    anyone else wake up in the morning and first thing they do is to check the news to make sure the world hasn’t ended overnight, hoping for an excuse to not have to get out of bed?

      No the first thing I do is stretch to make sure everything is still working. Then I let the dog out so he can have a piss.

      Must feed animals or the furry little drama queens will perish ! Oh the suffering they have endured without food for 8 hours is immeasurable.

        Same.

        Ted Cat pats me on the face to wake me up if I am too tardy with the food. Bill just stares or yells at me.

    Oh wow. 30+ years later, that jungle is absolutely still in there. Does this ad still air?

      I still “sing” it sometimes, I don’t even know if the brand is still available. I think I had to YouTube the ad to show the kids once, as well as other ads that I occasionally “sing”, because they had never seen them. I feel like less ads use a good jingle nowadays.

    If I have a proper posture I have no pain at all any more. I might get another desk chair, I have one of those stylish miller ones but don’t use it as it too bulky.

    OK, was it Duenan who said he had a screen shot of Gandalf with his Istari shield? I replayed scenes in both versions of the movies, have looked so close and just can’t see it.

      I think it’s the sphere he formed when he said he’s a servant of the secret fire etc. From 2:08:04 to 2:08:10 of the theatrical version

      This is an artist’s impression of the scene from the movie.

      I’ll have to go back and replay the scene to get a timestamp though.

    Well, I called it. Melbcat has potentially had a reaction to the antibiotic and has definitely got an ear infection and super itchy skin. I’ve been advised to stop the antibiotic (normally something you should never do) and give her eardrops and transdermal pain relief. They couldn’t get urine today so not sure about the UTI situation but if she worsens it’s specialist time.

    So they’re doing a Lemmyvision contest for national communities, I’d love it if people here could take a few minutes to look at my recommendation (or suggest your own). I’d like to see us compete just as we do in the real thing.

    Also I found out that Adrian Bliss (weird costume guy who does comedy shorts) is coming to Melbourne to perform next month, gonna book some tickets tonight.

    Can’t sleep. Doing that thing where I do the thing I shouldn’t do (thinking) because it makes me not be able to do the thing I want to do (sleep)

      Brooooo SAME. “I cant sleep because I’m distracted because I crave a distraction because I should be asleep but I cant sleep so I’m upset and so I’m craving a distraction” was a real vibe last night

    How good is oyster sauce? The good stuff, especially (I’m still on a bottle of Megachef that’s lasted me over a year). Lifts up any tired old vegetable stir fry. The perfect balance of sweet, salt, and savoury 👌🏽　especially with a dash of rice wine thrown in. Don’t need much else.

      I love it. I add it to sauteed mushrooms. Special shout out to hoisin sauce. A fantastic little dipping sauce for all meat delicacies.

      My partner puts it in the noodle stir fry he makes, along with sesame seed oil. It makes it taste like an amazing restaurant dish 🤤

      I love oyster sauce!

      Add to veggies or soups with 2 minute noodles and I’m in heaven!

        Oh it is such a great addition to 2 minute noodles. But in soups, I have never tried that before… I’m not a huge soup person but I should give it a go in winter. I can imagine it’s a nice alternative to stock powder for cheap and easy seasoning

          I add the powder packets and stuff and then oyster sauce as well.

          It’s quite nice with some flavours but I totally forgot about the stir fry noodles I used to cook with oyster sauce, water, dash of sesame oil, lol bit of sugar from memory, so delicious!

    I have read more than half the book on back anatomy/backpain/back treatment . The gist is, “Stop doing dumb shit that injures your back”

    I identify with this.

      yum

      I make this at home, I make instant custard with powder, hot, and then when cooked I add either nutella or a couple of squares of real chocolate

      it is so yum
