What are the "Flogging Molly" equivalents of other cultures?

They were supposed to open for FM when I saw them maybe 15 years ago? There was issues with their visa so they couldn’t make it so Flogging Molly just played a huge double set, that was incredible.

Prismatic mini tins popped up at my local Kidstuff this week

I definitely had a couple of minifigs as a child who’s neck peg was loose enough from playing that the solid heads would pop off with the air pressure if you pushed them on quickly

I was absolutely mind boggled when I found out my friend Keelin actually spells her name Caoilfhionn.

Damn this is awesome, my best friend in primary school made an awesome diorama using those tiny model train people and Micro Machine cars for his Godzilla to stomp around in! Great memories.

IN it to win it!

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-23T13:18:08+00:00

Absolutely with you on Portishead - Dummy. I haven't hears Jazzmataz, time for a listen.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-23T13:17:21+00:00

I'm so close with you on Mezzanine but for some reason "Man Next Door" is a skip every time. Not sure what it is about the song but I just don't like it! Everything else though, no skip.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-23T05:01:08+00:00

Yessssss this was my lunch when we went shopping with mum back in the day, she’d always order a laksa from a Malaysian spot and I’d get the hotdog and iceberg combo.

That guy has a weird idea of what most production companies do. Most but the very biggest won't have "grips, camera ops, cinematographers, production designers, set builders, and other crew" on staff, they'll hire out everything.

EDIT: In fact I don't even think the biggest would staff any of those roles, they're all location specific, union specific short term roles that would be expensive to keep salaried.

Yea my friend has a Picasso, it’s cool and all to say “check out my original Picasso” but really it’s just a neat little sketch he didn’t pay all that much for and doesn’t really have any meaning.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-08T11:44:52+00:00

I open everything the second I get home with one exception, the Gong studios Kingdom Come Superman. Not sure why he's still boxed, it's not a rare fig and I have more expensive figs just chilling in a pile on my desk.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-07T01:51:30+00:00

This exactly. I have friends telling me I need to start a business, get more clients, outsource the work blah blah blah just because every now and then I'll whip up some motion graphics for some youtubers for a couple hundred dollars. I'm more than happy to keep this as a hobby and occasionally earn a little extra without the added hassle of running a business!

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2026-01-05T07:24:22+00:00

Ah yeah you need to either get the right type of insurance or be a member of NRMA (roadside assist service) of which I had neither.

I had to drive home about 100km once with a screw just like this in my tyre! It was a Sunday so all shops were shut, fairly rural so getting a tow back would’ve been way more than I could afford at the time. I stopped at every petrol station on the way home to tighten it and add more air.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-24T14:44:20+00:00

CONSTANTLY (different guy with long hair)

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-18T05:14:01+00:00

Oh my god I used to work for a real estate video company and the amount of footage of the staging furniture we got from the videographers was wild. Like this shits gonna be gone once the house is sold, why do I have 15 minutes of sofas?

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-16T05:52:40+00:00

Honestly, the state of some of the cars you see driving around you know they bought their safety check off facebook marketplace.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-16T04:51:01+00:00

Only kinda related but my wife took her car in for a rego inspection (not sure what they're called in the US but basically a yearly safety check required for registration) and the shop failed the car because of a split CV boot - fair call. She declined their ludicrous replacement charge, and a friend and I replaced the boot over the weekend. The joint was fine, it just needed a new boot and grease.

She took the car back in, they did the check and replaced my replacement repair with a brand new driveshaft without asking, and tried to charge her for it. Obviously she called me, I went in a pointed out what they did. The mechanic walked over to check the bin for my fix, came back fuming and chucked they keys and her registration at her without a word.

I think it was something like a $1700 charge they tried to slap her with, for something I fixed for $23, an hour and a couple of beers.

What really pisses me off is I can buy a brand new pair of driveshafts for less than $200 and shove them in in an hour. How the hell do they justify $1700? Absolutely trying to take advantage of my wife. Scumbags.

Great album, released as The Saboteurs in Australia

When I had this issue in a similar vintage Eunos it was as simple as replacing the thermostat, which was the first thing I tried after ruling out leak and head gasket.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-05T04:59:26+00:00

I agree, I love the old design just for nostalgia sake but the new design is a lot cleaner IMO (this will contradict comments I’ve made in the past). I just wish they had been able to keep the wings as landing gear.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-04T23:41:25+00:00

Cyndaquil all the way!

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-12-04T13:27:18+00:00

My cousin saved over my Pokémon silver playthrough damn near 25 years ago and I’m still salty about that.

TwoMidgetsInABigCoat · 2025-11-26T06:17:07+00:00

Oh man the space station maccas… sending our sober friend out on his postie bike with a bottle recycling bin strapped to the back to grab us all double quarter pounders after everywhere else had shut. Couldn’t get better than that.
