Last Notes npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Do you not value your sleep?!? npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Definitely glass half-full thinking, Mark. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Graham Richardson was only 76?!?! npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey F***ing koels! I had one nesting in a tree next door when I lived in Narrabundah. Started squawking at about 2am and never stopped. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey The Liberals aren't an alternative, though. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Yeah, there's something irritatingly predictable about the timing of anything that's disruptive to Canberra voters: major change and inconvenience in the two and a bit years after the election, then a period of consolidation and return to 'the new normal' in the year and a half before the election. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Yeah, the kind of forced non-apology apology that is about as sincere as ... something that's absolutely insincere. (My imagination fails me.) npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey This morning: had to deal with some HR-related bullshit in order to get health care and support that I need now. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey I'd be less worried about this project if the company involved wasn't Chinese. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Experienced my first "taken aside for a more detailed inspection" at Adelaide Airport today. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Abu Dhabi airport (Etihad) is far, far worse than Dubai. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey A pattern is emerging, isn't it? It seems Price wins the 'standard' booths and Smith the 'non-standard' ones. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Yeah, the federal Liberals are in a similar shambolic state to WA Labor after the Brian Burke scandal. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Perhaps it's one or both of: (a) it's a 'non-classic' contest; or (b) the AEC's pre-election guess of who would be the last two candidates was wrong (I think they call these 'maverick' seats) and so their usual two-candidate preferred measures don't apply, with a subtle "we don't know what the f*** is going on" instead. 🤷♂️ npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Good question! npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey The counting itself was less therapeutic than I'd hoped but the result has certainly had a positive impact on my mood. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey 🙋♂️ npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey My day so far: npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Just received another Trumpet of Patriots SMS so I tried calling Harry Fong's mobile. Went straight to voicemail and I couldn't leave a message because his mailbox is full. (I can't imagine why!) npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey It is not known what passive voice is. 😉 npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Here you go. Happy texting/calling! npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey I don't know about you, but I just can't stop thinking about Virginia Giuffre. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey One *ahem, another social media site, ahem* I saw someone had posted Harry Fong's mobile and landline numbers and suggested that people might like to contact Harry to let him know how they feel about the ToP SMSs. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Looks like we're set for a repeat of the aggro that saw #Vera bumped for a Lizziefest when QEII died. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey I couldn't work out why David Bradbury's name was familiar. So I looked him up and was reminded he's a filmmaker. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Ugh. Any chance you could fight fire with fire? I've found that playing The Queen Of The Night's two arias from The Magic Flute back to back at high volume can get the message across. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Literal journeys are obviously exempt from my ire. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Bonus points (but not too many because it was pretty obvious) if you guessed that I've encountered 'journey' just a few too many times in my recent attempts to get better support for my disabilities. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Hey #WordNerds, npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey An understandable mistake, Mark. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey #Foodie tooters: if you were making these gluten-free, dairy-free sweet potato polenta cakes for someone for whom coriander tastes like soap, what herb or spice would you swap in for the coriander? #AskingForMe npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey I love a good #Landline story. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey If you were equidistant from a KFC and a Red Rooster and couldn't be bothered making your own dinner, which would you choose? npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Are there expressions that really annoy you? npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey All those years in Canberra weren't wasted on me: when speculation about an election being called reaches fever pitch, always check on the G-G's whereabouts! 😉 npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey The G-G is currently in WA, having just toured the HMAS Sydney Memorial in Geraldton, so unless she's back soon I'm not sure Albo will be driving down Dunrossil Dr this weekend. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey At this point, I'm even questioning whether the Reps will sit next week and Additional Estimates hearings will happen as scheduled. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Yeah, I have to agree with you. There is no world in which Albanese hasn't discussed the date of the election with Chalmers. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey My mum and you would have such an interesting conversation on this topic! npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey Well, first I ended up with a cocktail of respiratory infections that could best be described as "everything except COVID". Then I ended up with some particularly nasty lawyers 'investigating' one of my public interest disclosures. But I'm doing a little better now. npub10qcsyhhkm79upv546atpqnspuulkfdd7k6asw4wln4kw8shr9g3s6dkn3r Matthew Toohey I've been neglecting Mastodon in favour of the bird site for the last few months. (Insert quote about a dog returning to its vomit here.)
