Xennial, gay, he/they. Cycling, 4x4, trains, aviation, travel, and gin. I follow back if you’re not terminally political
How good is technology? Camping solo in the high country with zero reception and I was able to use iMessage to communicate out

When you let engineers design something with no oversight you end up with monstrosities like the Combino bogie chair

How on earth do they make money? I can't even buy bottled water this cheap.

I'm pretty sure I just made Microsoft refund me for that 🙄

I attempted to grow celery for the first time this year. It was going well, then it suddenly bolted and went feral.

This reads very much like “Too bad so sad it’s who we bye Felicia 👋”. Pathetic response, Oxford Hotel

I can’t find the sign on the road that says “It’s law to give way to pedestrians when turning”.

Me, 1 - Stupid caravan park corporation who bought out and nerfed a perfectly good camping app, 0

For a bit of context, Wikicamps had a Windows app, they stopped supporting it, and now it's only available on IOS or Android.

They actually think someone is going to pay $359 to boost their profile?? 🫠

Antibiotics on an empty stomach with a KFC chaser. A story in two parts.

I really just signed up for a free trial to see who viewed my profile last week. Best part was, it showed 4 viewers, and once the trial started it suddenly became 2 🫠

This is so much better than a train to the airport, innit.

See, there's a reason why we don't have a railway to the airport, you'll never get free entertainment like this on a train

Interesting flight on the arrivals board at MCY. It does continue onto Emerald, so I wonder if you can book on the BNE-MCY leg only.

It's a 1hr 15 drive by car. At 87km it would be shorter than my previous record of 106km for Barcaldine to Longreach.

Enforce your carry on limits. Bronze or platinum, no-one needs to carry on three suitcases, a horse, a dozen boxes of KK donuts, and an Aldi MIG Welder.

I did see some much nicer and far more practical* off road rigs though.

* I threw the 'Mog in because it's a decent capable vehicle, not necessarily practical for the average person. And also because it's not a dumb Murican Ute
