Speak to the most reliable friends (the ones that will definitely show up) and maybe oragnise a group pub thing. Send a larger invite so more could show up, but if they don’t at least it’s not that awkward with others around, maybe?

Just spitballing here

Looks lovely from the office window.

Pity I can’t soak it up until lunchtime

It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.

Did he notice? Absolutely not.

Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.

Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.

My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.

Those are like an appetizer before the family bucket for me.

It’s like a 2 minute warm up and stretch before starting proper exercise

I wish I could be satisfied with that offering though

I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.

Glad kitty is okay. Ours had a bit of vomiting episode Saturday…came home to a bit of a mess. I’m assuming she chewed on her blanket and couldn’t digest it.

Nemo - Broke the Code, Joost - Europapa and Baby Lasagna - Rim Tim Tagi Dim have all moved into the global daily top 50.

Those are definitely words

First 40 minutes of work today really soured my tone for the week. Had a chat with my boss and he felt the same.

Reason - we have some team members who are getting a bit too big for their britches, and causing a bit of friction. One particular person cannot stop themselves from interrupting others when talking. Happens daily, they have been reprimanded and it still happens. I think we’re getting close to an HR chat or a director telling them to pull their heads in.

They have been reminded not to do it numerous times. Falls on deaf (or just stupid) ears. I have muted them on virtual meetings and will continue to do so

Went out for dinner tonight, Korean BBQ. On our way out my kids helped out a server who was carrying too many things, when I was paying the tab.

The owner/manager told me I had a beautiful family and that my kids were super polite.

I nearly broke down crying.

After trying a bunch of local gyms, ended up signing up for the council one. Equipment gets fixed quickly. Staff always on hand. Very clean and modern. No dickheads and show offs.

Even had a staff member tell some ‘influencer’ that recording is not allowed without the consent of everyone else around.

Boooo!!!

I wish I could second this recommendation. My experience at that restaurant was pretty average. The food was unique, but very meh.

Well done Darren

Someone fucked around and found out. It’s a tragedy, but completely avoidable by not travelling to areas known for violent cartel activity.

Too ‘on the nose’. Gotta be subtle and shit

Skimming through your comment history…and yikes.

You’ll be better off in the long run.

I always look at these portable gadgets that have a very specific use and always think “This is so cool”

Eventually I realise it’s just clutter that won’t ever be as good a proper blender, and will end up the ‘all sorts’ kitchen cupboard.

Do they have Star Wars comics?

Got two old wisdom teeth removed this morning (not impacted, just decayed).

Total time spent in dental chair…28 minutes.

5 minute chat explaining what’s what

20 minutes of injecting local anaesthetic and waiting for it to kick in

3 minutes of the smoothest tooth extraction I’ve ever had.

Now the suffering begins

MeanElevator, 15 days ago

Mine have been out for over 20 years and were just regular teeth. No deep surgery was required thankfully.

My missus had hers out about 15 years and the had the same experience as you.

Ah yeah, the indian joint is okay, but definitely not the best curry place in the court. For dumplings it’s hard to beat ShanDong Mama, but you need to go with a group. Getting one plate there isn’t worth it.

Honestly try the Lankan joint next time if you can. The devilled chicken/fish are soooo good. Kottu rice as well.
