the GOOD NEWS THREAD ;)
OK, this is a detox thread following on from the Rant thread.
A bit like going into a sauna to sweat out all the toxins.
If I know human nature at all, this'll get no replies
What nice things have you discovered recently about Oz?
Me? well, thanks for asking!
yesterday I went to a Coles at the other side of Geelong where 1. they sell beer/wine in the same shop and 2. free trollies AMAZING!!!
last week I was in Tassie for my first time: what I saw was beautiful

Re: the GOOD NEWS THREAD ;)
my boss reduced my hours by 5 per week so that I can take my daughter to school before I go. Didn't reduce my salary though, that will stay the same 
(and I don't have to finish any later either!)

Discovering that complete strangers offer you shelter in their houses, drive you around, cook you food and lend you underwear during emergencies.

MiddleChild (hereafter known as 'CoastAlong') has been accepted on a diploma course, thus overcoming his .. er.. marvellous OP score.
This means that I shall finally get the house to myself during the day - hoorah!
Admittedly it means I lose my Daytime TV Viewing Buddy, so will have to watch Murder She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder alone, but I'll cope

My job is the biggest toss-off job in the history of jobs.

Re: the GOOD NEWS THREAD ;)
Just read the back it says: Product of the United Kingdom.
Yeah didn't see this one in England either. Maybe it's rebranded.
Found it in Coles next to the marmite.
EDIT: It got the weight in ounces. It must be British.
