Hey Woolworths I'm willing to believe the incredible odds that every time I've tried to call you've 'been experiencing a higher volume of calls than usual' but if a 20+ min wait is (seemingly) typical, for the love of God change the 30 second loop hold music / jingle

Dinner with two of my favourite 4 women in the world (⁦Ellie Spencer⁩ and mum couldn’t make it)!

Laughable and appalling at the same time

Ridiculous

How long, this farce?

'Our fossilised royal family have this week breezily been giving themselves ludicrous sounding honours as if this were 1724, not 2024. Camilla is now the Grand Master of the Order of the British Empire. What empire, you might ask?'

If this is three it is even more stunning that Toby Greene escaped sanction a few weeks ago visa-vis his tackle on Mac Andrew

Players must be bemused to say the least

A whopping 20 free kicks to 8 and a goal from a laughably out of bounds marked ball

If Port Adelaide FC don’t get up over St Kilda FC here they have only themselves to blame

“Crook skimmed banknote (3)”

HINT; answer = “crook”

Take the first letter off (eg skim the top off) a 4 letter word for “banknote”

I first met ⁦The Dandy Warhols⁩ in 1997 with Courtney asleep in the corridor of ⁦triple j⁩ because I’d taken too long to come to the door on a public holiday!

Tonight my wife and I sip champagne over the Brisbane CBD b4 seeing them ⁦The Tivoli⁩

The ultimate sacrifice

My great grandfather

#LestWeForget

The final yeah Wil Anderson and I hosted breakfast on triple j

For the love of god mate how did we miss this???

Wasn't there for Arj Barker gig in question so don't know minute details & I've known him for years (not 'best buddies' but get on great)

But surely an artist who has advertised a show as 15+ has the right to say 'I'm really sorry but that baby in the front row distracts me'?

“Saw CSIRO champ tossing clubs out (8)”

HINT; toss the letters of SIROHAMP around (we’ve removed the C for clubs eg card suit) and get a word meaning ‘saw’

But here ‘saw’ means ‘well worn phrase’ not the carpentry tool

🤞

Congratulations to Indonesia and without taking anything away from them, this is a wholly unacceptable result from the Olyroos

“It’s not a religious issue. I don’t know of any religion on earth that says to go to another parish and stab someone” Community Leader

“If he didn’t get himself involved in my religion, if he hadn’t spoken about my prophet, I wouldn’t have come here.” Kid who did the stabbing

Classic ⁦TOFOP⁩ in which ⁦Charlie Clausen⁩ reminds us that Madame Curie discovered penecillan (his spelling!)

Lots going on in this gorgeous Times Cryptic clue

“What coiner produces - good simoleon in counterfeit form (9)”

HINT; “good” = G (abbrev)

“counterfeit” = broken eg anagram

So anagram of GSIMOLEON meaning “coiner” (of language not currency!)

Answer is an obscure word

🤞

Nothing says Adelaide like $8 parking on a Friday night in the CBD

Imagine being so deep in mental exertion that being told your shoes are noisy could completely throw you!

Thanks for the Return and Earn work around

But why does the system work this way and need such a hack?
