Normal transmission of NotFunnys has now resumed:

Just use Amazon and Abebooks as a directory when book-buying - contact the sellers and arrange purchase directly. The sellers are always VERY happy to save themselves some $ and stick it to that arsehole.

Back home after two weeks in the cardiac ward and a stent operation. Looking forward to resumption of normal service. I'm only 57, never smoked, already obliged to eat healthily bc of IBS. Yet it still happened. Look after your tickers, folks, you only get one go.

Mellencamp's Cherry Bomb. Smug boomer shit about how everything was better when they were young. The local supermarket's always playing it and it gives me an earworm.

What if... Australia's weird & grotesque mini-Trump Peter Dutton wins their election, decides that New Zealand isn't pulling its weight defence-wise, is under undue Chinese influence, and would be better off as an Australian state?
