False...won a couple a hundy a time or two at the geegees but never cracked the 1k mark. TNP likes to have a flutter (bet on the horse races/dogs/trotts)?

I have the best work out... It's slightly exhausting and takes a while weekend but Hooley Dooley will it work....I know I can feel every muscle still burning . The Tuck Shop Workout. Target muscles...trapezoids, obliques, quadies, hammies, glutes and calves...how do I know...cos I can feel the bloody buggers yelling their protests. Time... 12 hrs a day...for two days. Exercises: 1. The Hotdog Roll / Melbourne Bitter Squats...let's put the cut up hotdog rolls in this tub on the floor...and the most popular beer on the bottom shelf of the drinks fridge. Then let's sell 300+ hotdogs a day...and 15 slabs of Bitters....(I'm not catching this year, nope I'll just do a couple a hundy squats in the tuck shop.) a slab is a carton of of 24 beers (a case is a box of 30 softdrinks, coke, Sunkist, solo, that sorta thing...this is important to know for Ron (later on)) 2. The chip frier bane Marie lift n twist...works best if done contually for 7.5 hrs coupled with the hotdog roll squat, shuffle, stuff n bag, counter hand off stretch (or the 3 steamed dimmies in a cup fill and offload stretch)...lift the 2 kg basket of chips, twist and dump in the bane Marie...stuff the chip buckets stretch to serve...repeat. .in 2 days we cooked 380kg of chips (fries)....bonus to this work out is the fluid weight loss...dripping sweat...sure I lost a kg or two in fluid alone. 3. Get the chips....hauling 5kg bags if frozen chips out of the chest freezer. 4. The back kitchen chip dash...running from our tuckshop to the hockey club tuckshop next door to get hit chips from the frier in there before they burnt, or hotdogs or dimmies from the steamer. 5. Bar fridge twist n serve....stand at the bar, twist open the fridge, pull the grog and serve.. often coupled with a lunging stretch to make the EFTPOS machine reach from the tuckshop side to the bar. 6. The restock obstacle course and slab walk....(cos I'm kinda lazy) to save 10m of walking and climbing down/up 4 steps... Walk to the retaining wall, sit on it swing ya legs over and drop, open the chill trailer, climb in and drag the slabs to the front.. use on knee to prop the door...pull the slab out, stack them on the retaining wall, lock the trailer, climb back over the wall load up the slabs (so one carton either hand or one slab either shoulder or 3 slabs on top of each other in front of you) and walk back to the bar and load the fridge, grab 2 cans twist, slide on shelf repeat, in a lunge stretch to hold the door open and also reach where they are on the counter. 7. Clean up....scrubbing, and washing and scouring and sweeping and mopping. So you want a good work out find a sport association hosting a 2 day tournament and volunteer in the tuck shop.

We have a winner... 1. Lie....I prefer to just wear thongs but when I wear shoes I never wear matching sicks....BUT...I always wear matching shoes....well a few times I've worn odd thongs Tova funeral but that had nothing to do with bad luck. 2. True....if I put something on inside-out or back to front it stays that way all day cos it's bad luck to change it, fate meant it to be put on that way. 3. Very, very true.

Fangin' I'm fangin' for a frothy. I'm really hanging out and almost anxty to have an ice cold beer. (It's saddly a phrase most said by smokers in need of a nicotine hit)

( * Y * ) naughty naughty

Here I was panicking all day that everyone would be waiting for the answer....but nope

Yeah nah...it's a NOPE . . Gotta say it's great being at softball and watching all the smokers cough and splutter...so good being smoke free.

I hurt..my feet hurt, my knees hurt, my back hurts...my shoulders hurt...my neck hurts...I think I'm too old for this shit.

I'm an NRT quitter coming up on 2 years smoke free and I think I used NRT for 9-12 weeks. I used gum but it was only ever going to be a short term thing, the NRT. Previously I had a long term quit I threw away that was cold turkey. The thing is I can tell you the time, the date, the day if the week I had my last smoke but I am not sure when my last NRT gum was....I know it was after I joined here...I know it was after another member commented that they were NRT free and I went...oh, I should do that. Now here's my spin.... Cold turkey is best BUT everyone is different and it's not the best for me ....so for me, right from the get go I was like "I'm a junky, my drug of choice is nicotine...I am addicted, but I am also addicted to the ritual and routine of my smoking, and I am addicted to the psychological aspect (which is the lies you nicotine addiction tells you to get a hit)...knowing myself I knew the first thing I had to deal with was the habit/routine and the psychological...the physical bit would be easy...retraining my self to function as a non smoker not so easy. So I went into the NRT gum thing as... The box says I should be having 1-2 4mg per ever hour...so I'd have 1 and see how long I could go between them...I'm a bit competitive, even with myself...so if I didn't have my first nrt gum until 9:30am then that was my new start time...no NRT before then....i wasn't clock watching for my next hit, I was clock watching to beat my last pb. I would alternate a normal Chewie for an NRT so even now if I feel a bit like I need a smoke and I chew any old NOT NRT gum the crave goes. After the first week I was on the 2mg gums and my whole quit I bought 1 pack of 30 and one pack of 250 and I still had more than half left when I stopped using them. NRT is fine if you need it...it does prolong the whole crave phase but the two golden rules any NRT user needs to have....go in admitting you are an addict and go in with an exit plan. Honestly I needed NRT and if I could go back I wouldn't change how I quit.

I started a panda but lost one of the colours so it is not finished .....it's fun to do and certainly fiddly enough to keep your brain and hands free.

1. I only wear odd socks because it's bad luck to wear matching sicks and if I feel really unlucky I will wear odd shoes for luck. 2. If I put my clothes on inside out or back to front I have to leave them like that all day or it is bad luck. 3. I hate the #13 because it is bad luck and I once left a resteraunt because they had me on table 13 and wouldn't move me. All they had to do was swap the number but nope.

Sitting on the couch trying to use the power of my mind to bring the remote to me from where I can't reach it....the force us not with me

So wish I had footage of the joy at the station tonight....from the platform we walk down this ridiculously long ramp at the bottom of said ramp is a chick with a dog on a leash..he's a bitsa (bits a this an bits a that) and looks like he has been through the wars, scars and bald patches... but as every person walks down he's scanning them looking for his people and then he spots him, thought he would rip the chicks arm off trying to get to his bloke...she lets the lead go, the dog bolts for his human who drops his briefcase and catches him in a hug and carries him like he was a kid the rest of the way down the ramp an up the other ramp to their car....so the dog had its paws on his shoulders and his legs sorta around his waste....best sight to end a crappy week to...an the bloke just chatted to him the whole way.

Sittin ona choccas bus squeezing my sphincter muscles as hard as I can to hold in a fart because I know it's going to be percussive an stanky ....I know this because I need to fart so bad my belly hurts like the billieo.

Last line says it all.... "If there's one place where all freedom bees ... It's nowhere else but here" If you Northies can't access this the Pigram Brothers are worth hunting out.

It was lookin a bit sticky for a while but they gave it a quick lick an a promise an she'll be right.

See this just makes me pissed off...instead of sitting on their hands and just letting this play out why the fruck weren't they doing their bloody jobs and say NO until this shit had been tested. This is beyond pathetic, beyond ignorance and naivety...these government bodies that exist to stop this shit happening need to face the blame for their neglectful approach to the whole vaping crap. Sure I'm angry at big tobacco and vape companies but I'm really pissed of at the world's greedy, money grubbing kick back hunting pollies and pen pushers.....there can be no innocent claims of "we didn't know"...just fed up to here with this bullshit.

Nope... Hey @Cbdave hope you and your mob were all safe from the fires...too bloody early in the year for sure.

-14 but don't you find a fringed flogger gives you more bang for ya buck?

Got home with a taxi in the end. So now I am sitting here watching will n grace reruns.

I'll take one for the team... 2 is the lie because Reci hasn't said the Jill or Saz have a chicken dinner.

-10....you can't go wrong with good ol lollipop crop...might even be able to find a train one or the female symbol

Sitting on the train...it's not moving but at least I am on it... 1st bus trip done, once this train gets where it's going there will be one more bus, unless the train is too late then there will be a taxi because I am not in walking 5.5km heels....(3.5miles for our yankee doodles).

Confession: I don't allow eating of the pizza on the couch...if the kid chooses to eat pizza she must set the table with a cloth and all. Vile foul stuff that it is.
