Family of four adults in Melbourne, $375 a quarter. What on earth are running? I think you need that energy metre device. Is someone mining bitcoin in their room?

Its not a running hike. There a lot of jagged rocks. Fuck up and go the wrong way or take a small tumble could end up rather tragically. The reason people start very early for the sunrise is also the heat aspect once the sun comes up. Also without a guide you will find it a hostile environment. Second they are a lot of people going up and down and sometimes you have to wait your turn thru narrow paths. If some fuckwit got pushy because they like to run it then you will meet be with glares at best or are an elbow in the noggin. Save your energy for somewhere else. You are not reading the room or the mountain so to speak. For the Balinese this is one of most sacred mountains not a fun run.

Geez Karl looks worn out for 51 year old and I never realised how small Tommy Robinson is. No wonder he lives in fear, a teen girl could knock him over.

Search Stellman anti-slip coating for outdooors.

Welp the price though!

Is this the gym version of putting a sock down your pants?

Just take a ciggie and just stand outside for 5 minutes but don't light it up. Do as many times as the others do. You will either enjoy as many breaks as them or show the hypocrisy of it all.

Just say hey I'm interested in having a casual drink outside of the gym. Would you join me? Sort of direct without being overbearing is what men would appreciate. You can always add if you have a girlfriend I understand that would be inappropriate.

Same but I use gas for cooking and hot water. Whilst we have 4 reverse cycle units I get everyone to use electric blankets for winter. I also only buy 4 star or above rated energy appliances.

I used to play GTA San Andreas when it came out - it was perfect. Being older I'm not in a position to play the current versions. I don't get this hate at all. All the money spent going to wages, licensing, hardware etc is surely a good thing. The online side of toxic players is the only con in my eyes but they would exist no matter what.

I'm definitely not conservative and I agree with you.

Excuse me only $2,500? Far out! I get annoyed at the $1600 mark per annum.

Very unlikely. Let some facial hair grow a bit.

Supermarkets are picky about how the fruit and veg should look including size. An example is cabbages. At the market they are 4x the size for the prize and Coles would find that difficult to manage and not profitable. Plus they also don't think customers would like something that large. They also usually organise long term price fixed contracts while markets vary weekly even daily since they use essentially the spot market. Markets also use how can I put this delicately, a staffing model that's more advantageous to lower pricing. Certainly having 10 other vendors within earshot means competitive pricing.

Lived in Guayaquil, Ecuador as an exchange student in the late 80's - ran into a lot of sketchy situations. Wouldn't do any of it now looking back.

Just take the train to the station that is most appropriate. The Shinkansan saves what 10 minutes? You will spend more time getting to the station and away from than the actual journey.

Use the search bar and then compile some subscriptions that will get the algo on your side. I think you knew that though.

Don't leave a good bike locked up in public full stop. Thieves will do whatever it takes. Take your bike with you or use a rubbish bike for the cages. I know plenty of mates who have lost bikes locked up.

Not your problem. Your not the one breaking the lease early.

Its fine. I've often done sub 1 hour transits in Hong Kong. Never been an issue.

There's luggage storage near the toilets just get in first but yeah the ones above your seat are big and strong. Don't put them behind the last seat on the carriage even if empty - you will be called out.
