Bee de bee de

A work colleague just announced she's resigned

Me inside, cheering
Me outside. "we'll be sorry to see you go"

Feel so hypocritical but she's driven me and others mad for years

Forget all about the austerity period that immediately followed

Or the €70b bailout they required from the EU and IMF

Maybe the fact that Ireland has a two house system has also slipped your mind

My favourite doctor and companion

Erica Stanford says no issues appointing her old boss to inquiry job The opposition has previously criticised the appointment of several former National Party ministers to Government roles as being "jobs for the boys".

Now in a Chemist Warehouse

Someone has a sense of humour in this one

Sharing shelf space are vibrators, lipstick, condoms, energy bars, and lubricants

An interesting night ahead!

We're out and about doing errands, and I've been dragged into a 'jewellery' store

What's amazing is every metal item looks like it's made from cheap plastic, whereas the plastic items look like metal

How the fuck they've managed this is a mystery

They had compassion?

It's not a 30% success rate either

Only 8 out 10 completed the course

7 of those 8 reoffended

12.5% success rate as of now

Firesale, surely?

NZNO balloting for two more strike days

Well, well, well

My addled brain read this as 'slow cooked children with meth'

I had an actual wtf moment until the brain sorted itself out

And then specialise

Where they spend decades either trying to unlearn those facts or base their practice on 'facts' that are either outdated or wrong

Thank God I'm registered
Otherwise $120

Yup

$71 here

At my least popular place to be on a weekend, the supermarket

Customers are bad enough, but why SHUT three out of five checkouts at the same time?

Especially when the queues are already six to eight people long

Black cat cup close

Morning
Adore me now human

Ffs
Torrential rain
Wilis determined to fight everyone
Nick White being Nick White
Two off with failed HIAs
Ryan off after knocking himself out
Now, a 30-minute minimum break due to lightning

What next, an invasion of Echidnas?

B19 is planning on moving to Melbourne when he finishes his degree

Good luck getting the prescription out of them. They really aren't keen on giving it out, especially if the test is free

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Lazerbeak and Ravage. Lego original sets I have an expensive addiction

New Lego meets 'old'

The last line perfectly sums me up right now

Who bought your morals?

We can but hope

I've a few
Need a lot more
Just hoping the NZ price is close to the Aus pricing
