And you can expect to see more of this in a workplace near you!

“Griffith, being a University, won‚Äôt pay me til the third week of August, despite having started work last week.”

Mark, based on long experience as a sessional employee of Griffith, I must advise that this is a best-case scenario.

Kinda cute, though, and lots of people took advantage of the beautiful sun to sit in the park and have a listen.

Apparently, they’re a local community band - and just do it for fun. Which is nice.

Indeed, I did, Naomi, thank you very much. No significant adventures, just a bit of bushwalking, lots of reading and sunbathing and swimming. And shoe-shopping.

And on my return to Vegas around lunchtime, I discovered that there’s a local oompapah band playing on Sundays in my local park. Kinda good, surprisingly!

I thought I’d have a stab at Nic’s discussion topic, since no-one else has.

Is being asked “do you like lesbians” the same as (or comparable to) being asked “do you like black people”?

No idea! Depends what the context is (I’m kinda assuming from the next bit that it’s sexual?)…

Your significant other kissing someone of the same sex should not be counted as cheating because there is no actual attraction and therefore no competition - no reason to feel threatened (this assumes neither is significantly bisexual). Discuss.

Why are they kissing? Presumably it’s more than a peck on the cheek if the question arises. Therefore there must be an attraction. Unless people are playing spin the bottle BB style or something.

Nice try Lawrence, but still way too coherent to kickstart a Joh II phenomena.

Try something more like “once you’ve put the turkey on ice, its too late to count chickens”
