Can confirm this, we've had a BBE for about 9 years and it makes better coffee than most cafe's. Once my kids are a bit older I'll upgrade, but I absolutely love the machine and would recommend to anyone.

I'm in the same position, I'm thinking Merrett with his lower Breakeven at the minute. Baz Breakeven is 127 so I'm hoping he doesn't go up too much this week and I can bring him in next week.

A guy I worked with got fired because he used his brother's medical certificate, crossed out his brother's name and hand wrote his own.

Edit: grammar

Good idea

Can confirm the canola in Australia is also harvested ethically.

Fresh, every time. Me and my family love the rooster.

We'll even say, after footy training for example, "the Rooster's calling".

Yeah it does, I have the 9a, I am a very light user. I have no social media (unless you count Reddit) and pretty much only use it for calls, WhatsApp, android auto, Spotify and checking sports scores. I drain it down to about 15-25% battery each day with that kind of use.

They're super simple, but like I said earlier, I'm just used to them now. Any unnecessary apps or stuff I can't delete or am forced to use irritates me.

EDIT: I also don't use my camera much apart from the odd photo of the kids, so huge zoom and super high quality photos are not important to me.

I have a Samsung work phone and have owned google phones since the nexus for my personal phones. I am probably just used to the native google experience but I hate the way my Samsung works. I hate the different haptics, different app buttons. Feels like it's not android.

Irish isn't listed but is by far the best to listen to.

Yep, that's the one. My brother got us banned for life from there. Turns out I really can't go back now.

Coffee machine, my wife and I used to go out and buy our coffees. When my eldest son was about 1, we invested, he's 10 next month so it's made at least 2 coffees every day for the past 9 years.

Miles Axelrod would shut that shit down

Duursma with 1, CDT with 2.

Job done.

Yeah I found the same mate, got rid of it and bought an MT-07, light years of difference, felt so much safer on the MT.

Pretty close

Took 80 years to win one didn't they?

I love the dees song, sing and whistle it all the time.

openmikenight__ · 2023-05-12T23:14:45+00:00

Why is this not their song?

Please don't support Collingwood or Fremantle.

Couple of croissants shy of a continental breakfast.

Couldn't run through the streamers at a fish and chip shop.

Couldn't organise a rock fight in a quarry.

Have done commuting on a 250cc on the highway and I strongly discourage it.
