Well shit. I just called to make a doctors appointment only to be told that the doc I've seen for the last 13 years has retired. Feels like a relationship break-up in some ways, he knew everything about my ailments and mental health, he was easy to talk to. Now I have to start all over again with a stranger :(
Yeah beer prices are ridiculous now. I reckon the so-called micro-breweries (they're not, it's just marketing) have given the big breweries an excuse to jack up the cost of even a basic pint.
Oh wow, are there variable prices?
A begrudging credit to EastLink tho, at least their tollway is smooth sailing and not the clusterfuck that is the M11 Pen Link, which I spend a lot of time on
Got slugged for a $7.90 EastLink toll this afternoon because, unlike my journey to the destination, I forgot to specify 'no tolls' on Google maps on the journey home. Lesson learned. Got me thinking about getting a tag thingy though.
That Extreme Ironing thing that @Seagoon_@aussie.zone mentioned was cool, typical of a Brit eccentric to invent it!
Got me thinking though - I don't think I've ironed anything since the covid restrictions and lockdowns kicked in? I used to iron everything, I wouldn't leave the house in anything wrinkled and I did this for decades. Now I just don't care unless it's a smart function, it's been liberating.
Not OP but there have definitely been some days where the wind chill factor has made it feel less than mild, but I agree with you it hasn't been too bad overall, we haven't fitted the electric blanket this year, and there's still people walking about in shorts, thongs, and eating ice cream in Mordi lol
Well well....looks like our credit card has been compromised in the last week. Quite a few transactions for Uber (our Uber account is paid from the joint a/c. not the CC) and a $150 FoodHub order (neither of us have that app). Good on the bank for being available on a Sunday morning to deal with it and arrange new cards. They will investigate, but said that this is happening so often that it could take many weeks to get to the bottom of it. Stay vigilant folks, check your statements frequently.
Quite a few in agreement with you according to this review site (not sure why it's in the cider category?). I tried the Rivet lager before and was disappointed.
Victoria didn't win the right so much, more that it stepped up when other countries (and states) didn't. Durban in South Africa was supposed to host the 2022 games, but got stripped of the rights, so Birmingham UK hosted instead, but they were supposed to be hosting 2026, so a replacement had to be found urgently. The budgeted $2.5bn represented a good way to get infrastructure into the regions, but Andrews is right to say $6bn is just too high a price for what is now a relatively niche event. Oh, and that original costing was prepared by those geniuses at PwC.
I love this stuff. 'Multiple discoveries' are a thing throughout history, like American Thomas Edison being credited with the lightbulb, but British scientist Joseph Swan came up with the same thing at the same time, completely independently, and both were patented in 1879.
