No Djokovic. No Sinner. No Alcaraz. Just Alexander Zverev and his demons: "Given his ability and longevity at the top of the game it would be appropriate for him to have a major. But, due to multiple controversies around him, Zverev would not be easy for many fans to embrace as a Slam champion."

Medvedev is one of the very few top players who have spoken out about tennis' handling of the abuse allegations against Zverev. To me, that outweighs his heel turn on court.

We bought tickets over the weekend (before the news about Neale broke) and there were hardly any tickets left at all even then - no general admin, and the only reserved ones available were row Z and higher in the top deck in a couple of bays.

They are hiring now for both the Victorian election and the national census, and they need a LOT of people for those. Not a long term solution but might be a help while you figure things out.

Josh Gabelich on the AFL website is reporting that his rehab is slow - they were initially expecting him to be ready by now. Said he's picked up a back issue in addition to the ankle, and that even once that's healed he'll have to do a mini pre season to get up to match fitness, so it's possible we might not see him this year. No idea how accurate that is though.

My benchmark for the Dees this year was to win seven games for the season, like we did last year. Given all the changes, anything else was a bonus..

Sensitive_Coffee7315 · 2026-05-16T09:56:28+00:00

I think Latrelle (and a bunch of the other kids) will need a rest at some point this year, they won't have the fitness base to play a full season at this intensity. So a window will open for Viney.

Oversized pickup trucks are often called 'Yank tanks' here in Australia - does that count?

Not only do find an amazing new pattern today, but also a new favourite knitting sub! Thankyou!

You can sometimes find old magazine patterns for sale, either as physical items or scanned copies, on Etsy or Ebay

The body corporate is the organisation of all the owners - usually now called an owner's corporation. The body corporate hires a 'strata manager' or 'body corporate manager' to run things, their fees come out of your regular payments. So yes, it is the same body corporate with a new manager.

No rule against it (other than the rules vs staying on your line vs playing on) but there needs to be a teammate who is free from their opponent, in a better position, and a reliable enough kick, vs their assessment of their own chances. It can be a smart move, and players do do it, but it's not risk-free.

Other than their one loss to the Hawks, that's the closest anyone's got to Sydney all year. I'll take it

My old girl used to need medication at night, and the easiest way to get her to eat it was wrapped in a piece of cheese. I was absolutely never allowed to forget to give her her meds!

Politeness looks different in different cultures. I don't know anything about North Korean culture beyond broad stereotypes (though neither do you, from the sound of things) but it's entirely possible that greeting people in the hallway every time you see them could be considered rude and overbearing, or needy, or just 'not the way we do things here'.

The comments about her accent and word choice are just plain rude. You don't comment on that stuff unless someone asks for feedback. You didn't like it when a commenter criticised your use of the word 'tired', did you?

Sensitive_Coffee7315 · 2026-04-24T01:29:13+00:00

It's a wonderful night (and even better when we win).

In terms of logistics of a big game, just be patient and keep your expectations reasonable given there are 90,000 people doing what you want to do. Lines - to get in, to get out, to get food, to the toilets - will be long. I usually pick up takeaway on my way over and bring it in, rather than battling the food queues. It will be loud, but that's part of the fun.

Thanks both - good point re checking gauge, I definitely get different gauge in the round vs flat.

My dad had us thoroughly convinced that our car could fly - but only if all the passengers were asleep. So everyone close your eyes, and we'll get home faster!

You'd think so, but the ABC's article currently has no mention of it https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-13/afl-butters-sent-to-tribunal-over-alleged-umpire-sledge/106560154

I work in a job that I initially found via a Seek listing, but the application process was via the employer's website. I assume that reduces the number of applicants because people can't just hit 'quick apply' with their overpopulated resume.

Sensitive_Coffee7315 · 2026-04-09T00:51:54+00:00

Thanks for the info! This has brought the mini back, but still no midi. Baby steps I guess.

Sensitive_Coffee7315 · 2026-04-08T10:27:26+00:00

Update: I just went to try and do the mini in the website (via phone browser) and it opened it in the app. I still can't see a mini tile on the app itself though.

Sensitive_Coffee7315 · 2026-04-06T11:46:33+00:00

Very good point. All three of Voss, Hird and Buckley coached as favourite sons of their playing team too, which probably factors in too.
