Wentworth S3 is off to a great start!

Making home made pizzas with Ash Jnr (3) and putting them in the weber q. I think his will taste very average after he put 400kg of cheese on it!

I know a guy who robbed a servo in a stolen car and dropped his wallet in the boot when dumping the car.
Did 4 years!

Can't wait for Ray Donovan to start back next week!

Harris Curry House at Walkleys Heights. "New"

You don't even get a revue. Sultanas are for sultana bran, not curries and not dozens of them. Meat is the base not over spiced sauce and mysterious pieces of stuff.

Mango Lassi was OK, Naan bread is very hard to stuff up and they really nailed the plain rice.

$45 not well spent. Highly unlikely to return

3/10

You were only a few kms from Beyond India. Never been disappointed there

Hearing about Adam Goodes 24 ******* 7

Looking forward to Show Me a Hero from the creators of The Wire

So last night stayed in Mildura at the Best Western Chaffey.
Restaurant is rated #1 in town and I know why.
I had the pumpkin ravioli starer with a burnt sage butter sauce followed by a "250g" eye fillet with garlic mash and seasonal veg.
Entree was very good but the steak was one of the best I have had in a long time and was way over 250g. Nice bark on the outside and med rare inside. Superb experience along with happy hour all beers $5 so I indulged in few too many White Rabbit Dark Ales.
9.5/10 magnificent

I've got a 12mo Chocolate stout sitting in a keg in my cellar at the moment. If GF day is cold I'm gonna break it out

Did I hear correctly that SK have massive speakers set up on the border blasting propaganda to the North?
They are a weird bunch, all of them

Have recently started watching Shameless (US version) .. How the hell did I wait so long to watch this? Perhaps the most politically incorrect show I can recall seeing in recent times. Love it!!

I've watched it since day 1.
William H Macy is awesome in it.
Waiting for Season 6 to come out in January

Guy over the back was doing renos again last sat arvo while a mate and myself were having some beers watching the races.
Mr 3 goes to the back fence and says "oi man stop the noise daddy can't hear the horses"

Ray Donovan S3 ends in familiar fashion. Now to wait six months to find out

A certain easterly club is hitting the phones in an attempt not to get relegated ...

Having a $500 bet with a mate in May that Aish would go to Collingwood.
He had the other 17 teams.
More money for Derby Day next week!

Picking up a 6 month old Bathurst Scalextric track and 8 cars for $50 on Gumtree.
Little fella is going to go nuts!

Adelaide City Council and their useless attempt at fixing useless pavers in Hindley St. Glad I don't pay council rates to those flogs

Cricket in WA starting at 12-30 meaning I can get some work in the yard done before relaxing on the couch with some bevvies. I tend too try and have a drink for the players out in the heat as I can sense their dehydration

I have done exactly the same.
Gardens done this morning, meal prep for the week done, now parked up with a nice platter and my mini engel fridge full of refreshers

A bit of a shuffle on AA.
Jane Reilly basically booted from the studio since she announced she was retiring.

Aiston gone to weekends - thank God for that, the most annoying panel operator I've ever heard.

Now it's Wills and Penberthy and its going downhill at a rapid rate from my limited listening.

Sports show back to 3hrs from 4

The one positive is they aren't covering the tests.....seriously I don't think anyone listened to them and surely like me they got sick of the ads at every opportunity.

JR basically drives around going to "stories" until she leaves at Xmas.
I was outside this morning and chucked the radio on. Heard Aiston and it went straight back off. Can't stand the bloke.
Morning show is terrible now. Both way too dry for a drive show.
I reckon sports show will go back to 4 hours in footy season.
Nothing beats ABC for cricket commentary

I'll be doing mine into 19L kegs which I supply and they clean

My lil fella starting Kindy this morning and basically telling us to piss off as soon as he got there.

Felt sorry for the parents that were dealing with kids latching onto them and crying

Doing the comedy pub crawl again, was good last year and lets face it, its a pub crawl!

Finally hitting 5000 posts, much easier now I am in an office half the time.

Car shopping

I have 2 staff on Annual Leave and then my secretary calls in sick.
So running the joint by myself, broke the forklift and just tried to staple an EFTPOS receipt to an invoice with my mouse in front of a customer.
Screw it, I'm shutting up at lunchtime and diverting the phone.

Has the concrete eroded away or has water got under the slab to create a void?
Was it a level block to begin with or was it heavily excavated or backfilled?
I'm in the concrete game and there are a lot variables
Hey mate... the block was cut and filled, so the section in question was part of the filled area.

Looked as though it was erosion due to the build being thru winter and no temp down pipes put in.

So I would suggest that the original erosion and then settling of the soil has made it worse.

I'm more interested in what needs to be done to fix? Is it OK to leave and try and fill with sand or something?

I would say the fill wasn't compacted to spec and then with wait water hitting the same spot its washed away.
You could just backfill and compact it but I would be getting the builder out and making it their issue.

School holiday traffic

Can we fix the spelling on the subject please @Q.?

Looking forward to Wentworth returning tonight!

Ray Donovan is back in 2 weeks!!
One of my favourites

Heading there for lunch today, will do some recon

I've found my 4yo has been eating a lot more variety since I started letting him "help" make dinner.
Got him his own chopping board and kids knife and he cracks eggs,etc.
He will eat it because he made it, working a treat.

Dicko gives me the shits, everything he says is so laboured

Watched Last Chance U on Netflix the other day and really enjoyed it.
6 part doco on JUCO football in a small town in Mississippi.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Chance_U

Looking at the results of each side on larger ovals (Salis, Kenil, NH, Pooraka) and with the game being played at Thebarton Oval:

Eastern Park - @ Salisbury Oval Lost by 34, @ St Marys won by 31, @ Largs Nth won by 70, @ Lindblom won by 78 (3W, 1L)

Westminster - @ Salisbury Oval lost by 1pt, @ St Marys won by 29, @ Largs Nth lost by 31, @ Lindblom won by 26 (2W, 2L)

Rd 5 - WOS def EP by 45pts @ WOS
Rd 14 - EP def WOS by 41pts @ EP
QF - EP def WOS by 19pts @ EP

Ignoring all of the above, I'm tipping Westminster OS by 11pts

All that research and you still followed your heart, not your head :lol:

Another season of Ray Donovan finishes .. Initially found this one a bit harder to get into, but that didn't last long. Cracking show still!!

I found this season hard to get into as well. Just got back from OS so have the last 3 eps to watch still

Be interested in your take of those last few eps and the conclusion, thought they wrapped it up pretty well

I'll be sure to let you know!

Ok, finally got around to watching the last 3 eps.
I was waiting for everything to wrap up or at least start to in ep 10 and 11 but it sort of didnt and then BAM Ep 12 chucked 10lbs of sh*t in 5lb bag.
Was a good ending and interested to see where S5 takes them.

Have started Luke Cage on Netflix. Bit slow to start but enjoying it

I kegged my first brew from the BrewArt machne on the weekend. An American Pale Ale (only one available at HN)

Easy process, got a notification on my phone to say it was ready to keg, kegged it and now wait 2 weeks for secondary fermentation.

Put a new batch on straight away, Australian Premium Lager.

The whole process is simple and it took 5 mins to keg, clean and sanitise the droid ready for the new brew.

Im looking forward to tasting next week to see if its worth it

Anyone been to Golden Boy at the Botanic?
Going there Saturday night for SIL bday, she booked a month ago and still could only get in at 8:30!

Highly rate that place. Its a bit pricey but the food is awesome!

It has taken me 10 months to get my staff over A.

I am the youngest by 15 years but also the State Manager, has been a steep learning curve (for them )

Rain forecasted for the first 3 days of the test.
Hobart should not be given a test this early in the season, it was snowing there 3 weeks ago FFS!

Get woken up at some ungodly hour by Mr nearly 5
Go to Mum and Dads for presents and beers and nibbles out the front with the neighbours (35th year of doing this)
Go to the Nursing Home to see my Nanna
Brothers for lunch and way too much beer
Head home for an early night cos I'm on a 6am flight to the Boxing Day test!

Thats Amore at Highbury

Went last night for my brothers birthday and wanted to stay local

Been many times before and the food never disappoints.

Last night my 15mo nephew and my nearly 5 were running amok around the restaurant as they had finished their meals and we had just started.

I got up to go grab them both when a staff member told me to go sit down and they are fine.

5 minutes later the 2 boys are playing Lego on the floor with 3 staff members and the owner.

For me, this is above and beyond and shows why supporting local, family owned businesses is worth it.

Cheers - that's about the only place i seem to be able to find at the moment (that is reasonable price too).

Ask around the club, usually at least one bloke has a miracle box and buy the keg through the club

The Battered Bastards of Baseball. Good sports doco really enjoyed it
