I'm have a problem with the Judds. I was always impressed with how Chris navigated his ways out of the beagles post premiership. I thought he had a head on his shoulders. His wife has always been nothing more than a fashionista. She did the red dress thing in her skinny little way and the perth people were besotted. Years down the track, she seems to have skyrocketted into a reality free zone. It makes me question whether my initial assessment of her husband was completely off target. People in Melbourne have probably seen a lot more of these two than I have, living in Perth and not watching TV, but I have a strong desire to see the Judds vacate public life. I see the wife is deemed an influencer. I wonder how the vacuous influence the vacuous.

Morning all - Blue eye and dentist report:

1. Blue eye - in Vic Blue eye is a trevalla (Cod in NSW, Blue nose in NZ) Last night on SBS Food Justine Schofield was in New Caledonia cooking Warehou - I think that might be the same family if not same fish. No blue eye at fishmongers this morning - bought John Dory instead - wife said she prefers dory to blue eye, so points there!

mind seafood names vary from creative variations to downright fraud - eg - bits punched out of stingray wings sold as scallops, mangrove jack sold as snapper etc. Flake in fish and chip joints sold as whiting, snapper, bream, blue grenadier etc - just make the batter look different...

2. the dentist. Quite a performance! Dentist said I'd broken a fair chunk of filling and tooth off. Anyway he cleaned it all up and put in a temp resin filling - need a crown $$$$$ when things return to normal. Dentists are restricted in what they can do because saliva is a very likely home for the virus - drilling and spraying mouth with water all very risky. To complete the procedure he had to drill the temp filling back. To do this he had to put a rubber bag over my mouth - cut a hole in it and drill. When he'd finished I told him many people would be envious of him - he looked puzzled and asked "why?" - I said many people would love to put a rubber bag over my mouth :)

All good except when receptionist stapled the eftpos receipt to the account she put the staple in any old random spot (she is a repeat offender) :(
My clear preference is that staples go on an angle in the top left hand corner - have a nice day

Mangrove jack for snapper is a win if you're talking southern snapper IMHO. If you're talking the bream they call snapper up in the tropics then at worst its a draw. More broadly though, I'm not sure why people buy anything other than flake in F&C shops anyway. As you highlight, it's unlikely you're getting what you order.

PS: stingray wing meat makes great patties if you want to take the time to collect it and mince it.

Flake in fish and chips joints for me - I'll manage the mercury thanks! Stingray wings tasty enough - just call them that not scallops

I agree. If anything, saying "stuff you!" at the suggestion of using the app is typically Australian. :)

The best way to view the app is as a valuable tool that will allow the government to roll back restrictions in a safer manner as it will make the contact tracing faster and more accurate.
And as I have stated on the other thread, I will download it once the majority of the population decide to take it up. But if people are going to make its use into a measure of one's political leaning, I shall return to sitting on the fence happily watching the hordes jostling for position and power and remain appless.

Yep you had the same dentist experience as me except my dentist didn't drill at all. My periodontist also cancelled out - kind of a shame because periodontal work needs to be regular to be effective. I could end up a stereotypical Collingwood supporter if this goes on a long time thanks to the love of some people for killing and eating the most exotic animals they can procure.

specifically the handling of "exotic" animals in extremely unhygienic "wet" markets

Political leaning?
I certainly don’t lean the way of the current government. But I still downloaded the app.
Stop being blinded by politics and do the right thing.

Today I renewed my bromance with the Greek guy who owns the local auto-mechanic

No matter what malfunction occurs, he gets my wheels back on the road at a good price

In return, I utter the loveliest Greek phrase I know:

'You want cash?'
Just out of interest, what are you driving?
 
Just out of interest, what are you driving?

Have an old Lexus RX350

I plan on driving it until it’s a vintage car

Have driven across a few median strips to test its off-road capabilities

The paintwork now has a few scrapes from my kid’s L-plate efforts

I park it on the street in inner Sydney where vandals have separately broken the windscreen, slashed 2 tyres, and stolen part of the roof rack in the past year

It is a solid Japanese job with heated seats but lacking in Steve McQueen machismo

I give it Four Stars

In all my years living in Australia, I still have no idea what being un-Australian means.

I recall when being 'un-Victorian' was a thing, under Kennett. Still trying to get my head around that one.

Fortunately I was out of the country for almost the entirety of Kennett's tenure.

Was working in disability services here when he was in office.

Recall a senior departmental exec proudly defend Kennett for not cutting $1 from the disability sector during his time as premier. But as I pointed out, if you fail to add $1 to an already underfunded sector across 6-7 very high inflation years while trying to grow the sector then you've effectively taken a machete to it. Bracks nearly doubled the spend on disability services in his 1st term and it still didn't fully recover the sector from Kennett.
