We had one dude send out to all the blokes a complete step by step procedure on how to clean the skiddies off of the toilet bowl after taking a dump.

Our work upgraded the dunnies a while back with these impressive looking Jon's but it was damn near impossible to land your mail in the letterbox, the waterhole was in the middle and it was like there was ski ramps all around.

Cause we write the week off early, so do nothing, and doing nothing can make the days drag!

We're the opposite, I thought it was just past lunch time, we always have customers that didn't take the PH's into consideration when ordering and are now in a mad panic to get their shit sooner, I've just been beaten up severely here this week so far.

Well the virus is over and people have become bored with the war already so the media needed to find another topic to jam down our throats.

The Advertiser have moved onto a full scale gang war going on in the CBD
They should be able to keep that going until the next earthquake or Port lose to the Saints so Hinkley is under pressure again

Paywalls I avoid these days. I used to subscribe to The Advertiser, and later when in Melbourne to The Age, but all the newspapers now seem to be so unbalanced and totally commercially orientated that I never bother any more.

I tend to read the ABC website, Euro News, and the UK version of The Spectator - ABC is free, Euro News is too, and The Spectator gives you three articles free.

(With The Spectator I use a browser set to delete all cookies on closure than re-open it and read three more.)

Am I just too old now and not keeping up with the Jones' or Kardashians?

I like to keep tabs on the kids finances, I told my lad he can hold off of paying paying board as long as he's not buying junk food and saving his coin, I asked him on the weekend "How's the savings going?"

Yeah good "1.8 so far"

Daughter tells me her boyfriend placed a $10 bet on the weekend and won 5.4, since when did thousands be the whole number? Is this the new lingo?

Not sure, BUT

A $10 bet was turned into $5400? That's impressive.
