what are the six geese laying?
Each other. Hopefully alive.
Hang on, that’s ducks. Ignore me.
Aren't they laying five gold rings? I'm not sure if that is each or a combined total each day. Presumably they are a breed related to that of the goose that lays the golden egg.
There are six of them but just five golden rings? One of them must be shirking.
I don't know about geese, but it is definitely normally the way with chickens. They lay their eggs progressively later during the day until they skip a day, then start again in the morning. So five rings from six geese sounds about right.

Roll'd on Southern Cross Lane near my work is on FIYAHH
so THATS how they get the crispy pork belly!
Just a bit of burnt toast, she'll be right.
Has anyone moved from Telstra Mobile to Aldi? Aldi uses the Telstra network, but I've read it's only their old equipment. Is the service acceptable?
I'm about to get the kid a phone for Christmas, and look like finally merging our phone service onto a family plan. The Aldi family plan with four sims is actually cheaper than what my wife and I are presently paying for Telstra/Optus. We've never merged our phone plans.
I'm tempted to get him the most basic Aldi plan. Hoping to teach him the importance of budgetting data - but even their $19 plan comes with 10 GB. I was getting by with 2 GB less than a decade ago.
Before I do anything drastic, will I regret this move?
Monitoring and managing a monthly data allowance might let the kid develop responsibility in their life. If they manage it well, maybe they can be trusted with more things? I gave my dad a 40gb sim and he watched youtube for two days on high rez then complained that the internet had stopped.

Car has been dropped at the mechanic, now to chill (aka freak out because what IF something is magically wrong with it) for a few hours since old mate reckons it'll be done by 12pm.
what car have you got?
Mitsubishi Pajero NT 09 (diesel). She's as clean as a whistle (apart from needing a suspension upgrade), just put her in for a once-over before the big holiday driving starts. Usually, I do something like this myself, but my calendar is a little full at the moment, and to be honest, I felt like being lazy.
