The breakfast radio diaries 003: Double lock your car

Want to wake up in a hurry? Stick your head under the cold stream of the shower and then turn the hot water on. Works every time!

Also why is it when you start something new, everything around it suddenly ramps up the activity and social outings? Everything happens when you're running on an empty tank..

I'M GOING TO A PARTY AFTER SCHOOL.

Well I'm not, Sophie (7) is. And since I'm the only adult in the house available at that time and doing school pickup, I'm going to a kids party too. Since Jackson (10) has no choice but to tag along, it looks like he and I will be entertaining each other before the party ends.


Then it's birthday dinner time! Both my wife and I are a little older and a little wiser today. Do I feel 42 though? Oh god no. Three shows in and the lack of sleep is leaning the needle more around the 60 years age. I'd look forward to this weekend and a monster sized sleep in but we're off for her 40th birthday celebrations, chock a block full of fun surprises and family related hi jinks. 

Hey if I'm doing a birthday, I'm going to make it memorable!

(And thanks to my Mother in Law Di and wife Donna for messaging my co-host Lu to secretly let her know it was my birthday. She was well aware going into today :D)

WE'RE OUT OF TOILET PAPER AND FOOTBALL BOOTS

With the situation in the Ukraine fuel is in short supply in some of the bowsers across the region but now people also seem to think it's March 2020 all over and are doubling down on the toilet paper. I joked that most of those rolls will end up on Facebook classifieds and I guarantee some joker will put a post up about it shortly.



But on a less supply chain related note, there's also a lack of football and netball shoes available due to lock downs and staff shortages. Sports stores across the towns have 30-50% of their usual order going into a brand new season and since lots of things are slowly getting back to how we had it pre-covid (aka live music) current and new players may just have to start searching elsewhere or use last years worn gear..

IT'S ALSO A GOOD TIME NOT TO BE A CAR OWNER

And I'm not talking about current conflict related fuel prices either (although at $2+ a litre in some cases, I'm very glad I'm not filling up my old Japanese turbo wagon..) - no more the 29 cars across Wodonga that have been knocked off over the last 90 days. Yep at the time of writing I've read it's one car  every three days that goes walkabout, well drive about and not necessarily being discovered as a burning wrecked torched a couple of days later.

Also it turns out I'm not the only one that locks a car with a key fob, walks a few meters and then turns back and locks it again just in case. 

PODCAST PLUG

And a shout out to my brother Guy to alerting me to this one originally - Mid Flight Brawl. Two very funny comedians getting into mid air mishaps from unruly passengers and in the latest two parter, they're covering the WWF now WWE Plane ride from hell. Where Kurt Hennig and Brock Lesnar had an imprompteau amatuer wrestling match in the aisle, where Michael Hayes lost his ponytail after being knocked out and where the entire wrestling party went through three whole drinks carts before the plane even got off the tarmac. 



I mean with a start like that, how could they not be the most behaved bunch of blokes around?  

TOMORROW WE GO BACK...

All 80's day again tomorrow. Can we turn fuel prices back to what we were paying then with the money we earn now? 

Anybody?

Chat soon

The true meaning of Flo Rida's song 'Whistle'..

The whistle song? What's it about? Read on! Controversial I know but I'm about to reveal the true meaning behind the Whistle song by Flo Rida. Why? Because I'm getting the general feeling that people around me are really missing the true spirit of Mr Rida's epic masterpiece... We're getting right into the real Flo, yo. After all this time, it's still all about that wisal baby song!

Mortal Engines for the Emperor!

Now maybe it's just me and maybe I've read far too much into the Warhammer 40K lore and universe...but I'm seeing a lot of parallels between it and the now available on Netflix movie Mortal Engines..

Please don't ignore this massage

It's been a while between scam emails - life has been life, work has been hectic, I've been grunting and sweating my way through my exercise sessions and so I've been putting responding to random idiots through my email on the back burner.  Until today when I was kindly asked not to 'ignore this massage.' I hope it's a hot stone one! Trust me, I NEVER ignore a massage. Better set the record straight then...
