The totally off-topic thread

I dont get modern art. Artist to be buried under road for three days

But, its a interesting housing concept for burnt out Sydney people.

Stupid and self indulgent. Even the arty set in Hobart is calling it stupid. So the Hobart City Council approved the closing of the main thoroughfare in Hobart to bury the thing, and will close it again to get it out. Pity their multi story car park keeps malfunctioning. Once it trapped cars there overnight and last week it was for a few hours.

That said, Hobart and Tas owe Mona and Dark mof_ a hellavalot, so we can forgive them this one.

Dark mof_ is coming soon: Dark mof_ (If your screen goes grey, you are probably using IE. try Chrome ... and HANG ON! The sound button is in the bottom LH corner).

I'm not so much into all that sort of stuff, but the Winter feast has been extended again, and that's just an orgy of good food and drink, with lots of fire pits, BBQs and candles.

I don’t know, but with a working phone why not call police direct?. Rather than take a selfie send to friend, who calls the parents who call police?

A phone call, he can quickly smack the phone out of your hand and youre left trapped with him and theres no guarantee the police will follow through.

A photo text can be sent quickly and it gets to someone that hopefully will act quickly, although her friend seems as silicon dumb as she is, to not contact police herself immediately but send it to a non english speaking parent.

Seems like a co-narcissistic relationship - glad she came to her senses about him. A lot of women are beaten many times for them to leave, if ever. A lot of women end up dead.

Before today I thought the worst thing about buffets was unattended small children picking over everything.Today I added little old ladies with Zimmer frames to that belief.

The worse thing about buffets is sharing them with <peoples where culturally western type manners may be perceived to be optional>.

How long are you in Sydney?

Why do people not understand there is usually an obvious buffet line which move in one direction.

......

thought weekend would start earlier but alas it’s the punishment for making plans on a Friday.

Bazza is a free spirit. Free Bazza!

Bazza is going through a second childhood?

Bazza is free. We are all free. Aussies sure know how to party on a boat at night for the Captains Party. Oh my.

Greed! Selfishness! Arrogance! Choose any 2....

very happy to hear that all is well in the world of Bazza - just perhaps not so in the world of others ??

It is around breakfast time. Will be interesting to see who surfaces.

Lana our Croatian guide said she’d never seen so many people dancing. Anita the housekeeper was in hysterics when we all started dancing and clearing the tables for her when she said she couldn’t dance with us until it was done. Ivan the bar tender led us around a conga line throughout the ship. Sadly I seemed to have knocked over a fixture in the seating area in doing so. Great night.

What about the 69800 years of our nation before the invasion by the poms?

Why should “us” taxpayers pay for inbread German/Greek (American) “ royalty” to come here at our expense and ponce about while our politicians forelock tug?

Or the other few thousand years of invasion by the Romans, Vikings, Saxons etc.........
I agree though, we should go down the Republic route, look how well its working for South Africa, Zimbabwe, the USA, to name just a couple.

We're doing a weekend away at an Airbnb with some friends and EVERYONE has brought their slippers.

I mean, it's cold up here (going be 0° tonight), but it's like, damn, we're in our 30s, and we've all brought our slippers on holiday.

We took ugg boots to Scotland and will be taking them to Iceland, but Im now into Ugg moccasins for comfort.

As I HATE hubby wearing them when when the tread starts wearing, we left our old ones in Scotland.

Which reminds me, anyone a size UK11/29cm sole? I have a brand new/never worn aussie Ugg moccasins in natural brown to give away - hubby didnt like them and I cant be bothered returning.

I agree, where I work we have a 24 hour buffet for staff and some people are just stupid. Get in get your food and move on. There were party pies recently and some staff got in for their fill and piled their plates high.

No problem lots more to come. But once you've got them move on, don't stop there and talk about how many you can eat. There are other staff waiting to get their meal.

I must admit it reminded me of a Qantas Club seagull swoop.
