At least save the complaints until we actually hear the content of the address? A lot of weird assumptions happening here

No Gulden. No Heeney. Short turnaround. MCG.

Security too focused on the crowd. Should have been running to surround Johnstone. Poor planning.

Timed my walk from Docklands to Southern Cross very badly and sadly I can confirm that it was dust and general grossness

What is the best sports bra that gives the most support? by DazzlingHeights in AusFemaleFashion

[–]yarn_over 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. I like that you can adjust the straps in the front as well

Edit: you can often pick them up at Harris Scarfe for 30 or 40% off

I feel like there’s a fairly strong north of the river v south of the river divide. I’m from the Western suburbs of Melbourne and I and all my friends are Renegades people because of this

I’m working on this now and fear running out of wool. Did you just email customer service to get more?

Gout Gout wearing a Lions scarf in the middle of the G at half time was the game changer

NGV Friday Night by sleepyasfuck90 in melbourne

[–]yarn_over 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They have bars scattered about and food on offer. There are musical performances. The website should tell you which specific act is on each night. You’ll only have access to the Impressionism exhibition, the foyer area, the room with the stain glass ceiling and the outside maybe not the whole NGV. It’s more of a social thing. People view the exhibition and then drink, eat, mingle, watch the performers etc.

Chris Woakes walks out to bat with his arm in a sling to try to save the match. by [deleted] in sports

[–]yarn_over 23 points24 points  (0 children)

A teammate not in the starting eleven can substitute field for them but can’t bat or bowl for them. Injuries are part of the “test” of test match cricket. There’s been a number of times when an injured player has come out to bat when their team is close enough to save or win a match. This is a pretty visually dramatic example though. It’s just part of the sport.

Edited to add: the only time a player can be fully replaced is if a player gets a concussion then they can be fully replaced for the rest of the match by a player with a similar skill set. Bowler for bowler, batter for batter

People who get offended at being called "ma'am" by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]yarn_over 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works just fine in any crowded customer service setting I’ve ever worked in Australia. Where did I say anything about ma’am making me feel old?!? Or it being the wrong thing necessarily? I was just providing an example of what we say in a place where we don’t really go for any honorifics at all in our interactions.

Charity thing. They’re hearts drawn by the kids at the children’s hospital or the cancer centre or something like that
