I still drink Nescafe 43 to this day

Oh please! That is so from the suburbs.

The closest Albo gets to shining is when the sun reflects off those massive rat like incisors.

He really does have distinct murine characteristics.

I do wonder about the engine and battery wear-and-tear factor with the cut-out switches.

Most engine wear occurs on start up because the lubricant isn’t quite where it should be…..

Never move into a share house if there’s a guy with a drum kit set up in his bedroom.

Rules to live by.

Apart from the noise, drummers as a class are not likely to be good housemates.

There is only one Phil Collins.

Johanna use a French Press, Ikea Upphetta 13.4 oz,$9.99. Use a coffee measuring spoon, compress the coffee against the side of the container for consistency, use the cup you’re going to drink out of filled to the top with less than boiling water, pour into French Press. Fit the plunger wait for a few minutes the firmly but slowly plunge the coffee. It should make the right amount. Don’t boil the water as it makes the coffee bitter. Vary the length of time brewed to mellow the flavour and vary the amount of coffee used according to taste. I use two measures of Vittoria Black Mountain. The dregs get rinsed down the sink. Easy.

The greatest advancement in the Australian civilisation in the past 30 years is that it is now virtually impossible to buy bad Australian shiraz — and coffee, provided the latter in brewed onsite in an expresso* machine.
Good coffee is Italy’s greatest gift to Australia.
*yes, expresso. Espresso is for wankers whose cultural cringe lives in Milan.

I thought “Expresso” was Rex coming down the mainline and Ken Worth was crossing and had an emergency hole in the floor moment.

. For 18 months we ate steak, peas and mashed potato every night except Friday. Still can’t face the thought.

Loogshury. Wimp.

I’ll see your steak etc and raise you tuna casserole.

Thanks for that Kneel, might help the missus, if she looked at it.

Instant coffee debate.

Next up – watches.

Needs to be in a foam cup stirred with an ice cream stick to unlock the full flavour!

With powdered “whitener” (whatever the fuck that is) which doesn’t fully dissolve and leaves a few gummy lumps floating on the surface.

It reminds me of the US. An admirable country in many ways, but it always amazed me how awful their favourite drink, coffee, was. The concept of putting actual milk into coffee was completely alien outside specialist outlets. Your ‘endless cup’ came courtesy of a jug on a lukewarm base, and was better than Pablo, but not much.

I’m currently reading Billy Thorpe’s (of The Aztecs) book about Kings Cross in the 1960s, and it reminds me that we have been lucky enough to get good coffee for a long time. Those big, hissy machines imported at great expense by Italian migrants in the 60s and 70s mean that our cafe and restaurant coffee is pretty damn good.

I can remember getting cappucinos – ultra kewl – in the late 60s and early 70s. Meanwhile, Murricans were still drinking stewed swill. Maybe that’s why Starbucks took off.

That’s “Islands Style” real milk is never available!

It’s a Code Brown moment until the vehicle disappears under your windscreen.

Then it’s just waiting to hear the crunch.

I am very pleased to say that of the 3 or 4 I have had in my life so far between tourist trains and mainline work, I haven’t yet heard the crunch…

Before or after How dare you! wordwall?

then said staffer gets $half a million “let’s -forget-it-happened” money for something an investigation decided was A-OK

The problem with shut-up money is lefties never shut up.
#Stormy

Lib staffers tend to be lefties because the Libs are controlled by lefty Photios acolytes and no visibly righty staffer would ever be allowed into the hallowed halls.

“Coffee” and “Instant” are two English words which should not be seen in each other’s company.

You have no class, Sancho.

Barista, it’s a thing man. Sort of like when some fast food chain tried to turn slops gopher into “wrap artists” to increase the esprit du corps among employees. Works on some people for a while. You’ll own nothing and be happy continues apace.

You have no class, Sancho.

Maybe, but plenty of taste.

That’s the third time I’ve heard that today.

Not surprized.

Dot:

Tranny on Medium ladypages calls straight men bigots for not wanting to date, kiss or have sex with trans “women”.
It totally backfires. Normies are calling this out as basically the same as demanding lesbians to have sex with straight men, and that the trans activists have demands far beyond what the gays and lesbians ever asked for – basically acceptance vs capitulation.

These freaks might be able to fool my eyes, but they sure as hell can’t fool my dick.

Forward contract prices for canola for next harvest are just over $1,000 tonne.
$600-700 is the usual range.
