Good god. The old Waterside pub on Flinders Street has just reopened (hooray!) - but look at the prices for pub classics (boo!).
This seems to be the unvarying trend nowadays - any new or renovated eateries go straight for the most expensive prices imaginable. But who can afford this stuff?
"Family of teenager killed in e-bike collision pay tribute to 'beautiful' 14-year-old"
Surprisingly this article is a completely different 14yr old, on the complete other side of the country also being hit and killed by a four wheel drive while riding a bicycle and also being victim-blamed by the ABC.
I hope someone organises a ghost bike. I think Diamond Creek is covered by Whittlesea BUG.

Anyone in Melbourne this Sunday (14/12) and wondering what to do, well let me help you!
There will be a display of vintage computers at the Computer Swap Meet hosted at the Springer's Sports Centre - 400 Cheltenham Road Keysborough 3173
It will be open to the public at 10am, I think it there is a $3 entry fee.
I'll be there with a couple of old computers, so say hi!
Free chairs, anyone? I have two matched dining chairs and a small pink IKEA office chair that are surplus to requirements here.
Before they go into storage, if anyone wants to come to the western suburbs of Melbourne and pick them up, they're yours.
The dining chairs are perfectly solid and stable but have lived in a household with cats all their lives so have some light scratches, and if you've got allergies to cat fur they've definitely got some in the folds despite vacuuming.

We're going to eat funky Japanese ice cream while watching a Tom Cruise science fiction movie (Edge of Tomorrow). Because that is how we roll.
Which two flavours would you choose from the Hareruya Pantry menu?

At last 333 Collins St has done their Christmas decorating so those of us who work in the #melbourne CBD can pretend briefly we’re in a New York Christmas movie, not rushing to meet end of year deadlines
Transport Victoria are expanding tram stops on the 57 tram line along Victoria St, Errol St and Queensberry St in North Melbourne and as a big fuck you to the disability community they're not making them accessible.
They're making the tram stops wider and adding zebra crossings but for some reason they can't be fucked rising the stop to the level of the tram to provide level boarding.
This is fucking outrageous.
Transport Victoria needed to make all tram stops accessible by 2022 and they failed to do that. The next deadline is only a few years away and they're planning to rebuild trams stops without making them accessible.
If you're in Melbourne please submit feedback on this consultation and tell them you support accessible tram stops.

You can also email Sonya Kilkenny the Minister for Planning and tell them you support accessible tram stops.

They are also doing in person consultations on Saturday and Tuesday if you want to yell at them in person.

Only one occasion is going to take precedence over Christmas decorating in #melbourne
(Was entertaining explaining to a slightly bewildered tourist the local custom of projecting things on buildings to mark notable occasions)

What an amazing Day 1 for the #MetroTunnel !
Thousands of people showed up to see the new stations, ride the trains and have a look around.
Everyone I've spoken to had lots of good things to say, with hopes for the improved public transport services that this can enable.
Thanks to everyone who said hello too. I will be doing a video on this, but maybe in a little while when the hype has died down a bit and I have more time to properly put it together.
