I gotta head into Richmond in a couple hours to get the car, then drive to the corner of the city near the Royal Melbourne to pick everyone up around 4pm, then hightail it out to the 'Rat.
Google Maps keeps directing me to the hellish Westgate and the inevitable shitshow with the newly flipped m80 intersection. Would it not be easier to take Ballarat Rd, or even Dynon Rd -> Princes Hwy? ๐ค
At that time of day Iโd definitely avoid the Westgate. I reckon the other options are better choices

Tinned fish/preserved seafood enjoyers of this thread, what's your favourite place (not colesworth) to get the goods?
Editing this just to elaborate on my request. I'm mostly looking for fancy stuff like Ortiz, Jose Gourmet, Little Tin Co.
Ok I had to post this here after seeing it on the other site. For anyone who has wondered how they do the VFX for live sports broadcasts - ads on the field that seem to follow the camera around perfectly, on-screen graphics following players around, calculation of ball trajectories - this is a fantastic 11 minute video. You gotta check it out, I don't even care for sports and was mesmerised!

Tech is wild though. I cannot believe they managed to render an entire NHL game into Toy Story settings/characters - including the freaking commentators - LIVE, with only TWENTY seconds delay from the live broadcast.
Knock off oโclock. I made it
Ugh, so glad itโs day off dayโฆ Iโve been slightly crook 1.5 days, had a wee bit of work drama one day, caught an Uber that smelt like upchuck the other day (man, the standards are non-existent these days), and what should have been an easy bike service with a few blingy bits has turned into a debacle of issues that makes it sound like Iโve been riding it til the wheels fall off.
Yep, definitely pours.
Heading into the office because I'm meeting Microsoft at 12. Anybody got anything they want me to tell Microsoft?
Meeting over. Tea topped up. Back to work!
