    Balmoral in Mosman

    this flash fluffybunny

    @NTA

    Fuck I don't live there!!

    Just happens to be halfway between the kids school and home

    When I am forced to park in the flash carpark, my CX-9 with all its dents and scratches looks pretty sweet next to the Porsche Cayennes and Range Rover Sports

    I have to slum it and drive the CX5. What, if anything, makes the 9 better ?

    Just size mate. 3x kids so need the 7 seats when ferrying their mates around or loading up camping gear.

    Its annoyingly long as a result though Sydney council carparks are not built for a 5m+ vehicle.

    Would you agree that the turning circle isn’t too flash either? I literally can’t fit the car in the other half’s carport.

    Such nice wheels to drive though and getting it mid COVID when others were struggling is something I’m genuinely thankful for.

    Onya boss(es) !!!!

    Yeah, turning circle is fucking awful.

    Lots of totally unnecessary zip though!

    I hate office birthday celebrations. A bunch of people singing a shit song half-heartedly to justify getting a piece of shitty cake afterwards.

    The "it's your birthday so you have to supply the cake" nonsense. I never let people in the office know when my birthday is. The cake is a lie.

    Fucking this.
    I used to only half-jokingly claim that my boss sending a "happy birthday" email to me with the office cc-ed was an abuse of my HR-records-privacy.
    It's a simple deal - I won't eat any of the shit cake your plain wife baked last night, or you bought at the Tesco on the way to work... and I also won't bring in any shit cake I picked up from my local Waitrose.

    I think that you will find that Waitrose is a highly respected organisation around here so their "shit cakes" might be better than you think. Will leave that up to you.

    No such thing.

    I’ve been lucky that in my last three workplaces we have had awesome cake makers and no singalongs.

    My minion two jobs ago makes awesome old school cakes (banana cake, chocolate etc) and she still makes me one for my birthday now. One of the girls at my current job is a fancy cake baker so we get these for everyone’s birthday.

    Sorry for going against the grain of the thread.

    Showoffs. I really fucken hate showoffs.

    All we need now is some piston wristed gibbon to say his wife likes sex.

    Your wife likes sex... just not with you.

    Sorry, had to be done.

    Little bit of lube always helps me fit into tight spaces.

    Indeed. You won’t be bringing unicorns either.

    This. I live in a holiday area so why do the morons at council wait until summer when we have an influx of thousands of people here to block off roads. The queue yesterday was backed up for miles. What should have been a 7 minute trip took over 40 minutes.

    Do it before Labour weekend - no problem you idiots. We don't even get that much rain so why? FFS.

    I'm seriously into Christmas - traditions and all.

    But Secret Santa in the office can fuck right off - particularly after some prick gave me a gift card for a £20 donation for a Goat for Africa. Fluffybunny.
