Instructions unclear (or I couldn't read them without my glasses), now Billy Joel is mad at me and demanding I get out of his house for some reason.
Not hungry today, but every time I see you say 'Beep Beep' my brain adds 'Barina' to it from the old Holden jingle.
Bloody advertising sticking around in my brain forever...
So sitting on the floor in front of the lounge room TV, just like we did in the 80s? :D
For real, if I'd done something like that I'd seriously be sleeping in the car. With the fishes. While wearing concrete shoes.
And to think, if you punished them, YOU would be the one to get in trouble.
Best long-haul flight of my life was an Economy Qantas flight 8 years ago, from Sydney to LA in the little 'secret' Economy section on the top deck of an A380. Stalked those seats online and changed ours when they came free a week or so before we left.
It was like Business-lite for an Economy fare. A little section of really only a few rows. Quick boarding, heaps of room, friendly, attentive staff, two-abreast seating so it was just my wife and I with no random third wheel. Made the trip SO much more comfortable.
The return trip downstairs was like being wedged into a cattle truck in comparison.
I'm doing one of the longest DOMESTIC trips there is in a few weeks and am flying a full-service airline.
I do this trip usually a couple of times a year and have been burned by Jetstar one too many times, pre-Covid I made the decision to just pay the extra and be done with it. Never regretted it.
Some of my family still insist on Jetstar even though they can easily afford the alternatives, and it's a never ending tale of delays, cancellations, lost luggage (on DIRECT flights?!?!), broken seats and misery and tears.

So cute :)
Oh I hear ya. I'm an old fart who started on Gopher, first browsed the 'World Wide Web' in Lynx in a Unix session and thought visiting AltaVista in Mosaic was the shit.
The way the net (and tech in general) has been in a downward spiral for so long, when originally there was so much promise, infuriates me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go feed my horse.
Tech companies using the term 'AI' is like Porsche continuing to use the word 'Turbo' on their electric cars. Meaningless marketing bullshit. There's no 'intelligence'. It's just the marketing buzzword of the year.
I have a high-horse on this subject and by god there's no way I'm getting down from it.
Oh god yes I'm here for the pickles.
After my wedding day and the birth of my child, I'd say best-day-of-my-life-#3 would be when I went to Katz's Deli in NY and consumed triple my own body weight in pickle-laden sandwich perfection.
Great, now for some reason I have Cornflake Girl by Tori Amos stuck in my head :P
Stupid brain.
Unless it has a bumper sticker saying 'My other car is a WRX' of course.
It's like when I wonder why all the people that work at the bottle shop near me are drunk.
