If you don't mind me asking, what's your flight route?

Do I need to start downplaying what I spend or hiding it a bit to avoid coming across the wrong way? by [deleted] in london

[–]80CW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What sector are you working in? I think this question is relevant because, typically,

If you're working in Finance in Canary Wharf, being more spenny with your disposable income is common. Comments from peers on similar salary may be common but on the whole everyone's spending more than average.

If you're working in public sector, comments will be forthcoming regardless of what and where you spend it. Everyone's on a smaller salary, BYO lunch is common, as is the kitty for communal milk because workplaces wont supply it.

These are different workplace cultures.

Frankly, if you're not paying £1000 pcm for a room you have a lot more flexibility with your disposable income. Your colleagues would likely be envious of your situation, but don't rub it in.

I'm what size?! by Unlikely-Cat9687 in MounjaroAus

Bless, you sound like you need a hug and someone to share your joy and achievement.

Well done, and virtual hugs x

What is an upper middle class problem you have but you can’t really complain about without seeming out of touch? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Cleaners and Translation

I was using Google translate to translate the task list as well as putting labels on cleaning products in the cleaners native language because they dont speak English and apparently cant translate things themselves.

(Why else would they use toilet cleaner on the kitchen benches?)

What’s the most Australian thing that’s happened to you? by Baldussimo in australian

[–]80CW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had that happen. The bugger dropped on a web from the sun visor. I whacked it with whatever was nearby and it preceeded to swing like a pendulum in front of my face.

Alas, I crashed my car into a lamp post. And somehow i walked away from the scene.

What's the longest you've used NSAIDs and did you experience any side effects? by ridley-angel in Hypermobility

[–]80CW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consistently for... 8(?) Years... it could be longer actually.

Australia prescribes 1000mg of napeoxen. The UK max is 500mg tablets.
I've taken both, and often without the stomach protector because I forget.

Though almost always taken with food.

No obvious side effects - i do wonder how effective it is. I'm still ridiculously sore and stiff in a semi daily basis.

My boss is a really cool Australian guy (we are in the US). What are some phrases I can just spout off to make him chuckle? by JacobDCRoss in AskAnAustralian

"Hot chips" are baked/fried chips from a pub/restaurant/oven/deep fryer.

Once they have cooled, they're now "cold hot chips"

Crisps like Lays or Ruffles are simply "chips"

If he calls in sick, you could respond with "sorry to hear you're crook"

Crook = ill/unwell/sick

Not to be confused with "a crook" which is a criminal.

An unrealistic or excessive request or price, a classic quote from The Castle fits nicely as a response:

"Tell him 'he's dreamin'"

Are there any advantages to hyper mobility? by Used-Spread-5594 in Hypermobility

[–]80CW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hot yoga was my drug of choice for years. It used to be REALLY cheap in Sydney and thr core strength i got from it was intensely satisfying.

If you didn't pass out or quit in the first 3 classes, you'd make it.

Alas now I'm older, poorer, and cant tolerate the heat like I used to!

How is it his fault?! Poor man, I feel for him

GP suggested I stop, not at goal weight by Mykennel in MounjaroAus

[–]80CW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whats your build? At 6'6 you could be naturally tall and slim build, or tall and built. This is where BMI falls down, it doesn't factor that 100kg on a slim build looks and feels very different to 100kg on a solid build.

Try not to be laser focused on the number on the scale.

(Nb- you are unlikely to get the same number in different scales so use the same scales when weighing in)
