    I love to eat lobster but they are never cheap. :( Save the freight cost and sell them to the domestic market. :)

    But yeah, I support the medical supplies etc. coming into Oz.

    I have entertained the idea of lobster flooding the local market, yum :p realistically though, how much lobster can we eat? They are not necesarrily easy to cook well either

    I think it's more the case that, for the cost they can sell them domestically, the fishermen are making a physical net loss

    A fisherman with a net loss can't do their job very well.

    I realised earlier today that with no-one in Martin Place, Bondi/Manly/St Kilda/Glenelg beaches, Federation Square or Rundle Mall, Queen St Mall or Hay St that millions of ibis, pigeons and seagulls are starving....

    Is it time for a "Go feed me" page?

    If they want it early, then they get it in the condition it's in!

    I wouldn't be going to any extra trouble for those purchasers. Enjoy a few leisure days.

    Hire a cleaner and enjoy your leisure time. Or don’t clean it - unless it is a condition of the sale contract. Yes you may move in 2 days early but it means I won’t be able to have the place as clean for you as I hoped.

    I was in unfamiliar territory this arvo. Stopped at a service station at Croydon Park to fill up the car. The pump was sooooo slow but the wait was well worth it.

    Unleaded E10 @ $0.799 :eek:

    A full tank for less than $40.00

    The weather report advised that several suburbs were 'cool' today.

    Does this make the suburb more or less desirable? :confused:

    Is it a short term position?

    Our Council is pushing ahead with very questionable activities :eek: The works will result in facilities which are illegal to operate :eek:

    Oh, it's OK... They're building swimming pools, gym refurbishment and a few new parks. :oops:

    I tried to lowball some wholesalers for $20 a live lobster. They were furious

    Breakfast on Easter Sunday:

    Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, tomatoes and hash browns.

    Substituting eggs with Easter eggs was a big mistake.
