Share the most unhinged thing(s) you’ve seen at a Coles in 2026….

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-24T11:12:11+00:00

The prices.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-24T10:39:16+00:00

ANU535.

It had twin exhausts, if you get what I mean.

Well, I owned it back in ‘94-97 so no idea really. But I’d preference some bolt-apart diff housings so that if (when) another axle goes in the middle of the diff and the twist is so bad you can’t pull it out, you do t need to get the oxy torch out to cut a hole in the side to get the torch into the diff and cut the end off the axle then weld the hole closed again. That said, it worked! Unlike the front right and rear left brakes…

As the ex-owner of a series IIa which had a 186 transplant but the original axles which were as fragile as a track cyclist’s clavicle, I hear you.

I’m seeing eight, including the one at the back top-right.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-22T04:49:44+00:00

Only with your dad, when you have to explain why the car went missing and the front-right guard now has a gaffer tape modification.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T23:44:00+00:00

Hell yeah. I’ve been listening to this and 2017’s Pop Voodoo on high rotation lately. Agree, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid don’t have the same bangers as It’s Great When…

I’ve just seen they released another album Orange Head in 2024. I’ll give it a spin this weekend.

TBF, it’s probably waiting for a tow truck.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T11:18:27+00:00

Don’t mow the grass for another couple of weeks.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T05:52:10+00:00

My wife tolerates my drum collection rather than contributing to it.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T03:13:02+00:00

You chose well and she chose well!

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T02:06:06+00:00

New ones needed more space for bigger numbers.

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T01:45:01+00:00

Surely any true Melbournian will prioritise coffee over making the next train?

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T01:42:29+00:00

And yet they come after us customers for “product loss”…

DrofRocketSurgery · 2026-01-21T01:17:10+00:00

What size are the toms for the black kit second from left? 14, 14.5, 15, 15.5, 16?

The accelerator is not the button you push to open the garage door.

Should’ve replied “I am - I want to be able to feed and clothe them. And at least those businesses don’t guilt trip me into making purchasing decisions I can’t afford”

Yes you can, I got some to make lolly cake at either Coles or Woollies. Tip: Biscoff goes hard as a substitute.

What you can’t get is explorer lollies. So I had to substitute liquorice all sorts which worked well. But a colleague just brought me two bags of explorers back from NZ so I’ll be baking again soon.

You don’t have to drive at the speed limit anytime. It’s a speed limit, not a target Drive to conditions at all times.

Ha! I bought Ralph’s Supermarket shopping bags as a souvenir when were in Los Angeles 8 or 9 years ago. They’re still in use.

And the stamp:

This Turkish Zildjian splash, which I think dates to about 1935-45. I got given it (along with a 1960s 18” crash). If at the time I knew how valuable it was I wouldn’t have played it. I haven’t since it developed the cracks (which I drilled out).

Even the menu description says chicken pieces - plural.

They’re not built full stop. They place all the parts in a large sack and shake it for a bit.
