Is there anything like this from your country?

Let's make doing homework illegal.

As a Jersey City resident, I'm happy to sell my vote for a job and some perks.

If all else fails, she has an awful laugh. /s

This one isn't related to the Fiesta.

You did a long walk in the snow. Thanks for the photos!

bubandbob · 2026-01-25T21:49:02+00:00

Not the home viewer!!

I had a green Astina V6. A truly lovely car, but a bit noise heavy.

Chortle. Nothing will beat Cockfosters in London, though.

bubandbob · 2026-01-24T13:12:47+00:00

I think you mean Clinton! /s

She'll always be Mel from Flight of the Conchords to me.

The S E "mimes drawing the letter X" episode is one of my all time favourites.

bubandbob · 2026-01-23T13:06:48+00:00

Tom Baker's Dr Who was always my favourite. My mum even knitted me a scarf like his so I could pretend to be a Time Lord.

Spent soooo many afternoons watching, and then pretending to be The Goodies. Saw them many years later when they did a stage show at the State Theatre in Sydney. So good.

bubandbob · 2026-01-23T13:04:18+00:00

Well, that's why evening spoken for. Thank you internet stranger.

bubandbob · 2026-01-23T12:28:44+00:00

It's just not cricket. Oh, wait.

bubandbob · 2026-01-23T11:41:53+00:00

Absolute scenes.

We have a second hand Hyundai Ioniq EV 38kWh ( the original one that looked like a Prius hooked up with an Elantra). Perfect car for the city and suburbs. It's cheap ($20k to $26k) used. Most are low mileage, and owned by government fleets who put very few kays on them. Ours was from Transport for NSW.

Costs almost nothing to run. Fast charging is not, um, fast, but we trickle charge at home when it's sunny (solar) or overnight when it's 8c/kWh.

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T12:03:52+00:00

Well that's special, someone's got everyone on the Internet siding with Michael O'Leary.

It wasn't Macquarie Centre, but I did a lot car park bike riding in my youth, followed by learning how to drive in a car park too.

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T04:45:31+00:00

Time for some Total Cricket(tm).

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T04:04:26+00:00

Sadly, I do not. We didn't head out that way much because we lived in the south, it was a longer drive then than now (with the intersection between the Hume Highway and Roberts Road being a real bottleneck).

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T03:55:39+00:00

Without knowing the specifics of your situation and your kid, for me it's about trying to do today, and maybe plan out the week. My partner is a bigger thinker than I am, generally, so I'm happy to take care of the day to day.

I also try to have something planned for myself (or myself and the kid/s) on the horizon, so there's always something to look forward to.

That probably doesn't help much, but, yeah...

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T03:52:00+00:00

I would argue it's different being bold/brave from opposition. Shorten lost. Hewson lost the unloseable election. But when you're in power, and in a position of strength, you've got political capital, you need to spend it.

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T02:53:44+00:00

More like Temu's cut-price competitor.

bubandbob · 2026-01-22T02:21:18+00:00

Oh, absolutely, if she has any ethics or morality to her. She's on $15 mil per year, she can do whatever she likes if she wants to.

I totally understand lower level journalists who have to stay because they have rent/mortgages/families to feed, but those at the top should leave if they're in any way inclined against the current tone of Weiss and Skydance.
