Crap Music played while shopping in Major Shopping Centers....makes me want to get in and get out quickly.

I heard several years ago a particular Shopping Center was having problems with a lot of teenagers running a muck about the place etc ............ so Management changed the ' Shopping Music ' in the Center to old time ' Bing Crosby and Vera Lyn ' ....within a a short time the ' kids ' had moved on elsewhere .... Maccas and KFC copped it then.

It's odd, but for me, the music Coles play on their Coles Radio, I find to be pretty good. I actually enjoy listening to their webstream here at home.
Very much commercial mainstream, but actually decent variety, and no stupid announcers, although there are the inane Coles ads.

If that's the case then those youths were definitely not Fallout series players. Such music would have made Fallout series players WANT to stay.

Woolworths have 1 hour of silent shopping on Tuesdays for old curmudgeons between 10 and 11 or something.

Some of us have the ability to tune out extraneous background hiss.

Coles have that too, it's not for the "old curmudgeons"

I'm used to it with my wife kicking me as I snore. You'll need to try harder.

BTW, does said voodoo doll resemble a bearded ball of lard?

If you two weren't bickering over who's kicking/stabbing who, you'd have noticed its looking mighty tempting outside this evening.

Who says viewing should be evening only?
This afternoon, here in Brisbane, I spent a couple of hours, after lunch viewing the moon.

It has been perfect here for days but I was so crook I just could not drag myself out of bed..until last night...but that was a mistake.

Being sick has stopped work on everything although I have managed to round up a fire pump and bought hoses to set up something to help save the Damvan in case of Bush fire.

It's looks nice outside now but I just don't have the energy so I must be sick if I am passing...maybe more m31 data later.
