    You all good down in Geelong Steve?

    Apparently a massive storm just smashed through there guys. Batten down the hatches pauly, western burbs are next

    Office at work got flooded, roads in town were like rivers apparently. At home there wasn't any sign there had been a storm, it must have completely missed us.

    Oops. I thought you might've pictured BP and his tent being washed into the bay. 🙂

  4. Gerro should be hard to beat on sunday.

  5. So ...... Barbie gets "real". I'm looking forward to the trend continuing and seeing Action Man with a pot belly and fluoro vest.

  6. [censored], I've caught the gardening bug crazy-time. What's happening to me?!!

    During yesterday's storm I was out in the pissing rain moving pots that weren't meant to get too wet, and I even brought some inside, leaving puddles. 😄

    I've also been going to Kmart (Burwood) at about 2am to buy cheap succulents ($5 for the tiny ones) and cheap pots in which I plant stuff at 3am, with a miner's lamp on me head. Now that I'm closer to 50 than 45, is this normal? :p

    I even have a propagation tray with succulent leaves that are growing babies.

  7. lols

  8. Yes completely normal. (isn't it?)

  9. Got an urgent request for a Cadbury Twirl 'Mint'. These moments are not a discussion.

    Shortly thereafter I find myself in a car on a solo mission to safewaystopartwithyourmonays. I masterfully navigate the most efficient path to the lolly eisle, for nothing sharpens the mind like an unfinished episode of Making a Murderer on the netflicka.

    It all starts to turn nasty from here. No Twirl 'Mint'. Yes a shelf label. No real thing. Do I still have the tent in the back of the car? Surely I cant go home. Failure wasnt and option and the 'heres a substitute product and a big smile' caper is sheer lunacy.

    Two fat chicks in safeway snot green shirts then come down the eisle. Shelf packers! I approach. Yada yada - 'if they aint on the shelf we aint got them yada yada.

    As I disappear into the distance in a shroud of disappointment I overhear them:

    Fattest Chick to Fat Chick 2: 'Have you tried one of them yet? Those new Mint Twirls?'
    Fat [censored] to Fattest Beast: 'Nah.'
    Supreme Rotunda to Wildebeest 2: 'Ohhhhh Sooooo Good. Soooo Good.'

    [censored] unreallllllll. [censored].

    **********

    Dear Safeway CEO,

    Please excuse my handwriting as I write to you from the modest confines of my tent.

    I have discovered why your business is underperforming relative to Aldi.

    You are hiring too many fat chicks who are eating the food faster than they can stock the shelves.

    Stop hiring these chocolate hogging porked up wildebeests.

    Yours Faithfully,

    GV.

  10. LOL Too funny Vadar!

  11. Lolz at vadar

    Nev, this is normal. Today I had a 3 hour ride, demolished a pile of pikelets and a pot of coffee, picked tomatoes and beans, pulled weeds and dead headed roses. Congrats you're an old cnut

    That's good to know, although I kinda like thinking I'm weird.. I also grab pots of hard rubbish piles in the middle of the night, 😄

  13. Some of the Weight Weenies are complaining that some teams are disrespecting national flags and national tops by making [censored] like this 😄

    Go [censored] yourself. Not only didnt you visit me but I cant recall seeing you post one picture of any cool tassy adventures etc. I vaguely recall your last trip to tassy and we got pictures then! I think on that trip you were having a few tears about it being scary and windy at night alone in the forest. That I can relate too.

    Anyway looking forward to an update.

    You could have at least tooken a pikchor of your big turd you blasted into (even better if adjacent to) classic1s bowl.
