Things that please me - Part 6

We got upgraded from premium economy to business class on a MEL > LA flight back when V Australia was quite new, so we weren't loyal customers or anything. They didn't even tell us we'd been upgraded, they were just profusely apologising that their pyjama supplier hadn't delivered and we...

No way. I reckon Peter could sneak into medal contention with a live performance of King Of The Mountain. Would be up with Cathy Freeman for emotional sports moments in Australian history

Think The Castle cross with Borat.

Bit kinder than Borat tho

It's got a real genuine, nice vibe to it

Really?

A sell out and an abject disappointment to millions who believed in him. He was uniquely placed to make a great impact on Australia - certainly on Tasmania and the pulp mill proposal at the time - and he bent over for the forestry lobby at every single opportunity.

Can't even listen to the Oils now without being reminded at how badly he squibbed every single thing he believed in for some misguided feeling of power. The irony is that every action he took belied the notion that he had any power, he was Rudd Government's greatest boot licking bitch.

Tl;dr - **** him.

Tim Winton's essay in the sleeve notes of 20,000 Watts RSL summed up everything that was great about the Oils as a band. Garrett as a politician left a touch to be desired.

Conan's opening monologue was the only thing worth watching at the Oscars, the rest of it was the usual pretentious garbage.

I wasn't sure if I needed to do a tax return but I thought I'd better check. Took me ages to start the process because the info the ATO had for my 'secret shared data' was out of date. When I finally got in there were three years outstanding. For each year all the details were pre-filled so it took about 20 minutes in total. I'm due a $25 refund. Woo hoo! I thought I might have to pay a fine for late lodgment but that might be just if you owe them money.

When I went to print the summary sheets my printer just made a horrible grinding noise. On investigation I found not one but two USB sticks in the paper feeder. Fished them out and the printer is good as new.

Off on our annual labour day weekend boys trip this Friday. Start off at Dargo on the Friday night and then into the hills for the next 3 days for driving, shooting, and drinking.

Watching a couple of episodes of Dad's Army is like slipping into a warm bath with a smoke and a glass of wine.

They are all brilliant. We just went through the entire series, that Fox showed on the Classics channel.

Sad to think most of them are no longer with us

Possibly belonging in the pointless trivia thread, Benedict Cumberbatch's old man is the few survivors from that show.

For some reason my work email is linked to another (work) email account that I don't need access to.

I noticed that 'Inbox' was not at its usual place at the top of the list and someone had put it in alphabetical order.

So I moved 'Inbox' back to its rightful place at the top.

A few hours later I noticed it was back in the middle again. So I moved it back to the top.

The other day I didn't put it back to the top, but in a different order just to see if whoever it notices. Sure enough the did and put it back in order.

This has been going on for about 2 months now.

I think at the staff christmas party I'll go around to everyone trying to figure out who it is.

Over the past 3 weeks I've decided to deleted most social media apps except Big Footy and YouTube.
Just the ones that I feel were affecting my mental health like Reddit Facebook. Tiktok I removed about 5 months ago and Instra Twitter I've never got into. Basically anything that has a algorithm style platform has gone.
I deleted.

Now this isn't a post about tooting my own horn blah blah blah I'm so good In deleting social media.
More so it's mental health based and for me those video reel platforms were for me extremely toxic and was giving me horrible outlook in life making me become frustrated and depressed. Mostly because it's full of controversy which is what most video makers on there aim for.

I've been on this I guess you can call it a detox of reel based platforms and it's
been a huge difference in my mood. It's early days but so far so good.
I highly recommend cutting those reel platforms if you feeling likewise that your mental health is suffering due to them.

Just bigfooty and YouTube only for me these days

I have Big Footy and Facebook. Am very happy with my choices and couldn't be less interested in any other sites.

Many years ago our faculty head would do that a couple times a month every Friday.

Yeah nah they put a stop to that a while ago
