I’m not a nerd. I’m a weirdo though. Just wanna clear that up.
Cheers everyone 🍺

It’s book release day!. Yay!
Will purchase tonight. I really enjoyed Revenge of the Flightless. This one looks like fun too.
Aww thank you!
Today was a new record, woke up at 7:30 but didn’t leave the bed - not even to go to the bathroom - until 6pm. I have completely checked out of all my obligations and requirements today… wasn’t gonna make me feel better with no food or water, but I don’t feel substantially worse either.
At least I’ve got dinner with me now - a nice hearty Moroccan tagine packed with veggies, and some pappadums - dragged the laptop back to the bedroom and gonna binge watch stuff until I fall asleep. Maybe I’ll start with the movie CODA since I’ve been on an apple+ run lately (🏴☠️, of course)
I think this is my body just going “you sorted out the car and job. NOW RELAX”
Do you have an actual tagine because I want one but they’re so awkward to store in a tiny kitchen?
Nah, this was premade, I’ve never made one let alone with an actual tagine…
I hope you enjoy it.
Wow. That’s impressive.
Sometimes you have to listen to your body and let it rest when it needs it.
Dinner sounds yummy!
It’ll be even more impressive if you can get to sleep at a reasonable time tonight.
Check out a show called “Tales from the loop” if it’s on Apple+
Late reply, but this sounds right up my alley! I’ll definitely check it out.
It’s crazy how much power a dream can have on us.
Had one with my old man in it and I was a kid.
Felt the exact same terror I felt when I was that age. There’s this look he’d give me and I knew I was absolutely fucked.
I woke up semi hyper ventilating.
Even after all this time, even as a grown man, you never forget that stuff I guess.
I’m getting child abuse vibes. Am I reading into this too much?
Nah you’re not. It was random acts of violence.
Makes you hyper vigilant as an adult.
It’s that time of the evening. There’s more work that needs to be done, but that’s next week’s problem.
Now it’s time for wine and pizza
Cheers mate 🍺
By the way where you from? It’s ok if you’re not from Melbourne because we loves strays. Just curious.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml I’m currently up in Sydney, but I was born and raised in Melbourne (and travel back as often as I can).
Cool mate. Love having ya here.
Today shall be known as “International Unholy Amount of Gravy Bucket Friday Day”
Mark your calendars and secure your chippies.
Yesssss woo hoo 🎉
Will there be mayonnaise?
As you wish
Thank you. 😋 yum
The first thing the Seagoons do when they go back home to Belgium is go to the friterie near Grande Place. Cones of chips with mayo and little forks to eat them with
Delicious 😋
If I were Prime Minister, I would make it law that if a Public Holiday falls on a Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday, than the rest of the week is also a day off. Who has the motivation to work today?
feels like Sunday, just want sleep
I’m genuinely surprised and impressed at how many people are at work today. Granted, there is a lot going on right now. But still - hardly anyone took the day off.
I believe birthday wishes are due to @bull@aussie.zone
I raise my horn to Bull. 🥳 h b’day
Happy birthday Bull! 🎂
@Catfish @Seagoon_ @melbourne Happy birthday Bull!🍹🍾🎂🎁🎉
Happy birthday, Bull! 🎂
Thank you and other repliers! 🥰
Good news: the auction place will take most of the furniture that can’t fit into the new place that I don’t want.
Bad news: I have to take it myself.
Good news: it should fit into the new car, and my lawn guy and occasional helper will drop by and help me load up the car.
Bad news: trying to get my Google profile for the business verified and none of the methods work. This is frustrating as I’m using the practice room as a sorting hub after I cleared it yesterday.
Good news: I stress cleared the pile of crap I scooped off the floor and slung into a very large bag and most of it is now in the bin.
Bad news: I have a headache bordering on a migrane and I really can’t stop to indulge it.
Good news: the old cooking chocolate seems to be helping. ;)Here, have a cup of gravy on the house ☕
Ta! glug
Shit neighbours are having a loud bluey outside.
Time to go out there and glare at them.
Yes, I’ve done it before.
Yes, they’re scared of me.
Oi! Knock it off ya feral cunts!
More like ‘Shut the fuck up, or I’ll fuck you both up’
They got the message.
Hehhhhbahahhaa yesssss - true chaotic good dad-energy
Rest of the neighbours will back me up 100% but they need a large person (me) to initiate.
Ooooo let me translate that for you into bogan.
Garn which one of you cunts wants a knuckle sammich? Who wants to smell the cheese?
I’m okay with boganese.
They’re very brave until they get close enough to judge the size difference.
Got a ‘Sorry mate, we’re alright’ from it.
The dude looked genuinely worried that his arse was mine.
Methinks we’re friends now.
Oi wadaya fink this is? Fuckin’ bush week ya fuckin mongrels.
My neighbour had been doing tons of loud renos at all hours for months . He seems to have stopped the past week or so. Thankfully.
Other neighbours were starting to shout at him 😬

Hi chef. Unfortunately I’m feeling a little under the weather today. Perhaps some chicken soup?
🐣🍲💊
Homemade Anzac biscuits and a decaf cap with 2 sugars. Thanks 😁
🍪🍪☕️🍬🍬
Cake & coffee please.
🍰☕️
Thanks.
Someone has jettisoned the motivation module. I have notified Mission Control and initiated a strong cappuccino procedure.
Roger that.
Caffeine procedure failed; now wired but still unmotivated. Please advise…
@anotherspringchicken @useless_modern_god @melbourne If it’s any consolation, I’m feeling much the same way.
Meanwhile, wifey is in the other room tapping away at her keyboard. At least someone in this house is being somewhat productive…
Boot up daydream sequence.
We will retrieve you on the next burn to match orbital velocity.
Even my stubby holder confirms the correct term: PARMA!
Never ever will I call it a -shudder- parmi 🤢
Fuck yeah. Parmi sounds like something a teenage boy does under his sheets in his bedroom at night.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @StudChud @melbourne Parmas, not parmis.
And while where at it…
It’s a pot of beer, not a schooner.
It’s a potato cake, not a scallop (?!?!).
It’s a freeway, not a motorway.
They’re bathers, not toggs.
The biggest city in Australia is called Melbourne, not Sydney.
And if Teddy Whitten isn’t either playing or coaching, then it’s not really State of Origin.
Whoa. You are from here. Home of the dim sim!
Oh and Teddy has unfortunately passed so not possible he’s doing either.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @melbourne Exactly.
You can’t have a real State of Origin without Teddy Whitten *glances at the NRL*
Ted jr 👍
I think you spelled pint wrong
It’s a pot of beer.
No that’s called a tease.
😂
Pint is a pommy word for I don’t give a fuck how much is in there.
A-farkin-men! 🙌🙌
I saw a menu ad at a CBD pub recently that advertised a Chicken Parmi. I shuddered. This is how to lose customers.
Oh it’s definitely Parma, all day, everyday.
Parmi is a big no no!
My personal view is that, given the spelling of parmigiana, parmi is the correct shortening of the word. But it sounds stupid. So the contraction of parma is a much better option, but should technically be written as parm’a. But that looks stupid. I blame the entire problem on the Italians, we wouldn’t be having this argument at all if they just did the sensible thing and called it a schnitzel pizza.
I’d be happy calling it a parmo. Parmi/parmy no way in hell.
Parma 4 life. And potato cake.
I need some advice because I lack the most basic of social awareness:
I’ve been texting someone, only a couple of times so far, but I have just realised I’ve spelled their name wrong the two times I’ve used it (has a j instead of a y. The y-version is the one I’ve always seen so I guess I skipped over it). I feel bad and I know it makes me feel awkward if someone gets my name wrong. I want to apologise but then I feel like if I bring it up, I’m bringing attention to something they maybe not noticed?
It’s been noticed. Everyone notices their name spelt wrong. Say nothing. Its only been twice not two years. Continue using the correct spelling.
I’ll do that. Thanks.
I usually blame “autocarrot”. Generally gets a laugh.
haha, that’s gold.
“hey sorry, Jvette, I’ve been spelling your name incorrectly; I only just noticed. Yvette, you can call me Stan instead of Dan of it helps :D”
They certainly noticed you spelling their name wrong, but it sounds like a common error. I’m sure they get it a lot and don’t care. I’d bring it up light heartedly, like: “oops I just noticed I was spelling your name wrong, sorry! Do you get that a lot?”
My weird name gets spelled wrong a lot, just say sorry you were using the wrong spelling, you’re not the first to get it wrong, you’ll be one of a few that say something. I no longer correct people who fuck my name up, some people have been getting it wrong for years.
@dumblederp @danwritesbooks @melbourne As you can probably tell from my username, I have an uncommon ethnic name, and I get this all the time.
Yes, they have noticed the typo.
Most likely, they haven’t said anything because they don’t want to cause a scene. But it is annoying.
First, acknowledge your mistake and apologise in a discrete way that’s not in front of other people.
Perhaps that’s an email? Or a Teams message? If you do it in-person, make it a one-on-one conversation.
Keep it simple.
Hi, I need to apologise to you about something. I’ve looked through some of my past messages, and I’ve noticed I’ve misspelt your name a number of times. It was a careless mistake on my part, and one you’re probably quite rightly annoyed about. I’m genuinely really sorry and honestly a little embarrassed about this, I’ll make sure to get it right from now on. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to make it up to you?
The really important thing is to not make the same mistake after the apology.
Perhaps copy and paste their name from another document instead of trying to spell it out from now on?
I will do that. Thanks for your input. I am certainly conscious of it now so will be making sure I get it right.
Lots of people will have gotten it wrong an made not attempt to correct their behaviour. It only needs to be a quick incidental apology. Even when you next address them in text “Hey Jagemeet (sorry for getting it wrong before), Can we talk about the project this afternoon? Thx Dan”
Don’t say anything and train your autocorrect
Definitely making my brain to turn off that autocorrect.
I think it’s a decent measure of how uptight someone is. Chicks named Sonja/Sonya get it a lot and if they’re reasonably unfussed about it they’re generally pretty chilled out sort of people and easy to spend time with. I know a Karl that gets Carl all the time and isn’t fussed unless it’s something official. Then again, I grew up in an era of Kathy/Kathie, Katy/Katie and Kelly/Kellie.
