It’s book release day!. Yay!
Will purchase tonight. I really enjoyed Revenge of the Flightless. This one looks like fun too.
Aww thank you!
Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.
At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴☠️, of course)
I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”
Do you have an actual tagine because I want one but they’re so awkward to store in a tiny kitchen?
Nah, this was premade, I’ve never made one let alone with an actual tagine…
I hope you enjoy it.
Wow. That’s impressive.
Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.
Dinner sounds yummy!
It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.
Check out a show called “Tales from the loop” if it’s on Apple+
Late reply, but this sounds right up my alley! I’ll definitely check it out.
It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.
Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.
Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.
I woke up semi hyper ventilating.
Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.
I’m getting child abuse vibes. Am I reading into this too much?
Nah you’re not. It was random acts of violence.
Makes you hyper vigilant as an adult.
Today shall be known as “International Unholy Amount of Gravy Bucket Friday Day”
Mark your calendars and secure your chippies.
Yesssss woo hoo 🎉
Will there be mayonnaise?
As you wish
Thank you. 😋 yum
The first thing the Seagoons do when they go back home to Belgium is go to the friterie near Grande Place. Cones of chips with mayo and little forks to eat them with
Delicious 😋
It’s that time of the evening. There’s more work that needs to be done, but that’s next week’s problem.
Now it’s time for wine and pizza
Cheers mate 🍺
By the way where you from? It’s ok if you’re not from Melbourne because we loves strays. Just curious.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @[email protected] I’m currently up in Sydney, but I was born and raised in Melbourne (and travel back as often as I can).
Cool mate. Love having ya here.
If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?
feels like Sunday, just want sleep
I’m genuinely surprised and impressed at how many people are at work today. Granted, there is a lot going on right now. But still - hardly anyone took the day off.
I believe birthday wishes are due to @[email protected]
Happy birthday Bull! 🎂
I raise my horn to Bull. 🥳 h b’day
Happy birthday, Bull! 🎂
@Catfish @Seagoon_ @melbourne Happy birthday Bull!🍹🍾🎂🎁🎉
Thank you and other repliers! 🥰
Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
Bad news: I have to take it myself.
Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)Here, have a cup of gravy on the house ☕
Ta! glug

Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.
Time to go out there and glare at them.
Yes, I’ve done it before.
Yes, they’re scared of me.
Oi! Knock it off ya feral cunts!
More like ‘Shut the fuck up, or I’ll fuck you both up’
They got the message.
Hehhhhbahahhaa yesssss - true chaotic good dad-energy
Rest of the neighbours will back me up 100% but they need a large person (me) to initiate.
Ooooo let me translate that for you into bogan.
Garn which one of you cunts wants a knuckle sammich? Who wants to smell the cheese?
I’m okay with boganese.
They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.
Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.
The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.
Methinks we’re friends now.
Oi wadaya fink this is? Fuckin’ bush week ya fuckin mongrels.
My neighbour had been doing tons of loud renos at all hours for months . He seems to have stopped the past week or so. Thankfully.
Other neighbours were starting to shout at him 😬
I need some advice because I lack the most basic of social awareness:
I’ve been texting someone, only a couple of times so far, but I have just realised I’ve spelled their name wrong the two times I’ve used it (has a j instead of a y. The y-version is the one I’ve always seen so I guess I skipped over it). I feel bad and I know it makes me feel awkward if someone gets my name wrong. I want to apologise but then I feel like if I bring it up, I’m bringing attention to something they maybe not noticed?
I usually blame “autocarrot”. Generally gets a laugh.
haha, that’s gold.
It’s been noticed. Everyone notices their name spelt wrong. Say nothing. Its only been twice not two years. Continue using the correct spelling.
I’ll do that. Thanks.
My weird name gets spelled wrong a lot, just say sorry you were using the wrong spelling, you’re not the first to get it wrong, you’ll be one of a few that say something. I no longer correct people who fuck my name up, some people have been getting it wrong for years.
@dumblederp @danwritesbooks @melbourne As you can probably tell from my username, I have an uncommon ethnic name, and I get this all the time.
Yes, they have noticed the typo.
Most likely, they haven’t said anything because they don’t want to cause a scene. But it is annoying.
First, acknowledge your mistake and apologise in a discrete way that’s not in front of other people.
Perhaps that’s an email? Or a Teams message? If you do it in-person, make it a one-on-one conversation.
Keep it simple.
Hi, I need to apologise to you about something. I’ve looked through some of my past messages, and I’ve noticed I’ve misspelt your name a number of times. It was a careless mistake on my part, and one you’re probably quite rightly annoyed about. I’m genuinely really sorry and honestly a little embarrassed about this, I’ll make sure to get it right from now on. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make it up to you?
The really important thing is to not make the same mistake after the apology.
Perhaps copy and paste their name from another document instead of trying to spell it out from now on?
I will do that. Thanks for your input. I am certainly conscious of it now so will be making sure I get it right.
Lots of people will have gotten it wrong an made not attempt to correct their behaviour. It only needs to be a quick incidental apology. Even when you next address them in text “Hey Jagemeet (sorry for getting it wrong before), Can we talk about the project this afternoon? Thx Dan”
They certainly noticed you spelling their name wrong, but it sounds like a common error. I’m sure they get it a lot and don’t care. I’d bring it up light heartedly, like: “oops I just noticed I was spelling your name wrong, sorry! Do you get that a lot?”
“hey sorry, Jvette, I’ve been spelling your name incorrectly; I only just noticed. Yvette, you can call me Stan instead of Dan of it helps :D”
Don’t say anything and train your autocorrect
Definitely making my brain to turn off that autocorrect.
I think it’s a decent measure of how uptight someone is. Chicks named Sonja/Sonya get it a lot and if they’re reasonably unfussed about it they’re generally pretty chilled out sort of people and easy to spend time with. I know a Karl that gets Carl all the time and isn’t fussed unless it’s something official. Then again, I grew up in an era of Kathy/Kathie, Katy/Katie and Kelly/Kellie.
New snack unlocked:
A cracker, put on some franks hawt sauce, put on cheddar cheese, put on sriracha, put on a little bit of spring onion, put on finely sliced chilli, put on a dollop of plum sauce and a dollop of sweet soy (all very small amounts). Bit of cracked black pepper on top…
Where you been all my life.

You are grounded
@Force_majeure123 @useless_modern_god @melbourne That fakenitis is very contagious. You’re doing the right thing by listening to Dr Howlong and staying home.
Beverages or recreation are also a great remedy, I hear…
Those boys are pretty.
