      This is excellent. I was just thinking the other day that I was sad because I hadn’t heard a good new joke in a long time but this has brightened my day, thank you

    About to get up a ladder and clean some gutters but…

    Spoke to the old man last night and was reminding me about the ambulance vic subscription.

    Then he decided to tell me about one of his buddies who recently had a fall off a ladder.

    Apparently he fell backwards and his leg got caught between 2 steps quite high up, leg snapped in half and he was just dangling there until his wife found him an hour later.

    Fucking nightmare fuel really bad timing.

      Ouch. People do get very blase about ladders and disregard the risks involved. It’s also something that people insist on doing when they become too old to do so safely (like driving). Stubborn old men who insist on climbing on the roof are a fairly frequent category of rescue the Fire Brigade go to, when said stubborn old main realises they can’t get down again or have a medical episode from the exertion of climbing up.

      Apparently the stats for men over 50 falling off ladders are quite startling. If you are under 50, then maybe you’ll be OK …

    At long last after weeks of procrastination I took my haul of manzano chillos from the fridge (and washed off some fuzzy growth…) and a head of good garlic and made this forbidden smoothie

    Chucked it into an ice cube tray to make little cubes for wintertime pasta/stir fry.

    Also took the uselessly spicy Thai chillis and blitzed it with ginga, garleck and little red shallots plus some lime joos, and dried shrimp, fried it all in oil. THIS thing is almost unusably spicy. I hope it mellows out over the next few weeks. attention @Bottom_racer

    hawt hawt hawt

    RIP my fingers though, I was doing well until I got some spicy oil on one hand.

    I know one of those blokes that has gone missing in Sydney… It is not looking good for them at all. :(

    We’ve been invited to a wedding but the reception joint was set on fire last night. Interesting. More to come…

      Yeah just saw this image from my relatives all the way in Delacombe. Looks worse than last week’s fire around Burrumbeet or wherever it was.

      Really glad we’ve had no bushfire smoke in Melbourne so far, although my air purifier is sitting pretty

    I forgot to water the plants all of yesterday because I was in the shittest mood/energy so when I greeted them this morning I felt a wave of resentment radiating from their wilted leaves. I will promise to give them a supplemental water as needed today.

    This motherfucker is just growing like there’s no tomorrow though, ever since I put it in a pot with a water reservoir. Time for a big chop tomorrow, freeze the leaves for use over winter, hopefully the new growth will stabilise over the next couple months.

      Nah because the air con is on but when it’s not, my dog will dramatically flop down on the carpet like those fainting goats. We call this “dead dog”.

    New computer parts arrive today and it’ll be too hot to do computer work.

    I got this massive tempered glass computer case as a gift and let me tell you it isn’t worth it.

        I forgot to reply to this, but it’s a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL case a friend gave me a few years ago. The front and side panels are glass, and it’s about twice the width of a regular case to fit the power supply and drive bays in their own special areas.
