  1. Ive done a few before (not for City). Basically just sit around for an hour and answer questions in a casual setting, piss easy money, especially the group interviews where you only talk for a total of 5 mins.

    TTIM: The cost of printer ink.

    Went to refill the parents printer ink for them the other day and could not believe how ridiculously expensive it was.

    $140 bucks to replace 4 cartridges when you can buy a new laser printer for $80. Anyone work in the industry or know why that shits so expensive?

    TTIM : The waste of money that is the women's afl league. 

    Jesus this shit is terrible, can we just all admit that it's shit and invest more in the men's side tyvm. 

    We can still have women involved in afl though dw,  such as being cheerleaders. 

    I dont really have anything against the AFL putting money into it, I see it as a good investment for the game overall. One of the reasons the AFL gets a better TV deal than NRL is because of the high female audience. 

    But the quality of the game itself is pure trash, and if anything its probably condescending to women that the only reason it gets an audience is because its women playing it rather than a men. Probably applies to all women sport actually. 

  4. I was at the Las Fallas fireworks festival in Valencia where a group of 100 or so of us were dancing below some dude spinning tunes from his balcony. Somebody then shot a firework at the DJ and into his house, then we had multiple fireworks land into the crowd. Was one of the more abrupt finishes to a party that Ive been to.

    More open space is the QoL improvement here. The rest is just replacing an unviable building with a viable one. 

     

    Apple is footing the bill for demolition and construction as well as renting the new building. 

    Having seen the design Im not 100% on board with it, I think they should have done something better to fit in with the rest of the quirky look of Fed Sq.

    $16bn for by far the worst route possible for the NEL, construction costs have gotten even more ludicrous under Labor government.

    Option D looks the worst to me, goes out into farm land and doesn’t serve as much of the population as the others do. B and C appear better than the final choice, but I don’t really know the area that well.

    Just hope to god the corrupt fucker Matthew Guy doesn’t get in and we end up with those ugly underpasses he wants to build everywhere. 

  7. Nasonex and Zaditen eye drops work 95% of the time for me, although 3 days on the golf course last weekend and I was pretty destroyed at the end of it. 

    Plane Trees are actually all being removed over the next 20 years and being replaced by drought resistant trees in Melbourne, so there is relief in the long term.

    Geez Labor and the Greens must be losing their shit over the stats breakdown. 9 of the top 10 no voting electorates held by Labor (other is National) and most of the no vote electorates are from the more multicultural areas.

    The racist, bigoted, privileged old white people have fucked them over again!

    Guessing theres a large amount of tradies in those electorates?

    Lol.

    look as you're from vic/wa I understand that you may not get (nor care) that rugby league and rugby union are two completely different games and have been for over a century, but if you were writing about them for a living I'd expect you to understand.

    see the green jersey in the photo? That's a kangaroos jersey. Go to a wallabies game and you'll see our team play in gold.

    In 1908 rugby league broke away from rugby union and they've been separate ever since. They are a bit similar though and that's why there are so many duel internationals.

    have you wondered why we have both the Melbourne Storm and the Melbourne Rebels? They play two different games.

    google is your friend.

     

    Good thing about being from WA and avoiding concussions from not playing either league or rugby is I still have a few braincells left that allow me to comprehend a news article.

    I am. Also I think i know who the shit reader is.

    The article has rugby league in the title, it mentions rugby league about 5 times, it refers to the game of rugby league played last night, it has a picture of the Kangaroos (our national rugby league team since 1908). 

    So who can't read articles properly?

    I think you're drunk

    TTIM:

    Shit Journalism.

    Click on an ABC story about the Rugby League World Cup only to get a few lines in and giving up after they refer to it as "Rugby" (that's rugby union) and then refer to it as "the game they play in heaven" (rugby union again). 

    Now I get that a Melbourne cabby wouldn't know or the care about the difference between these two games but when you have been paid to write about it surely you'd get your facts right? Also was the editor on holidays?

     Unfortunately for the abc, readers outside of Melbourne will see this "article".

    Are you talking about this article?

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-27/richard-hinds-rugby-league-world-cup-do-fans-care/9089298

    It seems to me the journalist is in fact referring to Union and not League. First paragraph refers to soccer fans, then union, then AFL fans attitudes.

    Precisely. I didn't care either, because in my ignorance I didn't realise that connection would ultimately be compulsory because the old copper network will in due course be removed. I have no need for extra internet speed, therefore no need to change from what provided me with a perfectly adequate and reliable internet and telephone service. Now I have neither.

    FTTN is actually still using the existing copper network for the 'last mile' which is what the NBN was supposed to be replacing due to majority of the copper network in Australia being completely shot and past its use by date....to achieve speeds only slightly better than what one could already get off ADSL. (And also adding nodes in every 3rd street of the country which means more devices to look after and more things to go wrong)
