Not a random event in our household, in fact I think its a learnt behaviour on her part, "daddy" is the cry for " I need a drink, a nappy change, and a few hours of being cuddled on the rocking chair"..her elder brother was the same but with mummy instead of daddy.

Mind you its a good time to catch on up on some AFF topics on the mobile device too.

After 8 years of my eldest waking almost nightly we have resorted to medication so he and the rest of the family can sleep.

I feel like a new person!

Guess who is getting a spot with the microphone during the Barossa trip

Let's hope the Princess doesn't mistake the rear exit door for the Ladies on the Bus - Bye Princess!

I am glad I am able to control my state of mind.

It is freezing outside. Person is wearing jumper. Get on train at Roma St Station/Milton Station and takes jumper off. Gets off at Toowong and puts jumper back on again. That is between 5-7 minutes.

I could not be bothered to go through all that trouble. There must be something seriously wrong with me because I see that and I freak at the pettiness.

And yes I do realise how my statement can be interpreted.

One thing I don't cope well with is changes in temperature from hot to cold and vv. I'd be taking the jumper off too.

My internal thermostat broke years ago.

From what I've seen, most times that a woman enters the male toilets is only because the line for the ladies' is unbearably long. It's not usually a "seen it wrong" or "need glasses" thing.

Now if a male enters the ladies' toilets, even by mistake, he isn't usually jeered, but usually in huge trouble.

It's petty to be comfortable, is it? I've heard everything now.

Without wanting to start such a sub-thread, my guess is the context of this otherwise somewhat isolated statement was political. Current events political, that is.

I have used the men's toilets - quite deliberately - for this very reason and have no issues in doing so - but when MrP has said it's empty of men.

I've seen the reverse of the above - attending the Boxing at Sydney 2000.

The male queue was endless. For some reason it was almost a female free zone didn't take long before it was a free for all.

The new Adelaide Oval has the balance right. At the cricket the queue for the men's loo was the same length as for the women. At the horrible AAMI stadium women had to allow 30 minutes for the loo break.

This weekend just gone, I spent Saturday & Sunday at the ice hockey. The atmosphere on Saturday was basically dead so on Saturday night, a few of us put our heads together looking to change that. Sunday was a lot better.

I picked up my first Australian league jersey, almost sent the Bear deaf (he may or may not have been hung over) & had a great time.

Next Saturday's game should be a cracker. Both Sydney teams are playing.



New jersey. Got a black Bears one on order & a couple of Ice Dogs ones too.



Erk & the Bear



Mucking around with a horn & a witches hat after the game.

There is no excuse for a queue to the male toilet. The most interesting situation I've seen was at Ballymore. Ladies using the male cubicles, men using the other available facilities.

Maybe they were Pommies and the cricket was giving them the runs - unlike what was happening on the Oval.

I may have done this two days ago. It's only done when there are no men around, and there is a long line of ladies.

Men are incompetent.

Beautiful! If you have time check out the Monolithic Church.
