When I was a young lad the vending machine in our factory just had hardened plastic sleeves that held the goods in, they'd circulate and drop when you put the money in, alternatively you could get a mate to help tip the thing upside down and you'd end up with everything in there for free.

Watching the vending machine man come to collect his money was quite amusing at times, just not for him.

Kids simply don’t deserve some of the shit life dishes up it’s a cruel world :(

My firstborn was spirited to the W&CH within minutes of being born and spent a week in the neonatal ICU there.

My overarching memory of the place is the corridor from the lift to the ICU. The wall was festooned with pictures of preemies who'd spent time in the ICU. Two pictures for each kid: the first being his/her pic on admission, with a note as to how many weeks premature the kid was. The second picture being of the kid several years hence, happy healthy and smiling. The effect of these juxtaposed before-and-after pics was incredible; one really does appreciate the wonders which are worked in that place.

My niece was a premi baby at the W&C years ago, but sadly she only lived for a couple of weeks. One of my friends is an ICU nurse who works with Premi babies. I have no idea how she does it! They really are special people.
I apologise.

We had a vending machine at work for a little while, if you shook the shit out of it many items were dislodged.

No but I think someone on our table did. I had the Scotch Fillet, it was very good. On a bed of creamy mash and served with beans. Red wine jus was excellent. Stumbled out of there around 10.30 I think.

One at work, schooner ( for putting tips on at the pub ) on the way home, 2 stubb's looking at the backyard, a shower beer on a Thursday (it was glorious), started dinner, Mrs Boon took over when the footy started, dinner, few more, asleep on the lounge at 3/4 time.

Love Thursday night footy. :D

for the first time in as long as I can remember I don't feel some sort of anxiety!!! It comes and goes but I don't feel full (in my head) which is such an odd feeling. I really hope I haven't jinxed it but I finally feel like myself! something that I haven't felt in such a long time. Years
