I'm always banging on about Thank God You're Here. They recently posted the best clip of the last 2 seasons on youtube, well worth a watch. I think the season finale is tonight.

I maintain that they picked the wrong Hoodoo Gurus song - should have been What's My Scene

And another thing I've been wondering lately.....

What a song! Your right, of course.

Alrighty. One more sleep to the gig!

Now the excitement is building up 🎶🎸

Jesus christ it's fucking hot on this train. Sweating buckets. Poor dude near me looks like he thinks I'm a biohazard

Edit: bought a spare set of strings just in case. I'm glad I have a couple of hours after work to just chill out beforehand.

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.

I hate it as well. Hope it doesn’t get trapped inside.

Makes me feel yucky.

So I tried Five Guys last night

Fries = legit, still had a really nice texture even after a journey in the front of my scooter in the rain. Massive serving. There’s a station at the back of the ordering line where you can fill your own tubs of ketchup, mayo and malt vinegar, so your chips get sauces and stuff entirely to your liking

Burger = got a cheeseburger. Thought it was decent; probably not worth as much as it actually cost, but I did like being able to customise it fully for no extra charge.

Shake = basic vanilla for testing purposes, was thicc

I wouldn’t go out of my way to go to Five Guys again, but if you’re in the area it’s pretty solid fast food

it's not enough to unsubscribe or block I want to punish cyanenergy for their SMSing. How the fuck did they even get my details.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Get in touch with the ACCC and the ombudsman. I had some fun doing that to Simply Energy a few years ago

Wasted an hour this morning not being able to find my keys. Turns out they'd fallen into a boot. Well there goes my prep time for today's meeting...

And today starts the journey to resetting my internal clock for work.

I know I fail almost everytime I do this but maybe I actually do it today.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looking forward to chatting with you at 3am!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I hope I’m not up that late!

It's a few years old, but this episode about the sound of sport from 99% Invisible is really interesting - https://pca.st/episode/81cbf660-03f3-0132-a289-5f4c86fd3263

Looking for recommendations for a good watch repair place in the CBD.

I replaced the movement but it turns out that I no longer have the eye sight / fine motor skills needed to put the watch hands back on.....

Being in my 50's is a wonderful thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You want Bob Shao up on the corner of Russell and Little Collins. The store doesn't look like much, but he's the guy I took my watch to and was excellent.

Of course, he's easily in his 50's also - so don't try that excuse on him. 😃
