Maple trees. The natural enemy of ground cover grevilleas (in autumn).

Salt reduced, sugar free, caffeine free .... f@ck 'em off to their own shopping aisle. I hate coming home and realising I've just bought some inferior product by accident. Infact, they should have their own shop - A Bland Life! What else is there?? Plant based meat .... far cough, dairy free ice cream .... nah mate. Flavour free glomp.

Some dairy free ice cream is really nice. Better than normal ice cream. Costs three times the price tho.

There was a time (and occasionally still is) where drinking a bit much was the cause of my next days discomforts.

No longer mainstream. Same as when the cricket went to channel 7 and Amazon. People occasionally check the score but nobody is watching.

also older audience equals less events deemed interesting. hence my last post was the result of eating some hot food.....

Wat a scam is Telstra Pre concert tickets.

Wat a scam is Telstra Pre concert tickets.

I remember the days when getting in early for tickets meant you got the best seats, front row etc. Nowadays they sell the shit ones, back rows etc first under the guise of 'pre-sales'. Happens in all big events now especially World Cups and Euro's.

Absolutely this

11,000 in line ahead of me and then they dropped off in the hundreds over the next 20 minutes when you get in and see Restricted view

Had a look again tonight and it’s even more blatant


When’s the General Sales start?

Tuesday 3pm

Oh it’s Ed Sheeran fwiw

The product manager on $220k or so might publicly disagree...










...although s/he would privately feel quite satisfied seeing your comment, knowing that they have done a good job again this year maximising revenue, especially as they would be up for their performance review about now I'd say.

I miss going to the footy and having the whole joint opened up. I have no love of listening to buffoons of all ages crap on about whatever it is, I want to go and watch the footy in solitude infused peace. Crammed in with no spare air in which to fart, people moving and standing and just farking whatever ....

Pommie friends staying with us. They are great folk but the buggers keep leaving the shower diverted to the handpiece....

Can you change the plumbing temporarily?

Can you change the plumbing temporarily?

I can easily just change the diverter back but the point is i forget to check it till a blast of cold water hits me rather than going to the floor whist oan standing aside.

[koshari]

Yep. Thought at 1st a truck had gone by doing about 120 … was a loud boom and the windows rattled, but I live in a court, so not too many episodes of BJ and the Bear near my place. Kinda thunk it was a quake, noticed the time and went back to sleep for another 20 minutes

So the earth did move for you last night then.
