    Sees person wearing Neil Young & Crazy Horse tour shirt…“Hey that’s a great shirt, I went to that concert. Do you like Neil Young and Crazy horse, are you going to see them this time?”. I don’t know the band I got it in a vintage shop

    Never. Felt. Older.

      Wish I’d kept mine. Some op shop got a total bargain.

      I make sure my daughter knows 3 songs of the band before she wears a band shirt.

        😂 MissGod raids my band shirts all the time. Doesn’t give a rats about who they are or what they play. after all it’s just a shirt with an interesting graphic.

          My educational ways pays off because when someone did ask “oh what’s your favourite Led Zeppelin song” she was able to bluff something out.

      It wasn’t too bad when the sun was up but it’s gotten muggier now. Still nice with a fan or breeze though. Nights like this remind me of Brisbane. Tuesday looks steamy

    Hey! Thanks CEO.

    So we’re four days into a ten-day visit to South Australia. First two days were in the CBD and I have to say that whilst the hospy folk are friendly, the general population are indifferent and rude…no spatial awareness or common street courtesy at all. They will literally walk into you rather than give way a little to avoid a collision. Had one oblivious guy carrying an open umbrella down low and so focussed on his phone that he pushed us into oncoming traffic. Twat.

    Took a tram to Glenelg, which is basically SA’s St. Kilda and everything you’d expect it to be.

    An hour’s drive to the Barossa yesterday. We’re in Tununda and had lunch at Maggie Beer’s pheasant farm eatery. Great spot, lots of birds to check out in a kind of mini zoo, but at $90pp for what was essentially a menu of various cabbage and lettuce leaves, a chunk of homemade bread, carrot puree and a smidge of a lamb or chicken slices, I did feel it was a bit of a rip off and profiteering based on her brand.

    We’re off to McClaren Vale in the morning, then finishing off with two days on Kangaroo Island, then homeward bound. I thought that SA had a rep for decent weed but we’ve found nothing, so looking forward to our small stash at home next week :)

      I’ll probably be booed out of the state for this, but I found people in Sydney to have a lot more common courtesy than here. The main difference I noticed is that people were generally really good about letting everybody get off before getting on the train, where as here nobody gives a shit and just pushes through the people trying to get on like the train is about to leave without them

      I didn’t know Glenelg was st kildary, I didn’t know Adelaide had anything like that, but I’m curious now so might go check it out while I’m there.

    I need to get away for a few days maybe to think about life etc but I have a needy anxious cat that I don’t want to leave. Difficult situation when you’ve got no family and no social connections.

    I get why people don’t leave abusive relationships….

    Ventured into the city today with the fam.

    Vic market and all that…

    The group of Wannabe gangsters Melbourne central was cringe as fuck.

    Walking through them and smiling was satisfying as fuck.

    I put sensible, puncture resistant tyres on the trailer pram and of course it gets a puncture through the sidewall somehow.

    Time to get new tubes and put the silly green BMX tyres I bought on it

    I did that thing when you accidentally pour too much scotch in the glass but I drank it all and now I’m buzzing
