    Curiously, I bought contact today too, it was a bargain. My hack is using it on the back of jigsaws to hold them together. Soz, can't help with the coffee machine Mr B, for some reason I thought you were talking about buying coffee instore, lol. I was thinking it was a great concept of encouraging sales with customers jacked up on espresso caffeine!

USA seems to fail often on the coffee front in general. I mean drip filter is still a thing there? Think of the environment Boobs. In one year your local tip landfill will have a tower of defunct Kmart coffee makers. A shrine to cheap, knock off, material garbage.

    e world's best-selling coffee-flavoured liqueur, Kahlúa, has launched Espresso Martini on Tap in Australia, a global first for the brand. Created in response to both Australian consumer and trade demand, Kahlúa’s Espresso Martini on Tap is a blend of Kahlúa liqueur, Absolut vodka, and Mullumbimby’s The Kind Coffee Co organic, cold brew coffee. The taps use 20 litre, single-use, nitro-charged recyclable kegs that have a six-month shelf life and operate on any existing beer tap system, or a new unit that can be installed. Taking only 10 seconds to pour, a single keg is able to serve up to 160 drinks, with a saving of 7.5 service hours when compared to making the cocktail by hand. The product was developed over two years, and since its launch has seen hospitality groups like The Royal Hotels Group and Merivale use Kahlua Espresso Martini on Tap across venues, events and functions. Eric Thomson, Pernod Ricard Australia marketing director, says, "Our Kahlua Espresso Martini On Tap offers a solution that saves bartenders’ time without sacrificing the quality that consumers have come to expect from the hand-shaken cocktail.” yup still excited by this after saturday night 😂 - Posted from rhpmobile

    Dammit. I’m disappointed I didn’t try one of those martini’s now. Love kahlua, but for some reason I had in my mind that a coffee martini would taste like ice coffee with bite. 🤔. Doh. On a different note, how gold is Banksys latest art notoriety. A framed picture of his sold at auction for 1.9mill. Upon the drop of the final hammer the picture was then sucked through a paper shredder that was secreted into the bottom of the frame!! Apparently the auction mob are in discussions with the purchaser. Lol.

    Kahlua is our fav' coffee liqueur at home, rarely indulged in, but we've had decades together to test and agree Kahlua is the best value and sooo decadent. The point? I want one... a machine that is... of the coffee martini pouring type... Oh look, and see where my thoughts have poured to now, delicious body martinis. Is that a thing? Could it be?...

    Are Bringing Their Huge ‘Exhibitionism’ Exhibit To Australia Music Feeds -- Written by Tom Williams on October 9, 2018 The Rolling Stones have announced plans to bring their first major exhibition, ‘Exhibitionism: The Rolling Stones Exhibit’, to Australia later this year.The exhibit will be on display exclusively at Sydney’s International Convention Centre (ICC) from Saturday, 17th November 2018 to Sunday, 3rd February 2019.‘Exhibitionism’ contains over 500 pieces of Stones memorabilia, including items from the band’s private archive like vintage guitars and instruments, lyric books, photography and personal diaries and letters.There’s also 50 years of Stone fashion on display, 190 original artworks by the likes of Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey and David Bailey, as well as interactive sound mixing decks and a screening cinema narrated by Martin Scorsese.The exhibit has already made its way through London, New York and Nashville, and is expected to contribute $35 million to the NSW economy.“We’ve been thinking about this for quite a long time but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale,” says Stones frontman Mick Jagger.“It’s not going to be like walking into a museum. It’s going to be an event, an experience. It’s about a sense of The Rolling Stones – it’s something we want people to go away talking about it.” Not sure if I'll get there, I'm hoping they'll bring it to Melbourne wouldn't surprise me if they do.

    Aussie promoters the brains behind new Rolling Stones art show, Exhibitionism opening in London FORMER V8 Supercars boss Tony Cochrane and his wife Thea are the brains behind a new Rolling Stones art show, Exhibitionism, opening in London this week. THEY say it’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll..For Gold Coast-based, Adelaide-raised entertainment promoter, Tony Cochrane and his business partner wife Thea, the air miles involved in bringing to life the first-ever exhibition showcasing the music, style, art and “still pumping” 55-year careers of The Rolling Stones has added up to “about 30 flights between Australia and London over the past three years,” to be precise..Opening at London’s famed Saatchi Gallery this week, Exhibitionism — an interactive art experience featuring the iconic band’s costumes, personal memorabilia, album art, original instruments, as well as reproductions of their first share flat, favourite recording studio and 3-D backstage tour — was born out of a brainstorm between the Australian couple, both lifelong fans on the look out for a project to kickstart their new production business together, iEC (International Entertainment Consulting)..For Cochrane, the former chairman of the V8 Supercars competition in Australia, with a background in live gigs and musicals and close ties to the Stones’ management through his days working as a concert promoter, it has proved the perfect “labour of love.”.“Thea was the one who originally came up with the idea ... ‘you know some of the members of the band, why don’t we pitch to them a really different and eclectic exhibition?’ We subsequently did and to be honest, many people have pitched to them before us over the last 20 years. Major institutions, all sorts of people have tried to get it up,” he told News Corp Australia, “but I guess we just persevered.”.Playing to the foursome’s cutting-edge creativity, the Cochranes sold “Mick [Jagger] and Keith [Richards] especially” on their ambition and scale for the showcase, which will be launched during a glittering VIP party on Tuesday (AEST)..Not your typical time line-up of trinkets and tour posters, this would have to be to the Stones exacting artistic standards and unlike anything the art world had seen (or heard) before..If you want to read the whole article google --- Holly Brynes - News Corp Australia Network 3/3/2016 (News.com.au )

    Quoting 'PeachyPearL' Everyone should know by now. *Spoiler Alert* Still a single man. Gogglebox gave the best vision of what I imagine was the overall reaction, in a nutshell. I admire he didn't make the outcome a farce like previous series. I too am glad Nick's honest decision reflected that although he saw a lot of good in some of the women on the show, he just wasn't that into any of them.No point in choosing someone just because it's a TV show and then dumping them a few weeks later - that would be pointless and cue more hurt in the long run.I watched the whole series and thought many of the girls came across as real bitches. I'm glad Nick saw through them.Once all the nasties had left, there wasn't much left over.Can't imagine why so many people are criticizing Nick over his decision as this has happened before.There was a series of The Farmer Wants A Wife a few years ago where the farmer did not choose any contestant from the show therefore the hour long finale was 45 mins of him talking about the new girlfriend he'd met outside of the show.

    Wrong. "And the level of public insult was awful. Barely any understanding, despite the fact the show has never had a successful relationship out of it. " The batchelor has had a couple of successful relationships. The First one, Tim Robards has just gotten married to Anna a couple months ago. Can't be ignored as all over the mag covers and commercial tv 'news' . The other successful relationship is with Sam. I know this as I personally know the guy and live in my area. I watched this episode because we know him Nd were curious who'd he pick. They just had a gorgeous baby together. They make a great couple. As for the others, I haven't followed any so not aware of the drama except when they spill the details on tv or magazines (read the goz while queueing at Coles or Woolies.😁). And girls at work talk about them incessantly. Who needs to watch the show with the commentary n reviews by the girls. They do get worked up which cracks me why people get worked up with reality characters.😄

    Ah, the good 'ol days of the State based rooms . The chat rooms were really busy at those times, even having to get plonked into the second (or third) rooms to wait for the chance to get into the main room. Then being able to jump around the state rooms to talk with diffrent people. Met so many lovely people in those days. Last time I checked into the chatrooms, they were pretty dead. Only a handful of people and virtually no-one talking. Everybody waiting for someone else to start up a conversation. I hope that the admin have taken note and come up with a better system. Tall

Fucking DO IT!!!!"Awesome gig. Awesome people. Awesome experiences, and Awesome horses.. (LOTS of Horses... ;) ) I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how things were going over there and when you'd be headed home.Sounds like you had a wonderful time in NZ.I've been to many places in NZ but not the southern alps so it sounds like I'd better get my ass over there and explore!

    YES Lovely.. "Just DO IT" and yes, it has been one hell of an experience this gig... Currently in "Clyde", but working on location in Omakau, and Poolburn..Animals and scenery.... not much else matters ;)

    A couple of years ago, I saw and advert for an older "Extra" on horseback in an Australian historical movie.. I applied, but missed out.. then the agent asked if I would like to go to NZ for a car advert.. which I did.. and she got me the job.. IT all kinda grew from there.. met some people.. did some stuff.. met some more people, did a few favours.. got paid for them.. and just drifted into things..In 2003, I did the same.. got pissed off at work., came home and sulked awhile.. flicked the TV on and an advert came on for upcoming participants in a "Living history" experiment. As soon as I saw it, I KNEW I was going to get accepted -4 months on location in full "Spirit" and circa clothing.. living as people would have then.. rotten food, maggots in our meat no toiletries, no sanitation, no commodities, no electricity, no phones, no tv, no computers.. nothing. 4 months, 24/7.. in a valley infested with Sydney funnel web spiders, and red bellied black snakes - from ice, to total fire bans for days.. Awesome shit.. but easy living.. I was ALREADY a caveman..

    It's never too late... Tall you might be saddened to know it's not the pristine place it once was. At least you saw it before the decline.

    Could well be the case. Every place changes over time.Have been to NZ 3 times in my early lifetime - had an uncle who lived on the North Island.Last trip was by myself to both Islands for 6 weeks - absolutely loved the place. Old joke was that it was twice as quiet as a cemetery. Don't know how it would fare now . Loved the feel that once you got a few minutes out of any of the main drags it was just quiet country. Tall

    Just fuck them. I can't even exolain how fucking irate it makes me. You can now start healing they say...... fuck you. How do heal from being taken away from parents and put into instututions or foster homes that are 100 x worse. Child Welfare has a lot to answer for. Just c**ts and the system is still fucked up and ran by idiots. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I love that the two male penguins who pinched another couple's baby for the day were given an egg to care for afterwards and are now making a great pair of dads taking turns at looking after the baby! Peachy 🤟
