First Gear-Grind of the new Forum

Good to see Nick Stoll there, but he can fuck off with his America style half time show for the ALM.
But yeah that’s fucking grim

I’m more worried about at so many people willing to see a nonce tbh

That is sickening.

Remember though, that this is the country where people travelling thousands of kilometres to maybe get seen in the background of breakfast television. Nothing really surprises me there anymore.

Supposedly drake is buying off his fans to the tune of like $50k each night.

Guess that’s what you have to do when your rival calls you a paedo during the Superbowl halftime show

You wording is ambiguous so I’m not sure, but you are aware that this photo was taken in Sydney?

Itson Drake though for accepting it. Apparently it’s an actual part of his show now. One of my employees was telling me her and her friends were all going in the hope of getting a holiday to Europe paid for.

It’s a 20,000 person lottery… spend $300 and you could walk out $50k better off.

You just have to endure two hours of drake to win

Kendrick ended Drake with that Superbowl performance. Drake should just move to Tasmania and start a new life.

Back in my day groupies used to position themselves at the front for the benefit of the performers. They were more about giving than asking also.

When you find “the place” to buy. Everything about it is perfect…and you know immediately you are going to get outbid by like 20%. Fucking Sydney.

Definitely sucks! We had that happen to us twice during the searches and twice more about 8 years ago when we were first searching for a house. Have you registered properly and developed relationships with the agents? A fair chunk of homes are now being sold off-market, if you can get in and be clear with how much you’re willing to spend, they’ll generally hit you up earlier and then there’s less competition and you’re also not going to auction.

Probably something we need to do. Though that might be happening more at places outside of our budget potentially. We are definitely at the lower end of the market.

Sorting out aged care. So much to do and only a week to do it.

So he gives away $50k after getting $10m+ …

And then fucks off before he completed the tour due to “scheduling conflicts”

Or because the shows weren’t sold out?

All the real estate agents do it as they have individuals specialised for each price bracket. Our villa was around the 1-1.5 mark and there was plenty of off market inspections prior to selling. Real estate agents love it as it’s significantly less work for them and they don’t have to worry about auctions or weeks and weeks of open houses.

Stuck at a pathology centre listening to some old boomer whinge and whine about everything. We’ve already gone through albo, tax, debt, and the rugby five different times.

I’ll never forget being in rural Mongolia and two Victorians kept trying to get a stream for the AFL Grand final to work, without success. They kept going on and on about it, even trying to check scores as we were listening to a throat singing expert talk about his time in France and overseas.

Maddening.

Ran into a guy from Bankstown in Kho Samui. Very stereotypical Lebanese guy. We were at a gun range (i’d never shot a gun) and he decided to pull the Glock out and pointing it everywhere, including posing for a photo with the barrel pointing right at him. Walked out pretty quickly after that when he was waving it in just random directions for the true “gangsta” selfie
