    Housemates Who Are Dating said they would be the ones who empty the bins as their job once a week, as there is two of them. The rubbish bins are piled very high, they are not doing it. It is not my job, I clean the bathroom every week and it is making me start to twitch.

    Does this mean I need to have an awkward "can you take the rubbish out?" do your job talk.

    Or be childish, anti-productive yet satisfying and take all the bins and pile them in their room.

    The one about the fucking space hairdresser and the cowboy. He's got a tinfoil pal and a pedal bin

    Well Gumpy, the excellent pal he is, chatted to John Allison of Bad Machinery at a con this weekend and drew this and I love it to bits. I owe Gumpy my first born now, a fair trade!

    Don't worry green is still my favourite colour!

    Liiya do the most passive-aggresive thing possible and leave the rubbish bin right in front of their door.

    I don't know. I think building a tower out of the garbage and leaving a note might up the passive-agressiveness a bit.

    But seriously, don't do that. It doesn't end well, even if your roommate told you she prefers it when people "gently tease" her about not getting housework done.

    Haha don't worry I won't do that. Sadly this isn't that housemate, Useless Housemate. This is Housemates Who Are Dating, they're pretty alright so I can just mention it and it'll be fine I think!

    Looks like I'm upward mobiling myself from a studio to a one bedroom next month

    Like i'm living in the cool part of Sydney now and i'm moving to a less cool part of sydney, but frankly I'm not really the kind of party animal that gets much out of that kind of proximity

    As long as I don't have to wake up before 7am to reasonably make it to work, and the internet isn't shit I'm good

    And this way I can invite people over!

    I hate looking for places to live. 20 couples at a few inspections that I went to for places that were pretty bad for their asking price. I have too much goddamn stuff.

    So yesterday the circuit board for the fuse box fell of the wall mounts and is just sitting on the box, connected only by wires.


    Nothing like trying to find a sparky for urgent safety work on the first national holiday since May.

    Ah, you can fix it yourself.

    If you only touch the wires while jumping you won't get electrocuted. My uncle's cousin is an electrician and told me that.

    So I've got a lease on an awesome apartment downtown and just got furniture for it last weekend. Got the call today that it's going to be showing up on Thursday! Which means I'll be able to fully move in by the end of the weekend!

    The location is amazing and the apartment is cute and the kitchen is really nice and it's my first time living away from home and I start a new job next week too and guys can you tell how excited I am yet

    I am hosting a Halloween party/predrink on Friday, so finding out that people will have furniture to sit and/or put things on is an excellent start!

    Well, your uncle's cousin lied.

    The way to insulate yourself when doing electrical work is to fill a big metal tub with water and stand in it.

    So our new ISP is increasing increasing their speeds for no extra charge, going from 30/60/90 to 35/75/150 for the same price points. Very psyched now. They're also going to be testsing 1gig speeds in a nearby city starting in 2015

    My housemates can't tell the difference between clean and tidy. Nearly every dish in the house was left on the draining board when I got back last night after the long weekend and even though they had supposedly been washed they were still greasy and filthy.

    It's getting to the point where I almost want to move out because talking to them seems to make things worse and I seem to be the only person who minds living in tidyish filth.

    Brighthouse! It's pretty great, the only downside to their model is they're regional, and only operate in 5 states.

    I figured it was them.

    Now I gotta hope the lowest tier gets an upgrade too. Us lowbies need more speed!

    I was literally just coming in here to say this. My left tit for housemates who actually get things clean when they do the washing up.

    I had that problem once and it basically turned out to be a person that had bad eyesight and lived in denial and didn't see what he was doing.

    Also living on my own I am running into issues keeping my cutlery clean for some reason, it looks good while wet but when I dry it it develops stripes, I feel real dumb apparently not knowing how to clean.
