Looks more like liver.

leftover tuna pasta bake, though we have a guest and i feel like it’s not that nice to serve them up leftovers :confused:

I got an e-mail about it yesterday - they’re doing the same deal for Cycle To Work Day.

#143

Wraps, apparently.

#144

Dunno, but you better believe I’m going to be angling to use the broken dishwasher as an excuse to get a takeaway.

Did you manage it?

I had a temp job doing quality control for the Austrian equivalent of the BBC. In London weirdly. Some German or Austrian person would type up the subtitles, and I would watch randomly picked 5 minute sections of the shows and review the quality of the (German) subtitles.

I also made new voiceover credit screens for old Donald Duck cartoons dubbed into Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. He’s called Anders And in Denmark. It was a weird way to get a miserly £6.50 per hour.

The world of rendering sounds to text is generally quite odd, but that seems like one of the weirder subsets!

This is in the port at Melbourne but will be a couple of weeks to pass customs, apparently.

#153

If there is nothing wooden or similar plant based items in there you might find it’s quicker.

Err, see the massive wooden 100 year old chest of drawers in the pictures? :grinning:

#155

Hahaha, nah I only read the last post before replying.

You will definitely be waiting two weeks.

Cleared customs! But the earliest delivery spot is next Wednesday. Curses!

A whole extra week of having one sharp knife, one frying pan and one pan with a lid to try to cook with.

Yeah, we were told to think long and hard about whether or not we really wanted to keep anything that was wooden knowing what customs were like.

We were told that if they suspect your goods to have something that wouldn’t be permitted by the (ridiculously strict) Australian import rules, then they’d do an inspection of your belongings which would be conducted at your expense. Basically saying that you can do, but the less likely you are to trigger an alert with them, the better.

With the whole NO MUD thing, we took most of our shoes in check-in baggage, as at least if they search you in the airport they don’t charge you for it.

Think of all the vicious spiders you’ll unleash on Europe on the way back, though!

Damn, that was fast! We were using cardboard boxes for tables for the first three months. By the time our stuff arrived, we realised how little of it we actually missed, but the kitchen stuff was definitely the most useful.

Now going through the whole thing again with trying to find a company to ship our stuff to NL.
