Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Did my first ever trip (as captain in a 4-wheeled vessel) with my wife tonight. 60km round trip to Burwood and back.
Uneventful, except the construction muppets on the city-bound Eastern Freeway decided, in a space of 2km, to put up an 80, then 40, then 100, then 80, then 40 sign again before actually encountering any road work. Other road muppets simply ignore it and blazed past at 80 in the adjacent lane.
I remember being on the CityLink from the east once approaching the burnely tunnel and they closed every single lane into the leftmost one, opened it up, then closed every single lane into the rightmost one. So it went 80, 60, right lane closed, 40, middle lane closed, 100, 80, 60, left lane closed, 40, middle lane closed, then back to 100. Each section only lasted for one of the overhead speed limit gantry things, no wind, no roadworks, no roadworkers, no machinery
Deffo seemed like someone in the control centre was bored
In my car waiting to head in for this official event. Dilemma. I need to do a poop really badly, but I don’t think I’d ever get over the mortification of doing a poo in a diplomats house. I would, however, like the experience of pooing in a house that costs at least $15,000,000. The toilet alone probably costs more than my car.
Do it. Poo it. I once missed the chance to be invited into an old heritage listed mansion in Toorak with its own ballroom while I was working outside, because I felt awkward and thought I should beat the rain before heading home. I regret it to this day
Spent so much of the day exhausted, I decided just to use my seated ticket and I’m super happy with it, the view is great.

Oh no! Forgot to describe the image in my excitement
All good. Just remember for next time. Hope you had an amazing time, 2nd time around
So antsy to get the hell out of work tonight (3hrs to go), my anxiety boarders on panic the entire time I’m here. Honestly think I might have developed a bit of agoraphobia working from home for so long.
Omg the cancellation of the Commonwealth games is getting more media coverage than the actual games would have.
Funniest one I saw was that Melbourne will loose its reputation as sports capital of Australia. Oh sure, the public will refuse to attend all other sports now because the commonwealth games are cancelled. I’m fine with it being cancelled. A lot of money spent for no gain, money could be better spent elsewhere.
kid jumped across myki machine
all of the machines turn red
my destination isn’t a just walk out one
goes up to staff to tell them i can’t get in
staff: “do you know who did that?”

When you want to cover your bases. At least they put the correct way first.PSA: careful when handling your soup pouches fellas. The sides are incredibly sharp and sliced a big gash on my thumb.
What do you mean? Mine doesn’t have sharp edges…
Sorry probably a bad description. It’s just the sides of the packaging are awfully sharp. It’s like they laser cut it or something.
I was given extra food because I had to wait a long time for dinner and then I stupidly ate the extra food and it was too much food and now I am too full of food and extra stupid.
I have road tested the Coles brand lemon curd cheesecake and I’m impressed with the $6 dessert. A little on the sweet side but that’s being picky. 4/5 yum yums. 🍰🍰🍰🍰
I’m having a crack at making steamed eggs. Going to have them on microwaved rice I think. If they work, could be a nice easy weeknight dinner option. Following the instructions in approximately 1 zillion youtube videos.
Steamed eggs? I haven’t heard of that process before.
Do the eggs come out a lot differently?
Steamed eggs? Eh, it’s more of an Albany expression
Trying to curb the munchies with a boiled egg but most likely going to eat the damn egg AND the m&ms.
Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?
I’ll take anything right now. I’ve moved onto the m&ms though is that ok
Are they the crispy kind?
No the peanut ones
Oh :-(
