Drove my wife to South Melbourne. 25 minutes.
Drove the return trip. 55 minutes, which included 2x10 mins of continuous dead stop while the trams, cops, and us drivers in both directions all wait for a protest to roll past.
At least some of the cops seem to be in a good mood, reminding them to turn their flashy lights on and then a few moments later, playfully slammed the door of their colleague's car a few times.
By Australian Consumer Law I am entitled to return it. Hence, Pinch punch first day of the month to you
I have found out tonight that the man's ring tone has changed for me, from Sabotage to Beautiful by Snoop Dogg. Nawwww. When the kid rings (that's a rarity) it's Daddy Cool. When she calls me it's Bad Moon Rising.
Tell me some of your ring tones.
I just have standard ring tone and it's on silent 99% of the time anyway
Mine is the theme song from Spyro the Dragon (PS1, came out in 1998) - https://youtu.be/m8MvtUW6D7w
It was the first video game I'd ever played, along with Pokemon Yellow. I was 6 haha.
The soundtrack for the game was composed by Stewart Copeland, the drummer from The Police. The whole soundtrack is a banger tbh
Out for dinner northside tonight, would take me at least an hour each way on PT vs 30 minutes driving, and I don't need to worry about sketchy people on PT home. So I've splashed on a carshare thing for a few hours tonight, still cheaper than taking cabs both ways.
I hate that I've become so car centric but it really is such a fuck trying to cross the Yarra. I just don't have the energy and patience that I had when I was younger and licenceless to spend ages on PT.
