First Gear-Grind of the new Forum

I don’t think it was part of a wider promotion, just a one off ad. I’m not 100% sure though to be honest

Next door neighbour has been renovating his place continuously since pre-COVID times. There should be a legally mandated freeze on drilling after doing it every day for three years.

If the renovations are still going after all that time you can take solace in knowing it’s costing them an absolute fortune.

Optus no longer having La Liga rights. Lazy fucks, get them back!

I have a monthly coffee order from Singe O. The emails received with regards to my order:

  1. Confirmation of order
  2. Cheers for your order
  3. Shipping Confirmed (order on the way)
  4. Shipment picked up by carrier
  5. Shipment in Transit
  6. Shipment out for delivery
  7. Shipment delivered

Do I really need to receive 7 emails just for an order of freaking coffee beans?

Sounds like a rough grind. I hope the beans aren’t too bitter. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmmmm… white people’s problems.

We’re the third in a row of villas in a battleaxe block. This morning my wife got a message from the second vila. Theyre complaining that I was going past at 7:20 in the morning with my oldest, and made enough noise to wake their kid.

Problem was, we were in bed at 7:20 having a sleep in. I know this because we never get to sleep in, and we left home at 8:30.

What grinds my gears is, even at 7:20, surely thats a time where you no longer need to worry abput waking people up. We’re not loud when we walk past, apart from the usual conversation or potential stern word to a child. This is the same neighbours who used to have the dad practice his drums at 9pm…

Walk past tomorrow morning at 7.20am belting out Forza Sydney FC as loudly as you can.

Pretend Rhyan Grant has just scored the equalizer against Australia’s Shame in the Grand Final.

This will inform yourneighbours at least 3 things.

  1. It was not you.
  2. Whomever it was this morning wasn’t that bad.
  3. you’re not a great singer.

How old is their kid? If its a newborn they may be in the throws of an irrational sleep deprived meltdown…

10… he apparently had a late night playing ping pong the night before…

With his father being a drummer, do you think it was a song? Just a song about ping pong?

I reckon you could probably be annoyed about consistent pre-8am noise on a weekend. But you absolutely can’t complain about a one-off noise event. That’s unhinged.

Noise pollution laws say have at it from 7am.

Trumpet practice 7:01am

It’s funny as a feel like we’ve generally had to deal with their stuff the most. It’s a small complex with a single driveway connect all the villas. When we renovated, we gave heaps of notice, made sure it was between work hours, there was no traffic being impeded or anything. When they renovated, they dumped a big pile of dirt out the front of their garage that prevented my wife from leaving the house. We sent out plans to everyone prior, whereas they built a giant monstrosity of a deck-cover without asking or anything.

They’re the type of people that have a huge pile of stuff lying out the front of their entry-way (shoes, toys etc.). My worst part, is they have black mould growing on their blinds and haven’t done anything to combat it. It’s clearly visible when you walk past.
