And a very stern adjudicator indeed!

I’ve never really liked clowns. Creepy, even the innocent ones. But Z & Z were more than just creepy. The Commedia dell’Arte has a lot to answer for.

Pure honey gold.

Weren’t they both? And a lot of rural shows as well. Remember going to the Show and seeing them there. I fully agree with @taleya that they haunt nightmares. Apparently one of them was a serious pedo but I can’t remember which. Both drank and you could smell the grog a mile away. The things that parents think kids like is one weird list.

article? please post!

A study in caramel.

Cycling past Victoria Park on my way to work this morning. Extra loos & rubbish bins, and a shit tonne of security fencing. You’d think they were planning some sort of event in the near future.

Thanks chef! Have a lovely day!

Glad to see you’re feeling better chef. Could I please have 2 roasted bananas stuffed with chocolate and a glass of milk. Need calories! Need calories!

He looks remarkably sinister in this photo. Not walking, stalking through the undergrowth.

Chef, chef, should you be cooking when suffering so much? You look after yourself properly, you hear! I will make myself a cup of tea so you can relax a bit. ☕ And here is a nice hot drink for you too ☕

The universe has clearly decided to give you a break. Which is very nice of it. Does happen sometimes.

Would loooove to take undeserved credit for this, but can’t. I am technologically maladapted to the modern computerised lifestyle and cannot offer assistance in such matters. As befits my boomer status. But I am delighted that it all worked out in the end.

Dark mode is something you have to EARN! It is not for everybody. Respect their choices!

Overall majority of all voters in Australia PLUS a majority of states have to have a majority YES vote. Not all states, just most of them. And NT & ACT and the islands aren’t states for this purpose but do contribute to the overall score. So Vic, SA, WA, NSW, Tas, Qld - we can spare two states to the cookers as long as the overall majority is a Yes vote. We just have to do our bit.

The master of timing has done it again - stepping down while most of the cookers are playing referendum politics. I am in awe. I wonder who the cookers will protest about from now on. Not that reality features in their rhetoric.

I assume Ted Cat is no kitten, cos if he was then his balls may not have descended far enough when the neutering was done. He may have had a cryptorchid too. It does sound like whoever neutered him did a very poor job of it. Maybe hurried, or maybe the paperwork was done but not the neutering. He’s purebred, isn’t he, even though he’s a rescue? Is that on his papers?

Just can’t trust them …

It waited until after the wedding, so it wouldn’t get picked and used in the floral arrangements …

This is major weird. Normally they have Jeff’s shed and the Exhibition buildings at the very least. Others as well. I wonder if all their usual venues are already booked?
