I so agree, my dad gambled when it was only horses & lotto & that was bad enough, kept us poor. He made sure we didn't starve, so he didn't think he had 'a problem' it was just his 'hobby' but he gambled 2/3 of his wages and mum had to try to feed a family of 5. We never saw any wins if he had any.

These arseholes steal your stuff and then tell you to 'opt out' of being burgled. 'Promises more granular control'? (What even is the point of words?) Promises a gravel sandwich, more like. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

1) initial joy,
2 sudden panic it might be AI/offside
3) lengthy investigation as joy saps away
4) conclusion, joy modulated through fatigue if proven legit/onside, but angry and gutted if AI/offside
Everybody's happy!

It was a travel show without a single travel story and she only name checked two destinations, London and Byron Bay. It was more about "why can't I settle in one place?" Very repetative and dull to me, but other audience members enjoyed it.

The vape was just building up and she was becoming sick from it. She asked a student to vape outside and they laughed and said "make me" and she quit. People eh?

Katherine Patricia Routledge (1929-2025)
RIP Dame Patricia Routledge.
She brought joy and laughter into so many lives.
I don't count, but they did it to me before robodebt was formally installed. It was an insane experience and you have no money to lawyer up and it's your word against theirs. It was so obviously deliberate. They have all the information and all the power.

NT Independent: Blow jobs report finally released into questionable NT Police senior appointments by Christopher Walsh | Oct 2, 2025 |
Meanwhile in Australia’s Northern Territory, Justice Blow has published his report about dodgy employment practices in the local police, and a local journalist has just spuffed all over his keyboard.

In 1983, I was in a production of the Peter Cook & Dudley Moore revue 'Good Evening' in Auckland, NZ. Little did I know that 20 years later, this Pete & Dud biopic would - bizarrely - be shot there. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb_X...

A busy Motley Bauhaus bar. Band setting up on a golden backed stage with res gold trimmed curtains stage all have cat face paint. The photo doesn't capture how packed it is. People were hanging outside on a cold night in Melbourne.
As I took this last night at Motley Bauhaus I heard someone say "Fringe is fucking Fringing." It's really is.

Geraldine Hickey's comedy bird calendar. October is Sooty Terns. Pat who didn't think anyone would be home so soon and is fooling nobody that they were just 'streching and yawing' to Diana Ross. The smaller pic is Glenn who caught Pat dancing well before they realised he had come home early.
It feels like I'm in County Mayo. Hello October from Australia, it's Geraldine Hickey's bird calendar.
