and if necessary some underhanded manipulation.
I have a shovel, a chainsaw, and a working knowledge of all State Forests within an hour of my house.
Invest in a wood chipper or get yourself some pigs. Graves in forests are too easily found.
Is this from police experience or a Guy Ritchie film?

think my first meal was a large bowl of mussels (probably as cheap as Maggi noodles at the time). Steamed them open in pot, washed them down with lots of cheap beer. Then obviously put the empty shells in neighbours bin because as student you always did stupid things and didnt want to have to clean my own bin.
I used to smash the mussels too. At only $2/kg they were farken value which meant more beer money

A quick google indicates $4-6 per kg which still strikes me as value

Not 2 bucks.... Nothing like cheap good. A flatmate bought blue cod wings at New World North Dunedin for $1/kg. Basically sold as cat food. She bought them, steamed them with black bean sauce. Yum

So... Just spent an hour listening to the daughter unit crying her eyes out over the fact her ex bf is not taking the breakup well at all.
Which is to say: he's a gaslighting little fluffybunny with the emotional maturity of mushroom soup*, and fucking lucky that I'm not into assaulting minors.
They're still trying to be friends, which she sort of did out of guilt, and that mostly works until she's on limited sleep (storm came through 0500 this morning) and he gets his panties in a knot that she's not sweetness and light all day every day. And she takes it badly because she's a people pleaser and feels guilty that someone who - as it turns out - emotionally manipulated her all through the relationship, maybe thinks she's a bad person.
*He's 14 so TBF what choice does he have?

@nta hahaha i cant wait for this

@muddyriver it is a joy. Took me an hour of reading to calm down, so now I'm short on sleep as well...

After a couple of days of misery and anxiety, we got her to see the School Counsellor. Of course, once she explained everything in the cold light of day (rather than 10PM when her parents are not best equipped for counsel), The Daughter Unit has come to the realisation her ex is a deadshit and what the fuck was she thinking?
That was last week. Things have been good since.
Until today, when she was heading to her locker at the end of the day, some little fluffybunny thought it would be cool to push her in the back with a "Why did you break up with him?"
And this little fuckwit isn't even friends with the dickhead - just some eshay from their year.
Now, she's not bothered by this, because she turned around and said "None of your fucking business!" but Mrs TA and I are ready to carpet bomb the little cockhead's suburb.
You don't lay your hands on my little girl like that.

Do they still do everything possible to try and fail people just so they have to rebook and gather more revenue?
MN5 jr is counting the days til he’s old enough to do the test.

@mn5 nah she was pretty good, she mentioned 2 'critical failures' which I thought meant fail, said she gave him benefit of doubt on one, so all good.
I have heard that it is better that a parent goes in the car, to reduce chances of any of the power tripping ones being overly harsh.

Considering that in any drive you have you will notice plenty of critical failures by drivers around you it should almost be a requirement to fit in.

Good stuff to know for a couple of years time.
I reckon if I got a surprise restricted test with no preparation I’d fail. I’m 100% sure of this.

It would be funny though.
'Why did you overtake that white car on the inside?"
"Because the fluffybunny was too slow" -

"Because the fluffybunny was too slow"Perving at chicks running is definitely a potential hazard to point out as well.
