Windsor Castle’s wartime pantomime pictures revealed https://t.co/bwUcG6oaa5 – I love these! I wish they were available in prints; I would love to have a set. What a great story too… @RCT https://t.co/v2Im4rx2gv


I have become a person who thinks to themself, “Ooh, track 5 is always devastating” while listening to Taylor Swift albums.


The great purge has begun. Anyone in Sydney looking to upgrade their home office setup? I’ve got an IKEA desk (a little scuffed), 2 rolling chairs, and plastic floor protectors. They’re on FB Marketplace, but mate’s rates for Twitter buddies. Pick up in Chippendale! https://t.co/x3XeqbUCq5


@LapTop006 Do you mean a table for making coffee on? It’s a little tall for a lounge style coffee table!


@LapTop006 Sadly, no proper coffee table on offer. Just this desk: 120cm wide by 80cm deep. 74cm high.


@jonoabroad Yep. Haven’t made any big announcement, but the news is out… we’re moving to Germany! I mean, once the government gives us permission to actually leave. (It’s a weird time to be planning a move.)


@gilmae Our dining set is a zillion years old, dude. Chairs definitely need to be reupholstered. If you’re keen though, definitely open to offers.


For any of my fellow olds who haven’t figured this out, Facebook Marketplace is where you go to offload shit. I’ve had like 10 people message me about office chairs, and I think some of them are actually going to turn up!


@The_McJones I BELIEVE IN ALEX, TIM.


@simonwaight I listed the same items on Gumtree at the same time. Not a single nibble. FB seems to have way more of eyeballs…


@simonwaight $10 for a decent height-adjustable office chair went like hotcakes on FB, but zero on Gumtree. I’m as surprised as you are.


Next up – IKEA Ivar. Need to store a bunch of stuff? Our whole set would set you back $400+, but we’ll take $100 for it. 7 side pieces; 15 small shelves; 3 large shelves; 3-drawer chest; cross-braces, hanging baskets, all the bits and bobs… https://t.co/eTkX9DEIcO


@MitchPommers Mitch, you are welcome to it! It’s pretty configurable. I used one unit in my office for craft supplies; and Rodd had his full of books and home brewing equipment.


So much stuff. Wii + 13 games + peripherals + Wii Fit + 2 guitars. Anybody interested? $200 negotiable. (DON’T JUDGE ME for the High School Musical Singalong game. It’s super fun.) https://t.co/vrHctFIDYw


@thesecretlab @parisba @TheMartianLife @The_McJones They turned up! We were so excited we threw in some floor mats too.


Stuff the Snook has unearthed in his office so far today: printed out Yahoo Map instructions from 2010; an expired $50 Coles Myer gift card from 2009; a VideoEZY membership card from the 90’s; and two zen gardens.


@twistieman He actually covered them up once we got cats (for the obvious reasons), so they haven’t been fulfilling their purpose!


@bmusedbystandr We covered them up when we got the cats, too afraid that Amy would do a poo in them. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Huh. Tried to list a 65L Karrimor Lynx hiking backpack on FB Marketplace but it got flagged as potentially being a misleading/counterfeit product! It’s the real deal – bought it in 2000 thinking I’d be a much more active, roughing-it type traveller than I actually am. ๐Ÿ˜‚ https://t.co/MB2PJcnnga


@LapTop006 This one’s yours for $40! ๐Ÿ™‚


@gilmae Iโ€™ve inhaled a LOT of dust today.


@drwitty_knitter @jonoabroad ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


@joannejacobs When the book came out, people kept telling me I’d love it, so I read it, and then I felt offended that they thought that.


@chixors Helpful tip!


@carbolicious He just showed me a printout of an email that Eman sent the both of us inviting us to a party at his house in London. It was from Jan 2000, before we were even going out. What a thing to have saved. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ข


Any Sydney homebrewers looking for 750ml swingtop bottles? The Snook’s offloading two dozen. $20 for the lot. Also good for kombucha. @cazjade? https://t.co/pHqiGaZStI


@msharp @cazjade @misswired Hehe, that’s who I was aiming for when I tagged the wrong account. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Fairly certain this was from the Netdecisions Summer Party circa 2001. WHAT BABIES WE WERE. (We were supposed to wear something representative of our home countries, hence my Minnie ears. IIRC the Snook had a small koala patch pinned inside his dinner jaโ€ฆ https://t.co/Nuo9xLdR1K https://t.co/pipD7ShnWr
