  • I guess that would cover the safety gear you have to wear and the guide etc. Understandable, but worth it? Dunno. I'm told the view is amazing.

  • Heh heh, we will blend in with the crowd with no difficulty whatsoever.

  • Photocopiers. Like, we have photocopiers now. They were revolutionary. Don't start me on what life was like before them.

    Hot water services - no more stuffing the 10 gallon chip heater with briquette fragments and wood chips before doing the washing up or taking a bath or washing hair. And stuffing it again if you ran out of hot water.

  • Lyrebird Lounge, 8.30 pm. Just near Ripponlea Station. Will be there too - look for the red fedora.

  • Definitely sucks getting old. My dad had type 2 as well. Diagnosed after multiple heart attacks & strokes. Type 2 can be managed with diet & exercise. It's not the worst.

  • I hate this humidity too - but my plants are loving it. Last autumn I hacked my pot bound ginger lily into 5 pieces and planted each one in separate pots. This morning all 5 have put out new shoots as its finally warm enough and wet enough for it.

  • "bag" is feminine in gender in Deutsch - granted they are talking about 'die Tasche' not 'spammenbag' as above. My personal opinion is 'die spammenbag' would be correct as it encompasses the likely effect as well as the noun. Who says you can't pun in German.

  • Teach him to use the vacuum cleaner ... he'll find something to do real quick.

  • Car seat doesn't fit/badly adjusted. Back issues consequent on that.

  • Prawn cocktail, apricot chicken & green peas please.

  • Came across the phrase 'inclusion navigator' at work - what/who is that? What do they do? Does anyone know? Context was occupation.

  • This reminds me of the ancient joke about Morris Minors - of the 101 things to do in the back seat. Number 47 was 'Grab the steering wheel'.

  • Council elections? I had a lot of trouble getting the envelope open far enough to put the ballot paper in. Ended up sticking a skewer in and waggling it about before putting the ballot paper in. I diagnose crappy quality control of envelope specifications.

  • This was on the front page of wikipedia just now.

  • Stress does it for me every time. I think the adrenaline surge triggers it for me.
