For the last couple of days I kept thinking there must be an old smelly sock somewhere in our bedroom. I asked my wife about it and she complained my sense of smell is too good. Maybe she’s right I was thinking so tried to ignore it.

Just now I’m getting these strong whiffs of it again. Furniture was shifted. Much walking around was done until I found it.

Our house came with what I think is this plant, now well established in a couple of spots between the perimeter walkway and the walls.

There was a flower vase with some cuttings on her bedside table with it. Honestly it’s smells to me like socks from a camp that you’ve walked far too long in crossed with a touch of leaky toilet.

No dear, honey doesn’t smell like that.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

Could have been worse, could have been Linden trees (sketch mildly NSFW).

There's an ad on TV (in that pre-News slot where shonky advertisers tout their overpriced 'Wait, there's more' -type products) where an American woman is trying to sell something or other. She says: "I tried this and it was so harrrd, I tried that and it was so harrrd, I tried everything and it was so harrrd". UGH.

The advertiser was too cheap to dub in a Kiwi voice and we get subjected to this awful, grating accent. Do they really think this will induce us to buy their crap?

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

I think it must do...otherwise they wouldn't spend the significant sum it costs to advertise in prime time

As long as the cost of running the advertisement is less than the profit from the sales, then that sort of thing will continue.

(Seriously, there's a two-lane, 50 km/h stretch of road that I drive 2-3 times a month, and I'm always overtaken).

And now I see something in the paper about someone going 130 in it.

I don't watch TV anymore is either Adverts, Crap news, Reruns, Reboots or just garbage "reality TV" BS.

It's not that significant now that they have minimal viewers. That is why all this crap is able to be advertised.

I cut the cord years ago in favor of the Web, though TVNZ7 was an exception. The more things change...

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

The weather in the last two weeks of September and first week or two of October are always revolting here in the UAE.

Summer is incredibly hot (45 degrees isn't unusual) but it's a dry heat. This time of year is cooler but the humidity is insane.

I just got back from walking the dog, 30 degrees and 85% humidity is revolting. I feel like I was walking in a plastic bag.

In one-two weeks the humidity will drop by 50% (it's linked to the monsoon breaking in India) and we'll be into the happy time but the end of summer sucks.

May not be long before Dubai residents will be walking around in cooling suits. Or the city itself getting covered in a giant biodome.

For people doing that and using smart TVs, you may want to consider this. Read and enjoy in the lack of privacy of your own home.

It a month it’ll be 25-30 degrees everyday. Winter is just wonderful here.

Yes I’m going to say it. That accent would do the opposite for me! It is just so irritating and everyone I’ve spoken to say that it does not induce them to buy, in fact the opposite.

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.
