New store opened at the Avenues Shopping Centre with only about 20 products in it. All imported chips and soft drinks

Wonder what they are really selling to pay the bills? ;)


Not even trying to hide it now

There's one in Peel St, near North Tce. Used to be a brilliant little cafe called Toast. There's 2 thriving convenience shops withing spitting distance of this joint.

Walk past it on the way to the train station, the drinks fridge has about 3 drinks in it, and there's empty boxes of chewies/mints on the shelves. Had the closure notice up recently but is sadly operating again. There's a revolving door of what I assume to be "student visas" hanging out in the shop and out the front.

Agency rings me up with a glowing candidate, tells me that he's a mechanical engineer.

Me "Why the f*** would a mechanical engineer want to be here doing ............., he'll get f******* bored in one day"
A "He just wants to branch himself out into a diffferent field"
M "I have 30+ applicants a week that are mechanical engineers yet they wouldn't even know what a f******* spanner is, let me guess, he's Indian?"
A "Yes, he is a matter of fact, and he's a young lad"

No shit, they must give out ME degrees over there in corn flake boxes, it seems to be the go to trade for any CV.

I have offered him an interview but I can guarantee he will come with his own set of rules to follow and hours of availability and then won't rock up on day one if I do hire him.

Fortunately I'm close to filling all roles.

As my old man says "Yesterday I couldn't spell engineer, today I is one!"

I'm also fond of "Engineers were so much better when they stuck to driving trains"

Driving home down South Rd on Monday evening. There was a tree hugger working on some trees, south of Thebby oval, just north of George St.

She was breaking shoots and low branches from the trunks, presumably to make way for her "save the trees" signs.

Irony much?

I know it's hard to believe but Kim Jong Un has been re-elected as the General Secretary of the Workers Party continuing as the leader of North Korea!

Quite the turn of events.
