Hmmmm... Let's see if I can do this right this time... 1. I once competed in a karate tournament and finished third after fracturing my foot in warm ups before my first fight. 2. I once walked for 15km on a broken ankle because I didn't want the guy I was crushing on to think I was a woosy. 3. I broke my own nose and eye socket why I dropped my shoulder doing a slap bunt and smacked it into my own face.

2 is the lie.

Larry.. a loser, as in Larry the Loser... Bob is such a larry.

@Cbdave it was frickin grouse. The kid (fussiest eater on earth) has requested it again. I didn't have any bay leaves but I chucked a couple of lemon myrtle ones in. I'm all set for some chuck on Monday night.. going to try Asia flavours now.

Woohoo @Wantsit well done on being 75% of the way to that first year. 3/4 of a year is huge. Make sure you do something special to celebrate.

Yep...even if it's just a piece of fruit. TNP has had bread and butter pudding

Oh...I thought it was In My Honest Opinion...thanks @reciprocity, dunno if I'm into doing humble.

I don't know. I have just not had to budget everything around having enough money for smokes. Fair wack will have gone on the chemist as one of my meds is not PBS listed. I have increased my donations each month. I buy the kid brand name close. Better cuts of meat at the butchers. Occupational therapy for the kids dyslexia (it's experimental so not covered) and her physio for her knee.

A genetically anomaly is some primordial ooze on a day when atmospheric conditions were optimal....or god clicked his fingers.. you choose @Martian5 .... I rest my case! .... mathematics says no. Cos you're their bunnies....it's psychology mate, pure and simple, they have the mind set that they always do well against you and subsequently they play outa their skins...your mob have the psychology that the Marlins have ya number and get in their own heads and play like shit..... Your welcome.

The Ashes are a series a cricket test matches played between Australia and England. Cricket is like baseball, only requiring more skill, talent and stamina ....so the two countries play a best if 5 series, but each game takes up to 5 days and you only have 2 innings each...and the winner gets this charming little trophy.... Which is the holy grail of cricket..it's a little terracotta pot 11cm (um about 4-5") that holds the ashes of a burnt bail.

2 is the lie, cos how can he grow them if he doesn't touch them.

And the winner is @Jordan7 .... Last night there was no annoying music on the train. 1. Sadly, very true...still have a residual ache. 2. True....and trapped in a 4seat so couldn't escape. 3...lie...no annoying music last night, won't mean there isn't this morning or tonight.

Dad training!

Yes there is a lie!

This is the perfect spot for this thread @Matt B. So the games thread here is not anything about computer games...it's just games you can play to help get past a prickly moment, they are more social interaction. Music threads are good too. During my first week a customer in Sydney made a comment he had to call before I went on smoko...and I felt pretty stoked to tell him I'd quit...his advice, just worry about not smoking today, one day that's it. Only focus on the day. If ya into omens I quit just before an Ashes series, an still going strong so clearly Ashes season is a grouse time to quit.

@Sslip's (algebraic) Law of X....or the SLOX....an invaluable tool in the games thread for all those A-Z games....just like in Algebra (see kids, it did have a purpose) X = a number.....and therefore an "X" could be played instead of skipped.

Hey Matt, just dropping in to say good idea and welcome. Nice to have another Aussie onboard, even if he is from Sydney...at least it's not Adelaide

Hmmmm...... At the time of writing.... 1. I am on a train and some random man in my vacinity has bathed in cheap aftershave that has given me a headache and I am considering hunting him down so that if I spew I can aim at him. 2. I am on a train listing to two moron women graphically discus their sex lives and learning things I never even imagined being possible let alone enjoyable while the skeezy guy sitting next two them tries to hide his grown erection behind his newspaper. 3. I am sitting on the train listening to someone at the other end of the trains crappy music through the tiny speaker of their mobile wishing my headphones went loader or cancelled noise.

8.. mornin Andy, congrats on ya Anni.

Oh...I nominate @Boo's 2nd anniversary gift request of a recliner...now the stock standard 2nd year gift. Boo's Tennessee Special.. more redneck than lidodeck...but we forgave @reciprocity, it was an easy mistake to make.

What are you doing in here???...the parties on the Lido Deck

Congratulations @abbynormal for being 7 months smoke free. Well done Abby. 7 months is a great foundation for a lifetime of freedom. Make sure you do something special to reward yourself for this milestone. You are doing so well.
