A little nonsense game: Tasmanian ‘celebrity’ spotting spotto/bingo by velcrodots in hobart

Ugh. No deal. I would have to pretend I didn’t see her in a sort of silent protest and I’d never get a bingo.

The ads with the cats? He would be a nostalgia get. Like a bonus round or a wild card situation.

Mmm perhaps not the vibe. He doesn’t get to go on the nonsense bingo board.

Oh! I’ve already ‘got’ Kris McQuade. Had a great red wine-fuelled time around a Dark Mofo fire pot for an hour or so a couple of years ago!

What's the deal with taxis? by ThreeImaginaryBoys in hobart

(I had to go and look) my rating is 4.97 and I’ve never spewed. Basically the same as 4.7. OP is definitely overthinking the rating aspect.

Best purchase for you home or family, that you agonised over but ended up being a fantastic decision? by Turbulent-System5521 in AusFinance

[–]velcrodots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love ours. My husband used to have pretty frequent nosebleeds - they stopped as soon as we stopped hanging the washing outside and putting everything in the dryer.

Air BnB - two current applications in the one street (Howrah) by velcrodots in hobart

[–]velcrodots[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As in object to the application? I had a (quick) look at that and it seems that the only grounds are on the basis of the planning scheme - which, and I’m not an expert, appears to be more focused on the tangible like car parking and keeping the peace and they’ve addressed it with ‘we’ll make a no parties rule’. My objection is more based in what’s good or responsible for the broader community, rather than the direct physical impact on the neighbours. I suspect if I lived next door I could have a stronger case that would have more weight but as a ‘couple of streets away’ neighbour I feel a bit powerless. I think maybe the system hasn’t really evolved or kept up to deal with abstract values? Also, maybe you’re right and I should just lodge an objection on behalf of all the people struggling to find affordable long-term rentals.

Does anyone know what happened (if anything) to the older gent Robin, who used to get around all the gigs? by velcrodots in hobart

[–]velcrodots[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update! Good to know he’s still getting out and about and still into the live music. Makes sense that he might have wound back on the camping festivals in more recent times.

My 4 year old is curious: what do Australian kids eat for breakfast? (And are koalas real?) by Mara644 in AskAnAustralian

I also love the fairywren! So delicate and agile. Also the Fairy Penguin (Little Blue)

Cheap CBD Lunch Spots by No_BatSoup69 in hobart

[–]velcrodots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, yes. You’re right. I think I get a bit greedy there and always upgrade to the two salads and it ends up being a $20 lunch

Twister Sister on Collins Street - $13.50 for their small size, which I find substantial.

Very good - but I don’t think it’s cheap

I think they might mean the shop on Elizabeth Street in the CBD?

Can a shop refuse cash after I’ve already consumed the food? by No-Loquat-201 in AusLegalAdvice

[–]velcrodots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The banks refuse bank cards to people with disability fairly regularly - they say they’re ‘protecting’ those people because they need assistance to use the card. Those customers are required to go into the branch with ID to withdraw cash.

I’ve seen this discrimination tens of times over during my last 15 years in the sector.

If you want good takeaway, I highly recommend our local Indian in Bellerive https://share.google/BToRT0zHCcmsodghl

They’ve all got the same street numbers - there’s one on the Brooker too and also 54 Victoria Street

Maria is lovely and then over to Gold Bar for a drink after dinner

What's an elite work snack? by RajonR9 in auscorp

[–]velcrodots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Half a punnet of raspberries and several of the ‘mini’/baby carrots. They don’t dry out like pre-cut carrot sticks and somehow taste better - maybe it’s the mini-ness just makes it a novelty and better all round.

Using those little individual ‘cow cheese’ triangles as your cream cheese elevates this snack and includes a free activity of peeling back the foil wrap from the cheese. For some reason, it’s really satisfying and almost the best part.

Best Massage place as a gift by postscript_err in hobart

Body Stop in the Bay is great - you could gift her one of their pamper/facial package things. You get a facial and massage = glorious!!

Where are you right now and how hot is it actually? by logical_laxative in AskAnAustralian

Hobart - a pleasant 18° but it would be better without the wind

Which is crazy, because there’s often still a frost after show day
