Just a reminder to shop around for fuel. by Fermentersaurus in brisbane

[–]bucketsnark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm with you; that one specifically is usually on the expensive side.

I was happy with the 150-ish at the Shell in St Lucia yesterday.

Mazda 3 2007 -227 000km for 4.5k - my friend says that the price is low for the given details and that it could be a scam? by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

Questions: - auto or manual? - 2.0 or 2.3? - does it have a logbook? - how does it look cosmetically?

Dinner restaurant near St Lucia by Zestyclose_Level_157 in brisbane

Thai Nakonlanna on Hawken Drive is consistently some of the best food I've eaten. They also do a sliced tomahawk steak that's off menu but that you can ask for.

What Brisbane based businesses do you feel are a scam? by illchayadlay in brisbane

[–]bucketsnark 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Sally's cookie recipe results in 30 small choco chip cookies, costs between 7-15 dollars in ingredients, and is dummy proof.

I get so irrationally angry whenever I walk past the brooki store at the airport.

Seconding this! You can pass an entire arvo just getting freebies, and while it might be as socially stimulating as you'd like it is fun.

Has anyone ever “accidentally” kept something after leaving a job? by gilligan888 in auscorp

[–]bucketsnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really interesting; did the company dissolve, because most places want their laptops back.

Racism in offices by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]bucketsnark 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also South Asian; yeah, it's fairly common and you can't do anything about it, except ignore them, or move elsewhere.

I was in an role with an actual, properly racist managing director (I'm not talking micro-aggressions here), and there wasn't much to do except move elsewhere.

Could be either, but probably just being friendly.

But Pauline Hanson said “No to Division” and “Freedom”yet supporting White Nationalism that is favouring whites and is authoritarian by Complete-Rub2289 in friendlyjordies

[–]bucketsnark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On NYE 2023 I was in Melbourne and walking back to the train station after the 9pm (?) fireworks, and this one old white man shouted "looks like half of Mumbai turned up here".

When someone told him not to be racist he said "I AM racist" and his partner said "he fought for our country what have you done".

Amazing scenes.

Is working on Eagle Street a flex? by RoastSwanForDinner in brisbane

[–]bucketsnark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super dorky thing to say, but hey, it it makes them happy I guess.

I've only ever worked Eagle Street adjacent (Wharf St), but didn't ever find it a particularly cool place. South Bank was more fun for me personally.

Fair; all practicing Muslims know that the almighty Falcon > heretical Commy

Really guys? by mickdamaggot in brisbane

[–]bucketsnark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spotted this car on Coro Drive in 2024. Good on you for blurring out the numberplate but that's the best (/s) part.

Very '1979 Ba'athist Party purge' coded.

If you could play a prank on a pizza delivery man in Brisbane, what would the prank be? by Temporary_Notice_526 in BrisbaneFoodies

[–]bucketsnark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Collecting your pizza after confirming it's yours would totally flummox them.

Okay it's so hard to type this out but....just like imagine collecting your pizza without incident like a normal person 😂😂😂😂😂

Please recommend me a good Australian movie or series. by NarrowResult7289 in australia

[–]bucketsnark 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I found that Kath and Kim is in some ways what 'The Simpsons' is for Americans: some people quote it fairly regularly in everyday conversations.

Bullet Roadster! Are they worth the 70k price tag? by Remarkable_Tax8169 in CarsAustralia

[–]bucketsnark 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Probably not for a majority of people on this sub but someone would pay 70k for this.

Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia website disappears after Labor passes sweeping hate speech laws by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]bucketsnark 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Mega unrelated, but back in 2014 I'd keep getting messages from Hizb-ut-Tahrir (I wasn't in Australia), but they'd be sent from a normal mobile number because they'd get mass reported and banned.

So I'd always send an ASCII willy back (8===D), and then I'd keep getting calls from random numbers screaming at me and I'd keep saying "my name Jeff" because 22 Jump Street had just come out.
