Cool. π
OK first attempt at posting a photo...

When I first got my dog people would say "oh he's your boy" and I'm like "no he's my buddy". Now I'm like "come here to mummy. Tell me what you want". I even do baby talk with him which I never did with my own child. I love hearing him crunching on food yet hate it when humans do it.
Do you also ask your dog to go get mummy a beer?
Haha. I have asked but he chooses ignorance at times.
ain't nothing like a facebook rando threatening to do very real physical violence to you because you pointed out Doctor Who has always been a bit camp.
I thought most people (myself included) were into Doctor Who because it was camp...
I think this arsehole is one of the old guard who's all ITs SeRioUs ScIfI
yes, it is on occasion. It's also camp. And if he's gonna try and anorak me I'll fucking eat his head 'cos I'm equally old school and nerdy (40+ years)....I've just also got social skills and a sex life.
I'm in that demographic. Tell him Amos Burden is also a bit camp.
I should ask him to name a cherished UK show that isn't camp.
Are You Being Served?
Mr Humphries was a man's man, and I'll have it no other way!!!
I wanna respond but all I can think about is mrs slocum's pussy
And does Julian Clary not exist?

Good thing I panicked & spent a heap of coin and time on the watering systems in the last 2 months :(
I will be vindicated broken clock and all that but for now I have no idea if what is in actually will keep shit alive in a dry spell.
Ha this is me too. Just a few weeks ago finished a big four-zone system all done in about 120m of buried 19mm pipe.
Thankfully it's all phone-controllable, so we've just been able to hit 'defer' and not have it come on in the rain... but the defer button has been getting a workout :|
I was going to put in sprinklers etc as Iβd planted a lot, but the weather has been most helpful thus far. Was worried about planting early summer due to El NiΓ±o.

So Gibson is still sluggish today... Do you guys think it's still from yesterday's heat? My appointment with the vet is tomorrow. She's eating and drinking just fine. Just won't move from the bed....
Always worth a look if you are genuinely concerned! My idiot was all floppy and slow once, so I went to the emergency clinic and he actually had a pretty high fever. They gave an injection and it was no joke as if someone had rebooted him, once home it was as if nothing had ever happened.

It won't hurt her to go to the vet for a checkup. I suspect everything will be fine. It's a good opportunity for her to learn that a vet visit can be nice.
Thatβs just called Wednesdays in cat world.

MrsCalhoon, kidcalhoon1 & 2 are camping riverside in Warburton. .... They're wet.... From the BoM - possibly severe with heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding....good, good, not worried at all.....
yeah I hate to say it but I'd be pulling up stumps.
Lamb rump steak consumed - with glee. The airfryer does them perfectly. Juicy pink insides, crispy fat and the potat & cauli mash went superbly with them. Does anyone else hate cleaning lamb fat out of the airfryer? This is the only downside.

Trying a pressure cooker risotto tonight. Meatballs were incredible, so have high hopes.
Edit. Well that was bloody amazing. 25 minutes total prep/cooking time.

I didn't realise that AI extended to music but of course it does, and of course there's an explosion of AI covers/mashups and I do think we are in the end times. Late to the party but Holy moly.
Have this "cover" of Hank Williams doing Straight Outta Compton....

e: I realise now that the millennial-humour era of crude but funny mashups and covers - "ain't nobody got time for that" and "autotune the news" from a decade ago, and more recent mashups - is well and truly over and dead forever.
3 years ago - Donald Trump "sings" Blinding Lights by The Weekend (manual mashup) https://youtu.be/slGYJfPtW7c?si=F2WttIigap4VUU-j
2 weeks ago - Donald Trump "sings" Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (AI).

The Albanese government can absolutely go fuck itself. People earning $200,000 and over to get tax cuts equaling to $9000 a year, while low income workers get a measley $125 a year in tax cuts. Doing absolutely fuck all about the cost of living crisis while they're at it. Can't believe I voted for these useless pricks.

Just had some crazy bloke come up and start shouting at me. Ffs why do we put up with this city?!
I think that's a feature of most major cities. Not that it's good, but at this point I almost expect it.
Got the bins in just before the rain came over. Sipping a coffee and watching the weather through my window is blissful.
I've turned into an 80 year old somehow

Asked a mate of a mate if they wanted me to download a couple of torrents for them since I'm going to meet them to watch a movie.
Nek minit, I've ended up with JDownloader to manage a ton of debrid direct downloads and figured out SoulSeek (this place still survived after two decades?!) to get some random EDM flacs...
Feeling very 2000s especially with having to configure port forwarding and fiddle with UIs that probably haven't been updated since that era as well
After buying new decals for the bedroom I decided it was time to actually apply the ones I bought a while ago for the kitchen bench. I'm pretty happy with the result.

It's looking like a wet walk this morning. I just washed Mr Woof's raincoat, I guess we'll be getting it dirty again π
It's annoying when people can't or won't acknowledge the hypocrisy in their argument. It can't be ok for one group of people do something and not the other, just because you don't happen to agree with their position.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
