Everybody sleep tight

A couple of weeks ago my partner and I ordered an uber to take us from Richmond to Preston, around midnight.

This uber was decked out with colourful lights across the whole ceiling and figurines everywhere. There was loads of candy. The driver handed us light-up karaoke microphones (when we were stopped at a red light) for us to sing along to the music we put on. At one point she literally handed me a tambourine. She never said a word and drove very safely while we had a rave in the back-seat.

This experience was overwhelming and wonderful and although I seldom tip people I gave her a big one. You got to admire the level of creativity and commitment to a bit that drunk people absolutely love.

Curious if anyone else has had the fortune of being picked up by her! Also wondering if this is something that makes people mad. I feel like it will for some reason...

Recommend heading down to Preston Market. So many great food vendors, baked goods, deli, meats, seafood.

What's the best thing to do in this situation? I was home and they broke in and literally just smashed some stuff before leaving. The guy was clearly under the influence of something and was not coherent. I have a big dog who was going nuts and it didn't phase him. I'm not sure what my next steps are here.

Waiting on someone and need to take a massive shit.

Cheers.

Hi everyone, looking for some advice..

I'll preface by saying I'm not originally from Australia and managed to put down new plants on the hottest day of 2022, so they all quickly died.

The weather looks to have made the solid switch to Autumn and I'm wondering is now a good time to re-plant my front garden (north facing) or do I need to wait until Spring? Was thinking of doing a mix of ever-green plants and flowering plants.

Hi everyone,

As the title indicates, I'll be attending my first GP this week which is super exciting!

Just wondering if anyone has any advice from their previous experiences attending race day? I.e Drive, PT? Should I pack light or take food and drinks (assuming everything will cost an arm and a leg), Best time to get there?

I have a GA pass so any advice on best spots to sit and how to get there would also be greatly appreciated!

Yes, the AusGP website has some good info, but thought people's experiences would provide better insight.

Thanks in advance! 🏎

Hadn't seen any Sunfigo artwork in a long time, so imagine my surprise when I spotted 2 new (or at least pretty recent) ones on my walk today! In Chadstone fyi

I told my best mate over a few beers tonight that if I see a driver throw a lit cigarette out the window and I capture it clearly on my dash camera footage that I report them to the EPA.

He straight out said I'm an asshole.

Am I an asshole?

My friend from Sydney is coming to Melbourne for the first time and I got one day with them, got any ideas or places to take them that will leave a massive impression on them (outside of CBD)?

I got some basic ideas (museums, lots of art, etc) but I want to see what creative ideas y'all got.

Edit: Thank you all yall are amazing ppl, defs gonna take them to revs

I live in a block of units and it seems like my neighbour has a bee in their bonnet at all times. I’m not from here so I don’t know the best way to get it to stop, google is a bit unclear.

I do want to preface and say that I know a level of noise is expected when living in attached units however this seems to be beyond reasonable. Examples include:

• Making calls presumably to overseas between 10PM - 3AM
• Vacuuming between 1-3AM
• Streaming two and a half men on max volume between 10PM-7AM

The thing that is really getting to me (and my sleep) is that at least once per week they will have a screaming argument with a partner over the phone. Today it started at 6AM, I’m writing this as they scream now.

I’ve begun to record instances so I can let my property management/building management know for non urgent noise but it’s the screaming that I can’t wait for. Is it ok to call the police? Do I call my council noise control number? I have no idea what to do and I don’t know how much more interrupted sleep I can get (I used to have insomnia and it’s taken a while to get things under control).

Any help would be appreciated! I’m desperate! Thanks
