Not quite a teenager when this came out. So cool and catchy and… different! Being a nerd I was into all things electronic so this was awesome. Of course the 80’s was the decade of electronic music and it was at its peak for me when New Order entered the fray and did their thing!… 🀩

Aussie government is scrutinising petrol companies for gouging. Panic buying at the pumps this last week was staggering. Like COVID toilet paper all over again. Yes and a damn good walk won’t hurt ya!

Yeah. Yowsers at the bowsers. 😭 Good thing we have 50c public transport for when you don’t need your wheels. πŸ˜…

Filled up 3 weeks ago for AUD$1.46 per litre. Yesterday AUD$2.19. 😬 Thank god I’m self employed from home. Wouldn’t want to be doing too many on-site visits!

Used to sell or fix combos like that back in the day. Cost a fortune here, down under, but boy the DTP users both needed and loved them! Such memories…

Now how about we swap this many units of our stuff for this many of your stuff. Simple trade and the money is poured back in to their respective economies and everyone gets the bang bangs they need πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Those β€œUSB-C” ports are USB 3.2 Gen2 ports at 10GBps. Yeah, nobody in the industry thought this through when they came up with the USB-C β€˜standard’ and it’s not just what the port supports. It’s also the cable you use too. No guaranteed safe purchase of a new cable for the average USB-C user. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ 😭

Sid and Marty Krofft were likely puffin’ stuff when they came up with those shows. Loved β€˜em. Especially Sigmund πŸ₯Ή

You need to specifically eat the leaner silverside cut and then drizzle with a simple cheese sauce perhaps with a dash of garlic in it. I’m drooling 🀀

OK so now we know you’ve got plenty can you slip a few of them over to Ukraine for them to do some hitting of their own?

Just change the country name as required and it sounds like something Trump would say πŸ˜‚

e.g. β€œWe say to Venezuela to prepare for what is coming. Everything is on table, including scenarios that were not previously under consideration.”

Don’t pick on Medvedev! He’s obviously making better points now!

With all this shit going on #ukraine #trump I need a happy place. Where is that?

I scan the ATC live streams from Morrabbin Airport Tower until I hear my son's voice & just listen to him guiding aircraft doing their taxiing, take-offs & landings.

Best ambient noise while I work! So proud! πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ

Working at a computer store in the 90’s flogging Mac’s and PC’s meant I got to play with all the new and cool software that turned up. This and Bryce 3D were… magic!

I spoke to him on the phone when he was on a radio show back in β€˜87. If you were lucky enough to get in the queue and if you got selected you could have a chat. That’s right I SPOKE TO ROLAND ORZABAL! My life was complete back in 1987. Been boring since πŸ₯±πŸ˜‚
