Catching a flight back from LHR-MEL I was in the exit row in Y. A small dark foreign woman (I'm going to say eg Romanian) sat next to me. In a singlet top so the black hairy armpits were visible. OK she looked like she had a couple of tarantulas shoved in there. And she stank. Not just smelly...

From freezing lockdown Melbourne, would appreciate more snaps as the rest of you get out and about! At least I'm getting some good ideas for a holiday or two when we re emerge

I'm unsure if AFF'ers in other states to Vic have seen some of our prize examples of stupid people around. However one DYKWIA is sick of covid as she's "done every street in Briiighton' - and I've just seen a little shop advertising online a mask with that printed on. Brilliant marketing and...

A favourite of mine is 'bored of' rather than 'bored with'.

not to mention the poor employees who then can't work while the cleaning is taking place.I think as we have had the more stringent rules in place long enough for everyone to understand, the fines and other penalties should be increased. Maybe the thought of copping a $5,000 fine instead of a...

Speaking of singular and plural - looking at an old catalogue from a clothing company which informed me that my wardrobe could only be improved by a 'slim black trouser'

I'm not sure how to start a thread - many people more experienced than I on FF. What about one where we can write about one or two memorable experiences on our travels? EG one of mine was in Paris, we'd rented a little apartment near Saint Suplice, with a music/theatre/dance school at the end of...

Would DFAT help untangle this?

And moving house is an essential - removalists are exempt. Have a cardiologist checkup today which is essential as well. OTT I'm sorry

I saw that the newest season of Line of Duty was available on Stan. We watched about 10 minutes and then turned it off - we were so confused. Now we've gone back to the start & I'm so glad we did. We are still confused! Maybe not quite so much and goody now we have a nice solid 5 seasons to get...

Take your biggest kitchen utensil - it's usually the soup ladle! - & test it out in the utensil drawer. Almost always utensil drawers are made to the same dimensions as the cutlery drawer &not deep or wide enough to contain all the equipment

clippedwings I feel very sorry about your present situation - you sound to me like you have great inner strength, probably more than you realise. all the best - and make sure you call out. There are some terrific people on AFF with very good listening skills and much empathy

The outfit for my daughter's wedding. Was to be in Port Douglas, now all postponed till who knows when (a blessing in disguise as I'm suffering from Iso-fat)

Even commentators say offense and defense now. When talking about Aussie Rules. Only - they say O-fence and Dee fense I loathe the use of 'impacted' which was well known and loved as a noun when I went to school. Now it's a verb. Magic!

Once you start examining labels you realise how terrible our food labelling laws are here. I think there s already been discussion on how stuff can be labelled 'Made in Australia' but on closer examination it's 'from o/s sources' or only needs a miniscule amount of the product to be sourced...

Those damned Hopeless Dreams just keep sucking people in don't they

Thank you

That's all very interesting John. I wonder who worked out what to use the trees for - are they an indigenous species? What do you do with the waste product from the tumbler? If you burnt it for your nightly camprife I imagine it would smell glorious!

After over 30 years of driving Benzes MrMac bought a Kia Optima. We did a little zoom up the freeway to Ringwood and back to the city - Imagine our surprise when we had to fill up with petrol !We also had to call back into the dealership & I told the salesman - thinking it was an oversight - he...

I ordered a new Kindle from Amazon.au last Monday; it was available for collection at one of the Amazon 'hubs' which I'd selected as a newsagency 10 minutes away. You go to a set of lockers at the back of the shop, type in your code and ' ping' the door opens. Got it Wednesday arvo. I reckon...
