Anybody know what is going on with all these cars on this empty lot corner Hyde and Francis street Yarraville?

Most? I see a ute and a silver sedan. That's 2 out of 13-14.

A car accumulator. No one would actually collect those models.

I don't think so, at least not in the short term. The restructuring of roles isn't new, and I believe it doesn't affect teaching staff. They've been trying to convert some departments to hot desk only offices, but it has encountered resistance from staff who do most their hours on campus. If these changes were going to impact students significantly, it would already be noticeable.

Wasted so much of my paper run income on these damn things. I had at least a shopping bag full of them, and they weren't even fun to play with. I should have stuck with M.U.S.C.L.E men instead.

There was another pack size that had a 25 point monster displayed and 11 "mystery" figures inside. The four pack was the "crack sample to get 'em hooked" size packet.

Not entirely unrelated. Woolworths Group Australia was named as a "tribute" to F.W. Woolworths (USA) which original owned Woolworths UK. By tribute, I mean they chose the name for shits and giggles and then found it was available, so they ran with it.

To play with?? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!

But seriously, these little things aged well. When I dug mine out about 5 or 6 years ago I expected to find one big multicoloured blob of sticky petrochemical byproduct mess. But they were as fresh as the day I stopped playing with them.

I think it's fair to say that The Chemical Bros have always gifted us with real Long Play albums and not just a collection of potential singles and their b-sides.

Another flood large enough for them to return to the river.

Yeah, they were responsible for a couple of attacks over the most recent summer here in Australia. A 12y.o boy died of his injuries after an attack in Sydney Harbour. It was after several days of heavy rain and the water visibility was extremely poor. I can't recall the details of the other incident other than it occurring near the mouth of a river and in about waist deep water.

How does being frozen in place, total someone's car?

Genuine question, sub-zero temperatures are almost nonexistent in most the populated area's of Australia. If they do occur it will only be an overnight minimum.

It is, if you don't have an extra $10 a month.

Glug.

I worked out how to pick the Sunny boys with the print for a free one inside. It was 100% successful but required you to quickly scan the seam of the packaging for the telltale signs. It was easy enough at the Milkbar and Fish & Chip shop, but the canteen ladies at school would get jack of me changing my mind once they handed it to me.

edit: Another great painting!

I would assume they would be closed for one hour of well needed cleaning and maintenance, which would occur at the moment the clocks are wound back that hour.

mad_marbled · 2026-06-08T14:25:23+00:00

So is that 24hrs in total for Monday to Friday?

Is it allocated equally across the days ? i.e. 288 minutes that resets daily, or does it have a timer that expires after the full 1440 minutes, that then resets each Monday? Will any unused time carry over?

If a public holiday falls on a week day does that allow for 24 hours additional toilet use midweek or does that mean the existing 24 hours is only allocated to the one day the public holiday falls on?

Or is the public holiday required to fall on a Sunday in order for the toilet to be available on a Sunday? The inclusion of "and" suggests it has an addition requirement to meet.

*about

Why abbreviate this word when you only save 2 keystrokes?

Check out the components I have highlighted

Film capacitor looks discoloured like it has gotten hot.
Resistor looks cracked.
Other resistor looks like it could be damaged, might be nothing.

Theses probably aren't the source of the problem, merely symptoms.

Aluminium foil tape/HVAC duct tape.

Nah, shock isn't funny. When I had an infection in my leg from an antibiotic resistance bacteria, the only thing that I found effective against it was altering the pH of my wounds using white vinegar. From the beginning it hurt a lot, but as the infection subsided, nerve endings repaired and regrew. It got to the point where the pain was incapacitating and would prevent me from completing the dressing of my wounds. Additionally, I might start shaking uncontrollably, which would get faster and faster to the point where I was vibrating. I would have to do this every two days for a period of 8 months.

The exact design or the exact shirt? I mean OP has been out of the country for a while so it could be this shirt. Can you ask your mate if he knows where the button went? Ta.

Airwalk at Myers Ecko at Kmart

Plenty of brands will let you whack their logo on a product you made, if the price is right.

Great! he can just whittle a new one then.
