What annoys you?

Exactly.

A humane solution has been found. I cut up some old chicken wire to size and placed the pieces over the catā€™s preferred areas of the garden. Havenā€™t seen the cat nor any evidence of same for a couple of weeks now.

Back in the 80s (and before), there was a menswear shop in Elizabeth St (about 3 shops south of Flinders Lane) called Fairway that had a sign saying ā€œCLOSING NEXT FRIDAYā€ for about 5 years.

One time, they told the truth.

Iā€™m pretty sure the beanbag store on the corner of Waverley street and maribrynong road has been closing down for the past several years too.

I could never fathom how a beanbag store generates enough revenue to stay open in the first place

I used to shop there in mid 60ā€™s
Ps as an apprentice

So was that where the Liberals found their role model?

School roofs used to be an absolute bounty for footys/frisbees/tennis balls. If the school got them all down, youā€™d ruin all the povo kidsā€™ holidays.

When mates who owe you money pop over to chat, then blurt out they are living back at home AND got $500 of lip fillers and see a specialist to remove facial hair every month for $100.

Surely they can dive the golf club lake for second hand balls.

In Mascoma St, Strathmore, there is a glorified milkbar that has had a ā€˜An IGA coming here Soonā€™ sign up for the last 5 years.

Big Kahuna?
Shut down last year, I think.

Bullshit - how dafaq did the povos afford a Ladder Licence, eh?

Thatā€™s the one, but I swear itā€™s still there!

It is.
Same as car stereo system place Errol St/Kings way - been there since the late 80ā€™s.
Is Alpine even a thing nowadays?

Do they make burgers and, if so, are they tasty?

This is a tasty burger!

Itā€™s King kahuna, a quick Google search reveals

ā€œBack to the futonā€ (opposite corner from Box Hill City Oval had a closing down sale for a good 10 years.

I was helping out at my kids school working bee earlier this year and one of the other dads grabbed a ladder and climbed up on the roof to get a whole heap of balls that had been kicked up there. After he got down, and started heading towards another building with the ladder under his arm one of the teachers told him that he wasnā€™t allowed to as he hadnā€™t been trained on the ladder.

He dead-pan response was ā€œIā€™m a firefighter with the MFB. Before I joined the MFB I was a builder. Point out a single person here who is more qualified than me to use a ladderā€.

That thereā€™s a moment in Roxy Musicā€™s Jealous Guy and FGTHā€™s Power of Love that isā€¦

ā€¦but itā€™s too short to beā€¦you know, a rip-offā€¦so, you know, who cares?
Butā€¦itā€™sā€¦

ā€¦and I feel like Iā€™m the only person in the world who knows this is a thing.

Do you mean this is a thing just in this song or a thing in thousands of other songs?

Coz it happens a lot in chord progressions in rock songs since time immemorial, often copied from classical music.
