That makes Guy Fawkes Night even more ridiculous. So very tone deaf.

I think if 2025 has shown us ANYTHING it's that we need people with impeccable morals in charge.

Oh wait... I don't think that we're allowed to make jokes like that anymore. I meant what are we celebrating here? Resistance? Failed resistance? A chance to play at being Guy Fawkes? I don't get Guy Fawkes Night at all.

Happy blow up the pommy parliament day! Not sure about this one. Maybe we should just blow up our own parliament once a year to keep politicians on their toes. The more we blow it up, the worse they did that year.

Had the person who made those ever seen a dog? I feel like someone just explained a dog to them and details were lost in translation.

Deport him back to the land of the giants!

And the news, everyone’s always swearing in Aus. I don’t understand why the bleeping instead. Just let them swear! And when you’re in hospital the machines that go ping are the most annoying thing, why put them in fictional shows? To make us annoyed?

Bren MacDibble @macdibble.bsky.social · 6d

Also the dog has beep phobia. Hospital shows on tv are like torture for him. Also bleeping the swearing. MKR looking at you! Just mute it. Why bleeps?

I keep tea in a coffee jar and have to keep turning the words to the back!

Bren MacDibble @macdibble.bsky.social · 7d

The last people who rented my house managed to turn the beep off the microwave! If only they’d done the oven, the dishwasher, the stovetop, the washing machine, the tvs…. Hate beeping appliances!

Throw back to the teens of the 80s. Boys loved eyeliner then. I miss the 80s when men and women wore the same gear and hairstyles. Men were so cool. Now they dress like 1950s grandpas or oversize gear like they don’t shop for themselves. I’d hate this twerp to give men in eyeliner a bad name.

I’m afraid they’ll need to add corn syrup to that cola (like they do to the buns) to increase the frontal lobe shrinkage to keep the masses compliant.

Harkkonnen! 😳 ‘We shall know them by their grey lips!’

To be farir when you stick out into the west of WA the bom radar was more of a what’s gonna arrive in the next 5mins not the next few hours. I’ve been using zoom.earth to look at the Indian Ocean systems.

Nice to see you're prepared!

Bren MacDibble @macdibble.bsky.social · 11d

So clever. You're going to need a lot of stilts to keep living in the Netherlands and kayaks instead of bicycles.

Look what arrived in the mail! Only a little bent. So proud to be included in the shortlist! 😍 #booksky

Certificate from WA Premiers Book Awards for Book of the Year Shortlist for The Apprentice Witnesser. A bit bent because we only have a tiny PO Box.

He didn't mean to drop shit. His adult diapers just had a tear! 🤣

They just change things for the sake of change. I feel like they are spiteful people who just don't want Ardern to have any legacy. Sad eggheads. Work from a place of love, not hate!

For a man who doesn’t know where Albania is or what big words mean, he’s got his grudges lined up like ducks in a row hasn’t he? Is that a form of Paranoia?

The distinguished holding of the pipe to add gravitas to balance the youthful face is cute.

Bren MacDibble @macdibble.bsky.social · 24d

Bloody hell. That sucks. Instead of funding it they ended up scrapping it not long after that. But concept wise it sounds good.
