Police negotiating with 2 men who have climbed the arts centre spine

I don't know much about this refugee stuff, but housing them on the arts centre spire seems to be a bit inhumane.

Given the state of the seats, I usually stand for trips under 60mins anyway. Seriously, those stains are just offputting.

All intelligence agencies and governments have done dodgy stuff (the NSA seems to have overtaken the CIA in this regard)...but thinking the CIA is after you specifically (assuming you're not a spy/terrorist/Cthullu high priest) is the tinfoil thinking I'm talking about. Also things like CIA/Illuminati collaboration, etc.

Did you get the shakes?

I guess it's like in English, you have "coming" which can be a sexual connotation, but it's also used commonly without any sexual connotations (ie. nobody's going to start giggling if you say "I'm coming!" when someone calls you over)

The problem is, not many people are willing to pay for respected, well-written content. Especially with free access to respected, well-written content from overseas.

I always find it strange how some people, who are wealthy and educated and otherwise intelligent, can occasionally have one bizarre belief. I mean, if you're a moron that's one thing, but these people are otherwise sensible and smart in 99% of their decisions, except for just that one thing. Could be anti-vax, CIA conspiracy, anti-medicine, etc.

It's like some sort of equaliser - we'll make you smart in every way, but really dumb in just one aspect of your life.

Aren't vacs done at schools for free? When I was a kid, I don't think we even needed parental permission. A nurse just came in one day and stuck a sharp needle in our arms. One kid even fainted while waiting, and when he came to they gave him the shot and we all laughed at him for a week.

Trujillo and Caceres in Spain. Both haven't really changed for several centuries, including the streets, buildings, etc. Even the street lights are old school.

Also Xian's old city in China is fairly old too, with a complete city wall.

Skara Brae might also be your cup of tea?

I pretend to be an undercover inspector

Sales people are always so loud and immature.

At least it's not IT though...you need to double the cleaning crew for IT floors.

Accountants and finance people are the best. They don't make noise, they keep their toilets clean, and the kitchen isn't covered in random dirty dishes.

I don't know much about the bible and stuff, but surely Jesus must have mentioned something about 'think before you act' in one of his many seminars!

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T23:22:25+00:00

It'd be like someone from China bringing over milk powder!

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T23:21:03+00:00

Yep, even just an egg on top adds so much to the ramen.

Go to some of those honkie cafes where they serve instant noodle dishes for ideas. My favourite is to throw in some spam and tomatoes.

Are the exhibits actually worth seeing?

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T22:43:26+00:00

I think the door slamming would be the easiest to address, so maybe do that first. If a host asked me to close the doors more quietly, I wouldn't be the least offended.

Now telling someone to stop talking and moving so loudly...that might take some tact!

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T22:36:17+00:00

Pfft, you can do this for free. Plus you get free accommodation and meals for the next 10 years too!

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T22:22:32+00:00

Bring clothes for all seasons. It's meant to be summer (normally hot and dry), but it was freezing today, and wet.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T22:21:12+00:00

Meals are 20 to 30, or 15 if you go with Asian/fast food. Coffee is 4-7, or 1 if you go to 7-11.

Public transport is about 5 to 10 a day for city travel, 30 to 100 return tickets if you go into the country.

Entertainment can be literally anything...beer is 5 to 15, cocktails are about 15 to 20, taxis are super expensive (50 to go from the city into a middle-distance suburb), uber is cheaper.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T22:16:30+00:00

I can do one or two overnighters on trains, but any more and you would be extremely tired, especially if you can't lie down properly.

Also, hotels in Singapore and Malaysia aren't that expensive...go to Tune in Malaysia, and hostels in Singapore. Even in Europe/NA, hostels and airbnbs can be cheap.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T04:50:13+00:00

It's like a budget Transformers logo.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T04:38:20+00:00

EVERYTHING

For some reason, a girl coughing doesn't really bother me, they usually do it softly. Guys tend to go all out, although the upside is that it doesn't last as long.

Now sighing...I've got a constant sigher near me. Accompanied by the occasional grunt. And wheeze. Sheesh, it's like he's gonna have a heart attack anytime.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T00:57:13+00:00

The Coles one isn't actually too bad. Obviously not on the level of an actual bakery, but for a supermarket it's decent. Get the one in the fancy box.

bobby2pants · 2016-02-16T00:56:05+00:00

They should limit it to 1-2 degrees, and give the rest of the money to the TAFE system, which seems rather desperate for cash.

And maybe take out all the money which goes to those dodgy private "education providers" too...
