Hmmm. Looove casseroled drumsticks.

My Missus just bought one of those new-fangled Thermomixes.
If you've never heard of them, they're apparently the ant's nickers for cooks. Do everything except the washing up, so I'm told.
So at least I still have a use in the kitchen.

Thermomix

They cost two grand, so I've got a fair few farkle points in credit as of today

My Mrs got one to a few weeks ago.. That's how I got the okay to get the ST

Sent from somewhere using something on my phone :-)

Well done Pezz. Good trade-off.

But we've got to find a cheaper way to buy brownie points!

I have just won a ticket to the Canberra Regional Wine Show trophy presentations, 6 to 8pm tonight http://www.rncas.org.au/rws/site/index.php
I hope none of them remember me from when I worked on alcohol taxation as they did not like what the government wanted to do (Howard years)

I won 2 tickets but as the wife was not interested I told them to give it to someone else who entered. Very fair of me

If I had known you were interested

Karma alright!

She probably expected ST2UP to pillion her down to Canberra so she could go drinking with saaz!

Its not drinking Biggles, just wine awards

but it seems the winners had to supply 6 more bottles for some reason, probably so I can check that the award is justified

I won't fall asleep as I can talk to a lovely lady

that shares the room, that I have been so generously offered.

I am over wine until tomorrow. Too much to choose from, most very good.

A fitting tribute on this day of remembrance of fallen police officers......

Whilst overseas conflicts and 'wars' attract much of the coverage, lets take today to pause and reflect on those that fight the battles on our streets every day.

The ones that you hate because they gave you a ticket, but the first you call when in trouble.

The ones in their 5th hour of work when you're in your 5th of sleep.

The ones you tell should be out catching the real criminals, when they're diverted from that because of something truly idiotic you did.

Men and women walk our streets every day protecting your way of life right here. Lets not forget them and those of them that paid the ultimate price for doing something that, for them, is so much more than a job.

Here Here!

Cheers, Diesel

It doesn't seem worthwhile to open up a new post for this.

On the 21st Jan I applied for work back up in the Port Hedland/Karratha area as Assistant Manager.

The store manager of the Port Hedland store rang me back on the 22nd and I find out we used work with each other when we were at Karratha. I rang the store today and I have one foot in the door and only waiting on the decision of the regional manager who is on holidays until the 10th of Feb.

Between now and then everything is on hold.

Cyclones, 40C plus temps, sub tropical weather, remote area as opposed to freezing winters and no work where I am now.

Excellent Al. If that's your thing, I hope you get it. Surely the other Manager will see that you're the best man for the job with your background and being an ST owner!!
