The only thing stupider than this stupid war is people trying to use logic to oppose it.

Who called it anilingus on a plane and not Skyrim?

Busy morning of apartment inspections, and we've stopped for lunch at the Chinese restaurant in Pendle Hill. It's a bit different from Ashfield lol.

The only sign I've ever been impressed with is at the park in Summer Hill that warns of children playing cricket, and if your car gets hit by a cricket ball, well that's just too bad.

I suppose the alternative is these sad swings

What miserable fuckers run this strata scheme?

I am awake and out of bed before 9 on a Saturday. Is this what Hell is like?

Have you considered that dressing up for book day is the day when the extroverted kids get to do books? Every other day is for quiet solo reading.

Shutting down the local gay beat is homophobic. But I expect nothing less from Cumberland Council.

I just heard the following exchange, which was between a Australian-Vietnamese woman and an anglo bloke:

Her: I was actually born on a boat between Vietnam and Malaysia

Him: Nice, were your parents on holiday or something?

Pen Island runs on island time

Irritated by whitespace.

"Sorry, I can't move the money out of my bank account because that's just where I like it to be."

"Attack a non-belligerent party and then lie about to make the other side look bad" is a totally nonsensical thing that no-one would ever do or the obvious move that provides a perfect explanation, depending on which side you think is doing it.

Sir, this is Pen Island.

I don't know, is it possible ever to come across as more the asshole than a real estate agent?

I use Energy Locals right now and I haven't had any issues with them – their gig is wholesale prices + membership fee. Dodo and Red Energy been fine in the past too. The only supplier I'd warn against is Alinta – I got lots of aggressive phone calls from them when I switched away from them.

Today in real estate agents, this guy went in for a handshake with such vigour that I thought he was going to rugby tackle me.

🚂📢 "If you see or hear something that doesn't add up, call ..."

Me: *reports my colleagues to the transport police*

Glad to hear the local medical centre isn't against health

I'm in Wentworthville! It's been years since I was last here, but the place still feels like home.

Same. And providing consular assistance to travellers suddenly stuck in war zones etc is good and fine, but expecting the Australian government to provide financial assistance because your flight from Madrid has been cancelled is nonsense.

Don't say it too loudly otherwise TfNSW'll hear and put out special red Opal cards for next year. Give the gift of the T5 😵‍💫

Opal top-up as a Christmas/CNY gift? Lol

The quotation is in the headline. You don't even need to click the link.

I'm sure all the people who have spent the last few days frothing at the mouth demanding he say this will promptly acknowledge that he said it and thank him for saying it.

Yes, lots of the responses are from people who are upset that the incoming Labor government didn't dig up Marx and put him in the Lodge.

(There's no need to use this as an opportunity to tell me about your unrealistic expectations and ridiculous ideas regarding the above.)

Unless you have wildly unrealistic expectations of what a prime minister can actually do and ridiculous ideas about what competent government is, he... hasn't been a disappointment.

Ah yeah, I should keep that in mind too. That's usually a cladding issue, right?
