You still got one that goes? Mine stopped working not long after the PS3 was released!
Got two actually, and a PS1
I have a couple of go to games that pass my time away and I've never found similar newer games that I like better.

Google PS2 to HDMI converter or just get an AV to HDMI converter from JB or Jaycar .
I might even have one at home I'm not using somewhere. Can have a look.
I just went to both places, Jaycar had something but it was $89, I can just use one of my other tv's at that price, I was hoping to set up the PS's on my computer desk and keep everything together.
White side out, blue side out, or is it entirely a fashion choice?
Blue side out. They don't come* with instructions but surely people don't need to be told?
I've seen folks wearing them either way today. Can't say that I can see a functional advantage one way or the other. Got a cloth maskie myself.
At the Wayville clinic now. The disposable mask brigade are here in force, and are displaying white and blue in equal number. Though it must be said all the staff are blues out.

Yes. Can't you just send them an SMS?

Havent you ever been at a table where two people are clearly and obviously texting one another.....its a real enjoyable experience
On a similar note, I have a worker who literally sits at arms length from me and he emails me questions instead of asking me verbally. It gives me the shits

A few years back a mate and I double dated these two chicks, we were at the Hogs Breath in the city and I noticed him on his phone incessantly, he then proceeded to go to the dunny and I could hear the chick's phone going boonta across from me, the sly dog was messaging her on messenger when it was the one I was meant to be hanging out of, what an operator.

I have quite the opposite, I'll ask the manager a direct question via an email so I can cover myself for going against policy or procedure and he'll walk all the way to me to tell me to go ahead, he refuses to ever make a decision.

I have had the same. I'd then ask "could you put that in writing before I proceed". He never did, so I'd email him again, saying "I know we've discussed this and understand your decision is <insert decision>, but could you put it in writing so I can take action?". Or you could try "just confirming your decision to be <insert decision>? Could you respond if you don't want me to take action based upon that discussion. I'll action it today unless I hear otherwise".
And copy everyone in so they know it's not you holding up procedings.

Unfortunately times have changed and you have to do this sort of stuff, gone are the days where people just done the bloke thing and owned their mistakes.
I've gone to my boss previously telling him that I've f******d up and explained what I did and how it will affect us and his immediate reaction is to see where else we could shift the blame.

I may be a bit old school but having your mobile at the dinner table is just plain f#cking rude.

Totally agree, social standards are a thing of the past, you go to a restaurant, look around and it's just couples scrolling their phones, they put them down when the food arrives and then whip them back out once they've eaten.
