I'll be dusting off the slow cooker any time now and lamb shanks will first up for a winter warmer!

That's funny! I'm not in the top 100 thankfully but the most common crime is assault :0/

I did not know that! I just read something about him using Melbourne as his base. Doing a gig in Moorabbin makes more sense now!

Going to see Arj Barker tonight. Surprised at the choice of venue for an international comedy superstar - Moorabbin Arts Centre - but looking forward to it :)

My Win 11 laptop keeps trying to force me to try 'New Outlook' instead of the default Mail app. I'd do it, but currently Mail is an aggregate for multiple email accounts for my small biz and I can't risk stuffing them all up migrating the accounts

On the topic of Tolkien, this morning I was going through some old books that were still in boxes from moving house last year. Found a copy of The Adventures of Tom Bombadill which I've had for decades, I remember my grandmother used to read it to me when I was a kid in the 70's. Well, it turns out that this little hardback is a first edition print from 1962 (UK release) and some are selling online for $700+, one seller had a copy up for $1100!

No plans to sell it, but I should probably take a bit more care with it :)

Not OP, but chiming in re: the slow release....I'm on 70mg Vyvanse which seems to keep me going throughout the day. I asked the doc about Dexys and he said I shouldn't need them for a top up

We've got tickets for Stephen K Amos tonight, he's at the Kingston Arts Centre in Moorabbin. Should be good. Food and drinks somewhere before, maybe the new American BBQ and burger joint Third Wave Cafe if we can get in.

After years on pre-paid, I got a new phone on a plan yesterday. The initial setup went smoothly, settings and security all good , but I've spent the whole morning (and most of last night actually) having to re-login and setup most of my apps again. Thank dog for password managers, I would have been stuffed if I had to try and remember them all or rely on various scribbled post-it notes. What watch do you have?

The toll one is odd, I never got that particular one until I made a rare and very short trip (like one junction) on Eastlink a couple of weeks ago. I've had five scam texts since then. If you go on the Eastlink website there's a big red 'priority alert' warning at the top of the page, so they're obviously aware of it, but it seems to me that their system is compromised somehow.
