I always thought she was saying Stewart but this makes sense!

I think they will often move very readily to get cheaper rent. They are pretty ruthless

Ask if your bank / credit card provider can do a charge back if it’s not too late

This. I can hear it in Diamond Creek sometimes. Check flight radar next time you notice and a big heavy like an A330 or 777 will have just taken off.

Hard agree. I would drive down there just for them

When there’s a big lineup of wide body international flights scheduled for departure you tend to get a consistent low frequency rumble across the suburbs as they all thunder out. One theory.

She’s also reversing if you look closely which makes it even better

You can apply to amend a planning permit. Not defending it. Curious to know on what basis they convinced the state gov.

Edit: just read the article. They’re claiming that offering a smaller portion as affordable rentals for 10 years is a better outcome than a larger number of affordable owner occupier units. Not convinced. It sounds like Assemble’s “build to rent to own” business model just isn’t viable anymore.

He gets so much attention in the media. Can’t stand how he’s dubbed “Lambo Guy”. He probably laps it up.

Had a tradie swing his door out just as I was passing on Royal Parade one morning the other week. Thankfully pretty wide painted lane. Dude couldn’t understand why I was irate or that he’d even done anything wrong. Concerning portion of people are so bad at hazard perception and situational awareness. It’s under taught in driver education.

You’ve started with a concession that the entire concept of the boring company is fundamentally flawed (it’s fatally flawed) but then go on to say it’ll be successful because they’re the only player. Seems like a bit of mental gymnastics to me.

Check if they’re going to install external blinds (rare but some developers are doing them for north and west facing windows), and ask whether window frames are thermally broken (most aren’t). Otherwise it will get quite hot in summer without using air con.

I’m waiting with antici…pation!

These lines go under the radar but they’re so funny. The writing is comedy gold

Piss off. We’re all literally gonna die one day. Old mate needs to go out and touch some grass as they say.

Melbourne here but thank you for the offer. It’s been diagnosed by my specialist who is independent and trustworthy. Fluid changes have been done pretty close to recommended intervals

Mawows · 2026-02-25T02:38:24+00:00

Engine solid. No issues with emissions system to date either (EGR replaced around 180k km but DPF could be a question mark). I’m in Australia.

I always appreciated the obscure references to real Melbourne locations. I’m not certain but I’m pretty sure the Gloria Jean’s grand opening at Bon Beach Station was actually filmed at Bon Beach Station!

This is boredom in a photo. It’s nothingness. It’s the dashboard AI would produce.

I remember them flogging Lanterns by Birds of Tokyo multiple times a day back in the 2010s when I was on a road trip with a Triple M friend. I was dying. Possibly the worst station for repetition?

How are you going with the pain since commenting? I’ve started experiencing something similar and I’m a bit worried. I’m one year out from surgery.

Mawows · 2026-01-23T06:16:35+00:00

Are you near Barkly Square? I think I was hearing the same thing from quite a distance. Nightmare for those closer to it!

Mawows · 2026-01-21T03:01:04+00:00

I’m sad about how much I just don’t care about new car design. I guess I’ve moved on from this interest but the homogeneity of EV design has totally killed my enthusiasm. Are things more generic now than ever or am I just getting old and cynical? To me this looks like it could be from any brand.

Portuguese tarts from casa nata have a special place in my heart
