The return of Starbucks in Melbourne. whats worse is that they always seem busy... I reckon they have placed them in strategic positions where Asian students generally hang out.

The return? They never completely left the CBD (or chadstone).

It never went away but they did peter out for a while. They are an interesting case study in Australia as their aggressive marketing strategy didn't work very well (ie opening as many stores as possible at the same time to create a huge presence), and accordingly they had to close the majority of them. Would have cost shitloads for very little return

Where are the new ones located in the cbd? I always knew about the Elizabeth St one but i can't say i have noticed a resurgence.

Traffic lights that only let half a dozen cars through before going red. The people who are in charge of the timing sequences should be taken out the back and thrashed within an inch of their ****** lives!!!!

Not even half a dozen. I only see 2 go forward with the 3rd one borderline with that a-hole yellow light. Barely 5 seconds.

Its more the selfish aholes who just saunter through with the "I'm alright Jack" attitude. If everyone went through with a little bit more haste more cars would get through

Agree with you Tigerman & Tigertim.

Should have like they do in some other countries I travel a ( think its a 15 sec countdown clock ), forgotten the time its set on, but people will know what I mean introduced here.

Wasn't the Govt or State Govt ( Vic I think going to trial or introduce it ? ).

What happened to that ?

It’s not canned, it’s just forced and insincere.

Canned laughter on any *smile* comedy shown nowadays. Real comedy died when PC settled in.

Besides the plastic bag ban to bring in more plastic bags......what's this 'Since 2018' rubbish?? How cocky Coles?.

The bag I used today was as dirty as *smile*.

It’s hard to understand the angst surrounding the banning of plastic bags from here in the UK. We’ve had to pay 5p for a plastic bag for a couple of years now, and basically everyone has stopped using them. That’s a good thing.

Spend a couple of $ and buy a few ‘bags for life’, leave them in your car and you should never need a plastic bag again.

It’s just the way it is here now, and I’m glad about it. Plastic bags are the devil’s work.

I've been doing it for about 6 months now. I use fabric bags not the crap reinforced plastic ones that they sell at Coles / Woolies. They are great and so much easier to carry, much easier on the hands as well. Once I empty the shopping I just put the bags by the door ready to go back into the boot. Very easy.

It's a routine we're not used to yet. Women would be used to it more as they carry bags all the time. I don't. It's also the point of re-using them that bothers me. Leave them in the car or wherever, don't they get smelly and/or dirty after a while. At least the previous bags were used again for bins instead of just hanging around inside a car or a house.

Al-Shabab has just banned single-use plastic bags in areas of Somalia it controls.

3 Coles bags = 3 torn with holes. Brilliant Coles & Woolies, brilliant!!

'mental health' used to describe 'poor mental health', or 'mental illness'

e.g. AFL.com headline today

'Swan out with Mental Health'

I skip work because of mental health most weeks, and this routine misnomer annoys me.
