Ah gotcha. There was a guy next to me on the plane yesterday and he was writing in bright yellow text on a black background, I guess it gave the impression of being backlit. No idea what the tablet was and he seemed busy so I didn't want to disturb him to ask.
Yeah, makes sense. They're not very popular in Australia anymore (use way more water) so I haven't used a top loader since the 90s. The old ones used to just slow down to a stop once you opened the lid, but they literally didn't have a lock on the lid.
Good point. During lockdown in Australia, everyone went absolutely nuts buying bikes. While I don't watch free to air tv, even Foxtel shows ads, and there's obviously all the advertising online you're exposed to - and I don't recall seeing any actual advertising for bikes. Weird.
I miss low rise jeans, but I'd be a tray of muffin tops these days. That being said, when I was in my teens and early 20s they may have fit me perfectly around the front with my flat stomach and narrow hips but my big kaboose (that was not in fashion back then) really struggled to stay in! Avoiding plumber's crack was a daily struggle. They were made for a very specific body type.
The headrest isn't really there for your comfort, it's to prevent you becoming a PEZ dispenser in the event of a collision. You really should put it back. I'm 5' zip, every seat I sit in is uncomfortable, but that's not the priority here.
There's no way of avoiding it. Regular weed smokers think they don't stink of it when they do, so you're not going to get helpful advice from the smoking community. Smoke outside to avoid a lingering smell in your home. But your hair, skin, clothes (and breath if you're slack on oral hygiene like most smokers) will still smell of weed. Stick to edibles if you don't want to smell like a teenager.
Sticking to popular, mainstream rock and pop options I'd say Bernard Fanning/Powderfinger is a good representation of Australian rock that doesn't really polarise as much as the more cultural cringe options like Darryl Braithwaite, John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes. There's also Kylie Minogue who might not be everyone's cup of tea, but is unlikely to be actively disliked by most.
Thank you, this is really helpful
