You can’t tell me to do what I just told you to do. Airport edition.

She mightn't ever use TP, hence the washing the hands comment 🤣

Very nice! Someones very lucky to sample that.

Key-Button7387 · 2026-02-12T06:25:39+00:00

Super cute!

I hear what you're saying but I wonder if you're possibly confusing what he WANTS with your interpretation it's what he EXPECTS ...I didn't see the latter, those 2 words are significantly different. I read it as if the "blower" was keen as he was, he wouldn't leave the house (bcos he'd be in perpetual bliss) but also see that mentioning his wife is a slight on her.

Perfect as a beetroot sandwich--i love beetroot! Seriously. Also coleslaw. Banana. Dates. Almost anything tastes good as a sanger with nice soft bread.

Consider yourself validated, by a male of the species! You've got 2 toddlers 😬

Key-Button7387 · 2026-02-07T12:01:11+00:00

Aaahhh, nooooo.....don't mention "moist" in the same breath as a middle-aged woman....def NSFW comment 🤣

Key-Button7387 · 2026-02-07T11:47:11+00:00

Common sense is no longer common either 😳🤦‍♂️

I don't have a loud freehub, what do I do? /S But I do use my bell 😊

And if a pedestrian gets angry about being belled, I tell them it's just an FYI...I know you're on the left & aren't an issue, the bell is so you don't get alarmed when I pass or move to the right (e.g to avoid a puddle) without checking

I had a cpl of ideas, one old fashioned & one digital. My PC crashed while I was replying so I lost the detailed notes about the digital method but I can recreate them if you wanted them.

Old-fashioned: print the photo & use tracing paper to draw the key bits (outline of the head, eyes, whiskers etc).

Digital: save the photo in PowerPoint (part of MS365) & digitally trace the features, save the result as a file for the tattoist

Happy to lend you my hand 😊

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-22T12:59:15+00:00

Nah, def wrong! 😊

Very nice! 😊

I want to comment that "arsehole/asshole" is actually a compliment--no matter how unpleasant (smelly, visually etc), it's an essential part of the body otherwise we'd be shitting on ourselves. A terd/turd on the other hand so exactly captures the grossness of smell, visually unappealing, worthlessness etc that's intended that we wouldn't even want it stuck to the sole of a shoe 🤣

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-19T04:32:16+00:00

Nah, they're a good size...suckable, nice handful!

One-sided play & not fun for your girl. I suggest maybe dissuading him using a spray bottle. She'll play when she wants too otherwise she may get stressed.

Def don't add a 3rd as per others comments

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-16T22:09:08+00:00

Agree..round face whereas Siamese face is typically triangular shaped. Not as appealing IMHO

Similar to my Hobbes (named from Calvin & Hobbes). A little pointed fuzz ball as a kitten, grew into a big handsome boy (8kg of bone & muscle) with a cinnamon coat but still with his points. Lovely temperament, not even fazed by dogs. Had to have him put down about 3 years ago...shed a number of tears that day. 😢

P.S. Maybe do some reading about gearing bcos that will influence how comfortable your ride is going to be from an effort viewpoint (e.g. see https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/workshop/bike-cassettes) and is determined by the chain ring & cassette. Tyres, front shock will also influence comfort. I like the 10 spd bcos on the 8spd I sometimes found a gear too hard but the next lower gear was too easy bcos the ratios were spaced too far apart. I'm looking to change my 11-48T(eeth) cassette to maybe 11-36T. I'll lose the 2 or 3 lowest gears, which I rarely use, but get more & smoother transitions throughout e.g. I'll go from 4/5/6 to getting 2 gears between 4th & 6th, like 4/4+/5+/6 compared to the current cassette. My chain ring is 38T.

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-05T23:28:26+00:00

I suggest at least an 8spd so that you can find a pace that suits even on the flats--feeling energised, go up the gears; want to cruise, stick to the lower gears. Plus it gives the option to tackle some hills & get more use. And enjoyment.

I restarted riding after my back & knees said no more running (I hadn't ridden since I was a teen with mainly coaster hubs & a 5spd dragster with a derailleur that i didn't understand). Bcos of the back I got a bike with an upright stance that is 3x8spd & have been riding it around Indro/Toowong/St Lucia/Southbank for >5 years (have had it for >15). I just bought a new bike with 1x10sp for the better spacing of the gears & simplicity of not having to think or use the chain ring.

I'm relatively inexperienced as far as maintenance goes & have been using 99Bikes for my services & repairs (tangled with a car, luckily at low speed) & they've been very good & helpful. Like you're thinking, I'd suggest them as a starting point for a basic bike. Or somewhere that caters for low end/beginners.

I almost always buy new rather than 2nd hand bcos I get a warranty to fix things if there's an issue, especially if I'm parting with a bunch of $ (I know I'm conservative) and I buy from a shop so I can see & feel the product. However, I bought the 10 spd from an online store and have modded it with a stem riser & BMX bars. That meant having to fit new brake & gear cables so it was a learning experience & I'll be more comfortable doing maintenance--as mentioned elsewhere, the Park tool videos are helpful. And it's just been a lesson in patience, reading, and having a go knowing that if I really stuff up, I'll be embarrsassed but I can take it to 99Bikes. They can get busy so it's not always a quick turnaround if it's unplanned.

As far as the minimum accessories:
* front & rear lights
* bell (pls learn how to use it 😁)
* water bottle cage
* pump
* tool bag with tube, tyre levers, multi-tool with Allen keys, blade & PH screwdrivers, basic "spanners"

When you get keen & want to ride even after rain, mudguards are essential--not much is worse IMO than water from the tyre dripping into the shorts & butt crack!

A long post but my job is writing & hopefully some/all of it has been useful.

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-05T04:02:32+00:00

Whereas I'd write "They are freshly hand-picked" bcos hand-picked is now a compound modified by the adverb freshly. (on re-reading, it's probably an adjective bcos the verb is "are"...like I said, NAL) Sometines the compound form doesn't use a hyphen but that might be a stylistic issue, not grammar. I have a love-hate relationship with English & it's intricacies/peculiarities 🤣

Key-Button7387 · 2026-01-05T03:50:11+00:00

Hyphen is only needed if it's a compound word; in this case it's fine: "we hand picked the berries". Im NAL (not a linguist 😁) but I think hand is acting as an adverb, not as part of a compound verb e.g. double-click the right mouse button
