💕 Happy Tay Tay Day 💕
Aww they tried to hide this under the “read more” section on the listing…
$500 a week for a leaky garage and some cooling you absolutely know is not getting fixed anytime soon.
It’s T minus 2 days until my landlord can (and almost certainly will) issue a rent increase notice, and shit like this makes me feel I’m better off putting up with whatever they charge here…
Godspeed!
If it wasn’t for the fact my current place is a shithole and that I need to be closer to my parents, I would not be moving an inch in this current climate.
Mine went up 80 a week and I just accepted it. Better than trying for something in this market.
Ouccch. Yeah I’m not feeling great about it at all but I’m thinking the same. I also still have the flexibility of a month to month lease if I stay, and moving is expensive.
It also sucks as a single person as actual minimum rent doesn’t go down much the further out you go, you just get a larger house, so no cost savings unless you go back into house sharing.
I’m in the same position. No fucking way am I going back to share housing. Finally having peace and quiet is worth the insane rent cost unfortunately.
I’d be informing vcat and the police.
That is not in any way legal.
My god that’s so disgusting. These people are scum.
Yeah I had one with a non functional gas heater. They wouldn’t even remove it. Thankfully now not legal, but desperate people will accept shit sandwiches
Someone will absolutely take it, it’s outer east, finding a place out there is reaching golden ticket levels.
There’s one around the corner from me with ‘windows’ made of hessian. No it isn’t a squat, or so I’m told by those who know about those. Seriously has no window glass.
Who needs cooling when you have * checks notes * no windows!
Edit - silly formatting
I’m SO sick of this Taylor Swift talk. Nothing against her, I like some of her stuff. But this “will she become president” and “OMG she’s landed in Melbourne” is just so tedious. You know who else is here? The Blink 182 boys! But there’s no need to bang on about it. Do people really not have anything else to talk about?
I’m more interested in hearing peoples thoughts on a their last coffee than I am their thoughts on a celebrity.
What’s the difference between the hype of U2 OR Madonna touring back in the day, or even the Beatles or the Stones. Just a modern take.
Social media i suspect. People feel like they have a connection with celebs these days. Its… disturbing. Especially the was some of them cultivate it.
It comes to taste probably. The artists you listed were quite unique and groundbreaking for their time. TS is a run of the mill pop singer that’s not really different in a sea of other pop stars.
theres nothing wrong with pop per say. i mean I certainly dont understand todays pop, but if you go fish out my ipod that hasnt been updated in 10 years I’m prepared to bet it has tons of 90’s-00’s pop. It just feels a lot like you know how little kids can ONLY talk about the thing they love and are so excited about? That, but with teenagers/20 somethings it becomes a bit more tedious. I’m not hear to shame other peoples interests, theres a special place in hell for folks who do that. But I also don’t run around pretending I’m captain of the enterprise or telling everyone how Dune Pt1 was a cinematic masterpiece either.

Bahahaha. Snorted out my beer at that.
Yeah I might outed my whole personality on that one.
When WrestleMania came to Toronto in the early 90s and the main event was Hulk Hogan vs Ultimate warrior, it was front page news in all the papers.
The hype leading up to it lasted months. Even people that didn’t care for wrestling knew of it.
This swift thing feels the same.
I hear you dude. She’s some weird bastion of white feminism, so I have to hear about her all over the place.
Billionaires aren’t your friends people.
Careful now the swifties keep lists of the people who make these sorts of comments.
I’m confident I can remember the lyrics to “You belong with me” so I assume I’m safe from the purge.
And nobody has mentioned the humidity in days??
Storm sucked up all the weather talk and deployed it at force between Caulfield and Westall. Or at least that’s Metro’s story.
We’re all about the heat in Perth. I think yesterday was our 5th >40° degree day for February. Sunday is forecast to be our 6th.
No humidity to speak of, at least.
I expect it’s because you’re in the same city she’s in. The level of Taylor Swift noise in Perth is quite manageable. We know she’s in Australia, and we know she’s not coming to Perth. There’s probably more noise about Pink who is coming to town in a couple of weeks.
Staff meeting the other day got derailed by her. I’ve heard of the woman but honestly couldn’t name a single song. Am old?
I too don’t know a single song, not even a song title
Monkey’s paw granted. Taylor Swift will now talk about Melbourne’s coffee.
Taylor Swift will now talk about Melbourne’s coffee.
If she gets some places to lift their game I’m all for it.
Thats gotta be the worst thing about touring. Do you send an advanced scout to check out good coffee places for you? Or do you just take a punt each time you go to a new city.
From my experiences finding coffee in the USA, she’ll love Melbourne. Honestly, the calibre of the coffee there is appalling.
My last coffee was about 4 hours ago. Large cappuccino, extra strong, lite milk, no sugar. I didn’t have to wait for a machine because there’s TWO there. Paid by card. Anything else you want to know?
Legit anything beyond whos consuming like 20 of melbournes top 25 tracks on apple music right now.
09:00 - Small strong cap. $4.50
9.5/10
Also have acquired 2x tix for The Swizzzz

Not a bad price!
This place is like an oasis from the utter shittiness of other social media
I am personally responsible for at least 37% of the goodness here.
Others may disagree
Of course. We are the champions, my friend.
My friend in the US got to meet my idol and got this for me.
My friend is absolutely amazing.
Send one of your own books as a thank you. 🤗
We have green lights across the board…
All systems on line ✅⚡️
Raise shields, arm weapons and prepare for evasive maneuvers.
Not if you mean Aussie zone. I’ve had to dig up my .ee account to get in
So I’ve joined the club
A family friend brought over a coffee machine yesterday. He wasn’t using it and thought we’d like it. LIKE it‽ Was so excited for it when the kids sent me a pic of it on the bench… grabbed some Grinders on the way home and OMG it’s like drinking a coffee flavoured cloud!Now that’s a great quality of life addition - great for the wallet too
Ooooooooh fancy
Yeah, I was a coffee maker (the word “barista” wasn’t around when I started) for around 11 or 12 years but always resisted getting a machine at home because cost but also I thought I’d end up being a bit of a wanker about it 😆
Old neighbour spent all his day in the garden and now there’s an ambulance at his place.
His existence irritates the hell out of me, but deep down I hope he’s okay.
For. @[email protected] very much WIP but it’s getting there
That looks so cool!
Wow, that’s some major sewing there. 👍The peacocks are so lovely too. :)
Thanks! May I not fuck it up.
That’s really good. Are you appliquing all the pieces on or a different method? Sorry I can’t see very well at the moment because I’ve been crocheting this afternoon and my eyes are fucked now.
Yeah it’s all appliqué in place. Hence the bottom side bits being a mega mega butt pain.
great big white and teal bits first mostly, then more fiddly or decorative later
I’ve kept my daughter’s old flannelette pjs which I intend to make into a quilt some day. You’ve inspired me to start on it. Thanks.
That sounds super cute.
I’m gonna bawl my eyes out when I cut them up but I know my mum would love a quilt made of them.
You want a bag of moth balls or a super personal gift?
True. I’m still gonna cry though.
Looky what I found. I thought I’d try it tonight when my standards are pretty low.
Oh man! I remember my mum giving my sibling and I the cheeseburger version when we were in a tight spot, and the single biggest thing I remember is the texture being both rock hard and soggy.
Yes!😂 I tried one of those as an adult and kept thinking is this even food?
Struggle sandwiches come frozen now? Damn
That thing cost me $5.50 so it at least better not give me diarrhoea.
I used to get these fresh(ish) burritos from Costco. Very lava flow inducing.
My assumption is, this will be similar.
Oh dear. I’ll give ya all the details tomorrow morning. 👍
Awesome, but don’t, yeah?
I’m guessing no pictures of the crime scene either. Righto.
Assumed correctly
Are they frozen?
I’ve always wondered about stuff like that though 175g seems fairly small.
Let us know how it goes!
Yeah it’s frozen.
Will do!
This makes me happy
Where did you see this? I love it!
Julian O’Shea’s M is for Melbourne at the comedy fest thing

Not sure about tin fish but here’s a couple of Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches I just made.
9.5/10
I approve
I’ll trade you one frozen roast chicken roll for one of those.
Not a problem Chief. (You can also keep yours for a rainy day)
Nawww. I owe you one mate.
Imagine if the beef was sardines though 🤤🤤🤤
Meet halfway? How bout fried Catfish? Throw in some slaw and fresh chillies?
🤝
I don’t believe there is a polite expresion for …this
What is it?
Rib eye, onion, Provolone + red cap on a toasted bread roll.
Sounds good. :)
I’m having chicken vegie curry with rice with nuts
💦
Went to a gig last night and it seems that young pomms are back in droves (you can tell by the accents and number of fades). Was packed. Normally the place is empty on a thurs.
Extremely popular music in the UK (drum and bass) but the scene here has sort of been struggling after the rona (for the smaller gigs). Hopefully it gives promoters a bit more confidence throwing smaller cheaper gigs and difference is made up with drink sales.
Also $15 a pint is ouch.
Where can I find more info about dnb gigs in Melbourne? I honestly have no idea.
For me it’s normally on fb.
There’s one at section 8 on Sunday :)
I should get a major part of a project for work done today and then it’s part 2 of valentine’s day celebrations this evening
As I watch these lion dancers doing their thing, I can’t help but wonder: What’s the connection with China and Lions in the first place? Were Chinese importing lions from Africa thousands of years ago? Any why are Lions the symbol of England for that matter?
I’d have thought Tigers would have been a lot closer to China, at the very least.
There’s a good post on askhistorians about the England bit.
wikipedia said a Han dynasty emperor got gifted a lion
Lions for England is an accretion of earlier arms of bits of land they owned at some point. Eg. Aquitaine. it’s built up the same way the ‘Union Jack’ is = St. Patrick, George & Andrew.
there would have been lions in Central Asia
Yaay internets are back
