Nice to see Adelaide’s Odeon Star and Capri cinemas featured here. The Capri is a particular treat as it still has an organ. www.theguardian.com/stage/galler...

They did that one about the Beatles coming to Adelaide. That’s Adelaide’s lot for the next decade.

They are giving away Tim Tams in Manchester! “It’s an Australian biscuit, better than Penguins!”. I went past twice and bagged seven twin packs. #score

“Well, I’ve had a hard day shopping in Manchester, I know what I need, a cup of corn kernels topped with butter” said no one ever.

I am currently in Manchester. I don’t know the city but there’s an insane number of people selling cups of corn kernels topped with butter in the main shopping area. Either Mancunians love it or it’s the equivalent of American Candy shops in London. Judging by the few customers, the latter.

We didn’t like this much. The concept of everyone living in a mega city seemed highly improbable and a bad idea. No argument with the “doing something about the environment” bit, obviously.

There’s an argument I’ve heard that when you have to negotiate a salary, women don’t negotiate and take the offer and men do ask for more. I’ve tried negotiating and found that the employer won’t negotiate because everyone at a certain grade gets the same. That’s how to do, I guess. Grade roles.

Ditto. It’s not even on the BBC here so no one knows it’s happening outside of athletics nuts and people in Glasgow.
