we had egg tarts in Macau a few years ago - freshly baked and warm - ate them every day we were there (3 days I think). Apparently even the Chinese think the ones in Macau are the best :)
Hard to know. But they have to have a deep yellow colour
Now adventurous people and I know you are - please try Chicken feet at YumCha

Well the egg tarts were introduced to China from Macau so......All the ones I have had, Chinese, Macau and the ones today were all very yellow and delicious.
 
Yes they are but should be characterised as men/boys rather than males.
So should radical Islamic terrorism, African gangs in Melbourne, middle eastern crime, Asian gangs etc etc

Call it for what it is!

Sure but what is the difference between men/boys and males?
 
Googling that. Since 1999 they’ve been white male shooters.
Though the San Bernardino shootings in 2016 was by a man and woman.It certainly was mass shootings and since it is left out of numerous statistics backs up Quickstatus's point.

That seemed to be a terrorist attack. These shootings are deemed not to be terrorist attacks just randoms going crazy with no political agenda. I see a difference.

Behaviour!

I’m still not seeing the difference between men/boys and males.
 
So the cruise liner with the Melb wanna be gang family has offered 25% disc to all pax and apparently this is "unacceptable" (I was expecting more to be honest).

Heres the thing, I can be on a small resort of <60 people (inc staff) and not see the same face twice/have privacy, wouldnt that be the same as a cruise, if not more? Pretty sure if a particular group of people felt threatening, it would be easy to avoid them if I wanted to. Or am I wrong?

I think their offer is utter rubbish.

It’s the thought you may encounter them again and you can’t simply avoid them because unless they got locked up they could be just around the corner.

Irrespective of whether it’s on a cruise or in a resort etc, if travelling on a holiday with kids and you witness a scene like they would have seen and then been threatened then regardless of whether you do see those folk again, you will always wonder wherever you go if they might likewise appear again and cause trouble.

The holiday is pretty much not just ruined but kids have seen behaviours that are completely unacceptable. Maybe that’s a learning for them but no parent would want their kids to experience it.

And given the crew were told and did seemingly nothing makes them part of the issue.

The CE? made the comment that once the people were evicted then everyone could enjoy their holiday. Pathetic comment given there was just 1 night left.
 
I can hear my husband (after I turn the TV off) hiding in the laundry room, whispering on the phone to someone, about meeting them in about an hour.

Him: How much? Youre available if I come down now?

Some women might first wonder if hes cheating, I of course figured hes talking to a guy about a guitar he doesnt know that I know he wants to buy.

Apparently me saying "No more wood finish guitars as you have too many of the same" = (In his head) you need to buy a blue guitar.

... and a red one, and a black one, and a white one, and ...
 
Thankfully, he doesnt like the colour red and has a black one and a green one and a white one and a starburst one and a black & white one and a ..... :)

Told him I really need to put him on a budget.
 
One of the problems with retirement, lot's more extra time to search for things to buy!

I had bought bulk pens to take to Laos, however the transport company (not AusPost) has managed to loose the parcel, grrrr.......... Not the first time I've had issues with this particular freight service.

Pity you don't have a say who sends the stuff when you buy. They should be called "Lastway" imo.
 
Watching a real estate show.

Buyers/3 guys: We need space for band practice (guitars, drums ect).

Me: Do you REALLY think the neighbours are going to be OK with you moving in and playing drums for hours and hours.

Next scene, they walk up a very quite street to look at the house. Yeah, they'll last 1 day of rock band practice before the cops are called.
