I have very little problems with my deliveries except for a couple of deliveries when the service was new. Once they forgot my milk but it was delivered about an hour later. Another time the driver accidently gave my three carton of Pepsi (which was on special) to the wrong person. I seems he delivered about 20 cartons to the customer before and they got mine as well. I was given a credit plus a free delivery so could reordered it straight away and had it delivered the next day.

I never would hate a politician more than Abbott but recently Hockey

 

[Australis]

The whole Liberal front bench, without excepotion, are a bunch of dicks. And I have a feeling Turnbull in charege would be any better. We kind of forget he was less popular than Abbot when he was Opp Leader.

I tried doing online delivery some years back, ordered I think 6 times altogether. Every single order had a mistake. Got other people's food and then was expected to wait at home while they came and got it (happened TWICE), food left out of order, substitute brands given when I hadn't checked that a substitute was okay, wrong sizes.. it was nuts.

as much as I hate shopping, can't say I'm particularly keen on the idea of online grocery shopping.

I want the fresh fruit and veg and able to check it for myself, make sure the bread is relatively fresh bake, not the stuff that's been there are week etc etc

Turnbull was covered in the shit from the Godwin Grench affair (for which Abetz should have been shitcanned for suborning perjury) and was up against rudd.

Now he would up against the 3/4 invisible man and would be coming after the unflushed turd that is tony abbott.

 

[Australis]

True. If Labor lifted its gamer, it would wion it easy. If it lited its game.

My Dad said we don't have real ploticians any more, just a bunch of wannabes, on both sides, mostly concerned about the pariliamentary pension.

Now there is talk of axing the Census to save money. We are due due for another Censis in August 2016.

It's bullshit from the government. Labor looked at it the past and decided against the idea.

In Canada Tony's little mate Stephen moved the country to a short form which was next to useless and then all the processing was done by an American company in the U.S.

And bear in mind that Abbott is spinning this line as he continues to crap on about data retentiont that's gonna cost $400 per year as opposed to $400 for the census which is done every 3 or 4 years.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

10.19am and the Coles truck just delivered my groceries and as a result I am sucking on a Fruit Tingle, one of my favourite Australian lollies.

My favorite Aus lollies and pretty much the only Aus lollies I like are Chicos and Pineapple Lumps. But Pineapple Lumps are actually an NZ invention so the winner must go to Chicos which I could literally eat a kilo of in one go.

Everything else I'm totally meh about.

When I was a kid I loved Spuds. They were actually a big lump of moist coconut dusted with cocoa powder. Don't know if they still make them.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

That sounds vaguely familiar but I've never had them. I would like them though, coconut is one of my favorite ever flavours.

 

[Miss Chicken]

I remember Spuds. I will have to look if I ever go back to the lolly shop at Richmond, Tasmania.

 

[Australis]

teackae, you must like Bounty bars, yes?

Miss C, I wouldn't mind knowing if they were available.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I like them yes, VERY MUCH. But what I really liked was when Arnotts had a biscuit like mind slice only it was Coconut slice. Where the mint is there was a white coconut cream. I ate like 10 packs of them, I was ready to give up all and every other biscuit and be in an exclusive relationship with Coconut slice but then the vanished, GONE. I even wrote to the company and got a nice email back saying basically, "sorry not everything we try works out and no we are not doing any more of those".

I dream though that there will be some reason to be coconut themed in the future and I will see them again.

Coconut m n' m's are pretty awesome, my favorite flavour.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Spuds don't seem to be listed at the Richmond shop (which is called Sweet and Treats)

I did online delivery once. Ordered 500g of mushroom. Received 3kg. Got charged for 3Kg. They said they'd refund but they never did. I love mushrooms, but that's a lot for a single girl who lives alone to eat before they go gross.

on a separate note, Australians are officially a bunch of wussies. Half of work didn't come in today because of "storms". No. There were no storms. There were storms up north but brisbane is no Yeppoon. Brisbane was not going through cyclone weather. We just had rain. Boring, normal rain. A bit annoyed I didn't think of it though. Could have stayed home and avoided a sucky day.

 

[Australis]

Nah, mate, long weekend, mate! To batten down before the storms get there! Mate!

Nothing more Australian than a long weekend.

Mate.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

I prefer to go to the shops and buy the food. Never really used any of the online sites, except for checking prices.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I am absolutely embarrassed by Tony Abbott's fuckwit idiocy of bringing up Aus aid for the Tsunami as a reason Indonesia should spare the lives of Chan and Sukumaran. What are we not supposed to help people devastated by natural disaster because we don't agree with their governments policies?

And the sad, utterly tragic thing is if there was any hope for mercy for these men he's killed it.

I actually hate him.

 

[Tosk]

I am absolutely embarrassed by Tony Abbott's fuckwit idiocy

Truth.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Truth.

I sort of wonder what Abbott's social IQ is, pretty low, I imagine.
