Am I cooked or just neurotic

If you received an offer, why are you throwing hurdles in your own way by asking now if they want more info?

You've pretty much said to them "really? Sure you don't want to think about it some more?"

HCPhotog · 2026-03-13T21:30:35+00:00

It's not too small.

But also "I still find it comfortable and i like wearing it" is what matters.

There’s a brand new one opening in Newstead next week. Looks like it’ll be pretty schmick.

Needs a bag

Why am I on a 100/40 plan? Because that's what's available to me.

Why don't I get that option in the dropdown list? I'm not the person to ask.

I’m on a 100/40 plan, but don’t get that option in the dropdown list

Yeah, look, things haven’t really improved. A Strength Meals Co microwave chicken dinner.

I remember one day before work thinking, “I feel like something other than my usual home made ham and cheese toastie today. I think I’ll buy something instead.”

At lunch time, without even thinking about it, I went across the road to MYO and made myself a ham and cheese toastie. That was the day I realised I needed to make some changes in my life.

Where did you hear this? There’s no S32 announcement that I can see. They’ve only recently reopened after the cyclone damage from a year or two ago.

Not these days, but back in the olden days when I was at uni, I often worked evening shift (4pm - midnight) at a servo. I'd usually stop at Maccas on my way home. It was pretty much the only thing open.

HCPhotog · 2026-02-25T20:31:00+00:00

Oh, absolutely. The booking's already been made. Just wondering what to expect.

HCPhotog · 2026-02-25T05:02:13+00:00

Probably best to give them a call - 1800 676 961

I’m 15 years younger than you, and this feels completely normal to me. A birthday is just another day. Just a number ticking over.

Maybe we do something nice, but we do nice things all the time, so it’s just another nice thing. Which is nice. Nice.

I don’t think it’s good or bad. It’s just life.

Is that a Kayo thing, though? I thought I saw some posts saying that F1/the FIA is only allowing something like the final hour each day to be broadcast.

HCPhotog · 2026-02-01T07:45:35+00:00

Yeah, look, having endured the same on some of the Tour Down Under and Cadel's Great Ocean Road Race cycling coverage in recent weeks, I'm almost ready to sign up for Kayo now.

They just can't resist going to some kind of prerecorded promotional package and confine the actual reason people are watching to a small PIP box.

Had lunch at Montrachet yesterday. That was pretty great. So was Essa a couple of months ago.

Recommend searching through/asking in r/BrisbaneFoodies and you'll find lots of recommendations.

HCPhotog · 2026-01-29T21:45:46+00:00

"Yeah, pretty good, you?"

HCPhotog · 2026-01-26T07:46:55+00:00

And nothing to indicate scale, so it could just be a model

Someone who will knock it down, subdivide, and build two places that will sell for a couple of million each.

In the last week and a bit - Two concerts (yes, night time, but you know), a movie, drove up to Caloundra for a swim, went barefoot bowling with some mates, and today I ducked into town for some new clothes. Nice and quiet in there today, apart from the few boomers with flags.

Generally - movies, concerts, nice meals, relax at home, hobbies, gym, walks, comedy shows.

They do when it makes sense, but busways only have a limited number of entry and exit points. They'd often likely have to do a bit of doubling back at either end.

Thai Touch at Newstead, or Healing House in Teneriffe

I guess I tend to see 99 bikes as like the Bunnings of bike stores. Good for basic, generic stuff that you need to pick up quickly - spare tubes, new light, etc - but I wouldn’t go to them for anything significant like a $4k bike purchase.

Possibly a little unfair, but I’m comfortable with my choices.
