@weirdestate pretty green. If it was a dish washing liquid. House? Not so much. We thank you for your service.

@Heliograph@mastodon.au the "deliberately put in special place" is the WORST. My wife went OS and I put her car keys in a special place deliberately. Narrator: She had been home for nine months before he found them

@Suzan@brettspiel.space this brings back memories of an experience at Essen. We were at the Rio Grande stall (so yes, that was quite a while ago) and were being taught a game. We spent the entire teaching time sorting out the LARGE number of pieces so the next people would have an easier time. As we left the table somebody came along and swept all the bits into the box! #StillAnnoysMe

@urbanfuzzy@aus.social I played that (assuming they didn’t do different designs) years ago. If you tilted the machine Worf says “You have no honour” I would definitely buy a drink for the person who thought of that. Both brilliant and evil, a feature that makes you want to tilt the machine!

@georgepenney@sunny.garden I don't drink tea, but I know the expression well. I am quite a bit older than you though 😃 Australian born & bred

@futzle thanks for the PSA

@david @futzle I often^H^H^H^H^H still use it I don’t think many people get it, but perhaps they do or they are just too polite to query it.

@urbanfuzzy@aus.social in my case I just repeat the mantra “I have no room for such a thing”. It is of some consolation. Still does not necessarily reconcile want vs need or can 😎

@perkinsy@aus.social @mike@social.chinwag.org 1) Wow 2) Somewhat mediocre job at pre purchase inspection(s) all round if this was a surprise 3) I am sure I had that grey controller with the red knob when I was very young.
