There is a story I heard about a PE teacher who quit like 6 months into his job because he found the kids too attractive

What uhhhh
What grade was he teaching?

There was a rumour one of the art teachers at my high school had some sort of inappropriate relationship with a year 12 girl at a previous school but idk how true that was

Australian coke is trash. It's usually cut with ket afaik, I've never had the "breath mint for the brain" effect from it. I had two fairly decent lines at a mate's wedding and I didn't really feel any different tbh

My car's engine couldn't start (it could turn over and make lots of noise though), so I had to call RACQ to come out and look at it.
The dude they sent spent 5 minutes poking around under the bonnet to make sure everything was still there, then sat behind the wheel, floored the accelerator and kept the key turned for a minute until poo poo started :saddowns:
Apparently the fuel line was a bit blocked. Turns out "flog that poo poo until it go's" actually works sometimes.

every person I know who has gone to work the slopes in canada came back with a monster coke problem so I just assume it is cheap as chips there

My mates were saying that in Canada it's maybe a quarter to a fifth of the price in Australia, and it's relatively pure whereas ours is cut as gently caress (allegedly with ketamine but idk)

I'm thankful reading all you guys' stories that my mental health is just mild general anxiety and is entirely stress driven.
I just meditate and occasionally nip in to see my psychologist and I'm golden.

My caveat when seeing my psych was that I refuse to take meds because I don't want my dick to stop working.

Looks like they use frozen puff pastry sheets, look similar to what me and my mum make. Deffo get good results but not gonna beat out freshly made with butter, suet or shortening.

Best sausage rolls I've had are from Mt Morgan bakery in Qld. Emu Park also has some phenomenal sausage rolls.

I also really like Goldean Lea bakery pies and sausage rolls in Berala, they're a Viet mob. Not fancy but really well done and no nonsense. Only issue I have with them is that they don't serves peas. Lots of places in Sydney don't and it's a little hosed up

Bun bun bakery in Springvale (south eastern melbs for the non melb goons) is the best banh mi I've ever had and I make the 40 minute drive out there if I'm in Melbourne every time. Any time I had to go there for work at my old job it was usually to royal Melbourne golf club and I'd take a detour

The cafeteria sucks. Just drive to the Menai Marketplace, it's like 3 mins away.

I think I've been there, had some decent chicken from a place there

I still gotta find a place to live, preferably within 10 mins or so. Menai seems relatively good. It's so much cheaper out there too compared to Parramatta and the North beaches tbh

Going clay shooting this arvo with current work for our Xmas party kinda thing then going to some indian place in Terrey hills that's apparently one of the best indian restaurants in Sydney
