$400 a week to shower in the living room as Adelaide's rental crisis deepens

What an agent has described as a "great-sized modern bathroom," one Twitter user has suggested is a "perspex sh****g cube in the middle of your kitchen."

Is it too late to change my username to Perspex Shitting Cube?

Geez, 25 square metres?

What’s the average prison cell?

Absolutely not, and I encourage you to do so.

Being a sporting gentlemen I allowed my wife and kids access to Mariokart 8 for the weekend and hadn't had a go myself.

Picked it up for the first time tonight for a bit of 4 player.

Guess who won despite it being the first time playing Mariokart 8 let alone a Switch?

Just before we close the book on state of origin until it’s back on tomorrow night or whenever - they play rugby in Vic too. It might not be the biggest rugby state I assume, but why don’t they get a gig at state of origin? Why is it a two horse race?

If AFL did state of origin, every state with a club would be included in the comp surely. Why is it just NSW/QLD for the daily but somehow allegedly important state game?

I'm always baffled when I'm speaking to an ex-pat and they expect me to have a side I support each year. Even if I cared about rugby league, why would I care about NSW or Queensland?

There's multiple principles here.

First of all NSW people protect us from the mexicans known as prictorians. Two, they have blue in their jumper and thirdly Queenslanders are ****ing crazy. It just gets crazier the further north you go.

10m2 for a new twin cell at Casuarina

They save space by not putting a perspex box around the shitter.

It's actually a half height concrete divider wall with 10mm toughened glass on top to create the toilet/shower partition. But no door on it, and one bed definitely more exposed to the shitter than the other

They don't have enough players from outside of NSW/QLD to make squads?

Comp should more accurately be called the NERL - North Eastern Rugby League

The so called Barassi Line

I start work early so I can finish early. Everyone I work with knows this. So why do they consistently wait until half an hour before I leave to come to me with a problem they want solved or a meeting request?

I can give you a concise answer in the form of a Slipknot song title, if you’d like.

Headng up north on Saturday. I expect more caravans and campers than trucks and road trains. Always good to get past the buggers with a clear road ahead.

Drove to Karratha

Lots and lots of caravans

Less trucks than I expected

Only got stuck for one stretch just north of leeman, other than that was relatively lucky

Coral Bay for a week. It's become an annual pilgrimage for us.

Nice, camping?

Ah, so fishing where you just don't catch anything. Can do that much closer to Perth.

When I was young we would go on camping trips a couple of times a year. There would be about 8 rods and all my grandfathers tackle and about 6 different baits.

If you caught something decent it was a fishing trip, if not it was a camping trip. So many tins of braised steak and onions cooked in a jaffle iron eaten. Think we had 1 "Fishing" trip out of the lot of them.

Where as up in the pilbara with my stepfather you could literally throw a shiny hook near the mangroves and just shake it up and down and you were bound to catch something. Low tide in the river near pardoo station, 5-6 years old, short shorts and not even thongs, catching mudcrabs by poking sticks down their holes. Then seeing the tide turn and haul ass before you were buried by the enormous tides. Still have no ****ing idea how I have all my fingers and toes.

Pretty hard to catch fish in a marine sanctuary.

Edit: actually, would probably be quite easy. Expensive though.
