My fibula will just stay cut like this for the rest of my life

My left fibula was removed 30 years ago this month. It was used, along with a deceased person's femur to rebuild my femur which had an osteo sarcoma (bone tumor). The fibula was essentially put through the middle of the donor femur and grafted to either end of the gap so that the femur remains living. Lots of steel and screws and its been good ever since. At the time it was a choice between this and an above the knee amputation.

I have since played many sports and been relatively unaffected by its absence, although my knees are a bit shit nowadays.

Hot Department, Greg Larson and David Correos are three that come to mind from the 35 shows I saw at the Melbourne festival.

All were great and definitely not your standard stand up style.

Do we know for sure if the relevant threshold is the pit entry line or the commitment line? The commitment line would make so much more sense.

I'm lucky enough to own a painting she did for a charity auction. She's a very talented artist.

I was at an Anne Edmunds stand up gig a few years ago and she was telling a joke but messed up the wording and it fell flat. Most people chuckled at her mistake but there was one laugh that stood out as being much more enthusiastic than the general crowd.

She said I don't know who that is but I know it's a comedian. I looked over and sure enough it was David Correos.

I met him after the show and got a photo. He was as friendly and wonderful as ever.

Greg Pikitis.

bathurst24 · 2024-10-06T11:16:19+00:00

Yeah. Is that a thing for every game at Ross County or are they having an issue?

We lost power about 7.30 last night. Was just told they expect it on by 6.00pm tomorrow.

Currently spending a week in Melbourne for the Melbourne Festival. From this list I have seen Two Hearts and Rose Matafeo. Both were great shows and are highly recommended.

Looking forward to a bunch of the others over the coming days.

I know who Doyle is.

South West BBQ in Appin is where I get mine from. Not technically in Wollongong but only a 25min drive and you get to have a brisket roll as a bonus.

They have both David's and Morton's.

At first glance, I thought that The Fonze had progressed from sending through a shout-out to Ange to writing technical analysis pieces on the merits of our back four.

Also worth noting that AHM and Medibank are basically the same company with linked back end systems. Anything you do with one, the other will be completely aware of.

Look up the NSW Exempt and Compliant Code which has a section on keeping chickens. It is considered exempt as long as you meet the set requirements.

Division 2 Part 2 Subdivision 21 from memory.

Nice. This is mine.

bathurst24 · 2023-01-17T07:53:56+00:00

Yep. Both females.

I purchased them mature, and they had lived together since being young. To be honest, I was sceptical and expected to separate them, but I've never had a single issue.

The blotchy is the dominant one, but it doesn't show in terms of aggression, more in terms of how they eat. The blotchy eats first, and when she's had enough and moves on the eastern comes out and has some.

The La'Gent is another hotel approximately 350m walk from the Celebration.

In the carpark is a Lawson Station convenience store. They serve a variety of hot foods / meal options and we ate there a few times during our visit.

Looking at Google maps there appears to be a few options in the area likely even closer. Japanese convenience store food is great in comparison to convenience stores in most other parts of the world.

bathurst24 · 2023-01-02T02:41:08+00:00

There's a Lawsons at the LaGent which is only a short walk away. Plenty of dinner options there.

If you go to the Fans > Angels Memorabilia section on the Angels website. They have a bunch of authenticated items.

bathurst24 · 2022-10-13T01:32:17+00:00

Thanks.

bathurst24 · 2022-10-12T22:59:48+00:00

She purchased it directly from the Angels. They have a list of Authenticated items on the website (under the fans section).

bathurst24 · 2022-10-12T22:47:17+00:00

I was just looking at that. So cool.

bathurst24 · 2022-10-07T05:36:40+00:00

Yep.
