also I was under the impression it was not wise to speak german in Namibia because the germans had some unfortunate genocidal impulses in the region back in the early 20th century, but apparently it's positively encouraged and will help cross some language barriers. Also you can buy totally unironic nazi memorabilia in the gift shops.
Lucinda's exam timetable comes out on the 13th of may, so, in two days. That will pretty definitively say whether I will be coming or not, and whether there will be extra tickets available. So far, since the spots seem like they won't be going to waste, it looks like I am probably going to be going to Iceland instead, but the exam timetable would, if it's on a certain day, say definitively no.
Kettle chilli chips is the king of snack food anyway, so as long as they don't fuck with them, I'll survive. It was a long, dark time between Murphy's chilli chips and Kettle bringing back the light and the salvation, I'm not sure I could handle that again.
Now looks like we're leaving for Africa before the ballots are sent out, so no chance of getting one before I go. And no reply from the AEC about alternative voting options. Debating getting my ballot couriered to and from the consulate in Windhoek.
... The ridiculous thing is I'm enrolled in a safe labour seat. But if I have to spend all year watching America go completely bonkers, I want to at least blow my democratic wad on some piece of paper or other.

Before I left I informed the AEC that I wouldn't be in town and voting for the next ever, so if it helps think of it as your non-vote and mine cancelling each other out.

all good mate
and yes @Botznoy given that the only reason you and your partner couldn't confirm your attendance before the deadline was a technical issue, you get first refusal
if you can't make it then the spots will be offered to Chris and his partner
I can confirm that Chris and I will be able to come to Margaret River. Only issue is that as everything is changing for me at work I will be uncomfortable asking for time off. I will have a new direct boss, new tasks etc etc. That means Chris and I will most likely travel to Margs separately (on the journey to Margs). As I can only use my phone to read forums and there are soo many pages could I ask the details be messaged to me so I can't accidentally get them wrong? Otherwise I will stress unnecessarily as to whether I have it all correct.
I'm wondering if drinking hot chocolate and bourbon through a straw is classy or desperate
Classy and an amazing idea. Then again I am the person who wants his brother in law to send over a bottle of the new Bundy Salted Caramel Royal Liqueur to put on ice cream.

that also sounds amazing.
that's how I was introduced to Chambord. It was poured over vanilla ice cream.

Gonna be a weird trip.
Namibia is full of German shit
my eighteenth birthday cake was a Black Forest cake that we bought from a weird little bakery in a town in the middle of the desert. we ate it around a campfire with jackals prowling for the scraps, it was dope

That's simultaneously a terrible idea, and yet not totally impossible.
Just don't be the guy who flew a drone over the White House and then got tackled by the secret service.
I'll be in africa so they're unlikely to successfully tackle me.
You can never be too careful

Apologies for being silent these last few days.

I like voting!
I'm reasonably sure Blake is making the whole concept up.
... where on earth have you been living that you don't have election day sausage sizzles.
Satans..... hints.....
The NT News and local radio stations had a field day with that.

@Botznoy if you want the places, they are yours
To everyone else, if it turns out that our places aren't getting used up, and I've caused you all to pay extra I will make it up to all of you.
@Vivixenne I will specifically make things up to you, since I've caused you a bunch of inconvenience regardless.

Both but in a good way.

I didn't see any Nazi paraphernalia though
A shot of bourbon in a hot chocolate is an excellent pre-bed drink.
it sounds delightful.
I was just picturing you with a hot cuppa cocoa in one hand and a snifter in the other.
And one of those hats with straws with a straw going into each drinking vessel.
the image amused me.
