Dunno. Just out walking and saw it on the road. I guess someone dropped and it got run over some time after.

I'm gonna take the sign. I asked a brother if he wants it but he probably doesn't. If anyone else wants a little slice of Enmore history get in touch. I'll be in town for the next week.

Flying Tong was a Korean chicken and beer joint on Enmore Road and operated for about the past eight years. A few weeks or so ago it closed and some tacky Mexican place has opened since. Tacky because they put a blinding VIP club style shop sign out the front where there is a bus stop. Seriously people.

I just came across Flying Tong's old shop sign on the curb near our place.

Flying Tong kept us going during the pandemic. Knowing that I could go and get super spicy chicken and wash it down with a cold beer before succumbing to a food coma brought me much joy.

I am genuinely sad to see Flying Tong go. All the best to the proprietor and staff.

The way the windows have reflected your neighbours houses and driveways makes this look like a painting.

They could be for real. I honestly don't know. Maybe it wasn't an ad. That's why I asked. In case it was a misunderstanding. Although at this point, it's not looking good.

You're back! What do you think about the mods removing that comment you made in your last post that seemed like an advertisment for a funeral business?

Australia's sanctions against two far-right Israeli government ministers have been condemned by the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Wednesday morning announced Australia would join New Zealand, Canada, Norway and the United Kingdom in sanctioning Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

I only just realised how meaningless this phrase is. And I'm pretty sure it's used a lot. It's like this kind of language is deliberately crafted to scramble our brains.

I ate this meal at the end of 5 days of bushwalking AKA backpacking.

The chips and “butter fish” are accompanied by a wedge of lemon, some tartare sauce and a sprinkling of chicken salt. Also a deep fried dim sim, a calamari ring, and a battered scallop.

Including a drink (ginger beer?), it cost AUD$16.80.

I like to crosspost stuff I find in All that references Australia to AZ.
