Didn't quite nail the batter / or oil temp probably.

Crispy though!

Kitchen is in a bit of a state now.

Threw yoghurt all over the kitchen this morning, felt like a sign to go back to bed. Unfortunately I had to collect a colleague on the way to work, called him to let him know I'd be late with a big ol' glob of yoghurt on my foot.

Hurry up dinner time.

I've got calamari to beer batter and arteries to clog.

[-] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

You stay away from my arteries, you hear!

[-] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

I think we may have discussed this before but what is the story behind your username?

Mine was from the other place.

I really want to know what a Seagoon is.

Skateboarding as a kid down multi level car parks and steep roads. Most fun was sitting on our arses and racing that way.

[-] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Work related. At the time I set up this account I was peeling around 80kg of potatoes per day.

[-] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Mr Woof's and Miss Meow's real names. Which means when anyone here uses my username I have a brief moment of confusion before I realise they are actually referring to me 🤣

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Long ago on a different Platform a group of very silly young men were whinging about catfishing. A whole bunch of us changed our display names to Catfish and flooded the daily feed with silly fish related posts. I found it amusing and kept it.

It’s part of a lyric from a song called “All There Is” by my favourite band, Bad Religion.

The lyrics question the human condition in a pessimistic way. Lyrics about the futility of existence, despair, and the pain of living in a world with little substance coupled with high tempo drumming, blistering guitars and three part harmonies. Typical Bad Religion fare…

It came about because one day sitting around the dinner table my daughter said something about her dad being the boss of the house and I said "No I'm the boss. I'm the CEO of this house and your dad is 2IC" and he looked at her and said "It's true. She is the boss". And the name stuck.

Mine is very boring. I'm a witch and I live in Thornbury. All my social media usernames are variations on this theme. Would have been worse if I lived in Ipswich. One day I shall re-invent myself, but at present I see no particular need to do so.

A friend a very long time ago took my nickname, morphed it and morphed it again until it became Spin, which caught on in my friend group for quite a few years and became my favourite nick name. It's generally taken up on every platform, so I expanded to what it is.

[-] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Reddit generated and I've stuck with it.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

off to help Miss Seeagoon with moving

[-] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

It must be exciting to have the young seagoons so close to you now. 🤗

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

It's nice after so many years 🙂

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

it's chaos here with the Seagoon's setting up house, it's not just moving, they came here from overseas with just suitcases and they have to buy so much, we're all helping out as much as we can

so I think I'll wait until next week to get this house here in order and I will not worry about it 👍Just doing the necessary like looking after cats

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Tomorrow will be beyond imagining.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Oh i do not need escalation

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago

Sorry, quote from The Dark Is Rising. "Tonight will be bad, and tomorrow will be beyond imagining".

A $32 t-shirt in 2011 is now $52, does that seem reasonable? I don't think I've got $50 t-shirts in the budget.

[-] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Had a high pain and anxiety day and ended up napping 🫩 It just wasn’t a good one. Gonna load up on ibuprofen and rest some more.

Some of these winter Olympic sports are so dangerous - flipping and spinning in the air, riding rails with ski’s, flying down the mountain, the athletes have no fear. It looks so cool but wow one wrong move and ouch.

I've got some anxiety about work giving me the flick because I've been sick the last few days.

Let's see what happens.

[-] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I can understand why you'd be worried but you've been genuinely sick. They'll understand if they're a good place to work

[-] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 6 points 2 months ago

It sounds like you've been making great progress there and any business that's worth having you should allow for sickness.

And if they don't... good to be out before investing too much time and effort.
