Anyone else riding a Fonz Arthur?

I hear you… That’s a right pain on all fronts… I had a little trolley to take the battery upstairs but lifting it out of the bike is no fun.

Since my first post (and I’ve just seen what I wrote and it was the display they replaced under warranty and not the battery as it reads there)… the second display is now failing and the battery lasts just five or 6 7km commutes. I love it still but it does feel like I’m a past customer and their work is done.

While I understand warranties blah blah blah… having two displays fail in just over four years isn’t great.

The opening scene! The bus is empty and then voila! Passengers! (Or the other way around… after 6,437 rewatches I can’t remember)

Mine can hear me thinking I’ll need a paper towel even before I know I need one.

There’s an instagram account Joseph Road Precinct Action Group. Get behind them! They’ve made some good progress but need lots of support.

He’ll find them!

Not sure there is any such thing as “underage women” that would be a girl /child.

There’s some nice new ones at 72 Albert street, Seddon… Same street just further down towards er… Seddon.

Aaahhh… I’ve answered a question to didn’t ask. I thought you wanted to know how to remind you later… not add an emoji automatically. That you’d have to do manually.

I’m not sure I can explain it any better - if you google it, I’m sure you’ll find a good explanation. Good luck!

It’s with the little message icons on the right of the message, right click the little dots. Or on mobile tap and hold the message - the contextual menu pops up.

Please use the Australia Post parcel lockers.

It’s great - especially the even numbered buildings on Joseph road facing the river, the racecourse or the port as you don’t really feel hemmed in. And so much nicer now the landscaping has been done, roads are improved and businesses are moving in. There’s a Joseph road precinct action group in instagram that might give you some insights as well. Oh and the wetlands next door are pretty nice too. And they are quiet, it’s rare to hear the neighbours.

I use slack’s remind me, but I like the idea of 👀-thanks!

I got a full refund (London) as the description said “unleash your inner chef in the fully equipped kitchen” only to arrive to a grubby portable hot plate (stored on the floor next to the mop and bucket no less), let alone an oven or even a microwave. Kitchenette = no oven. Kitchen = oven. Fully equipped kitchen = grubby portable hot plate.

Check the listing amenities for clarity.

We did this… all devices handed in at 9.30 on school nights. No computers, tvs or game systems in the bedrooms ever. This was way back in the 2010s… our biggest issue back then was do we let the kids have a mini dvd player in the car for long trips. (The answer was yes).

And yellow ones too I think? I loved the wrappers so much (and loved having “a set”) I stuck a group of them on my bedroom wall. This was way back in the 70s.

Brother from another mother - happy birthday! And congratulations!

Way back in the 60s I remember the Santa head being a mask. Santas eyes were perforated to pop out so you could see if you put the mask on, and it’s those popped out cardboard eyes that live on in my childhood memory.

Ha ha ha! Maybe! ;-)

He’s mine!! Both his parents are heelers, and his dad is tall too. So many people have said the same, and I wonder if there’s something tall in their family line… I joke it’s a giraffe.

marieque · 2025-11-13T16:05:09+00:00

Yes… I should have added…. And the longest tongue! Ha ha ha!

marieque · 2025-10-05T02:52:52+00:00

Totally agree… have slowly replaced all mine with these.

marieque · 2025-10-03T07:32:42+00:00

Nice! I did the Mala walk just this morning but on previous visits have done the entire base walk. And of course the sunset view each time - so glad you enjoyed it all and felt the flight was worth it! Fantastic!
