got back from camping on the weekend and had an amazing time. I've gotta say guys, tidal river is just the best. Its camping lite. You have hot showers, you can go grab a coffee and a bacon and egg roll in the morning, there is Drinkable water. If you have never been camping you should consider giving it a go. Heck, reach out to me and I can recommend all the gear you need for under 100 bucks. the amount of folks rocking a Kmart tent was pretty nuts. And you'll come back feeling so recharged you'll wonder why you didnt do it sooner.

Someone's brought a cat in a stroller on the tram and everyone on the nearby seats is awwwing at it. A nice scene after seeing the ol' AOs interrogate and fine a clueless looking Asian guy while letting a ratty looking white couple go with just a talking-to

[-] Cendana@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

So AOs are also racist.

I bowed out at about 12:30 where we lost 3 or 4 wickets by the 7th over and thought we were gone.

Happy to see we got the chocolates at the end!

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

I stayed and watched the whole thing. Very tired today.

Willowton Free Range Chicken (available from Aldi) consistently outperforms all other chicken brands I've tried which are frequently tough and chewy.

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago

Bugger.

Seems like someone has found my secret spare house key location and it's gone :(

Been having a few tradies recently and the only way you could see the key would be if you were up high.. and tradies were up on scaffolding above where it was.

I'm not accusing anyone but now means my policy is potentially void and I need to change locks.

This is on top of waking up the other week to find all the flyscreens taken off out the back in an attempted break in.

Fuck those people.

Sitting on the train, on the way to work
In a bit of pain, my stomach kinda hurts
I drank too much and now I'm dying
If I say I'm fine, I'm only lying

Miss Meow is in full snuggle & purr miode. I think it's a deliberate ploy to keep me from walking Mr Woof.

Edit: she's gone off for second breakfast now, Walkies is go!

Snuggles would be nice. Iโ€™ve got an all pointy bits deployed foot hunter.

Optus CEO fell on her sword. Or was pushed, either way its the first smart move optus has made in this whole saga.

[-] bananafungus@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

I imagine she's off to some "silent" position somewhere that pays her just as much.

I just unfollowed every account I've followed on instagram. Not following any accounts. Don't know why I did it, but I did. Today has been weird.

Also a couple of days ago, I spoke to bar guy about the playlist thing and he said that lyrics are the last thing that he listens to. He eventually figured out that I was trying to convey something through the lyrics and he told me he loved me for the first time. That was cute.

I also found out that I was known as jukebox girl at the beginning by a couple of his friends because he didn't wanna say my name.

God damn it why can't people call me by my full name. Why do they shorten it without asking me and despite me telling them to call me by my name?

It's not a white person name so for example, say my name was Taylor, they call me 'Tayl'. It really drives me up the wall. Its not even a hard name to say!!!

[-] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

I agree it's annoying fulwank

[-] just_kitten@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Isnt it just, Botto?...

wait... does that mean you're actually...

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Same but Iโ€™m glad I included my English name in official documents so it helps if I am interacting with real people (Ba Con Mash, Mash being my English name). Still banks and companies etc. say Dear Ba,

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Funny. I HATE it. I introduce myself as Tom instead of Thomas (example, obviously). the amount of people who call me Thomas is nuts even after being told it's Tom. Its like "No, I told you my name. show me the respect of using it." I immediately assume you're being condescending otherwise.

I'm sorry but coffee does not taste like chocolate, plum or any other bullshit descriptor.

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Agreed. Fruity coffee sucks. Gimme that bitter Caffeine dammit

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Every time i see fruity it just means it is sour. I want bitterness dark as my soul.

It sounds like a lot of whipper snipping going on next door. Fingers crossed the blackberries are being cleared out.

Edit: sadly the blackberries are still there. Most of the other overgrown stuff is chopped, but the blackberries remain. Regular border patrols for encroaching canes will need to continue.

Prequel edit: I accidentally travelled back in time and origionally posted this comment on yesterdays thread.

[-] 6368_39162@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

That ham was not still ok.

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Oh dear. How did you find out that the ham was dodgy?

hmmm. anyone have legit tried and true yellowing bedding tricks? His lordship has been an oily oily boy on his pillow protectors.

Already given them the ol' oxy soak

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This is what bluebag was invented for. Find an IGA (not sure if colesworth stock them) and look in the laundry aisle for 'laundry blue' - usually a bag or a block. Might be in the cleaning aisle. You wash item, and add the required amount of blueing to the rinse water. Dry as normal. It's an optical illusion, but makes the yellow tinge disappear. Might be worth considering if napisan or lookalike doesn't work.
Imo this is the only way to get whiter than whites without nasty chemicals.

As a film/TV buff in Australia, I will never not be jealous of how the UK/US/Europe get all these cool creative talks/discussions with casts and crews for things. I know I can watch most of them on YT now, but I feel like you miss so much of the "vibe" not being there. When I've been to ones here, there's sort of this buzz of curiosity in the room that sometimes has you leaning forward.

Whilst hold music can be annoying, it is vastly preferable to "helpful messages" on loop.

Edit: still on hold. Aaaarrrrggghhh

[-] baconmash@aussie.zone 9 points 11 months ago

DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 11 months ago

And download an app! It makes it all so easy!! WOW!

We just won't mention that the website is completely broken, as is the entire company, and there is a very good chance this call will never actually get answered at all.

Eleven more minutes and I have made it to my self-imposed hour on hold limit so I can tick off "yes, I tried to contact the company" on the complaint form to the Ombudsman.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Dammit, they answered at 59 minutes. Now I'm on hold again while she "talks to her team leader".

Oh, off hold now - she couldn't get through to her team leader. ๐Ÿคฃ
