The totally off-topic thread

I'm sure there are many AFFers who have the same 'spider rule' I do; if I see you, you die!'.

Not in this household.

What was the reward for a male vs femaleFunnel web?

No difference in those days.

 

[Denali]

If the spider isnt an immediate threat to my life (ie funnel web, red back ect), I leave them alone. Only once found a red back and sorry, it was flamed with aerosol.

Ive shared our laundry for many years with various huntsmen - only when they come into the rest of the house do they get a talking to.

 

[Pushka]

We get lots of red backs in SA. Especially around swimming pools. They don’t freak me out when I find them but I do get rid of them.

Every now and then in my life I have chosen to walk away as a customer of a company. One of the first was AMP. Seems I was right to do that....

I walked away from AMP many years ago as a super customer and went to an industry super fund

And try telling that to a Macedonian

Of the Slavic variety? Macedonia is, was and will always be Greek. I was born in Macedonia. The Greek state that comprises the majority of Northern Greece.

The first Slavic people did not migrate into the Balkan peninsula until the 6th century. Cyril and Methodius gave them the Cyrillic language in the 9th century.

Alexander the Great was around in the 4th century BC around 1000 years before the first Slavic people were seen in the area.

I am grateful the Greeks are fighting so that history is not rewritten.

I think I've posted this before, Huntsman and lot's of babies! They all disappeared including mum, which we were glad about, didn't fancy having to catch all of them to put outside!




I try to only move redbacks, unless MrsC says the huntsman it too big and has to go outside as well.

@JohnK
Can you please give a perspective on the population exchange between Greece and a turkey in 1925

 

[JohnK]

Bit like Baklava. The Greeks say they invented it. The Turks say they invented it.

The Ottoman Turks "borrowed" a lot from the Byzantine empire they destroyed.

And that is the thing they did best. Destroy things. Oh and commit genocide.

Depends on your status

On a lighter note, my laundry is done!
There is one floor tile that is awaiting removal of door and shaving thereof.





There are also curtains to go up but just waiting for white tiles to dry. I’m way too ashamed to show the original. And the black power outlet will be replaced by a nice one when the electrician swings by.

And painting touch up. I started two weeks ago!

At the far left there is a laundry chute from the bathroom of the second story which is kinda cute.

It’s an old 1929 Tudor. Huge. And is about to get a massive Reno (even a wall is going) before sale next year. Total cost this job - around $3800. Plumber and cabinets being the highest. And my labour doing the tiling.

By the time I’d finished I almost wished I could start again as I’d worked out so many little tricks. Nah. Not really.

 

[Quickstatus]

Correct brand of clothes washer.

Only LTS sadly.

Ah but you get 1x32kg

Hang on....

CBR-SYD if in a Dash is 1x23kg for all Pax

 

[get me outta here]

I just tried to 'trick' QF chat into letting me get away with 2 freebies, no dice. They said a silver gets 32kg. I've often been on a Dash8 with more than 23kg.

Depends on the payload at the time.

Family and money is fraught with danger: ‘You trust your children, don’t you? But it’s cost us everything’
