A big one for Mum and Dad and little ones for the kids?

You were ahead of your time. Small houses are de rigueur these days. Cardboard boxes are the next step and have many advantages. They are portable, fold up and you have no clutter and can accommodate the kittens. 

For many people of the sub-continent this is luxury living.  On the streets of nasty, capitalistic, Melbourne, home of the real estate agent, land developer and marketing executive, they are becoming aspirational for many left out in the cold. 

Oh yeah, marvellous Melbourne, the most liveable city in the world.

Lets hope our footy team keeps its soul.

Penurious peasants! Bah!

Also natural air conditioning. But did he have clothes? 

Does explain the comforts of The Gat some years down the track. Must have seemed like a palace with some well fed rats.

No recent banana stories from the usual suspects?  Just to keep this thread from attrifying! If that is an actual word?

Vegemite coming out with a gluten free version 

Polly Waffles making a re-entry splash down into the market - if you’ll pardon the pun

What is the world of fine dining coming to?

No change to the cuisine at The Manor

I'm currently enjoying a hearty breakfast of pancakes bacon and hash browns.

Assume Uncle you are on your 5/2 diet with tomorrow a fasting day. 

Only way to explain your svelte head and face.  I assume the rest of your body is similarly splendid.

Don't forget your make-up, lippy and dog collar on the way out.

Did you put some of this sauce on top, Uncle?

Many aspects of human sexuality are very puzzling. Take celibacy. This can be a choice in life or a condition imposed by environmental factors. While attending a Marriage Encounter Weekend, Tom and Mary listen to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." He addresses the men: “Can you each name and describe your wife’s favourite flower?” Tom leans over, touches Mary’s arm gently and whispers, “Self-raising, isn’t it?” Thus begins Tom’s life of celibacy.
