It costs about $400 to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Bit exxy. Worth it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Very much worth it. You get a full historical guided tour and of course the views. We paid for photos as well which came out great.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I guess that would cover the safety gear you have to wear and the guide etc. Understandable, but worth it? Dunno. I'm told the view is amazing.

Are you trying to start a riot?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Just staying facts.

I tried all the 'mites' apart from the UK Marmite, and so far prefer Promite.

I have to admit that I'm a non-Vegemite-mite virgin. Vegemite's great and I've never been tempted to stray.

I guess I should get around to voting in local council elections although I really CBF. I personally think local council should be abolished, and duties transferred to a new state government department. That way all the pissy little mini contracts done by councils can all be amalgamated.

Also I need to make dinner and I am hungry, but I'm also too lazy to make it.

Well in my local elections I had a choice between a greens candidate who seemed ok if a little bland and an antivax cooker. So that made it easy.

Saw the candidate list for city of Melbourne today though. That is just BONKERS.

I really need to work out an easy way to protect my seedlings from snails during that vulnerable time, I swear they can smell the new sprouts. Clear plastic tub as a makeshift hothouse might be the go.

I canโ€™t eat the produce myself but want to grow some food for a friend.

Ordered some more kitty treatsโ€ฆ theyโ€™re expensive due to allergies. I wonder if there was spare energy I could make some at home

Jewish space laser? Dunno if they cant set it low enough and you might have to call in some favors but surely they need some good PR at the moment?

Showers increasing, says the BOM app.

No they're not, says a look out the window.
