He/Him, Sydney, music, footy, bad jokes.
Largely here for the album brackets.
GOT HIM!

Absolutely insane that tv on the radio, Franz Ferdinand and justice are all playing shows in my hood this week and I'm not going to any of them because I have too much on (, including a concert! Seeing king gizzard and the lizard wizard for the first time this Friday!)

Last night, I was lucky enough to be DJing here. As you can see on the corners - the Sydney Opera house and Harbour Bridge is a backdrop that can't be beaten.

The Whitlams said it well - you gotta love this city, for its body, (if) not it's brains.

And I really do love this city.

Love getting enthusiastically informed by every shop I've bought something from in the last year that I overpayed by 40%

I was just in the UK and one really nice thing they do over the is cut the crap, eschew the horseplay, get straight to the point, let the tin describe the contents -- shops that sell Warhammer figurines are just called "Warhammer". None of this "games workshop" "trove of nerdary" business.

The Ottolenghi carrot cake I had last night was superb. I mean all the food was, and the drinks, but yes. Wow.

Carrot cake is the most important cake in the world

Shout out to me for putting my washing on the 3 1/2 hour cycle in a washing machine that has no countdown display

Tried this as I saw it at the supermarket. And just like the Scottish men's football team, it wasn't perfect by any stretch but it got the job done and I'm so happy about it!

Couldn't have timed this trip to the UK better - Mel Giedroyc has been the answers person on Pointless for the last fortnight, and we love her so

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Also an FYI for people from Australia with like legacy bank accounts going overseas - my sister is with NAB and they have an overseas conversion fee of 3% on every transaction. You don't need to cop this - my bank, up, doesn't charge this and gives a better exchange rate. Daylight robbery from nab!

Yesterday I watched my Scottish 5 year old second cousin eat half a box of barbeque shapes, each one getting more and more addicted. After the third one, this slightly shy kid looked me dead in the eyes and said "these are really good"

Yes.
Yes they are.

15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.

Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

The guy next to me on this very delayed train got on at Kings Cross in London at 0730 and will get to Edinburgh at 1715.
(We got on the 0900 and will alight before Edinburgh, so only an hour to go).

Shout out to our collective efforts, the train has run out of gin.

Just did the age verification thing to use bsky in the UK. It was relatively painless. Chose the credit card option and tried to use debit card and it didn't work. Noticed that I had given my birthday in normal dates but bsky uses American so thought I was born in June, not December. Silly.

Considering stopping referring to my "ah pah tuh, pah tuh" as such, and going back to calling it my apartment.
Uh huh, uh huh.

The improvement from the end of last season to the end of this season by Georgia Garnett is so noticeable. Improved foot skills, decision making and that's allowed her hustle to pay dividends. #aflw #aflwgiantspower
