  • I love ice cream, and a 1l or 2l tub is lucky to make it past 2 days.

    But I struggled with my last tub. It’s the first time I can remember that I went ‘Nah, I don’t want any. It’ll be too cold and just unpleasant’. I could only bring myself to eat it at lunchtime.

    And now I’ve actually stood in front of the fridge at the supermarket and gone ‘Brrrr, no I’m not buying that. It’ll be cold’.

    Somebody help me. I’m now literally softer than ice cream sitting in the sun on a summer’s day 😢


  • Also, IIRC one of the key points for introducing the sin bin was to penalize foul play and make it easier for refs to apply it because everyone was too scared to send someone off, and everyone whinged that having 12 players for all or most of the match was too harsh.

    I’m for sendoffs and sin bins. If those aren’t in place you are going to have professional hit men out there to take out the opponents best players. And their team will get the 2 points, or they win the GF or SoO then they get suspended.

    Consistency is what’s needed. And you see the lack of it in plenty of decisions, sometimes even within the same game.

    Overall, I like the review system and challenge system. There are plenty of sports where it’s an absolute shitshow. EPL and NBA come to mind. The issue is only around consistency of decisions.












  • ALDI is pretty terrible if you don’t have a really basic White Australian diet.

    I get what you’re saying. They’ve got the basic Aussie Italian, Mexican, Asian covered. You’ll never beat shopping at the specialty supermarket/shop for whatever cuisine you’re cooking.

    But as a somewhat counterpoint to this, I quite enjoy their weekly(?) deals where they have mostly pantry foods and specialities from a particular country. Sure, they’re not available all the time, but there’s been plenty of times I’ve gone ‘OMG, it’s xyz from country 123!’ and you’d be lucky to find it anywhere in Australia. My eyes must’ve bugged out of my head when I saw they had white asparagus 🤣
