Ocean sunsets>>>>>>>>Ocean sunrises.

Yep and sunrise over land >>>>>>>>>>>>>>sunset over land

If you're in St Kilda or anywhere bayside in Melbourne, the sun sets over the water (not ocean, bay) and rises over the land,

Melbourne beaches.

I don't believe I mentioned the beaches.

I was at a mate's place watching the superbowl which was a totally one-sided affair. There was only four minutes to go and I had a long drive ahead of me, so I left thinking the game was done and dusted.

Not an NFL fan? With 4 minutes to go and Brady in the game, that was wide open!

 

[Doss]

Tolls and pokies the eastern states can keep - if that makes us behind them all good as far as I'm concerned

Oh and lockouts. Sydney can keep those too

WA has no pokies at all?

That's a great thing.

Pokies are so s**t boring

I could easily lose my fortune on Roulette but at least I can see I'm not being done over by a ******* computer

 

[Doss]

Pokies are the worst.

The pokification of suburban and country pubs here pisses me off something shocking. Apart from the obviously ruinous social effects, they completely destroy the feel of the pubs too.

Crown casino has some but that's it, they're nowhere else

Hey MEB_

You might know, are employers supposed to pay tolls? I use $60 if I work in Mango Hill for a week, and only get $97 for fuel and it's a 220km round trip every day.

No. You can deduct them only if it's from workplace to workplace, not to and from home.

 

[RU_]

Oh it's from workplace to workplace. I pick the gear up and then go.

Yah you can claim that as a tax deduction but your employer does not have to reimburse you for it.

Adelaide used to have a thriving live music scene where you could just pop into any pub and see a local gig. Then the pokies came along and turned all of the band rooms into ones filled with those things and now the live music scene is just about non-existent in most pubs.

The systems ****ed.

Two tanks of fuel and $60 worth of tolls in a week on apprentice wages, while trying to survive, woo.

 

[Doss]

We still don't have an e-tag for Melbourne's toll roads. We just don't use them enough to justify it. Admittedly having to hold off until Toorak Road to enter the Monash the other day was slightly annoying, but meh.

 

[Allikat]

I'd die without my toll roads! I live too far into the north/western suburbs that taking non-toll roads makes the trip too much longer.

 

[Reginald Perrin]

The systems stuffed.

If you posted match sims quicker you could get a second job.

After 10 years Ive had to retire my old mobile number. Now I have to tell everyone and update a million things

After 10 years Ive had to retire my old mobile number. Now I have to tell everyone and update a million things

Why?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why?

New plan

 

[Starburns_]

New plan

They can't transfer your number? That seems really odd.

 

[Marklar_33]

Yeah that's bullshit in this day and age

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

No idea why. Eather way i got free stuff.
It is an old number from when it was prepaid.

That shouldn't make a difference. Should've at least pushed for it and found out their reasoning.

It's Telstra. They do tend to to thier own thing.

Had to get a new sim to go with a new phone a few years back, no problem transferring my 12 year old at the time number.
