It for sure does some weight to it. It's really well balanced too. Swinging it would do some damage.

Apparently my great grandfather was a Bobby back in England. I have his truncheon. Looks like it's had a few knocks too.. probably sorted out some likely lads. Found it while sorting out my Nanna's belongings.

Yeah I've told work I won't be available tomorrow. Got some things to take care of so it'll be good to take a day.

The hits keep on hitting. Told I have the diabeetus last week. This afternoon I get the call that my nan has passed away, so with my parents in America I'm handling things with my best British stiff upper lip and just now I finally sat down after having to call my mum and tell her that her mum has died then dealing with the paperwork, looked at my phone and it appears the reason I stopped hearing from the woman I was interested in persuing things with is that she might have taken her jerk ex back.

Sprinkle in a couple of minor work annoyances like people ignoring things I say when I'm meant to be a voice of authority and I'm just having a grand old time. Yaaaay.

Probably expensive seafood and white wine too. Oh and people wearing a lot of white linen and playing bocce. Is this related to something I haven't heard about because I don't watch/read the news?

My work is terrible at asset management. I have so many old devices kicking around it's stupid. I should just dump them all at the office with someone sometime but they're all long-forgotten.

I have a work Windows Phone in my desk somewhere.. thing belongs in a museum.

Coles/Woolies or whatever is cheapest bottled water vs Mount Franklin or any other fancy brand. The cheap ones are fine. I don't even know if they still sell Evian here but Evian tastes weird. So does NestlΓ©'s one whatever that's called. Obligatory Fuck NestlΓ©.

Don't come at me with "just drink tap water it's great in Melbourne".. I do when I'm home.. but I also go on road trips to places with less-than-amazing tap water and/or no chilled water.

Another vote for the Aldi chocolate range which is incredible and leagues ahead of Cadbury and just about anything you can get from the Colesworth shelves. Maybe Lindt is a contender but like 3x more expensive than the Aldi stuff.

Got it 3 baybeeeeeeee but that's almost entirely because I'm an idiot and I didn't even realise I was using the US spelling

Got the news this morning but haven't brought myself to tell anybody yet so you'll be the first. I did the glucose resistance test last week and it seems I have type 2 diabetes. I felt fine during and after the tests so I thought maybe I'd be ok but apparently not so much.

It was almost inevitable, I think, considering dad and I are so similar and he has it. I'm still processing it though. I don't think I have any of the symptoms of it but no doubt if I don't start managing it they'll start popping up. This is my first real health issue. Never broken a bone or had to go to hospital besides normal infant stuff. Not as invincible as I suspected.

I don't watch any reality type of shows unless they're about finding gold or opals but this new Sin City Tow show on Discovery is my new little treat. I'm sure a chunk of it is staged but I don't care.

 

Christmas Edition!

Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.

Bot001 has abandoned us. Save yourselves!

 

Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread. RIP Bot #001

 

Basically a nothing article about how Sally Capp reckons Melbourne would be a good place for a Disneyland Australia, but I thought it might be worth discussion. I personally don't think we (Melbourne) have the right weather for a Disneyland, especially out there. Too windy. Imagine what it'd do to the traffic on the Princes Fwy too..

Anyway.. what do you think? Where in Australia would you put a Disneyland?
