I should probably drop a review for Burger king fries I had at CGK jakarta airport.
The dream was to compare KFC but had to settle for jackas..
They weren't very good. and for 38000IDR (about $3.80) I'm starting to wonder if they gave me a small instead of a large as some sort of 'in' joke.
2/10.
The truffle fries with a triumvirate of dipping sauces at the hotel however.. for an inflated hotel price of $9, were bomb.
9/10 for those.
well that was a very cold walk. I normally finish a walk feeling warmed up, but today I am still chilly - especially my poor nose.
I have to take the dog for a walk today because she hasn't been in days cos I've been feeling crap.. definitely need to gee myself up for it
Still haven't woken up properly, nor have I emerged from the oodie knockoff except for a quick change from pjs to clothes.
Thank God (Gouda?) I did the shopping yesterday.
Nothing, let me stress nothing upsets me more than being thanked for my patience and understanding. The nerve of assuming you are entitled to either metro speaks fucking volumes about your service.
shit fart poem
Uncaffeinated yet avoiding sleep,
my guts protest the meal ingested.
Noxious fumes, smell it and weep.
The cat snorts; he feels disrespected.
G'day! Felt a bit guilty about not doing my workout yesterday on account of being absolutely stuffed from work and crashing early. Woke up to do it this morning and discovered that yesterday was a scheduled rest day! So it's day 4 and I've done my exercises. I feel different in a way I can't put my finger on, sort of a teensy bit fitter. Probably psychosomatic but it works for me!
Taking the Mini Peelers to Melbourne Central today, looks like a nice one out there!
i feel like taking a walk but it is still dark but i am taking the walk anyway
And in the latest instalment of Fuck Nestle, they are upset because they don’t want tax transparency. It’s really bullshit how our economy is dictated by big business. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jun/29/multinationals-including-nestle-and-roche-push-back-against-scope-of-australias-planned-tax-transparency-laws
Naughty Gladys has been found to be handing out funds whilst romping with her boyfriend. Tsk tsk
Thank You @Seagoon_bot for posting the Daily Rippa!
New movie for today was Grey Owl. I read this guy's books last year and read some bios too. Sadly the movie was a disappointment. Just a run of the mill bio. He is an unusual adult with skills and an interest who becomes a writer. The only thing that makes him different to other writers about nature and indigenous peoples is he pretended he was one. That is all. It could have been a good movie, spend time on his childhood and his beginnings. On the secret , have him hunted down by a journalist. Then public reaction and his legacy. ( and it's a good legacy, he helped start the environmental movement in Canada ) Maybe 2.5 hobbits out 5 and nice to see something that's not a marvel movie.

Is anyone experiencing when posting a comment and post then the site just throws you to the top when you didn’t do that yourself? What the heck?
The Bach cello suites I’ve been listening to while I work have ended. It was lovely, but I need something else now.
DJ DT, spin me a track
Oh joy, Emergency Room. Only 4 hours by some miracle. Wear your damn safety goggles people!!
You’ve done better than us. My mum and aunt took my 90 year old nana with stage 4 dementia to the ER today because she became completely non-verbal and thought she was having a stroke. 5 hours and they didn’t even give her a blood test. By that point she hadn’t eaten anything all day and was freezing cold. When my mum went to ask the triage desk people they just shrugged and said to call her gp if they were concerned. Mum was like ‘yeah I did. They said to bring her to the ER straight away because she’ll get more urgent care there.’ 🙃
Surprisingly unpopular opinion in my household, I think St Patrick's Day should be a VIC holiday.
I just reckon enough people casually follow it, so it would be a better holiday than some of our others. The main issue is the placing of it.
The day after St Patrick's Day if anything 💀
Same with the Grand Final day off...why the Friday? Let people get turnt on Saturday night, carry on into Sunday and have Monday to rehydrate.
The Friday seems silly, but I'll take it anyway
Hello again 3am. We need to stop meeting like this.
