form to the Ombudsman.
