They had family members who were North fans!

Hazelnuts have no place in supposed "luxury" nut mixes. No-one denies this.

This seems the place for a very random question - does anyone know a reliable parking place on the West Melbourne side of Docklands that is open at night? We’ve got a dinner near there and all the usual parking stations I’d use are a bit far away.

is the Wilson Parking on Spencer Street close enough to where you'll be eating?

Wound up parking in Little Bourke St and walking - the parking stations I thought I remembered around West Melbourne seem to be either closed or not open in the evening. Thanks anyway.

What inspires " morons " to climb every street / shop awning at all hours of the night to " tag " every 2nd storey along Smith, High st. & Plenty rd in Fitz, Coll, Northcote, Thornbury, Preston ?

Might as well just kok your leg against a tree at the local park. Sheer ugliness. Makes a once attractive city look like Detroit or L.A.
Such a shame.

According to the trains apparently someone’s been hit at Clifton hill

Looks pretty cramped in that Vulcan cockpit.

I always wondered why you were so into planes Timmy. Was your dad flying the Warthog?

I went to primary school (lelmentary or grade school in the US) with a guy whose dad flew Lancasters in WW2, including the time they bombed Dresden with firebombs. He told me about and going back there years later and meeting a local who survived the bombing at some memorial for the attack. Said they weren't bitter or angry at all but friendly polite and had moved on.

 

[The acurate one]

It is with great sadness that I inform you lot that I have resigned from my current role, which basically in a nutshell was to post on BF 5-6 hours per day. Just random shite mostly.

I sit here misty-eyed in the knowledge that I was paid around 60 bucks ph to do SFA!

Here I am carrying on and yes it is just after 5pm (that's what the timesheet will say, when I leave in a minute and that is what counts) but I'm still at my desk, in my office by myself holding the fort.

I've taken an awesome Business Development Manager role for a teir1 maintenance firm. Well paid and bloody heck. Farken deserve this imo

Lunches will be on TAO, they're good for it lol

i have heard a story from someone i volunteer with that said when he was in Japan on a business trip, the person he was doing business with showed him a picture of his grandchild, and said, they are alive because you drop the bomb and thus ended the war, since the person was going to have to fight the Americans if we had to invade.

Fascinating article from a while ago, but the longer time marches on WITHOUT the events described in the article happening, the more pertinent and urgent it gets:

The Earthquake That Will Devastate the Pacific Northwest

When the Cascadia fault line ruptures, it could be North America’s worst natural disaster in recorded history.

www.newyorker.com

When the 2011 earthquake and tsunami struck Tohoku, Japan, Chris Goldfinger was two hundred miles away, in the city of Kashiwa, at an international meeting on seismology. As the shaking started, everyone in the room began to laugh. Earthquakes are common in Japan—that one was the third of the week—and the participants were, after all, at a seismology conference. Then everyone in the room checked the time.

The vocals are recorded over the backing track played backwards?
