    There’s definitely a certain “look” for people that work in JB-HiFi. Is it a phenomenon?

      The only look I ever get from JB employees is disdain.

          Take a kid. Then you are a parent or uncle and they’ll think you’re cool, again. They’ll even let you buy PlayStation games without judgement if you have a kid in tow!

            Abducting a child just to be able to buy PlayStation games is a bit extreme, but cool, got it! Thanks!

              Mazda 6 is solid as. Nice and comfy, with enough guts to overtake people that like to do 20 under on the freeway.

              Enjoy your ride mate :)

                I nearly bought one in 2007. It was between a Mazda 6 and a Pulsar. In the end, I went with the Pulsar because it was $2k cheaper, and all other things about the cars were pretty equal.

                My life circumstances changed over the next decade (had a family), and the Pulsar was a bit small for us by the end. I ended up wishing I’d gone with the Mazda.

                I think you made the right choice.

                  thank Christ. Still, find yourself a good mechanic. Dont take it to mazda for anything they are useless. Also there is a carplay upgrade you can do if its the current gen and doesnt already have it. LOL, wait, you didnt buy it from Hamish did you?

          smart choice! Everyone loves to bag them, but never heard a complaint from someone who actually owns one. only know people who regret selling them.

              Yeaaaaah nah, not worth it unless you’re making serious coin. And sadly I don’t think a Corolla will last just a while…I think your stuck with it till the heat death of the universe. They don’t die.

    I complained about being put on the spot, about me asking for her input and getting nothing and all after the day of crappiness yesterday, pointed out “sorry you feel that way” isn’t really an apology. And now i’m the bad guy, and shes gonna call and tell people we are not going.

    Great. Could’ve sat down and had a civil conversation about it rather than it become a fight and I sleep in the spare bed… Everythings gotta be a fight, and I am not into it.

      Flat as a tack. Unfortunately, I was the idiot who said yes to helping this morning. Oh, well, only 4 hours (not including getting up and travel…)

      A Tatts win? Wouldn’t that be nice.

        Four hours sounds lovely, I’m on for 12. Which means meal prep for two meals every shift, which gets a bit time consuming. A nice four hour shift you can generally get away with no meal prep at all!

    So after the bullshit day I’ve had, this fucking Christmas thing comes back up again. My brother in law kinda got up my and the Mrs sat there are just said nothing despite multiple requests for her input.

    Yeah… good thing we’ve got a couples therapy session coming up. To say I’m pissed off and hurt is an understatement.

    Wang Wang and Funi have returned home. I was fortunate to see one of them (I don’t know which one) chomping away on bamboo for an hour. A very surreal experience. 🐼🐼
