Things that sh*t me the seventeenth

get a bigger lasagne from someone else at exactly the same time for your team

My colleague suggested we should also bring lasagna for lunch

I now understand the frustration of small businesses and the new plastic regulations and the thinking that as the largest users, the supermarkets should of been the only ones impacted initially

Just ordered some Thai and all the main dishes were cardboard “bowls” with lids, sauces in the same in a smaller version and brown paper bags for my curry puffs

I can’t imagine what the wholesalers are charging and how much has again been handed down to customers - what a rort

It costs an absolute bomb, not to mention how much Uber/MenuLog slugs us in fees too.

Re Uber .

When we were up on the gold coast.

Walked past all the food shops .
Seen this fat uber driver the warm bag all most touching the ground not zipped up and food almost falling out.
That's not going to the customer warm ..

Some ****er switched the thermostat over when spring started so it's ****ing 15 degrees and nipply as **** in the office

An old school friend sent me a friend request. All he has on his profile is his name basically. He doesn't have any pics. I deleted his request. Seriously, if you have nothing on your profile and you want to add me as a friend it kind of feels like you're stalking me.

WFH today so took the opportunity... just finished hanging out four loads of washing under the pergola and next doors have flashed up their ****ing outdoor wood fire.

Not happy Jan.

People that speak in vocal fry register.

I'm not sure if they can't help it or it's done on purpose.

I also have no idea why it shits me, I just get this viscerally uncomfortable reaction, like wearing an itchy shirt.

What is vocal fry?

What is vocal fry?

It's like the opposite of falsetto, the lowest register humans can speak/sing in.

Characterised by a kind of crackly broken up sound. YouTube has many examples

Croaky voices then

Interesting thing to get weirded out about but ok

I thought vocal fry was dragging out the last sound of each word, like how the Kardashians speak

That was the example given by the 1st clip I watched but (to me) it was more croaky than dropping letters

Like the voiceover on a disaster movie trailer.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Vocal fry is an American specialty.

Someone I follow on TikTok has this massively grating vocal fry.

Feel like it's something that pops up whenever someone's running out of breath.

Michael Clarke's voice annoyed me, he always sounded like a child.

Michael Clarke's voice annoyed me, he always sounded like a child.

He was a classic case of a commentator who said really good stuff but didn't have a great commentator's voice.

He needed to go and do a bottle of whiskey and 20 **** a day for a couple of years.

Did Douggie Walters ever get behind the microphone?

Did Douggie Walters ever get behind the microphone?

His inability to score runs in England is one of my earliest cricket memories.

Thank you Billy ray that video was the total explanation I needed.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

People need to worry about things that matter. That was just rude.

Smudge is the same.

Can't see a commentating future for him.

Marnus likewise.

Andrew McDonald has more of a commentator's voice.

Hell!
He's got a media worthy voice.

That baritonic voice booms.

I really enjoyed this series - weird as
