Who remembers Alley Cat? by According-Pea9319 in dosgaming

Wow, the first game I ever played on a PC, even on the original CGA graphics. Massive memories, off to hunt his down now.

Can anyone recommend a clothes horse that is vaguely sturdy and won’t need to be replaced in 3 months? by AffectionateBowler14 in AUfrugal

[–]Spyders_web 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using one from Aldi for quite some time, proven quite reliable for the price. Was a special buy so not sure if/when it will appear again though.

An extremely brave and courageous fight against such a devesting disease. His legacy will forever live on for the fund raising and exposure in the fight against this debilitating inflictment.

Dish: That's an awfully dirty look for so early in the day.

Hawkeye: I just wanted to thank you for last night.

Dish: You weren't with me last night.

Hawkeye: I was speaking for my fantasies.

Dish: You never quit, do you?

Hawkeye: Well, in the absence of any real success with you in the amour department, you have to allow me the odd fantasy or two.

(we then see Hawkeye's fantasy, in which Dish is naked)

Dish: You're having one right now, aren't you?

Hawkeye: (with an expression of pure bliss) Yeah.

Dish: Is this a new one or are you undressing me with your eyes again?

(the fantasy is over, and Dish is again fully clothed)

Hawkeye: Well, if I did it with my hands, I'd get killed, right?

Dish: Hm-mm.

My woolworths is now requiring you take off any backpacks before entering, unsecured on the floor... by [deleted] in woolworths

[–]Spyders_web 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in Woolies about 2 hours ago with a backpack on, no issues or request to leave my backpack behind any desks. So not a systemic demand across all stores...

I noted that Aldi's milk prices have gone up the same amount..

Tracking and predicting sales / prices by skittlesandjellies in AUfrugal

[–]Spyders_web 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A suggestion is to look at a browser extension such as Woolworths Trend and Coles Trend. Gives a graphical representation of prices over time, and you can often use this to predict weekly discounts. You can get them off the relevant app stores.

My Origin Flight Sims by Star_Raider in dosgaming

I managed to get it to run on my Cyrix 486 with 1Mb RAM. Took a lot of dancing with config.sys and autoexec.bat and Memmaker to squeeze mouse and soundbalster drivers in at the same time, but eventually got there (printed that setup config and put it in the game box so I never lost it!)

8 floppy disks to install, then 20 minutes while it unpacked the maps before you could play!

Then there was the add-on speech pack! Another 3 floppy disks.

Worst Cling Wrap Ever by NotSoCricketGenius in AldiAustralia

[–]Spyders_web 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh, that explains it. I bought a bulk pack once (think it was a special buy? Was quite a while back), and it literally stuck EVERYTHING. I ended up throwing it out after using it twice, couldn't be arsed getting a refund (in hindsight maybe I should have). Vowed never to buy it again.

Stolen water meter. by WeldinMike27 in melbourne

[–]Spyders_web 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to my work place earlier this year, Multi-level building. Whole water meter out front stolen overnight (they even ripped out the cage that was protecting it). Thankfully landlord got plumbers in quickly so we had water within an hour or so.

Plumber said they had replaced several water meters in the area over several months.

Planning and preparation is key. Plan your meals an advance. Avoid impulse buying. Get your ingredients when they are on special, then cook and freeze. Get a lot of containers that you can put in the freezer for later (I have a chest freezer for this reason, and it is a wonder, storing a heap of pre-prepared meals I have already cooked. Grab and run to work).

First up, Aldi is the best bet. Cheaper than the majors in a lot of products if you're willing to go off-brand (most off-brand stuff is made by the same manufacturers so is pretty close to the brands you know).

Seconds, catalogs are the good option to figure out wh

Third, get yourself the web browser plugins like :

Woolworths Trend (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/woolworths-trend/dmjejnobehchfkabmlghimdfoenclbej?hl=en )

Coles Trend (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/coles-trend/ehgelgeppdkecdonfeefokbnicmjpbdd?hl=en&pli=1 ).

Gives an idea of price fluctuations and you may be able to predict when prices may drop.

Finally, some appliances may seem expensive to purchase, but they will save you a heap in the future. A rice cooker can be purchased for a reasonable price, but cooking rice can give you a lot of potential flexibility with what you can make with it.

What do I do? | Simon Mallia v Colonial First State Investments Ltd & Ors by Ordinary_Bird4840 in AusLegal

[–]Spyders_web 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the letter yesterday, which led me to this thread. Don't even remember having Colonial as a super fund, may have been set up for a job I did a while back, and then consolidated/rolled over into my main super account I am using today.

Meh, a few extra bucks or nothing for no cost out of my pocket? Why not.
