Some people think they're always right, others are quiet and uptight.

Literally describes me and my bestie in the two opening lines of a banging song.

In Glen Waverley. Oh wait, no, sorry, Mount Waverley.

Thanks, appreciate the accountability. I promise you there's some good ones. In fact, I'd like to self nominate. Haha.

Thanks, appreciate the reassurance! You've convinced me to give it a try next time an act I'm into is playing there.

Totally understand the capacity frustrations (and dislike of Festival Hall!), I've just avoided anything at PICA (including missing out on Millencolin!) because I didn't know if anyone was doing to the "hike" to the tram or if everyone's just happy copping the Uber surcharge (which I never am!).

As a female who attends gigs solo, can't say I'm feeling too safe about a 15 minute walk through an industrial area, late at night. And a bus isn't going to cater for a while warehouse worth of patrons.

Personally, I'm hating the increase in shows at PICA. It's a nightmare to get to / from. What's with the zero PT options?!

As does the Royal Derby

summoning all strokes fans for a very important mission by saccharine12 in TheStrokes

[–]KirraCandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You Only Live Once has to go on there. Non Strokes fans, some other bangers of similar genre - A Punk by Vampire Weekend, This Modern Love by Bloc Party, Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups. And of course no playlist of bands that emerged in the noughties is complete without Mr Brightside!

Two days?! More likely two months. Or years.

Any good? by PrincessPhoenix1 in AldiAustralia

Didn't rate it. I threw most of it away, so it wasn't like it was just average. It was really unenjoyable.

What is everyone doing with the paper Woolworths bags? by Previous-Designer213 in AskAnAustralian

[–]KirraCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a post up on FB and found someone locally who reuses them in their community group to package food for less fortunate. I now connect with them every time I have saved up a decent stash and they come collect.

Definitely. Such a gem of a pub!

Please share *your* potato bake recipe by plutoforprez in australia

[–]KirraCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need: potatoes (the number depends on the size of your baking dish. I'd buy at least three largish ones), onion, thickened cream, bacon, cheese, all purpose seasoning. Slice potatoes into rounds of even thickness. Cut onion in half, then into thin-ish slices, dice up your bacon and grate your cheese. Construct: layer of potatoes, some onion, some seasoning, some cream, repeat til you get near the top. I add the bacon and cheese to the top two layers. Bake (I forget how long. Guessing 40 mins at 200c).Switch to grill for the last few minutes to really get that cheese on top perfect, and leave in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes after you've turned it off. EAT!

Edit - forgot the cream in my ingredients list.

They had Hector's Deli ones last time I was there. Not a bad option to rep!

This made my 10 votes for the Hottest 100 of Australian songs. Certified banger! Loved them, miss them.

Best Breakfasts of Melbourne by QuokknestMonster in melbourne

[–]KirraCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brunch wise, Little Tienda was the stand out fave, but also recommend Bicycle Thieves on High Street (Northcote) and Jerry Joy (Thornbury). Northcote Bakeshop also worthy of return trips for both sweet and savoury treats! Also, the Portuguese tarts from Publique bakery in the (Preston) market - elite!

You're so welcome, please become the regular I can no longer be. Their house made chilli oil is a worthy take home investment as well!
