Ha,we don't get Today Tonight here thank F.
Had to throw the Chanel 7 quip in as it was on when I posted but as per usual they out do themselves with mindless *****.
I could tell some stories about commercial TV disrespectful,rude ,heartless,lying,muckraking sensationalist Cnut reporters after the bush fires here some years ago...but I won't .
I could have kicked the **** out of some of these arse wipes ( the lineup of locals wanting to do so was huge ).

Hoping this goes some way to redeeming myself in this thread :).
But I'm still happy.
 
The head cold that has been simmering all week has shifted into high gear, just in time for the weekend.
Nostrils feel like steak tartare. Mucus a thon.

Its ******.


On the bright side, I got a haircut for free when the barber nicked a blind pimple shaving the back of my neck yesterday.
It bled you wouldn't believe, really. But it was worth it to save the $22.
 
Bluuurrrrrrrgggghhhhh
 
Yesterday while cooking dinner for the family I was trying to plug in the blender and managed to knock my yeast starter off the stir plate on the kitchen bench, resulting in the following;
  1. Ruined the yeast that had been increasing nicely for 2 days from an out of date vial
  2. Broke my favourite Erlenmeyer flask, my only 2 litre one
  3. Sticky yeast starter solution all over the kitchen bench and floor
  4. As I had left a drawer partly open, sticky yeast starter solution all through the Tupperware stored in draw
  5. Annoyed wife and kids who had to wait longer for their dinner while I cleaned up the mess
  6. Pissed off husband/dad/cook/home brewer

Why are manual transmissions so hard to find in smaller cars?. I don't care how good the technology gets, an engine 2 litres or less needs a manual transmission. A dodgem car, fair enough, but not a real car. So hard to find a corolla or Mazda in manual.
 
Funny thing is, due to sheer demand, autos are now cheaper to produce for most new vehicles than manual boxes. Yet it's expected that you pay more for an auto so you do.
 
Is this except in cars such as commodores and falcons where they only make the standard models in auto not even giving you the choice?
 
*** me it was cold this morning.

1. Trying to make lists of things.
2. Can't think of things to make lists of.
3. Well, I just like the look of the number 3.
4. See item 2.
 
I would've preferred double spacings, NFH...but apart from that, that's a fine looking list.
