Very proud of my kids right now. They just watched Terminator 2 all the way through and paid attention the whole time. It goes for two and a half hoursbut they were attentive/asking questions/getting emotional. Shows you just can't beat a good movie

great movie, under rated acting too

the effects are just awesome

the famous escape scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHqX2PRZ9bk

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

It's so good. It's put together so well and has just enough smarts to be the best version of a dumb action movie

His Lordship walks into my office cracking up "Hey Sammy's sucking his own cock" I go in and, lo, it does indeed look like that. I giggle with infantile delight. Then I move forward to kiss the top of his tiny peanut head like the inveterate cat lover I am and as I get close and he leans back I see that Sammy is in fact, fully erect and yes, he was sucking his own cock.

....pervert.

I love your one brain cell ginger kittens!

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh this little bastard has all the braincells. The most dangerous ginger.

Mostly they're like brendan frasier characters. Not stupid, but very very himbo.

Sammy is Charles Dance

Hey, we've all been teenagers

3 and a half months since I quit vapes/ciggies.

Made a huge difference to singing.

But I would still throw a workmate out of a window for a champion ruby rollie.

Daughter and her beau broke up. We're 'dating' for a bit, made it official...and like a week later it's over.

Daughter is a bit sad but not too bad.

I've already offered to pay the lad a visit for a 'friendly and constructive exchange of productive ideas'.

My son offered to drive there, to get his learner's hours up, and to physically assist.

Daughter declined the offer.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh the things I would do for a parent like you

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My kids are my life. That's the long and short of it.

I will say all that was (thankfully) in jest.

We know the dude, and the breakup was pretty mutual.

But if he got fresh or uncouth, my girl knows that I've got her back and his fucking spleen in an eski.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

his fucking spleen in an eski

Ooooh fresh meat too! I bet you'd bbq it up real nice πŸ˜‚

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

Either that or the black organ market... might as well make a few bob

saw an interesting minor altercation at the savers op shop

a sales assistant came t the jewellery section to put more stock on display , then after a few minutes she exploded, telling a young woman to back away, to give her some space,

apparently the young woman had been closely following her for 30 minutes, checking out all the items that had been set out very quickly before anyone else could see them, she had a basket of stuff, she looked like a reseller, she had her phone out to check items

reseller then complains that the assistant was being racist, why didn't the assistant tell the other shoppers to back away

well, another shopper said we were giving the assistant room and also the assistant said you were following her around , so no, there is no racism and it's not cool to call people racist The reseller was so angry, she just couldn't see how she had been harassing the assistant

You would think it would be wise as a reseller to get on good terms with staff.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 0 points 1 day ago

Resellers are scalpers imo, fuck em.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I maybe a little bit drunk.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Have a donut. Cut one in half fill it with bacon, let me eat meat vicariously through lemmy.

It's your birthday, so all good.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

book store visited, no luck, looks like on line ordering is the go

I did have a some luck at an op shop, found a 1960s red branch coral necklace for $5

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

were you following along closely behind the assistant for that one? :P

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

No. πŸ˜›

Check out Moonhoney jewellery online - she has a major thing for coral and some lovely pieces.

Hello 3 day weekend, it's been a while.

Cheers πŸ₯‚

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (9 children)

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

Sun is out, after a light lunch think I will go into the city and some book stores πŸ™‚

big beach walk tomorrow morning after the tides and floods have settled

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Back to melbs today.

Clothesline moved and in! Certainly won't be able to dig that out again. base is probably 100+ish kgs at this point and 70cm down.

Almost a happy bubble!

Didn't fk myself up or hit a pipe when digging so big success! I would like to pat myself on the back but it was honestly pointless. it was fine where it was. Did it as a favour for the p's but I know what will happen. When ol' girl comes down the first thing she'll do is complain, want it a foot to the north and use the dryer instead πŸ™ƒ

Which calls for a rave choon

  1. good work man
  2. tune is fucking sick!
[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

Impressive!

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 2 days ago

great job πŸ‘
