Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I got banned permanently of reddit for quoting someone else, absolutely bizarre.

Now it seems I'm IP Banned for trying to circumvent the ban?

Then I realised I really can't be arsed changing my IP or browser to be apart of a site that's becoming increasingly ruled by an Automatic Robot Mod.

Cheers Dave, how was your day?

Not bad, I went shopping with one of my kids to get them some clothes. It was the decisive one so it was a pretty smooth and quick shopping trip. And I took a kid to a swimming lesson. Pretty chill day really.

How has your weekend been so far? (besides getting banned from reddit 😆)

Welp.

I'm working through it. Well, Sunday/Monday anyhow, Going to take that time and a half+ a day in lieu and cash it in when it really gets cold and I need to spend a day in bed with the Mrs.

My first Winter season in the South, Looking forward to it.

It's as good a plan as any, working when everyone is trying to have a holiday and holiday when everyone is at work!

I've never lived in the South but I know those that have and they loved it so I'm sure you'll have a great winter so long as you stay warm!
