Bought pastrami from Woolies deli yesterday, made a sandwich for lunch,on the last bite I thought that bit of pastrami had a funny taste to it and sure enough up and down all night with a funny tummy. 🀒
I'm only buying processed meat in a sealed container with a use by date on it from now onwards.

We all know the convicted rapist who can't be named from a 'high profile Melbourne family' is from a high profile AFL football family, right?

I don't know how many shopping days there are until Christmas but I'm doing all mine here.

The only thing I care less about than your Spotify wrapped is my own Spotify wrapped.

Minor grievance I know but is there anything more annoying than one earbud that won't connect πŸ˜•

I'm in. I won't click through to the story but will just read the replies to see how outraged I should or should not be.

Somebody at work asked me if my Christmas decorations have a theme and I'm so confused. Isn't Christmas the theme??

Couple of questions
1. where did I put the Xmas tree stand last year?
2. who put these Xmas lights away all tangled up?

Saying goodbye at work Xmas parties is so awkward. Like you're drunk enough to hug people but do you really want to??

Work Xmas party in a city bar, $15 for a vodka and soda 😳
Reckon I could get the CEO to buy me a drink?

If the Essendon cheer squad doesn't use "It's a Merrettocricy" on their banner in Round 1 I'm going to be very disappointed

I think the problem is he believes obeying him IS the law.

I would have thought as a society we have gotten past the need to put up 'please wash your hands' in office bathrooms 🀷

I don't want to be one of those people but what the fuck Melbourne, it's mid November and so cold. Get it together.

I cannot recommend Jamie Oliver's cranberry and pistachio nut roast for Xmas enough. I make it every year for the vegetarians and have to smack the meat eaters hands away from it. Just leave out the eggs and cheese to adapt it for vegans. It's honestly so good. And not dry.

The fact that it's racist is bad enough but also it's just so immature and childish to make fun of someone's name like that. Grow the fuck up.

The Government That Isn’t: Labor’s Masterclass in Looking Busy Let’s be kind. Just sitting in the driver’s seat is enough for some. Then there’s the Competence Trap: the myth that good administration is an end in itself. Of course, we can’t rule out stage [...]

β€œWith 94 seats, its largest majority since 1943, Labor governs with the courage of a bunny caught in the headlights, terrified of using its power. Keating would have reshaped the country with these numbers.”

Do you know of another number to call if you're in an area with no mobile signal? I recall being told once in a first aid course there is a number you can get through to even with no signal.

The challenge of finding a paperback that is commuter friendly but also large enough font for my diminishing vision is real.
