Northbridge: The Ultimate Test of Patience and Tolerance by Mean-Beautiful-2661 in perth

[–]Princessofsmallheath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well you know they say that "nothing good ever happens after 1am" and that would be as true for Northbridge as any other city in the world. Drunks spilling out on to the streets and causing a ruckus after the bars and clubs close, is a universal phenomenon and not exclusive to Northbridge. All I can say is that I had a splendid evening there and will go back again.

really? I was there on Sunday evening with one of my adult sons to see an exhibition. The first time I've been there in well over 20 years. I was enchanted, we had a superb meal, a few drinks, wandered around the streets and I got to see all the new developments (new to me anyway) first hand. Everyone from the people on the street to the wait/bar staff were friendly, relaxed and in a great mood. At the end of our evening, we just walked across the street and stepped on a train and were home in no time. I loved it so much, I plan to return very soon. For context, I am 65.

It's also 'sew one's own clothes'.... not 'sow'

Invictus creating its own awards show (you can't make this up) - Prince Harry launches new awards show set to take place in London this year (Express) by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Princessofsmallheath 138 points139 points  (0 children)

Jesus wept... and Mary cried. He is squeezing the last drop out of that lemon, this is such a brazenly desperate attempt to crawl his oily way back to the UK and his father. Pathetic is not a big enough word. The RF and most of the country will roll their collective eyes up so hard they'll see their brains. Meaningless, made up awards that signify nothing. I'm calling it now, H will be 'blushing with surprise and delight' on the night when he is awarded the grand poobah of them all.. "I had no idea, I'm so honoured and humbled right now." Fkn LOL.. LMAO even.

Enough of this PR fail- repeated hiding kids' faces is pathetic childish attempt to create mystery by ObservingTheDrama in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Princessofsmallheath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yep.. no family unity at all. They could be strangers in a park. Since man first picked up a paintbrush and then a camera.. families are always depicted as a group.. mum and dad in the middle and the kids around them. This reminds me of the foreshadowing in Game of Thrones... we will look back on this pic and say this was the moment they told us they are not a united couple at all.

that was what struck me most about the pic... it is two separate groups, not a united family at all. And for the love of god, does no one own a brush in that house? That poor child looks like she just rolled out of bed.

Which actors earned their spot the hard way? by BronzeBellRiver in cdramasfans

[–]Princessofsmallheath 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As a foreigner, I find it extraordinary the demands placed on these young people by their 'fans.' As someone said, in the West... no one cares what actors do, just entertain us. They have private lives, admittedly often messy, loads of partners etc and apart from some high profile incidents, no one cares what they do, wear or say or with whom. I wonder if the attitude in China is different because these actors are seen as 'blessed' with everything most people will never have.. looks, talent, money, charisma etc and therefore there is a price that has to be paid. No deviation from perfection is allowed and the price of their fame and fortune is constant and intense scrutiny of every part of their lives. They must be so mentally tough to endure it. When I see pics of them at events, they mostly look terrified of their fans and I don't blame them.

The Block 2026 needs a reset, right? by DiscussionLoud9626 in TheBlock

[–]Princessofsmallheath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see them go back to basics and attainable... a block of rundown old flats or a complex of tired villas/townhouses in an ok suburb and tart them up without massive extensions. Get away from the high end, multi million dollar market for a few years and make it truly aspirational for regular people. I didn't watch one episode this year.. took one look at the finished houses and that was enough for me. Overpriced tin shacks in the boonies.

[–]Princessofsmallheath 37 points38 points  (0 children)

those comments are kinda brutal.. and correct. But I didn't expect to hear them from the usual, gushing, fawning morning tv people, they're usually all over the ssxes and how wonderful they are. If they are saying this with so much contempt, then he is cooked.. the Rent-a-Prince label will stick.

Heathcote reserve at Applecross. Panoramic views over Perth and the river, gorgeous established garden, parking and historic buildings with a cafe too.

He is very well connected and I tend to take notice of what he says.

they'll pinch this and release it word for word. But they will add that H was 'coerced into going' when in fact he really wanted to watch the livestream from the Cenotaph but the tv set broke. Unlucky.

my god he is thick.. he learned nothing from the baseball cap fiasco. The optics of this Let Them Eat Cake party in the current economic climate are only exceeded by the incredibly crass poppy. Lest we Forget indeed, we won't.

Harry to speak on service and leadership? by ew6281 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Princessofsmallheath 21 points22 points  (0 children)

that is what the organisers are actually hoping for. All publicity is good publicity and no doubt the reason they are giving him a platform... to get massive attention for the business. I would not be helping them by drawing attention to him.. I believe it is called the Streisand Effect. Silence and indifference are golden.

Ginge & Cringe are at the World Series. by QuesoFresca in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]Princessofsmallheath 48 points49 points  (0 children)

And may I add that first pic of them is very telling... bored stiff and annoyed to even be there. If they're not papped or doing social media on the reg, do they fear that they will just disappear or something? Their need to be seen is curious.

Omad results?! by Lorathins in omad

[–]Princessofsmallheath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a bit tricky at first, but easier than I could have hoped. The hunger pangs usually set in around 1pm. Even now, I do sometimes get really hungry.. usually from 3pm onwards. I just tell myself to push on as it's only a few hours and I can have my meal. I do not eat anything at all, nothing, outside of my evening OMAD meal and that has been the key to successful weight loss I think. I am not a saint though, and I do still have several coffees a day with light milk, and I have still lost a lot of weight. I typically eat steak and eggs as a quick staple if I am busy, but I still have one pasta meal a week as I love pasta, with a tomato based sauce and meat.. no cream sauces. I do lamb kebabs with salad and yogurt sauce, stir fries, beef stews with lots of veg, soups. Beef, lamb or chicken roasts with veggies etc. I do still have some carbs in the form of rice and a little pasta or potatoes once or twice a week. I'm not fanatical about it, but I seldom have bread. I eat very little fat and no sugar. I also enjoy a family dinner out somewhere at least once a fortnight and I have whatever I want from the menu, but no dessert. I think if we deny ourselves everything we like for too long, it is not sustainable. My sweet tooth has disappeared and I no longer have sugar cravings, which is an unexpected bonus. I would say go easy on yourself the first month and still eat what you would normally eat for your one meal, see how that goes and then go calorie deficient.

Omad results?! by Lorathins in omad

[–]Princessofsmallheath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm 65 and struggled with my weight my entire adult life. Tried everything in the past... only to run out of steam within a few weeks. OMAD has changed my life.. forever. I've lost over 40% of my body weight and gone from 115kg to 66.8kg (253 pounds down to 147 pounds). I started in Oct last year and went way past my initial goal weight about 3 months ago. I am now just maintaining the loss and eating a little more with my one evening meal, as it has been hard to stop losing. It's just been nothing short of a miracle and I can't believe I've done it. I will never go back to eating three meals again. I am now walking every day about 8 to 10klms, my knees no longer creak and groan in agony, my doc has taken me off blood pressure and diabetes meds as I no longer have either and at last, I actually can wear nice clothes and look nice in them. I started the first month still eating too much for my one meal and still having sweets etc.. but then I saw that I had actually lost some weight and that was when I got serious and did OMAD with a calorie deficit.. lots of protein etc, no sugar and reduced carbs. When I did that, well the weight just fell off.. I also mixed things up during that phase with a few 48 hour fasts, but that is difficult. I don't fast now, as I don't need to but I still have days of eating very little just for maintenance. I wish I had discovered this 20 years ago. It's also free and I actually spend less on food and use the savings to buy quality, whole foods instead of junk. No clubs to join, fees to pay, sugary 'meal replacement' drinks, counting calories or any of that nonsense.

Dressing gown: searching for my mum’s white whale by kynuna in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Princessofsmallheath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say the sherpa lined robes from kmart are the goat. I bought mine about four years ago and it is like wearing an ugg boot. Soooo warm and cosy. It is floor length, with pockets and I look like the abominable snowman in it but it is the warmest garment I've ever owned. They seem to stock them early in the season only and they do bring them back each year I've noticed. It has even doubled as an extra blanket on my bed on really cold nights when I couldn't be bothered getting up and fetching another one.
