Melbourne

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

We won. Australia won The Cricket World Cup 2023. 🏆🎉💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛🇦🇺

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.

Argh, black friday sales, can't resist!

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

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!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

That ham was not still ok.

Just scootered by that Karizma restaurant on New Quay which is owned by some underworld boss and has been torched twice in 3 days. Cop van was there and a camera crew, taped off as shown in the photo in the article about it.

Underbelly: Docklands.. coming soon on 9.

OK guys, put on your maths brains as mine is going 😵

I watched the movie 21 yesterday and one of the opening scenes is a seemingly simple probability question.

"It's a game show and there are 3 doors. Behind 2 of the doors are goats, behind 1 is a car. A lecturer acting as a game show host asks a student to choose from 3 doors. They choose door number 1. The host opens door 3 , reveals a goat, then asks the contestant if they want to keep door 1 as their choice. The student , acting as contestant says he will go with door 2 as his odds just went from 33% to 66%.

Here's where my brain went 😵.

Aren't the choosing of doors two separate events? And don't the odds go from 33% to 50%? How is it 66%?
