Monarch Cakes in St Kilda has been on Acland Street since 1934. They've just brought back Paradise, a 4-layer Hungarian cake that takes 3 days to make.

These ubiquitous tweets with people saying *some personal news* and “can’t wait to get started!” How I long for something more fresh like! “Hey, It’s a f**king job” Or “I had to get out of my last gig as extramarital affair with Bob from accounts !”

I mean I’m from Adelaide so know nothing. But isn’t Mosman something you look at across the water and think “that’s where I would live if I wasn’t proper rich, was only a television newsreader”, couldn’t afford Point Piper and/or wanted a a good blow dry or a French bistro meal?

I absolutely abhor when you contact someone and instead of saying whats up or I’ll get back to you they say “is everything ok” implying they won’t reply unless you’re having some personal crisis just cal me back y’all 😵‍💫 (I still hate ribbed bodysuits and t shirts also)

Interesting argument. Why do you think there’s so many more men earning over $200,000 than women? Are all the women just a bit shit or something ? Or is it possible that…bosses just pay them more than women doing the same job (sometimes even with better KPIs) 😇

I remember this day too. I feel like it was Sunday because I remember watching the Sunday program on Nine. I remember those weird Telex things too (although the first year I started in journalism there were typewriters not computers and no I am not joking. )

Rightio now my inbox is exploding with furious men earning over $200,000 a year. Who are very cross about this article. It's just a fact. Stop being so emotional :) The article isn't saying you can't have your $9,000 tax cut just pointing out who is getting them

It’s really annoying when people just don’t keep you in the loop? Don’t you think? Makes your blood boil! I mean, it’s just like all those letters he sent to Cormann, Porter, Josh F, Karen. Oh…never mind!

Son, 15, complains friends of brother, 13, slept in his room mega sleepover it “looks like someone has executed an FBI search warrant”. They’ve moved his books “which is surprising because I don’t think any of them read”. Note to self: don’t let your kids watch question time!
