Meanwhile when I offer people a free sausage, it’s rarely met with a positive reaction.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Well, kranskys are delicious; you can get any old, wrinkled sausage at Bunnings but it won’t be a kransky 😅

New band is coming for a meet and greet on Monday! Possible gig Thursday night.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
This new band is coming along excitingly fast
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Tell me about it! I guess they’re keen and so am I. It’s been about a year or so since I’ve been in a band.
Be nice to play shows.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Great news! Where gig - please share when you know. I think there’s a few people here who would be happy to come along and cheer you on.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’d be awesome! Will do.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’d be keen to go let us know :)

I have had two friends recently get into accidents where they were going through a roundabout and someone did not give way and slammed out into them - one on a bike and one in a car with family. I really think we are not ok out there, just go carefully and watch out.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I had two incidents near La Trobe uni on my bike at round abouts years ago. The two problems with them is people need to know how to use them, and they need to look
Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve nearly had accidents because as you’ve highlighted people don’t give way when they’re meant to.
I try and be extra careful going into one and also while going around inside.
I hope that the accidents occurs were not too serious.

Ugh, between Protest and Weather and this time of day, this is definitely one time I wish the flight was delayed… ETA right now is that I’ll get there just in time for boarding. Breathe deeply…
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Glad for the edit! Yay you made it!!!
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
made a… I dunno what your call it. One Pot? Veg and meat curry? Ratatouille? Whatever, made a thing last night. Not a huge veg guy, but cause it was all mixed in with some chorizo and chicken it was amazing. Woke up still thinking about it this morning. Didn’t even follow a recipe, just took some inspiration from a YouTube video and made some changes.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 1 month ago
There’s an Australian youtuber called OnePotChef if you want to continue down this path

I’m gonna write the recipe down. SHOULD be able to replicate it.

I don’t have para social relationships with celebrities, I just really enjoy reading about their shenanigans and weirdness. They’re humans too, elevated on pedestals, and it’s interesting to see what humans do when they are so rich and famous.
This whole David Grohl cheating scandal is delicious. People who elevated him to the position of “one of the good ones” (alongside Keanu and Pierce Brosnan, maybe Jack Black too), are losing their minds that he not only cheated, but now has a baby on the way with the other woman.
People are taking bets on how old the other woman is, with the running theory she’s in her early-mid 20s.
It’s just so entertaining to me. No one is so good, or will always be so good, not will they always remain bad. They’re humans trying to navigate having their lives out in the open, with every minute action critised or admonished.
Anyway, I’m all here for the juicy drama. If I had to place a bet, I reckon the other woman is 25. David is 55, prime time for a midlife crisis and to try and wet his dick with someone younger.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I am so glad I’m not under the microscope. I wouldn’t survive a day. I was military. I’ve been on the dole!! I have tragedies. I have estranged family who would sell me out for pennies and anger. Oh noes, Mr Seagoon was in the military!! Etc etc etc
The press is totes into black and white thinking, everyone is either all good or all bad, there is no nuance.
I think they build up the pedestals just so they can topple them.
And all for ratings and sales.
If David wants and needs company that’s his business.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah, you couldn’t pay to want any of that.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
100% agree. It’s easy to judge people from a distance. Who knows what the reality is?
No one is perfect. And to pretend otherwise is misguided at best. We are all people, capable of the most and least noble actions.
Should we take a magnifying glass to anyone’s life, myself included, there would no doubt be plenty to deride them for.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I am so glad I don’t have the world watching my life like that. It’s been a bit of a train wreck up until recently lol
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Today’s protests are hypocritical. Protesting violence with violence? Some of those interviewed seemed to think what they were doing was ok because they believe they have moral superiority and therefore assaulting people attending the expo is ok? Hmm where have I heard that before.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m sure there were some genuine decent protesters there but so many were disgusting animals.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The decent people always get drowned out by the aggressive ones.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
had a crack at that sausage roll roll for lunch (that’s a sausage roll on a bread roll for those playing at home). Honestly? not bad! I only had 3 sausage rolls left over from kiddos dinner last night, and it was a great way to pad them out a bit.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Buttered and sauced I hope 🤞
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yep! Had no idea this was a thing till the other day but when you only got 3 mini sausage rolls left over its a great way to pad them out.
Eagle@aussie.zone 1 month ago
It’s a roll in a roll, or that’s what we called it on high school. Your next challenge is a dimmy roll with soy sauce.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 month ago
oooof yeah nah not a huge dimmy fan, but it has been a while so maybe I should try 'em again.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Vacuumed during my lunch break, that was very satisfying. Feel a lot better about coming home to a less chaotic scene. Now to just clear the most urgent work stuff, pack away leftover lunch, put rubbish out, wash dishes, deep water balcony plants, shower, final pack, find that fucking black puffer vest that’s been eluding me for 3 days straight… weather where I’m going is all 18°C feels like 13°C, I need the thing! Chugging so much green tea to get me through.

39 dollar bra may be too good to be true but it’s in my damned size and at 10I I’m sick of dropping multiple hundreds so I’ll take the risk
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I hate bra shopping, loathe it completely and utterly. The best bra I bought, was back in the early 2010s. I’d gone to to the CBD for a short course, and in my rush I forgot to put a bra on (idk how I swear). I ran to target and the only one in my size (10DD) was this bright red one. And I had it for years, it was perf. Underwrite broke though. Since losing weight, I have no idea what my size is anymore, I use the bond sport bras, that are just elastic fabric.
I don’t envy you, it’s one of the shittiest things people with boobs have to do; find a fucking bra that will fit and won’t fall apart after a fkn week.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
All the options suck
Wish I could just remove them
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The fucking options for this size are bullshiiit and then they pad them or put scratchy lining
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Seems like 14 hours of sleep between naps and a full night is what my body needed.
Feeling much better today, but still hating on grubby sick people on public transport.
Thankfully it’s WFH for the rest of the week.

The trades left my place around 2pm, sent me their invoice then, 3 hours later I get a message “hi just checking you received my invoice?” as to prompt me to pay sooner. Are you serious? I get 3 hours?
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Yeah it’s hard times.
tone212_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I don’t pay before I’ve closely inspected the job they’ve done. Cos they ain’t coming back once they’ve been paid. I learned this the hard way. And I need more than 3 hours on a a work day to do what I need to do. I don’t think plumbers who charge thousands for a morning of work are falling on hard times.

Sodding Amazon misdelivered my pakidge - looks like they just dropped it at the nearest unit doorway, despite mine being one unit down and opposite and very clearly labelled. And of course it was the one doorstep I missed on the recce before I had to pick up the papou.
Bang go any thoughts of me getting Amazon Prime if that’s the standard of service I can expect in this neck of the woods.Duenan@aussie.zone 1 month ago

All the sewing is finished. Don’t think I’ll drag out my machine for a while. I’ll take pics in the morning when the light is better. So much getting rid of stuff still happening. :) Been so busy haven’t really watched any tv , movies or news and worse, haven’t been posting here much but I do read everything you all write. 😘.

I know I’m not built to have kids, when I see them on the train and feel a visceral disgust for them, their disrespect, and their immature brains. I’m sure they will grow up to be fine, but kids are so disrespectful on PT.
Kudos to anyone who has raised/is raising kids, but that clusterfuck ain’t for me.
Pilk@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Controversial take, but I hold so much space for kids in that age range. Being a teen/tween fucking sucks. School (feels at the time like it) sucks. Puberty sucks. Bullying sucks. Coming from a poor family or shitty home dynamic sucks. Not sleeping properly and getting up early for public transport to school sucks.
So, fuck yeah, do your TikTok dances, listen to music on speakerphone, drink your huge Slurpee, and take up a seat instead of giving it up to an adult that has probably sat on a wheelie chair all day. Just do your best.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I do agree with this, the world is shit and the kids will cop the brunt of it when we’re dead. I love their silly trends and dances tbh. Have fun in the dark world.
I think it’s a me problem 100%. On some level possibly resentful(?) because they’re generally in groups of friends, which I lacked. But it’s not their fault, and I know better than to lose my shit when I realise my feelings are my own, and that I’m just making generalisations about persons I don’t know.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I think I have the same initial reaction due to bullying, with a particular distaste for teenage girls. But I can attest to the fact that not all kids are disrespectful on PT. Last time I went into the CBD on a train I got on at the same time as a group of school boys. I was prepared for noise and rumbunctiousness, but instead got to over hear them earnestly discussing how to determine when the train had reached the appropriate level of crowding that they should stand up and leave their seats for adults to sit down 🤣
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s so good. 😂😂😂 That gave me a proper chuckle hahah
And yeah I think it’s just my initial reaction but my second thought is that they’re fine/most kids are good. I hate when they run in front of me, but also I remember being that age and either not having awareness of my surroundings or feeling particularly rebellious.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I feel pretty much the same, despite the fact I’m still a child. There’s honestly a little bit of fear every time a large group gets on my bus/train/tram, and I avoid travelling at school times when at all possible. A group of two dozen 12 years olds vaping and trying to start a brawl on a bus is not fun
On a similar note, I did not use the school toilets a single time between grades 3 and year 10. Fucking traumatic, and a large part of the reason I seek out unisex/single person toilets with proper walls, or a quieter one with multiple stalls when possible
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 month ago
School bathrooms were utterly atrocious in the 2000s, and they still are.
When I was a kid, I intensely disliked being around other kids. School was fucked, the only people i liked were the teachers. The kids didn’t like me either, and I think latched on to any visual oddity to bully me, but I think they knew I was different. Not special or anything, but had experienced trauma in ways they had not, and I was different bc of that.
It took me 20 years to understand why I hated going to Nan and Pops (mum’s parents. Thanks repressed memories), and bc that trauma happened so young, I knew things other kids didn’t.
Like I said, I’m not special or superior bc of trauma. But it does change a child. There’s something about traumatised children that is obvious to other kids, but they cannot articulate it.
Bathrooms are the worst. I want to throw up with anxiety when I have to use the flinders bathrooms. And pub bathrooms scare me as well.
