Why was my post pulled

[the big bambino]

Thread to become part of CW folklore.

Pandas. Pandas. Why do they exist.

Haha I know the admin team is fairly left-leaning but man you need to stop being so paranoid about it. This is the second time you've been totally off the mark in your assumptions about it in the last week or so.

There, TNT, now you can put this behind you by making a legitimate thread "Why was my thread title changed"

Great stuff from TNT here.

If it makes you feel any better, take comfort in the knowledge that this year Mrs Burgey and I spent the first week of October thinking daylight saving had already started, when it didn't kick off until the second weekend. We did this notwithstanding that we wondered why it was still so light so early, and so dark so early. My watch battery had died and of course your phones update the time automatically, and with the oven clock buggered as well, we just didn't figure it out.

It got to the Saturday night and we were on the phone to an Apple support bloke who told us he was in Brisbane and it was 7pm there, and we spent ten minutes arguing with him and saying it was 7pm in Sydney so it could only be 6pm there.

We had a look on social media and all these people were talking about clocks going forward, and we thought they were taking the piss in some sort of collective joke until we did a Google search and Mrs Burgey suggested that company probably wasn't in on the joke.

The really stupid thing is we were walking around saying how tired we were owing to the time changing, and we both mentioned it to people through the week, and no one corrected either of us. That, of course is understandable as we are the inner west's premier power couple, but you would have expected someone to chirp up.

Still doesn’t beat the bus home from work story.

I can’t belive people haven’t done the bus/ car thing. Fmd you drive in as a one-off, work back because you’re busy and wander off to the bus stop like you normally do. It’s easily done. Once anyway.

My father did something like that when his bank gave him his first vehicle. He went to work in the morning using public transport and returned home in a bus. Now you all know where the onlyshri hashtag started.

Maybe the #OnlyShri moment here is that his father used public transport both ways despite having a company vehicle

That's a Shri-fectra.

The grand slam of Shri'ing up.

He went to work. Was given the keys and then came home in a bus after an office party specifically thrown for him for getting a new vehicle.

All this bullying of shri is making me queasy.

I am not Warner ffs. Bring it on.

Yeah I've fallen foul of this before, though I've stopped before actually getting on public transport, usually because I've found my car key in my pocket half way to the station.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

I once pulled off the road and parked in a panic because my keys weren't in my pocket. They were of course in the ignition.

 

[GIMH]

Haha. The day I finished school I went over to town and got sozzled. When I got out the taxi at home I realised I didn’t have my keys and wallet. I knew the taxi would come back on itself at the other end of my block so ran towards the road it would join to try and stop the taxi, where I’d obviously left said keys and wallet.

I stumbled, my shoes came off and I landed knuckles down on the pavement. I could feel the cuts and turned my hand to my face to inspect the damage, where of course I was greeted by the sight of my keys and wallet.

 

[Pratters]

sozzled isn't a word, surely?

 

[the big bambino]

It’s more authentic than the story.
