Well, who's to say I'm not getting $36 an hour, on a presumed 5 hour day? I could well be working 12 hour days.

Not sure why a salary even bothers with an hourly rate on the payslip when you don't clock on or off.
Yeah I don't understand it's relevance. Thankfully I only have to work 37.5 and no more :)

It's all lifestyle. Some people are content to sit at home after work and on weekends and maybe attend a movie/sports match once a month. They eat the cheapest cuts of meat, happy with 1 ply toilet paper and bu their clothes from Target (which is all fine). Others like eating out a couple of times a week, like a few beers, are members of a sporting team, play golf and buy organic grass fed beef and shop at the farmers market.

I'm not materialistic in the slightest but have other pursuits (both business & social) that take up all my spare cash, at this point in time I can't afford a house/don't want to live where I can afford so that's the sacrifice I make.
3 or 4 ply is where its at, not fish n chip style 1 ply for me

I've actually purchased a few shirts and tank tops from Big W over the past year, they were exactly the same as some Adidas and Nike design shirts from a year or so prior just minus the "brand" logos. They were like $6 each, I had paid $30-$50 for the proper Adidas/Nike versions the previous year.

Drinking spirits with coke is just as good as ginger ale, people that recommend you mix with ginger ale instead of cola are just snobs.
or people with a different taste?
i got sick of drinking so much coke as a post-mix, i now tend to use either pepsi max or dry ginger ale

Nah, how come 90% of enthusiasts will recommend you try it with ginger? Despite the fact coke is the more popular mixer of choice? Definite snobbery. Pepsi Max though? Boy oh boy, how does that go down?
Depends what it is. Ginger Ale tastes like crap with Jack Daniels where as Wild Turkey tastes shit with cola.
I don't disagree, but the point is mixing with cola is a perfectly acceptable way to have a drink, and yes, I can tell the difference in quality of the spirit even when mixed with cola.

Can't say I have ever come across anyone else suggesting I try it with ginger. Different circles etc.
Pepsi Max goes good with scotch, far less sweet than Coke
