I tried those chicken carbonarra bite ball things and the potato kieve bite balls from Coles tonight.... Potato Kiev was kinda crappy, but the carbonarra bites were quite good! Not as many as I would've thought, it's a bloody big box and they could fit at least a dozen, probably closer to 2 dozen in there, but they only put 8

'I mean,' she said, 'that one can't help growing older.'

'One can't, perhaps,' said Humpty Dumpty; 'but two can. With proper assistance, you might have left off at seven.'

I tried getting the octopus Bacon helpfully provided to do my TAFE assignment for me, but it has refused (I think it's in the spare room right now trying to open a jar of peanut butter instead).

I sat down to do it myself and realised I really don't want to do it either. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it's all just far too tedius. So I've withdrawn from the units I was in, and will probably withdraw from the course all together. Now I can just do the interesting uni stuff and will have some more free time.

That ended up being very decent salt and pepper (and chilli) squid at Anh Anh kew. I really rate that place :)

The NatWest / Coutts / Farrage affair is going to be an interesting case study in dealing with trolls.

If the CEO of NatWest simply said No Comment, and let their dealings descend into to GB News dribble, she would still be in her job.

Instead she tried to defend her company, and broke privacy laws in the process, by saying Farrage dropped below their deposit threshold for having an account there. It's kind of like those people that leak military secrets to win a world of tanks forum battle.

Does anyone want to go to Brunswick Artist's Bar tomorrow night for NIGHT OF POWER II?

DJ Thin Lindsay will be doing power ballads all night, entry is free.

I was planning porridge for breakfast, but then

this happened.

Thanks for the inspiration @[email protected]
