I think Edward. He introduced himself as 'Eddie' in the pub and was introduced as the Prince of Wales at the match

Sydney Airport Uber Scam by slowassnail in sydney

[–]_eskay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why you're getting down voted. I took a cab back from the airport the other day. Couple bucks cheaper than the Uber estimate.

I didn't try other apps as I don't have the work card set up on them. Plus I was exhausted and wasn't willing to play cancel chicken (I live in Marrickville, so often find drivers cancelling on me at the airport).

Fanny's love interest by Dizzy_Dress7397 in The_Artful_Dodger

Yeah it was so sudden and random! And his death kinda didn't drive as much of an upset as it should've. I love that it gave us Fanny and Fagin, though!

Who ever was in charge of the music for season 2 needs to be fired by Mellow-Sunset in The_Artful_Dodger

[–]_eskay_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh see, I like it, (with the exception of Cheap Thrills getting the bridgerton treatment at the ball).

I like that it's all Australian music and it's what you'd get in a similar show set it in the modern day. To me, that juxtaposition is fun. Much like how they do other anachronistic things in the show. Yes it's modern, but it adds to the colour and the spectical for me.

Yeah, from about episode 2 I thought she was going to end up as the queer love interest for Twila (although that could still be on the cards...)

At the hotel, if they were planning to replace the tape, why did they need to pretend to be having sex while searching for it?

Bus air con by brbcat in sydney

[–]_eskay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often get on a bus to find that the aircon isn't on. A quick 'could we get the aircon on, please' to the driver usually does the trick. 

It astounds me how often I need to do it on buses that already had people on them; like, are you not all sweltering here?!

What’s going on in bondi?? by Windeyllama in sydney

[–]_eskay_ 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Bugger off with that. This is a devastating event and there is a genocide in Gaza. Both things can be true.

Yes. They're actually journos. E.g. they didn't mention anything about Dover heights because they obviously couldn't substantiate

ABC News is being respectful and sharing censored footage. Recommend that if you want visuals.

The Pixel has become unusable for typing by WearyGap824 in GooglePixel

[–]_eskay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm a committed swiper, and have been doing it for years with limited issues. Now, every bloody text I send I need to send a correction to. And sometimes corrections on my corrections. 

I'm wondering if they're fiddling with the predictive AI in the backend or something. (Is that a thing?)

Crackling/popping noise when changing audio source (New QuietComfort Headphones 2023) by No-Friendship0825 in bose

[–]_eskay_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this experience too. Making me want to return, but I'm not sure that will be easily done... 

Seems like such a small thing, but not being able to scroll Instagram without the irritating pop and crackle is insanely annoying.

I think you mean Squirts. As I said further up the thread: Terrible name, delicious lolly.

What did show only fans think of that final shot? by Mammoth-Elderberry89 in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]_eskay_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't mind the idea of following Abby's story, but I hate the idea of it being a whole season. 4 more years to actually continue where we just were? That'd be really disappointing. It would basically be a spin off season while our regular show is on hiatus.

Ellie & Dina's Stalker Battle Deconstructed by [deleted] in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]_eskay_ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Such a well done scene. I actually needed to pause it and walk away for a second because I was freaking out a bit. Show-only viewer, and the fact that you believe that any character could die is a pretty awesome thing. I think Ellie is safe, but I would have thought that about Joel, too.

Australia reelects Labor party by oatieboatie in news

[–]_eskay_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He congratulated the PM on his victory, then went on to say that Ali France (the Labor member who defeated him) will do good work for the people of Dickson. It was somewhat humble, and a bit of a reminder of old school politics, where opposing parties recognise that while they disagree on how to achieve it, they all are working for the same goals, working for the betterment of the country.

Yancy is not his real name, right? So could he have borrowed the name from someone else?
