@JoeBrainwarrior @AuschwitzMuseum Adding ova to the end of the surname feminises it- so her brothers and father would be Grunfeld and her mother and sisters would be Grunfeldova

21 August 1904 | A Czech Jewish woman, Hilda Grünfeldová, was born in Ostrava. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt Ghetto on 6 September 1943. She did not survive.

@PhilipThalis Unless it's heritage listed watch it get demoed and replaced with something hideous and extremely large

Some 1970’s suburban palazzo style in South Maroubra, no doubt courtesy of hard-working migrants who did well & wanted to show off. Quite a few out-there elements not to be found in any architectural magazines of the period. This one in Broome St, but plenty more up in Sth Coogee

@TMFScottP Mate - child labour! Otherwise known as pocket money

Inflation: a story in two parts: Me: Just an external wash and vacuum please mate. Him: Do you want a polish? No, thanks It'll look better with a polish. No, just the wash and vacuum. [He looks around the car] That'll be $110. Me: [rueful smile] No thanks, mate.

@oldlillipilli @Leo_Puglisi6 How on earth is England above Thailand🤣🙄🤯?

@Leo_Puglisi6 A) does the food the US eat quality as cuisine & B) How on earth is it rated above French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, or Malaysian food?

so italy is number 1 as it should be but AMERICA NUMBER 8??

@coolguy69666 @discoball2000 Rather that than Starbucks Singapore's laksa croissant

Would eat.

This is excellent news. Have long wanted to see more news from our region

@coolguy69666 The last time I had no hair I looked like a conehead. May have had something to do with the callipers used to yank me out of my mother?

Need this today🤣

@abiylfoyp All well and good but I would also argue that any org that can't manage with at least 10% weirdos is never going to successfully innovate

@abiylfoyp Not an engineer. 100% agree. Also less people who talk too loudly/fast.

@TMFScottP It looks like one of those tumeric lattes! Apparently very good for joint inflammation or some shit🤣

Just accidentally dropped a Berocca in my coffee instead of the glass of water next to it. Yep...

@mightbeautistic @eliistender10 All the fucking time

What seems like a compliment but is actually an insult?

@saffronhowden You mean the one who likes to say im "playing the autism card" when we disagree?🙄

The first thing @robw1972 eats when he gets off the plane?

@nickterry_ @slamup Nothing regular bout you my friend!

Celebrity Blue Ticks going off about having to pay for their blue tick is actually pretty funny. Lol. Because they don’t have to pay for it, they can just *not have* a tick…but they want the social capital of the tick. 🙄

@parnellpalme For some reason people seem to recognise me, so I wait for them to say hi and I "subtly" check out their name tag. It worked ok-ish at the conference I was at last week.

At a conference with a lot of people who look vaguely familiar. Has anyone invented a Shazam for faces yet?

@erinrileyau I dreamt a dear old friend was going to name her child Bek8. She didn't, but apparently Beckett was on the shortlist 🤣

@nickterry_ I have loved all your work on(and off) the bird app😍
