You'd be spewing! They could be anything in a couple of months, not sure if you've seen their latest announcements?
I'm betting that's a massive deposit.

I was washing my beanies and blankets and I always hang the beanies up and put the blankets in the dryer to not shrink or damage the beanies.

Yet when I pulled the blankets out of the dryer my favourite Collingwood beanie had gotten caught up and ended in the dryer.

My worst fears imagined, it’s shrunk

Lol,

Had a very enjoyable pat 7 days, which I'll write about when I'm home on the PC, but this arvo was a blip.

Up in Toc, rained all day yesterday, nice today, so mid arvo thought I'd clear a blocked downpipe which resulted in accidentally ripping the old galvanized fkn pipe clean off. :evil:

Then it starts raining again.

Quick trip to cobram for a 3m length of 90mm poly pipe and a 22.5 degree elbow, fitting it up is job for tomorrow morning before I head home.

Umpires "putting away the whistle" or "being red hot" on something. There's nothing more infuriating than when umpires have been "letting something go" only to finally ping us for it at a crucial stage of a game. It's very simple if the rule book says it's a free kick pay it. Don't just pay free kicks when you feel like it. Secondly this business of "putting away the whistle" in finals disadvantages teams that rely on high pressure and high tackle counts.

Mowed the back lawn this morning before the rain came in. Nearly finished, the mower suddenly went Bang and started shaking like a shithouse rat.

Turned it off and found one of the blades had come off. Fkn 4 stroke piece of shit, it's been running like a chaffcutter for ages, tip it on it's side to work on the blade I'm going to have the sump oil go everywhere.

Put it in the shed and bought a new Victa 2 stroke. I might pull the old one apart one day and hook the motor up to a skateboard or something fun.

Red light cameras.

Few weeks back, coming home from a early doctors appointment, followed a slow poke through an amber right turn arrow.

$434 fine and 3 points because apparently the light turned red 0.7 seconds before I went through. Utter fkn bullshit.

Red light camera I can accept.

Bullshit speed camera, fixed and the rear firing mobile ones are just a revenue raising joke. When you have to spend more time watching your dashboard and the shoulder 500m away, rather than the road you're driving on, something is wrong.

A group of complete scum were racist to my beloved at the pub. It didn't end well for them. Mother effers won't be doing that again for a while. No violence, just a fitting humiliation. Breathe. Calm. Dismiss.
In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.
