Why? Is it because the curriculum runs to a 10 week program then finishes up?

I would've thought you just send students home and have PD for a week or send everyone home. Just having teachers and students at school for the sake of it seems a bit pointless.

The last term in Queensland was an 11 week term so most of the teaching and assessment was done by the end of week 10. A lot of parents read between the lines of the letter and didn't bother sending their kids to school. Our attendance rate the last week was less than 50%. Some parents don't have day arrangements for their kids so still sent them.

This makes sense in general what you're saying, but actually executing things like that and not getting the Doritos out is the hard bit.

That’s why you don’t have them in the house if you’re serious about losing weight. I know, radical

Just found out my kid is learning the goddamn KAZOO at school next year

How about teaching them MUSIC?

What I do is have the chips there but never take them to the coffee table, I grab a handful and put them back in the cupboard, makes it easier not to just smash the whole bag.

And if you do keep going back you're smashing some KMs out at least

Pringles sour cream and chives are like crack to me.

Missed deliveries from Aramax. I was at home at the times of these missed deliveries. I've now given them re-delivery address and contact information of a newsagency who will accept it. But given they didn't call my unit number at the front entrance its possible walking into a shopping centre and figuring out which shop is the newagency is beyond their skills and/or time pressure. Sounds like they're falling apart https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/aramex-courier

Evri are just as bad if not worse. Thieving bastards. Was one of the first in the world to pre-order the cool Icelandic cricket shirt, went out in the first batch, UK - Sydney Customs - Evri Melbourne despatch - gone. Had to wait two months to confirm it was not going to arrive and then another three months before its replacement from the second batch got here. And then they tried pulling the "you weren't home" bullshit on that, too.

I only buy the small ones, but really annoying now they’ve got rid of the lid. Used to eat half, put the lid on then give in to cravings about half an hour later…

Dealt with them twice via Amazon, luckily both items arrived. The first was (by dumb luck) delivered to a pick up point which was my local newsagent. The second was my actual address. I too have read the same bad reviews, but in those successful instances I must have had an honest delivery driver.

Aramax. Menu log for hygiene products?

My dad does this. I can't figure out if he's cheap, doesn't understand thermodynamics or actually enjoys being uncomfortable like opening a window will teleport him into a Four Yorkshiremen sketch.

Don't me wrong I like Summer and hot weather and don't enjoy being in air con any more than I have to, when when it's 29 degrees at night and I open the window and it's just still hot air outside too then I'm turning the house into a cool room. Normally I will open the windows so I get fresh air through the house. Does my head in that my old man will sit in an oven, walk outside and say 'it's nice out here', then walk back into the oven and do nothing.

My house can stay "cool" if you keep it closed throughout the day - if you go outside but come back in you can tell its cooler indoors.

I detest people that think oh it's STARTING to cool down so they open everything up to hopefully catch the breeze... usually when that happens the house catches the left over heat BEFORE the cooling down process begins. Thus the temperature goes up more before it goes down.

I was amazed to read that the temperature was a cool 21... even now it's 18-20 around Vic. And it's finally lightly spitting now raining as I type. But my house temperature is still 30. I should speed up the cooling process by using my cooler but 1) it's late and 2) it sometimes makes me more humid (and sweaty) even though it is doing it's job and cooling the house down

A very poor courier delivery service used by Amazon and other services.

If I had kids I'd have a really hard time keeping a straight face telling them how important high school is to them.

We were very open with our kids as they ended high school and they have seen enough of life to work out that there were other pathways in life.

Well what topic on here hasn't been discussed many times?

Freo’s premiership

Freo’s premiership

When did Freo win a premiership? Must be a very short discussion

The Dockers are basically St Kilda on the Swan, I'm not sure why they bother.

 

[Gough]

That said they're also the subject of that rarest of beasts, a good book about footy. Way to Go by the late great Matt Price is brilliant.

I bought the Dockers Herald Sun Premiership Poster in the event they won their first premiership

Did they give you number stickers so you could put on the year, for example 2099 Premiers

Would help legends like this too

the 3 old biddies in the middle of the (already narrow) Coles aisle today having a good old chinwag so no one from either end could get past so everyone else would go to other aisles and come back later on
