spoilerHe gazes down from great heights
Slow blinking, happy he's got cuddles
He'll beg to be held, my fluffy little light
We'll sit together, he'll purr, drool, for a hug puddle

winter chillThis is my mid-Winter night time ditty
Penned in bed, for this thread, in this city
My core is icy, I'm a chilly witch's titty
This poem is sadly neither warm nor witty
My frozen nose inhales the frosted air
Numb fingers typing, fumbling, pale and fair
The cat 'neath the doona doesn't even care
But if I move he'll bite me, so I shan't dare.

I stayed up to watch the Ashes and it was going so slow and I couldn't hang on anymore so I went to bed thinking we are doomed anyway. Woke up and found we WON. We won the first test. Woohoo.

This is why I’ve sworn I’ll support tinyest in ANYTHING he chooses to do, but if it’s cricket I’ll be phoning that support in hard. I cannot stand it!

I reckon you’d get into it if Tinyest was doing that. Imagine his little pads and helmet and bat, swinging for the fences and then running which ever direction he’d end up facing. Adorable.

Ehhh. To be honest I’d still rather watch paint dry. Let me put it this way, I’d rather watch him in an episode of MAFS before I had to go to the g on Boxing Day. I’ll support him 200% but dear god I hope it’s anything BUT cricket!

Jesus Christ everyone on r/Melbourne is losing their fucking shit. It's like a gigantic mess of everyone going off at everyone else. It's horrible.

I forget and cant be bothered scrolling down but someone put it best by saying the old DT feels empty, even with so many comments.

With that said, I couldn’t see a huge mess - unless I’m missing something? Is it the vote that’s going on that’s a mess?

It just seems like everyone is going off at everyone. If you agree with what's happening, you'll be downvoted to hell and argued with by the people who don't. If you don't agree with what's happening, you'll be a little less downvoted but probably still sit on controversial, and have people who do arguing with you. I don't think I've ever seen an Aussie internet community this divided and aggressive about things bsfore

Geeze... usually you get the dickheads in the general comments but this seems like something entirely different.
