Morning! I have found my first Charles III minted coin in the wild. It is approximately as interesting as he is.

if you look at the head it is facing the opposite direction of the QEII coins. This is a very old custom ,www.royalmint.com/…/coinage-portrait-tradition/

That is a tradition I was unaware of. Nice.
I don’t think you can call HRM Wannabe Tampon no drama

At the Murray as a young adult with fam, and aunt was driving the boat while I was on the biscuit. She starts doing massive donuts, so the waves grew large and chaotic. Nek minit I realised my dream of going to space.

lol as predicted new mcmansion builders are out there scratching their heads on how to drain the swimming pool.
I would lend them my $20 pond pump but I’m not going to because I’m cruel.

You’re a better man than me. I’d throwing backing soda into the water all weekend.

Don’t be fooled. That’s not Gibson. That’s a statue I made with all the fluff that’s been falling out lately.
Goodnight ❤️

Very convincing, you must have a great comb.

I get so much dog hair in the Dyson I need to empty it a few times per room. I show the dog the bag of hair I keep with me and ask what he plans to do about it.

It worked!
I had a relatively normal night of sleep. Still woke up once or twice but fell straight back to sleep.
I forgot what feeling refreshed after sleep felt like lol

What was the secret?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I was taking my last adhd tablet at the wrong time. I was taking it early thinking it would run out faster but that’s not how it works.
If you take it too early it stacks with the previous tablet and you got a weird double effect.

Fucking hell
- Buy dishwasher on the 25th. Not in stock, but they’ll order in from Bosch.
29th they say “Hey good for pickup and organise delivery” We have sparky coming out on the 3rd so I arrange with the installer to bounce to today delivery guy says ok ok ok reschedules four times on their booking system. finally books in tomorrow I call him going wtf dude “nonono it totally says the 5th, 8:30 am” I call him at 10 am today asking if he’s gonna show up “hurrrr isn’t it tomorrow?” He “agrees” to fit us in DISHWASHER NOT FUCKING THERE cunt has a go at me over it
Fuck you, good guys brighton. And fuck your goddamn hipages installers
mertn22@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The only thing good guys are good at is advertising.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Sometimes misleading advertising. I bought a freezer from there a couple of years ago and they were advertising a credit for future purchases that turned out to be so restrictive it was basically useless. Apparently ACCC pulled them up on it and made them send out vouchers with no restrictions or time limits, so I got an unexpected $60 voucher recently (which paid for the toaster I picked up today!)
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
they are waiting for it to come from overseas
lying bastards
I know people hate on harvey norman but they generally do deliver next day , never had a problem with them at all, and it’s a franchise now, all different owners
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 month ago
oh we are past THAT.
It was THEIR staff who marked off the logistics at THEIR warehouse ready for pickup and then arranged THEIR installer to contact me.
so this is all them. It’s not “oh I jumped me gun they don’t have it” they fucking created this whole shitfest

My bus this morning has a loud talking druggie couple up the back and I had to move because they smell like poop. I’m listening to Alter Bridge and I can hear them above it 🤦🏼♀️
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I’m noticing other people smelling poopy lately too, it just used to be underarms and sometimes pee
homeless people? drugs? can’t afford to wash clothes?
Something is seriously wrong because hygiene is a core human trait,
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
I heard Covid can change your sense of smell? That said after the pandemic a lot of social norms were allowed to slide

It turned out to be quite a nice day today and I got a bit of gardening done. I put some weed & feed on the grass, mostly hoping to get rid of the bindiis, and a couple of other rampant weeds that have gotten a bit overexcited about spring. I planted out some shallots & potato onions (which are a lot like shallots) and sorted out my seed planting plans for tomorrow. Which involved a fair bit of searching through boxes to find some of my gardening stuff which is still packed. I’m still missing a couple of things, but nothing too important.
I hope to get onto some assembling of plant supports tomorrow too, which will help visualise where everything will fit in the garden and help with laying everything out.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Mostly outdoors work for me too tomorrow. I’ll rust proof then paint an outdoor table for plants then it’s a big clean up of the front yard.
Taleya@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Fresh hell update: They managed to find one at another store . At this point we just want the dishwasher and wash our hands of this BS, so we arrange that they refund the delivery fee, give us a new number and we go pick up at said store.
ONE HOUR LATER. no new number. I call, and Other Store are like “wat”
I call braaahgton: “Ohhh we’re having a PERSONAL driver bring it back to brighton for youuuu” WELL THAT’S GREAT BECAUSE THE ARRANGEMENT WAS WE GO PICK IT UP AT ANOTHER STORE YA FARKIN IDIOT

I have discovered an op shop with sensible prices! And acquired a formal tail-coat for Boyo. If I redo the lapels in something outlandish I might even induce him to wear it
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 1 month ago
Silver or black embroidered spiderwebs across the lapels, and on one of them, a haematite spider with black pipecleaner legs. Or a googly eye with pipecleaner legs would be fun too.

I have successfully braved the local post office to pick up my toaster and return some long-overdue library books. I can now authoritatively say that it is an awful, badly designed carpark I would be very happy never to return to.
I also went to Bunnings, which was fairly hard to actually get to despite being just over the road. Actually getting there involved a large loop and a ridiculously long light cycle at traffic lights. Then when I was checking out the eftpos machine wasn’t working and after three attempts I had to move to another register to pay. I will be happy to be able to stay home for a while now - I have nearly two weeks off and have plans to not go anywhere.
I managed to spend almost $150 on various shit. A mix of cow and chicken, plus some liquified fish for good measure. When Mr Woof gets a sniff of it all he’s going to be very impressed.
On the way home I could see they have surveyors out in the paddocks over the road which are slated for a new estate. The cows were very interested, and one of the surveyors was having to survey in the middle of a herd of bovine helpers.

Does anyone else find it hard to watch shows because all you see is the acting?
I’ve tried a few times now since I stopped taking suboxone and something has shifted. No matter what it is, all I see is the acting.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 month ago
The way movies are made is changing apparently popcrush.com/tv-dumbed-down-phone-scrolling-viewe… maybe it’s that you can see?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That’s interesting. It seems to be with everything even old stuff.
I don’t mind too much but it’s been an odd experience.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
loss of “suspension of disbelief” perhaps
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_of_disbelief
I can be the same sometimes , after seeing a movie a few times I start to look at the writing and structure of it , but I still enjoy it very much, maybe even more
solution, watch other shows where the story will take you away
( last week I went to see Frankenstein, I was surprised at myself at how much I was immersed in the story telling , could not take my eyes off the screen, very much a what happens next story but had so many moments of reflection too , 5/4 hobbits )

Having a lot of fun playing Ratchet and Clank on the PS2. I used to play the series ALL THE TIME! I reckon if I made different choices, I’d be a speedrunner for R&C, all my muscle memory is coming back from replaying it over and over in my teens.
And there’s so much in the first game that Insomniac expanded on in 2 (going commando) and especially 3 (up your arsenal). I remember why Insomniac are my favourite devs/studio.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 month ago
That was a great game. Up Your Arsenal. I remember messing around and aiming patiently to snipe a circling aircraft out of the sky

Today’s weird opshop LP finds. I buy every comedy record I find except Bill Cosby.
first up, The Best of the Two Ronnies. These were a very famous comedy duo who in their sketch comedy show satirised the worst of popular culture
First track, a perfect rendition of treacly post war Scottish husband wife folk music duos, it was so spot on so ickle pretty sweet with perfect accents I had to check the disc to see if it was really them. God it was awful …lol
Why was the Black and White Minstrel Show still a thing in 60s and 70s? Anyway, Corbett and Barker do “The Short and Fat Minstrel Show.” I hope it offended fat and short racists and racists and sexists in general. Because what the fuck why the black and white minstrel show even exist
the satire really is shocking , people forget how harsh and impolite we had to be to stop racism ( and it still hasn’t stopped .) Every single racist trope is mentioned.
I am just 😧 😲 😲
click at your own peril, to be antiracist you had to make commentary on racism and show examples www.youtube.com/watch?v=32ePC-uVKFI

Oh yikes! That makeup is horrific. My clearest memory of them is treasure map knickers up a flagpole.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 month ago
black face is always horrific
listening to the whole album
so much that went over my head when i was a teen I get now,
I’m now, Gees, the two ronnies are really championing all these equality causes plus they were contemporaries of Monty Python in the Civil Rights Era

I can has read more easier now
but they are more useless for normal vision and I must be careful to take them off when I don’t need them

Sounds exactly like the ones I’m still getting used to. Great for screen/book but forget and look across the room = major dizzy
