During the first month or so I did try to rationalise it: Knox (Boronia) has a glut of blocks building 5 or more two bedroom, 1 garage townhouses, and most have no outdoor space (it got used by the obligatory water tank and shed/box.)

With no backyard to mow, they didn’t have or need a green waste bin, but this year they’ve had to take one, and there’s nowhere to put it. To make things worse, the waste bin is now a fortnightly pickup, and anyone with a pet now has two weeks of ripeness instead of one.

Since Knox went to the green-blue-yellow bin rotation (rubbish and recycling fortnightly, green waste weekly), the idiots over the road either don’t care or don’t understand and just put all their bins out every week and add to the uncollected bin there. This makes the uncollected bins more and more overflowing, and the crows very pleased. They currently have a bin each to themselves until Tuesday morning, with food options not unlike the old Smorgies buffet restaurant.

That said, if interest rates go much higher, I might be fighting them for the leftovers.

Big box computer games, with manuals and maps and those game brochures showing you all the other Ocean software products.

Managed to go into this without any-trailers/spoilers/etc. Hated the "Children in Need"-esque intro, it felt like the ye-olde cartoon before the movie starts.

I can understand concerns about this being the second of only three Tennant/Tate episodes, that it's the anniversary and we want big celebrations and megabucks worth of explosions and monsters and all that. Instead, we get a full episode with the two stars and their talent, no distractions or crawling through attics. PS. Sylvia and Wilf still - and always will - be awesome.

This was like RDT's and Moffat's lovechild, like Midnight and Event Horizon and Alien. Confidently slow-paced with great writing and time for running around, and still having time for a proper ending rather than a magical macguffin arse-pull.

Properly loved it.

As someone else wrote somewhere... RTD's back, which means the carnival's back in town. Lots of running about, flashing lights, loud music, a stunt show with exploding things and people shooting at each other, and comedy hi jinks.

I liked the small things - the time vortex having open areas with multiple paths from 13, the helping/oh-shit-nope-not-helping with the stacking, the psychic paper not keeping up, 'she's fine/she's not fine/been fine', Sylvia's "YOU!", Donna's 'WHAT THE HELL!', the 'you can't know your future conversation' up until they mentioned (again) that Donna dies if she remembers. Didn't mind the parademons, like the idea of the Sonic having a UI (but hated the shields), loved The Meep even after they got sidelined for the big ending. Console room was kinda meh still, big and bland atm.

We bought a Tiger rice cooker and has been flawless for years.
