The totally off-topic thread

Nor I suspect owned a cat.

Correct.

I have enough problems taking care of myself.... err.... I should say my parents have enough problems taking care of me....

 

[Hvr]

You're both very sweet, but alas I am single. and I'm in my 20s (just).

So just could mean just turned 20 or just about to turn 30.

Just another ordinary weekend - walking around house hunting checking out a back lane in suburban Melbourne and I find "Roo"
+1 called animal rescue


Spent a bit of the arvo helping the animal rescue team catch skippy, hope he is ok

11K is a lot for an oven... I just bought this Smeg in white ($3284) for my new kitchen being installed this week

Good point... I took it as being ~21

For me, I'm just hoping that when I have my own place, the cook tops will be gas.

Only thing with gas is I might have to learn how to cook almost all over again, as I'll probably end up burning the few pots and pans I get to start with.

Haha no, the top end of the 20s.

Took us a few weeks to decide on the benefits of a gas versus induction cooktop... went with gas in the end but induction has some good features.

Having met you at the last Christmas Do, I wouldn't have suspected you to be around my age; indeed, I had thought you much younger!

Of course, it doesn't help that most people overestimate my age. Don't know what is with that (although some people say it's my behaviour).

 

[JohnK]

Oh and my luggage arrived yesterday and all appears to be OK.

After 11ish years in a house together with electric hotplates, a gas stove was an essential for me with this place (well, apart from not on a flood plain!). Mr Katie has only accidentally left a hot plate on once or twice with gas. With electric he left them on far more frequently ...

Hard to get a decent husband who always cooks a delicious dinner *and* manages to not burn the house down each night!

After an extensive search effort and tough, multi-stage recruitment process, it seems like you've found the best man for the position. :mrgreen:

Great investment.....do you upload to PVOutput?

It's been on 4 weeks tomorrow. It's rained pretty much non-stop over this period & it's still generated 568KWs. We've exported 80% to the grid - we will never pay for another power bill again + getting around $1,600pa in the sky rocket. Given we were paying $2,500 per year I couldn't be happier

Wow - yes, they are very efficient - grabbing every little bit of UV out of the sky! We've had plenty of cloudy days and rain, but not as much as the S-E corner.
We were a little higher for the yearly average (1x teen; 1x pre-teen, both of whom can turn something [anything…everything!!!] on but haven't quite mastered the art of turning OFF!) so I'm ecstatic with the last 2 bills having a decent credit balance…woohoo!
I'd never heard of PVOutput! Thanks for that - I'm looking into it now.

Good news - now you can stop wondering which new clubs to buy…

I may still buy a new set of clubs!

I have the Titleist AP1's which I like but the Titleist AP2's may well be worth an investment.

Guilty, in our old place... luckily Mrs Flashware never got burnt New place has gas, so 0 times so far

Heard you had hot water for showers too Flashware. Homes in the UK are getting real makeovers!
Apparently there are Ashes tickets still available down here seeing we may have a problem with our batting or bowling.
Maybe Australia should invade England so we can change the rules on the Ashes test cricket series.

I bathe twice a month, sometimes even when I dont need to.

Or which set of clubs on eBay were his lost ones.
