I hate it when I see comical cartoon chickens on a charcoal chicken joint If you’re going to eat other animals the least you can do is give them due respect

This is the one in Kensington — not a great photo but I’ll try to take a better one when I’m at the pool next (presume I’ll have to get permission as it is actually in the main pool area)

The eel that represented Australia is at the Kensington swimming pool (this is what prompted my interest) I can remember feeling rather unimpressed by them at the time but I’ve grown to quite like them now

I’ll be honest, even though I like a nice full strength XPA, I can see the point of a shandy Blazing hot day where you’re already sweated a couple of litres . . . taking a break from making a wall out of volcanic rocks but know you’ve got more to do before you can knock off for the day . . .

A stout shandy . . .? I’ve had a Black & Tan, but never a stout shandy . . . A new pleasure awaits me 😁

HookTurn @hookturn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

🤣 A wine drinker marrying into a shandy family . . .! It sounds like a classic Australian love story . . .! They could at least have offered you a “Dry & Dry” 🧐 #MixedMarraiges #MixedDrinks

HookTurn @hookturn.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I’d either completely missed that or somehow forgotten — great shout either way. I’m no Tony Abbott fan but I think it was very poor form for the media to call his masculinity into question because he chose to order a classic Australian beverage. #MoreShandies #LessKnighthoods

Fabulous! I asked Mum and Dad — Mum said Grandma kept a bottle of beer in the icebox in case of visitors who might need a shandy Dad said his Grandmother was a Methodist but his Grandpa still had a shandy on Christmas Day

Does anybody remember a time when shandies were a regular order in Australian pubs? #Melbourne #Naarm #MixedDrinks #TheLadiesBar

A can of shandy (a mix of beer and lemonade but in this instance less than 1% alcohol)

I was watching a couple of the scenes where the old newspapers guys were sitting around deciding on the headlines for the next day and I was thinking – it’s almost impossible to imagine a film this dialogue intensive now – it felt hard to keep up with them & I feel it’s because I’m out of practice!

It feels, honestly, almost quaint that anyone should care about any of the things the characters in the movie are stressing about The President was shown to be complicit in a conspiracy? Who cares? Big whoop. False news. #LookOverHere

I can imagine myself watching it 20 years ago thinking it was a story of people of principle – heros – fighting to save #democracy Now the shadow of #RogerStone seems to be just of camera in almost every frame

1 minute he’s – Victoria is fast becoming the “hate state” Next minute – he’s claiming he’s “just reporting facts” You’re probably the most pathetic troll on bsky He’s got like two followers anyway @ovensriver3741.bsky.social Don’t bother replying “Alan” 1st I reported you, now you’re blocked

HookTurn @hookturn.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

If you think this sort of vile behaviour will get more people to agree with you you’re 100% wrong Congratulations, you’re the first person I’ve ever had to report on Bluesky I know you won’t, but you should have a long hard look at yourself because your future is full of self-hate and loneliness

The way you’re speaking towards @ovensriver3741.bsky.social is completely unacceptable She did nothing more than disagree with you which you misinterpreted to give you an excuse to indulge yourself in personal abuse

Two more . . . It is tough because no one is making runs on these pitches But I think he probably needs to go back to state cricket and try to earn a spot again Call up a couple of the other openers who have been on the edge of selection
