Hi

Just want to raise awareness I been seeing this dog looks like German Shepherd wandering in Wollert Rise if anyone owns this I called the council too and was advised they’re going to send someone to look.

Not On My Smashed Avo disrespectful youth

905 Upvotes

I took two of my clients to the movies today for a nice outing, and honestly had the most disgusting experience at Reading Cinemas in Dandenong.

3 young boys I’d say around 17-18yo were obnoxious, loud, being disrespectful the whole movie and ignored my many attempts of asking them to stop and telling them we paid to be there to see the movie too.

At the end of the movie, they ran out before the lights turned on and threw all their full snack packets and full bottles of soft drinks at us, which thankfully missed, because this could have caused injury at the force it was thrown.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and I had told the cinema staff who I suggested call security as I could see the boys hovering outside the cinema. The staff would not despite my many attempts to request this, and instead just gave us 3 free movie vouchers.

I appreciate the vouchers but for 3 young women walking back to the car I was appalled they didn’t take the request seriously especially considering how aggressive those boys were and obviously had no qualms throwing stuff at us to cause harm.

I don’t know what I’m trying to achieve out of writing this but I’ve never had this happen before and I’m honestly shocked and disgusted at how these guys behaved.
Has anyone ever had this experience? Is it worth notifying the police over?
The cinema management didn’t seem too interested in helping much and i wouldn’t be able to give a clear description due to the dark movie theatre, as they left before the lights turned on.

Real estate/Renting First Timer renter wondering how to move in an extra roommate

2 Upvotes

Just moved out of home for the first time and have been renting by myself for 4ish months now in a two bedroom unit, I've been quite comfortable so far and not had any issues. recently had a good friend approach who was interested in moving into the other bedroom which id be happy to have so I can save a bit of extra money.

Just unsure about how to actually move them in do I need to sublet or have them as an approved resident or actually get them on the lease?

Honestly this should not be so complicated but every single medical professional gives a different answer. Is a care plan calculated from date of issue or... calendar year. Would be great to know if I only have 10 weeks to get my back and mental health in order lol.

THDG Need Help Bike shops with good range of apparel?

9 Upvotes

Morning all.

I've got a new job, and I'm back to biking to work 4 days a week. I need some new bib shorts, a new pair of shoes, and maybe a couple of jerseys.

Any recommendations for bike shops that carry a good range of apparel so I can try brands and sizes, rather than ordering and returning a million things online? (CBD or inner North would be ideal)

Brand reccos are welcome too; I'm after comfort and quality (washes well, etc.), but they don't need to make a big fashion statement!

Cheers 🚴

I'd be so grateful for any recommendations for GPs or specialists dealing with PCOS / PMOS that people have had positive experiences with.
