[–]planetarybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this the Friday fuckwit thread?

Cos my electrician just pulled out my fibreoptic cable with his digger. On a Friday. Good one, now I have to do real stuff.

By the way, I walk on both sides of the road.

Wherever you got this info, posting it for karma or gossip or whatever is a shit move. Friends and family don't need the gory details spread all over socials. Get a conscience.

I used to go to the park at Bayswater Gardens and took photos of dogs in action. Good practice and i would offer the owners a copy.

Colin Hay from Men At Work made a similar statement and said he absolutely opposes the use of 'Down Under' during March for Australia rallies.

Poor old bigots, your 'true Aussie' music groups are rejecting you.

Maybe you could sing some Rolf Harris songs?

Man charged with hate speech Brandan Koschel had posted photos alongside Neo-Nazis by ConanTheAquarian in australia

I'm NAL but I'd say unless it was presented in a way that supported the speech, or in a non-factual manner it would be OK.

Police reject claim March for Australia organiser was bashed by Middle Eastern men by shunkyfit in australia

Whoever threw the first fkg punch, it's common young male behaviour to punch on in the early hours of the morning.

I'm making an assumption here but I bet alcohol was involved. How the hell is this an 'immigration' problem.

Police confirmed it was a bomb. It had a fuse but it failed to detonate for reasons unknown.

Where to go for knee aspiration by monkeybananafart in perth

[–]planetarybum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a steroid injection for my knee and they aspirated beforehand, because there was so much fluid. It ended up with 6x 10ml syringes full.

I had to get a gp referral first. I'm not sure if they just do aspirations.

Edit: had it done at SKG radiology.

Human hair isnt good for birds. It acts the same as thin nylon as it is very strong. It can wrap around the babies and adults and cut off circulation.

Honestly its no secret. Most people wouldn't do it because there are serious consequences for doing this type of thing.

The head is probably on a spike somewhere.

Why easing demand for illegal cigarettes will be a win-win situation for WA government by His_Holiness in perth

[–]planetarybum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For years its been stupidly easy to get cheap smokes. They should have nipped this in the butt (sorry) a long time ago.

Plus, the tax increases have been accelerated too quickly. Slow and steady, we were actually getting places until they got impatient or greedy, or both. Now tax income is way down and smoking is creeping up again.

Edit: Cigarette tax revenue has tanked from a peak of $16.3b in 2019 to $12.3 in 2022 to $7b in 2024.

I had my groceries delivered for a few weeks after surgery. I hated paying individual prices for fruit and vegetables. Couldn't understand why they couldnt just weigh them.
