I rather like that dress.

Is it true that JG is knitting for the royal baby? FFS.

fuck knitting a hat

It was interesting Fairfax pulled a bit of an "erm, sorry" post-editorial after their "STEP DOWN JULIA WHERES YER POLICIES" BS one. I mean, hello, we dont know anyones polices THANKS TO YOU MSM IDJITS.

Seriously now. What do I read? Clearly none of the MSM rags is worth bothering with. Graun's AU division? Crikey? (ugh paywalls).

crikey is good. subscribe and get goodies included!

crikey is too expensive

fuck knitting a hat

best

Graunad will be the only place without a pay wall soon.

If you don't consider enduring fucken awful comment is free articles ("it is time that Tony Abbott went on Q&A!") as payment, that is.

abc dot net dot au forward slash news

everyone is getting dick in their ears

dick wax

oh wow Toby Arnott telling female journo from The Grauniad to "settle down" at a pie factory

said piemakers put peas in their so-called 'pasties', fucking 'ell

Does anyone know why Australian journos are so cagey about the sexuality of politicians? Not that I'm asking for a series of "X is gay" stories, but there are a number of MPs/Senators/former PMs/etc that are widely known to be gay, though married with kids, but nobody ever says anything about it. Is being labelled gay something you can sue over in this country? It all seems weird. Even Alan Jones had to be outed by Chopper Reed.

is there a single age comment thread that doesn't have "sarajane" commenting on it

lol I noticed that as well. there's a few regulars but she's like a rash. her and that irritating feller from america whos handle i forget right now. something NY?

that J bloke I were seeing previously used to do Age commentz on occasion when it was about education stuff cuz of his work (union)

Speaking of that stinkrag, so much for their paywall, all you have to do to disable it is go into private browsing mode in FF and it works again, heh. Not that its worth bothering anymore tbqf

Believe it or not, I have better things to do (although not much better, obvs).

Australia, I am officially moving in. 29th of August. What should I know? (other than The Age is Terrible)

Where in Australia? It is a bit large.

'The Australian' newspaper is available over the whole country. It, too, is terrible.

welcome, ed

the courier-mail of brisbane is also terrible and the gold coast bulletin is ridiculous.

Ed! Nice to welcome you to our boundless plains. Or eff off, we're full. Its one of those.

welcome to papua new guinea, ed

nah mate he's cool he's white

you're going to be in melbs (Melbourne), iirc?

Yeah, Preston/Thornbury borders to be precise (Or Port Moresby)

good area

I'm thinking of moving to that area myself! I'm often around there cos my band live in the area. We'll have to catch up for a pint.

we're working out where to move too
