💕 Happy Tay Tay Day 💕
Anyone else resorting to running the heater in the morning? Im chucking on shorts and a t when i get up, but finding really I want a hoodie and trackies till 10:30/11. So Im just chucking on the heater for halfa. The solar mostly covers it anyway.
I’ve got my windows open and in shorts and t-shirt. Wife and kids are rugged up a bit though.
Good character building for them.
Yep. Gotta take the chill off the air.
I put a beanie on yesterday morning with my shorts and T-shirt. This is how I regulate my warmth in summer. The mornings have been feeling a bit autumnal.
I’m eternally hot so I sleep with no cover in jocks lol
Nope.
Who hurt me ?? https://youtu.be/V-t1t8pYV9Q?si=9gWBXBS_5bivRxDA
That’s a great album. Who didn’t dress like Cyndi back in the day?
Tinned fish/preserved seafood enjoyers of this thread, what’s your favourite place (not colesworth) to get the goods?
Editing this just to elaborate on my request. I’m mostly looking for fancy stuff like Ortiz, Jose Gourmet, Little Tin Co.
The Aldi smoked rainbow trout fillets are very nice. I’m not so fond of the truffle oil infused trout fillets, but the plain ones are lovely. I like their plain sardines in oil but these sell out fast. I don’t like the sardies with horrid gloopy sauces that Aldi sells. If I want a gloopy sauce, I’ll make it myself.
Preston market fishmongers have nice smoked cod fillets (not entirely sure it’s really cod but definitely smoked) and I use these quite a lot. I would assume Vic market likewise would have a good range.
Most mediterranean grocers have baccala which is basically baconised white fish. Needs to be soaked to remove excessive salt but once soaked is nice in stirfries and fish pies etc. and just magic in an omelette or a rich tomato/garlic based fish stew (bouillabaise). Nice for pizza topping too.
I do get colesworth plain sardines in oil when I can’t find any at Aldi - they are the cheapest. Also colesworth can be relied on for tinned crab meat (when I can’t be bothered sourcing, cooking and picking fresh crab).
Most IGAs have John West stuff, including kippers, and sometimes other brands. Prices are higher but there’s usually a good range.
NQR occasionally has tinned fish both plain and fancy and this is a good source for stocking up the larder when they have stock in.
If stocking up, I’d start with NQR, and then Preston market, and then Aldi, and then IGA and then, and only then, colesworth.
Thanks for the rec. Probably should’ve worded my post better, was more looking for fancy schmancy stuff.
I’m making up a little gift for someone.
Noice! Myer used to sell cute little tins of WA sardies packed with a sprig of lemon myrtle in the tin - super delicious. Maybe Myer or DJs have something similar in their gormet food hall.
Why not colesworth?
I only ever buy Sirena tuna and guess where I get them from?
Was looking for more fancy schmancy stuff.
I know someone who can help you. @Force_majeure123@aussie.zone it’s your time to shine mate.
Unfortunately not much help. Gotta just order online
Getting the fancy stuff in Australia is tough, and costs far too much. You really need to order online honestly. You can go to various markets and most will have a spot to buy from, but yeh you’ll pay too much 🤷♂️

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
Miracle of miracles, I’m moderately well rested
Looky what I found. I thought I’d try it tonight when my standards are pretty low.
Are they frozen?
I’ve always wondered about stuff like that though 175g seems fairly small.
Let us know how it goes!
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
Omw home 😬🍺🍺😴😩
Ooooo someone is dying under stale tram lights, methinks lol stay safe
Now safe in bed 💕 work tomorrow is a maybe

I gotta head into Richmond in a couple hours to get the car, then drive to the corner of the city near the Royal Melbourne to pick everyone up around 4pm, then hightail it out to the 'Rat.
Google Maps keeps directing me to the hellish Westgate and the inevitable shitshow with the newly flipped m80 intersection. Would it not be easier to take Ballarat Rd, or even Dynon Rd -> Princes Hwy? 🤔
At that time of day I’d definitely avoid the Westgate. I reckon the other options are better choices
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. 🤗
How appetising does that look?
Don’t worry. I made it pretty
Verdict: Well… you know when you go to a take away or f & c shop and you order the chicken roll because it looks good on the board and you receive something in a plastic sleeve and you go “that’s not fresh!” Yeah it’s like that. Not good. Not bad. Just meh.
Would I get it again? Maybe if it was on the spesh.
Why?
Why does it even exist and why did you eat it?
I didn’t create it and I was curious.
Now it’s a party.
Better believe it.
I too two Gaviscon tablets after seeing and redding that
I don’t think it’s gone all the way down yet. I’m too scared to bend.
Take some tactical antacids
Trust me…I’ve been there
I’m good for the moment. I shared it so it was only an appetiser. I wasn’t gonna go full deep throat.
Ok I had to post this here after seeing it on the other site. For anyone who has wondered how they do the VFX for live sports broadcasts - ads on the field that seem to follow the camera around perfectly, on-screen graphics following players around, calculation of ball trajectories - this is a fantastic 11 minute video. You gotta check it out, I don’t even care for sports and was mesmerised!

Tech is wild though. I cannot believe they managed to render an entire NHL game into Toy Story settings/characters - including the freaking commentators - LIVE, with only TWENTY seconds delay from the live broadcast.
https://aussie.zone/comment/6659142 Pet kibble continued: If it’s getting baked hard and being extra dry, some people pre-soak their pet food to soften it.
Interesting. The reason I give him dry in the morning is because it’s easier on the eyes and nose but if adding water means he enjoys it more I will just have to suck that up.
Word of caution: That can allow bacteria and mould on the surface of the kibble to grow so either make sure it’s eaten immediately and remove the food if it isn’t, or try to avoid soaking.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
09:00 - Small strong cap. $4.50

Also have acquired 2x tix for The Swizzzz

Not a bad price!
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.
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.
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.
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.
