Our refund recently on plastic water bottles was $30. Not bad for saving them and driving a few kms.

One of my nephews sporting club has a collection for bottles, they raise about $50-$100 per week and for any struggling sporting club, it adds up and the $ is more dependable than a Salim Mehajer sponsorship

Don't ever move address,

Found something I hadn't updated, the medicare card. I am sure I have talked to different areas of medicare but of course the different areas don't talk to each other so an old address remained.

They keep reducing the estimated temperature here in SA for the weekend. Does that count as climate change? And it’s going to be rather cool Sunday.

Warning: This post contains personal opinion, is not a wind up and hopefully no one offended.

Sat down to play pokies at casino last night and a lady sat next to me holding a glass of red next to me sipping every so often. Almost passed out. What a God awful stench. Thankfully she changed hands after a few minutes then moved over to next machine and then out to other machines.

I dont get pokies.

My F&P clothes dryer has lights and bells when you turn it on and press buttons. No different from a pokie machine and about the same amount of winnings for most.

We moved a year ago and my credit card statement still goes to the old address. Updated details with bank, rang them three or four times. In their system only our new address is visible yet it continues to go to the old address.

I had a similar problem with ANZ and went into a branch to fix it. Apparently my details were on a mystical "other database".

I also had NAB change my address to Ms Denali Surname, 123 Denali Street, Germany. It actually came to me via Germany. I had my $20 late fee reversed and then change to auto payments after that.

Wonder what caused her to move?

Beware overhead locker louts on international flights

I know a devout person who is muslim might pray 5 times per day, but are their set times for this?

I was walking past someone who was head down and I asked if they were OK, he didnt really answer and I said "Just having a moment?" and he nodded and smiled so walked away.

Now Im wondering if he was praying and I interrupted him but dont want to ask because religion is none of my business/he's not ill or needs assistance.

Sort of - there a five per day and the specific times relate to the position of the sun and so can vary depending one's location and season.

People can get apps for their smart phone to keep them up to date with these times.

Visit Istanbul and you’ll be there in no doubt as to prayer times ( very loud calls to
prayer from multiple minarets on multiple mosques) - think octophonic surround sound.

After 3 months there is this water coming down from the sky. Did Someone leave a sprinkler on? Mains water rupture?

Or Ramadan. They seem to be extra energetic when calling the end of fast.

I know it's really weird and I'm loving it even though I'm about to go out and vote

Wow, that was on the quite - was there any media about this prior?

and having sexual intercourse without consent.

Why the watered down legal jargon. Rape. Sexual intercourse without consent is rape.

Pet peeve, "Molesting" a child or minor is another word for rape.
