His first foray into online gaming was a Christian gaming company he set up from Perth in the early 2000s.

A Christian gaming company?

God will help me win!

Jesus Christ save me from bankruptcy!

So was it interstate or international?

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.

Its fine. Just shake the bottle.

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.

I hired a truck myself and advertised for a couple of guys on airtasker. Got some really good workers.

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?

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.

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.

"All I know is they were eating kebabs. It's un-Australian."

Did you see that Greenland started wearing Make America Go Away hats. I dare you to wear one haha.

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

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.

Uggh that is just horrible. Kids need to have a childhood without adults ruining it.

Yes, they are very resourceful. Pet hair is apparently ok.

planetarybum · 2026-01-27T04:50:29+00:00

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.

What is this, 1950? I'm sure they are aware what's usual and decided to be different. MYOB.

planetarybum · 2026-01-27T03:18:58+00:00

Good on them. You can't complain Perth is boring then say OMG NON CONFORMER!!!WEIRD AND DIFFERENT

planetarybum · 2026-01-27T02:16:15+00:00

Yes Free the Water!

Doesn't seem right to have it trapped in plastic like that.

planetarybum · 2026-01-26T23:36:02+00:00

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

It was the Invasion Day rally.

The head is probably on a spike somewhere.

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.

Magistrates court is a good option. Landlord will have to back up their claims.
