So, I've not really a neighbour, but a neighbour a little bit down that has a mobility device, long story short she was friends with the father and thus randomly still drives around here for "help". Thing being she has a son that lives with her, and help that comes twice a week to assist in things, so does my head in when she asks me for it.

Anyway... she popped around when I am clearly at work, headset and 4 screens in front of me, chatting to someone only to furiously pound on the door. Ok slightly angry but fine, what if it's an emergency who knows, only to hand me a folded letter and a brief "have a read of this and I'll need help later" then waddled back to her mobility device and drove off.

In reading that note, well first off, she scribbled names and replaced them with me on a printed doc that was only written in word and then printed. Secondly, it was a straight whinge, which is how I knew she had help coming twice a week as we have shared that many words with me very obviously in the "what do you want now?" instance without saying as much. In it, she calls said son useless and how he gets oh so excited for his customers to visit their house only to continue to then be useless. Quite riveting, she should write a book and give to someone that gives a crap instead of me. Anywho...

Turns out she's 76, why I needed to know this, I have NFI, sicne that's an actual neighbour, big oof, and I guess I dunno, the impetus I got from the entire thing was; since I am quite obviously from the things falling apart outside, dealing with shit, where I have told other actual neighbours we speak with "yeah lawyers are dragging their feet as they do and not much I can do but bitch them out" apparently means I have time to help her stupid arse? Or patience?

So instead I just scanned the doc, sent it to the sis I actually speak with with the text "if only she had a clue to recognise IDGAF. Can't wait until I get a new gate."

Followed up with "so Bunnings for chain and HD lock so gate can close, might add more if she needs more hints." So ideas be forming.

Posting this for more ideas as I am now thinking about food.

Am i stupid? I just put $50 on McYabbie to go top three in the Brownlow.

If he now has a serious injury its my fault.

I have been tempted to do the same myself

Can't find a TAB terminal though. The ones at the G next to the bunton have been given the arse

I'm not a huge stand up fan, I like a few people but most falls flat with me. This joke has lived rent free in my head since I heard it. I love it.

James is a very funny guy, this joke is elite.

My Daughter works at the Cove Hotel , Pattison lakes. Apparently she is their TAB guru. THey have all sorts of weird systems and archaic computers, and she's the only one who can fly it.

So i placed my bet by texting, " Hey if i gave you the money could you put a Bet on Jack Mackrae to go top 3 in the Browlow"
I got a text back saying " There is no such player, oh you spelt it wrong , Done if you win you get $2000"

It's worse now. Any terminal outside the view of staff is voucher only.

If ya can't handle the sausage bro, stay away from the sizzle.

Nah I just walked past it on the way in to look for said chain and lock for what 10mins decisions making then walked out past it again to get to the car all "maybe I drive thru? Naaaah.", so BLT'd it before chain went on gate as that involved clearing some vine things around said gate.

Related, did get poked a couple times by pointy leaves and branches, thankful it wasn't the rusted to crap metal on said gate as no glove is stopping that. PPE all the way. Only stopped as the bees were getting a bit testy and they outnumbered me.

I feel like I've smoked salvia and tried to read a hardware catalogue.

Had to google this, still confused, can you ask a friend to explain it to me?

America seems like 24/7 Saturday Night Live skits at this point.

 

[StFly]

What I liked about this was;
Ate in a mess hall.
No Greenlanders CBF meeting any of them.
3 day event plan ended in 3 hours.
JD - "I know what I'll do, cut a hooh rah promo..."

America seems like 24/7 Saturday Night Live skits at this point.

If only it was, but frankly that glass is shattering and we're all lucky to be alive to see both the USA and Russia start capitulating.

I'm more interested in "that" clock, as moved from 90 seconds to 89 seconds in January this year. Iran and NK actually enrich, USA pulls further back and instead of Medvedrunk waxing lyrical we have more IRBM instances to push an ICBM narrative well, only goes further towards midnight and we've front row seats...

I'd rather see a stable world without chaotic leaders funded by death cult nut jobs with their fingers on the nuclear football.

Got some cool gigs coming up. Gary Clark Jr in a few weeks. Tommy Emmanuel in May. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic (or some variation of) in Sept.

Even his tarrifs are turning into a prize turd by the way they administer it.

Is there any steel in your gizmatron.
Yes there is 25c worth of steel in the form of two screws, probably not from USA , so we'll wear the tariff on the 25c.
Not good enough sunshine, we need to know exactly which countries the steel for the screws were smelted from.

So whole world jumping through hoops.

There sure as hell will be companies saying....."You want spare parts for you prestige german automobile....**** it, too hard ".

Fmd, these goddamn cute and realistic bunny robots are taking the f#¢k over.

Put rather bluntly, Russia and USE form the nuke deterrence, this is why Trumps machinations are causing that sort of discussion as they trend to unreliable partners. All that being said, no one is launching a nuke for a couple diff reasons;

Russia - they want to conquer, reduce things to rubble to rebuild and gain land essentially, last thing they want is "I'll come back here in maybe 200 years when it's less irradiated".

USA - they are for all intents and purposes still strongest military globally, so conventionally they can F someone up without reducing to nuke usage.

China - They're going the economic route as Russia is the big bully to smokescreen them in to do as they please. They're just not going to go "LOO0KIT MOI NOW" and nuke someone.

India - are essentially Turkiye, only with nukes and wanting to be in both worlds, so it's no from me.

So essentially no one is nuking anyone and we just get a ramp up in co9nventional with Russia as belligerent being "this is so an IRBM, please don't bend me over, kthx" like previously. Only there are reports that Engels strike, Russia was stupid enough to potentially have some radiated instances there that also started leaking. Unconfirmed at present but some socials are reporting it.

So we're fine, just not great on that front.

Its a fraud.
In reality they ain't that cute or realistic.
Someone buys a $2.00 bunny, makes a deceptive add and sells them for $40.00

There are calls to breathalyze passengers on flights after someone tried to open the door on the way back from Bali.

WTF!!!
Forget Bali, how are you meant to get anywhere long haul without getting maggetted? Trying to do it sober would drive me insane.
WTF are you meant to do in the flight lounge while you wait 5 hours for your connection.

I've been in a plane stuck for hours in the heat ( engines switched off ) on the tarmac at Sydney.... I would have totally lost my shit if the attendants weren't plying me with Champagne... no shit, my glass was refilled pretty much as soon as it emptied, and it was emptying fast.

Sure go ahead and breathalyze me , but only to see if i've broken the record.
