Stuff around town…

Stuff around town…

...including another installment of 'this week in consumerism'. So a month or so ago NAB (one of the big 4 banks here) launched a campaign against the other 3 biggies. Obviously they aren't the only banks in Australia and some time last week I saw this: Nice one. Here are some other things I've come across lately - sharing because they either elicited a good belly laugh or a huah? reaction. Apparently you can now outsource breathing for your employees - oh good, I was worried … [Read more...]

Definition of Irony #1

Apparently I can’t boil water. I can make a mean cake, bake beautiful bread, create a mad curry paste and turn pretty much anything healthy [except this insanity, I don't want to even try to turn this healthy, I want to undo 4 months of healthy to sit on the kitchen floor and eat the entire pan with a big glass of milk], but what happens when I boil water….this: oops. Luckily I caught it before it started to smoke, just.  Yes I boil water for tea in a pan.  No we don’t have a kettle.  … [Read more...]

Arm-holes, A-R-M

Most trends come and go pretty quickly and I don’t tend to comment too much... [although the 80’s resurgence is overstaying it’s welcome a bit, and really, if you are old enough to have worn the stuff the first time around, tread lightly on this go.] So I snickered quietly at Jeggings last winter [you know, the leggings PRINTED with pockets, seams and a zip flap to look like jeans], rolled my eyes silently at the black canvas sneakers with black socks and dresses last summer, and just shook … [Read more...]

But it’s all sparkly

But it’s all sparkly

I saw this card the other day: "One of the most difficult tasks in the world is to convince a woman that even a bargain costs money" I, for one, understand that concept completely and all I have to say about it is... ....but look at it, just look at it, isn’t it beautiful?  And guess what, its ON SALE! And it would match the new rug just perfectly! Good thing that was on sale too, we could use what we saved on the rug to get the chair, great idea, huh?! Well, it's … [Read more...]

RJ while watching American Football during a break in the Cricket: “look at that quarterback, doesn’t want to get tackled so he just falls on the ground – ‘oh don’t tackle me, oh it might hurt’, wuss.” Me: "Hahahaha – the Football tragics addicts back home aren’t going to like this one very much." Yep, I'm in that kind of mood today. … [Read more...]

20-something girl to guy behind the counter: "...and what are you doing this weekend?" Guy behind the counter:  “Oh I’ll probably just spend time with the family and play some Atari” 20 something girl: "What’s Atari?" Me: "Really?... Really?!... Wow..." … [Read more...]

I’ll have one of those

Only Ellen DeGeneres can get away with having a game on her show called ‘musical Santas’.  Blindfolded women play musical chairs, innocent enough, but the chairs are half naked - must be on break from standing at the entrance to Abercrombie on 5th Ave - men with Santa hats.  H-y-s-t-e-r-i-c-a-l. … [Read more...]
