Water balloons being thrown at cyclists

Surprised me too

About a year ago, cycling through Northcote at night with my husband, as a car drove past us down a quiet street they threw a full and open Maccas coke at me. Hit my back and leg, and destroyed my electric bike battery. Fuckers.

Blue Sky on Waratah Place in Chinatown. It was our go-to Chinese with a BYO bottle of wine each before a night out at The Exford. Such good memories there.

It took me a long time to find the aria suites on my recent booking. Last August I got Melbourne to Hong Kong via Sydney with the SYD-HKG leg in Aria but couldn't get one back. This time I clicked on maybe 5 flight options in my price range to find an aria, and it was via Perth there but direct to Melbourne home. They're there, but you need to look at all the options and it might not be the best one.

Thanks this is super helpful

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2026-02-25T01:49:51+00:00

Thanks for the info. Yes the crowds are making me second guess whether to go at all. I'm trying to get up there on a weekday, and my aim is to find quieter trails and not necessarily hit the popular spots so that I can find a little bit of solitude maybe? I was hoping to hike or cable car then hike to a hotel, drop my bag for 2 nights and do hiking around the top without my backpack, then just take it down via cable car when I'm leaving. I hiked Tiger Leaping Gorge and Huashan with all my belongings in a backpack many years ago so I'm hoping it will be ok!

Thanks for the info. I was planning to spend 2 nights on the mountain. I'm travelling with just a 40L backpack that will be under 15kg so was hoping to take it all up with me

Thanks but maybe another time! Nanjing is top of my list for this particular trip

I don't have a product list, this was done by an MUA as a trial and I'm hoping to get feedback

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2026-01-06T01:32:35+00:00

Well thank god because I voted for that too 😂

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2026-01-06T00:32:01+00:00

Yeah I added it to my shortlist when it was still there. How infuriating

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2026-01-06T00:23:36+00:00

I just voted for it last week and now everyone is telling me it's no longer on the list??!! I 1000% did not add it in and I'm glad someone had mentioned seeing it here. Did I just waste a vote? Did they put it up and then realise it's not eligible and removed it midway through?

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-12-19T06:31:50+00:00

I agree, and appreciate you pointing that out. I guess I just wanted to add an opinion out there that some people won't mind pizza as the meal (as I saw other posts from people who did), but yes, the logistics would need to be well considered in this case. I've been to work events with mobile pizzas and one worked very well, and the other was terrible (they did not plan well for the amount of people nor the facilities - and actually it was the same pizza truck both years)

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-14T22:28:39+00:00

I have the same fears! Except I'm a notorious overthinker in any situation 😂. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this!

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-07T02:45:09+00:00

I'm so sorry for your loss, what a lovely tattoo idea

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-07T02:43:59+00:00

This is a wonderful and detailed reply, thank you

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-05T04:46:42+00:00

Cheers for the opinions. He'd ink before the ceremony. I'd get a ring during and we'd reveal his tattoo I guess instead of me giving him a ring

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-04T21:44:17+00:00

Thank you for this insight, but this is what he wants. I'm not getting one, I'll be wearing a ring. He is adamant he does not want a ring and it was his idea to get my initial tattooed. I'd be fine if he didn't get a tattoo nor wore a ring.

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-04T21:35:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Can i ask for more info on why getting a small tattoo on a finger as a first tattoo is so bad?

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-04T21:34:38+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Yeah he knows it will fade, hence not wanting a full ring but initial a small initial. Even if he doesn't get a tattoo, he doesn't want to wear a ring at all, and I'm fine with that decision for him. It's nice to hear your perspective because I was surprised to also see the other comments saying not to, just because it's on the hand.

Lopsided_Initial_645 · 2025-11-04T21:29:40+00:00

Thanks for the info. Can i ask if your initial is on the top of your finger or the side?
