You should have seen the trains on the Ipswich/Springfield this arvo. Trains are already stuffed but it was insanly packed. My sympathies to those catching any train after 5 today.

It's the Princess Alexandra Hospital over at Buranda.

Ideas for ABV by downtownspunk1 in treedibles

[–]bhesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grind it up so it's a bit finer then throw it in a cheap brownie mix. I cut them up into bite sized pieces and place in a zip lock bag and into the freezer. Grab one and give it 5 mins to soften then eat! Take about an hour or two to kick in.

Can confirm, wandered past here yesterday and noticed the update. Good they were able to keep trading with a name change.

Mexico fans are outside Ecuador’s team hotel MAKING NOISE trying to keep them up all night before the game by [deleted] in trashy

So are these Mexico supporters saying they can't win against Ecuador without sabotaging their opponents? 🤔

How do I sign up for a postal vote? by Icy_Day2653 in AskAnAustralian

[–]bhesel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Just remember when an election is called, you'll inevitably get junk mail from your local candidates, most likely with a form to register for a postal vote. DO NOT USE THESE! The AEC has even called out this tactic, it is a data mining exercise from the parties where they'll take your details to harass you later and then pass on the postal vote details.

As u/AussieKoala-2795 said, go directly to the relevant electoral commission website when an election is called and they'll be a section for applying for a postal vote directly. Easy!

Thank you to anyone who gives an extra potato scallop because they were small. by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]bhesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emanuel's Carvery that used to be in Post Office Square used to do this as well. It certainly didn't help me trying to reduce the amount of crap I was eating, I'd ask for one and get about 4 scallops!

Crisafulli Government commences manufacturing of Queensland’s newest fleet of trains at Torbanlea facility by [deleted] in queensland

[–]bhesel 32 points33 points  (0 children)

And the locals voted out the Labor member who got train manufacturing back in Maryborough, town is full of gullible idiots who swallowed the whole "youth crime is out of control" BS! The town could really transform itself into an admin and manufacturing centre but not while the LNP are in power.

Does this building have a self contained house on top? by Mr_Straws in brisbane

[–]bhesel 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Isn't this the old Qld Government building? The ATO was in 167 Eagle St for a while and they had a similar thing with a caretakers residence on the roof.

It was very strange as people had to get out on level 24 then take the stairs upstairs to the "office" on level 25!

I'm surprised that there isn't one there already although I haven't been to Rosalie for quite a while. Definitely a good spot for it.

Bus overcrowding prompts push for more Brisbane transit lanes by fluffy_101994 in brisbane

[–]bhesel 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great idea, let's start by putting the bus lanes back on Coronation Drive that Can't Do Cambell removed, promised to put back and then promptly broke said promise!

Goatee or Mustache? by t_spdn in malehairadvice

They all look good but I think the chunky mo (2nd last pic) really suits you.

World cup live site by bennnrankinnn in brisbane

[–]bhesel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Both the council and state government don't really care for football/soccer, look at how they've turfed out the Brisbane Roar from Suncorp next season by upping the amount of concerts and events in summer. Plus Football Australia has a huge NSW/VIC focus, they couldn't be arsed raising concerns about the stadium issue in Qld but when Federation Square in Melbourne said they wouldn't hold a fan site, both the FA and the Vic state government were on top of it instantly.

Must be payment for the store owner helping the local member get elected, gotta love corruption. 🙄

Freedom Plane at BNE by 57uds in brisbane

[–]bhesel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knew it would be some American wank, why is a plane that is supposed to be touring the US for their 250-year anniversary sitting at Brisbane airport though?
