"what's the lowest price you'll go"

Umm... maybe what it's f***en advertised for you lazy ****. Christ I f***ing hate marketplace / Gumtree, munted dickheads can't even be bothered lowballing you with an actual offer anymore.

I just take $10 off my asking price. No thanks, no cheers, no chat... Just reply with '$490'

If they are genuinely interested they'll come back with something.

Oh I fucking hate that. Also retail staff who can't be arsed...and retail staff that want to be snobbish.


I was in the expensive part of the David Jones men's wear department yesterday looking for a dinner blazer or smoking jacket in velvet, burgundy preferred. Not a single person offered to help me! There was ample staff standing around gossiping and avoiding eye contact with people, quite the opposite of my Dan Murphy's treatments. Eventually I got someone's attention and even though we were standing within 4 metres of 3 mannequins each wearing a different colour of said evening wear I was told they don't have any of that sort of thing. The shop assistant then thought I needed to be reminded that I was in the "luxury brand" part of David Jones...I pointed out I knew that, I had ridden 40000 escalators deliberately seeking out that part of the store. David would be so disappointed.


i did check the mannequins and their jackets were too small and slim fit. My quest continues.

Take a picture of them standing there and talking then send it to the Ceo's ;).

Put the kids bike on the roof and noticed the Proride strap for the back wheel had torn half way through. Go get one off the spare Proride inside and it snaps just taking it off. Get the other one off and it seems good. Walk out and notice the front one had snapped while I was inside. Put bike in the back of the car. Could have been a lot worse though.

Paying $10 for a shifter cable from my local shop especially when they grab it from the big box on the shelf. I’m all for the low packaging grab it from the box but how that costs the same as the waste of packaging version that shimano does (1 cable with plastic and cardboard packaging) is beyond me.

Paid $4 in Whistler. Australian shops just take the piss.

Angry.

I'm fearing for that, but I don't have a flexi joint making it more of a challenge. I took the Y bends off and they were clear. Putting literally half a kilo of draino down there in. It doesn't seem to take long before the pipe is full so I'm hoping it isn't too far down...

So it seemed to unblock too easily with the plunger I bought that actually fit the kitchen sink. Glad I didn't have to use that unblocker coil thing.

That was too easy wasn't it. Blockages don't disappear, they just shift. The 2 year old was demanding to go outside. It's raining but he can enjoy the undercover area so I go out with him. He's playing in the 30L of brown water that overflowed from the dogs 4L water bowl... Uh oh. Long story short I got to use the coil tool for 2 hours through some disgusting kitchen sink gravy with fatty lumps. I'd post a photo but the smell is what I want to convey. Got it sorted though, just wish the 8th time washing my hands got rid of the smell

Up in South Hobart yesterday. In the quarry on Waterworks Road there is a small area of jumps, kind of a dirt pump track. Not used much, except maybe by me. Anyway when driving by I see 4 teenage lads on the shit heap HT's with 2 stroke petrol engines. Sounds like dueling chainsaws. Farkin rats are ripping up the jumps.

One of my mates has a dad (Irish from Liverpool) that has done pretty much everything for work. He has a couple of trades, is a master potter, a school teacher, and former soldier. He was always scamming us into doing labour for him around the house when we were kids, as we grew through teen years he started chalking up beers he would pay us when we were 18...well at that friend's 18th his dad came through with 2 beers each. Anyway he was always full of advice about getting and holding work useful stuff like:
- you're too soft for manual work
- just tell them "I don't know much but I can lift heavy weights"
- if the boss doesn't pay you, don't stick around waiting for him to pay you
- join the union
- nobody likes a smart arse

And so on. One of his bits of advice they had stuck with me over the years was no amount of money can wash other people's shit off your hands, so if you do a trade, don't become a plumber.

That kind of shit pisses off my goat. I used to get all worked up about it and loose my shit. I've learnt to ignore it and just be sad as "local lunatic middle aged man faces court today for beating up children/morons over bike jumps" isn't going to be a good headline.

Levin the moment
Order something from LBS on weekend, put down deposit.
"Should be in and built within a week"

1 week later "oh we only order twice a week, you must have missed the cutoff... Looks like it might have been ordered now..."
'Should be in and built within a week"...

Should have just bought online :(
Then again.. what's a few weeks between friends right? (Yes.. i'm being unreasonably impatient.. :) i want my presents!)

I normally shop online for clothes. Dealing with sales assistants in-store is tedious.

I dropped into a couple of shops the other day to pick up some new casual sneakers for work. I said hi to the sales dude in one and asked him to point me in the right direction. His response, “what sort of budget did you have in mind?”
I had no idea picking up new kicks had become so similar to the real estate market

I haven't purchased shoes in a store for years...click click click. But I also only have a couple of different style (mostly puma classic) of shoes, just a variety of colours across the vast collection of shoes.

Top cap blew off my forks on the car ride over 15 hours, seemed okay when I checked this morning, windys seem to have unscrewed it and blown it off, more money after spending the week doing the christmas shopping, black friday code might have been handy.....
