They finally bought out a good one this year.
Wasn't perfect but was better. Can't remember exactly what it was.

I should probably check what's on offer before I just go 11..

I've had a laugh about it with mates guessing why it might be, but can anyone tell me why Mark Blicavs's nickname is Brown Thang?

It’s brown fang. Cause one of his front teeth is brown. He gave himself that nickname too

 

[Shell]

You cant give yourself a nickname.

Or you shouldnt.

Lol at the voiceover for the channel 9 news. "Covid... is BACK"

Just dial down the drama a notch, idiots.

Is it time to panic Kent?

Pfizer jab one - tick

hurts less than the flu shot

Did you get to request Pfizer over the other one?

Is his hair still blond cause he did it as a joke?

As someone in the category 1B & under 50, Pfizer is the one I fell into - my doctor didn't even suggest the AZ one and said to wait until I could book into the mass clinic at Ford

I would be bottom of the list so I haven't even bothered to look into yet but I'd definitely look to wait it out for the Pfizer one.

I hate ****ing scam callers, but some of them give a good laugh

- had someone call last week, took like 10 seconds to connect thru on their end so I kept saying "hello". They'd start taking and my only response was "hello", they hung up but then called straight back... When the only response they continued to get was still "hello” they eventually hung up and haven't called back

- another one where the the caller ID showed an international number so I asked which country they were calling from, which they refused to answer so I kept asking until they hung up

- I did have one where I answered the phone with "which country are you calling from", the person panicked, said Cadbury's and they hung up

- just now had another BS one, so before they got too far into their spill I asked how they got the number. Apparently it was from "a friend", but they couldn't tell me which friend, just that it was a friend and something about money

It’s definitely floggish behaviour.

It’s certainly time to crack each others skulls open, and feast on the goo inside.

I genuinely don't think it'll be too long before they remove the current restrictions regarding who can & can't get which vaccine, and that it'll be opened up for anyone who wants to get it can go get it - surely the smarter option considering that there really isn't the take-up I think they wanted

 

[Shell]

Sadly, that wouldnt change my day to day life that much if we went back to LD

My dad and my ex-flatmate when I lived with her would shit me to tears listening to them engage with them- convos just go on and on and on.

My reply is short and sweet; "sorry I'm not interested, thank you" /end call.

Why even say that, just hang up!

Because that's rude.

The fone is mildly annoying but the worst are those ****s either selling stuff or paid charity collectors knocking on your front door. Red Cross or something is fine though.

Years and years ago, I interviewed for one of those jobs + had a half day of "on the job training", it was absolutely horrifying. And just soul sucking.

Needless to say I didnt take the job.
