But yeah, i do play down big issues, but as you said, im also a parent. So the big manning thing makes sense.

I get why he did it, I come from a long line of "worriers" on my mother's side, so in theory he was protecting me. But when I did find out, I felt like a right dog for not knowing. The thing is, I did ask what was going on and if it was serious but was told no.

There are lots of unwritten rules on how to live life. I have one rule that I've written down and it applies to anyone who eats at my place.

Vegemite that leaves the jar, is never to be returned. You take too much out, you better bloody eat it.

Commiserations; it’s a horrible feeling. They failed to ask themselves, were the tables turned - would you be honest with them? And it’s obvious you’re a person of integrity.

Ever asked for vegimite on toast at a city cafe? Once you get past the 17 different types of bread and confuse the person by saying white, they ask light medium or heavy. So answer is heavy no butter and it comes out stingy as shit. Heavy should be a slather not a light smear.
Dont start me on asking for baked beans on toast in a cafe......

In the menu as “A semi-deconstructed assemblage of lightly seared, sliced artisan loaf served against beans cooked in a rich, delicately seasoned, traditional tomato jus”

Baked beans with toast on the side????

Exactly, but $25 as UD suggested. A few years ago someone reported in the media, having seen a menu with “flock watcher’s pie”. That’s shepherd’s pie for everyone without pretension.

Ever had (in my case i wasnt paying) deconstructed pumpkin and fetta ravioli?
You pay more for a half arsed job. 2 sheets of pasta with a dollop of the pumpkin and fetta mix in the middle of the plate.....

Drove a four hour round trip today to spend 10 minutes with the endodontist so he could tell me the room canal he did a year ago is all good. And that the crown the local dentist did is a good job. Why couldn't the local dentist take the two xrays of the tooth and forward them to the endodontist for review?

It's not like they charged me for the session today!
