Randoms using up all the visitors parking in my villa complex that arenāt actual visitors.
Literally nothing you can do save put up a boom gate to get rid of them.

I think rice was an ingredient in some Milanese cooking, something to do with Po Valley rice production?
Also, on some Italian restaurants menus, pasta dishes were the entree (al prƮmo with lots of bread ) main course some meat with sauces and side dishes but not large servings ( veg extra).

Not the first time Iāve posted this, but farking gambling ads.
Just saw one for Betfair (what a name for a gambling company). āWhen you win, we win! Weāre on your sideā. Immediately followed by a disclaimer āChances are youāre about to loseā.
Get the fark off my tv and away from my society, you soul-less, evil, thieving ghouls.

I was watching something on 9Now and in their spots with 5 ads, they were doing the SAME gambling ad 4 times in a row.
Some of the early SportsBet ads with the Grubs were fun, but their ads with Shaquille OāNeal are woeful.
I donāt wartch any FTA tv at all, and ads in general is one of the reasons for that. But, yes, gambling ads are just about the worst.
Because it is the right thing to do.
Honesty is not about gain.
Probably has been said somewhere in this thread but cylists rolling through red lights like they arent there. If you stationed a copper at any inner city pedestrian crossing they.would collect $50,000 a day in fines

Probably kinda niche, but what annoys me in current pop music is that so much of itā¦the vocals are so processed that it could beā¦just about anyone singing.
How could you know?
Iā¦do kinda like current pop music, but not being able to hear what the vocalist actually sounds likeā¦often for no reason, that annoys me.
With pop music now becoming largely electronic dance music or a derivative thereof it doesnāt really matter anymore who sings what or what they sound like. Vocalists are only really used because producers need an identifiable name to attach the song to and push to the market with.
Donāt get me wrong, there are absolutely exceptions to that. But nobody really listens to lyrics anymore. Often I find stripping back vocals and just listening to the instrumentals enhances the song. You can attach whatever feeling or meaning you wish that way.

Broadly agree, but thereāsā¦really a lot of stuff that doesnāt do that.
It just doesnāt chart.
Itās why I love Olivia Rodrigo so much.
I can hear her.
Itās not just pop music Wimmā¦ itās on near enough to EVERYTHING!!
The most recent Oils album is just about unlistenable to me because of the degree of vocal processing. What Iāve heard of the latest Stones album is the same.
Modern mix engineers have so much to answer forā¦

I live in an apartment complex, and in it there are two rooms off the carpark for all the garbage. One for recycling, the other for general waste. There are eight large trolley style bins in the general waste room. Some people are so lazy that theyād prefer to put their garbage bag in an already overflowing bin by the door. rather than walk 6-8 feet into the room to put it a bin with room in it. Day before bin collection and bags have fallen off the overflowing stack and split all over the floor. Slobs.
QANTAS - offer business class upgrade by bidding between two amounts.
Advised unsuccessful bid because I assume someone else bid higher?
Get on the plane to find 3 business class seats are vacant.
Why set a lower limit if youāre not going to accept it anyway - just start the bidding at the price youāre happy to sell it for.

Why?
Because fark you, thatās why.

Very strange and I think a glitch in their IT unless they had a late cancellation of 3 pax which whilst rare could happen.
