@stilgherrian A badly managed whorehouse, you said?

Oh wait... 😂😂😂

(Besides, they probably aren't called that any more)

Today's going to be a big day. My retail super fund money is now in my SMSF.

Got a few phone calls to make or emails to write when I get home from my place of employment relating to my investment property purchase.

@treleanor Certainly is!! The postage price was very good as well compared to other places I looked at for similar jerseys in the US & Canada.

My custom Canadian hockey jersey has arrived in Sydney after its trip from America. Hopefully I should have it in a couple of days. If it does make it in a couple of days, it will be exactly 2 weeks since I ordered it.

My property managers have agreed with me that I should not have to pay for the water that leaked near my water meter.

They have decided to work out my normal usage & charge me for that only.

Someone forgot to set their alarm last night after 2 days off. Woke up 1 minute before I was supposed to sign on.

Luckily for me, I live nearby & was able to get to work reasonably quickly & I made it in time for my first task.

Also helps that it's not my first rodeo when it comes to waking up & going straight to the place of employment.

Tube Mapper - Luke Agbaimoni5d ago

Favourite Stations - Kensal Green

Meet Sarah, a train operator on the Bakerloo line, and her favourite station is Kensal Green.

I've started a new branch of the Tube Mapper project exploring people's favourite stations or stops on the London Underground Tube Map. I meet people at their favourite stations, taking photos and interviewing them to find out what makes it so special.

I applied early last week to transfer my super to my SMSF so I can purchase my investment property. Still waiting so I called my super fund.

I'm told that it will be 3 more business days. The clock got reset because of my employer's latest contribution to my super account.

@Ulrich_the_elder I'm guessing it didn't end well for the crow.

TIL the hippopotamus weighs in at around one and a half tons adult average and while one of the fattest looking creatures on Earth actually has only a very thin layer of fat at around 5% of body mass. Their muscle mass, however is at least 65% of total body mass making them extremely powerful.
