FAKE ACCOUNTS
I CONCUR with Mayor Rosanna Natoli’s concerns about fake mayor accounts. It happens to me all the time. Ratbag Russians.
I’ve also made the occasional public callout to alert all the boomers, but still they insist on handing over their bank details. C’mon folks, wake up. Just like the mayor, I would never ask for your bank details. It’s too complicated. Just send me your credit card, expiry date and CVC to cranksi@fromrussiawithlove.ru.
HORIZON JUST A MIRAGE
So the council has kicked the Horizon Fest down the road. Fair enough. It was getting a bit long in the fringe.
Some events were making WOMADelaide look like a Taylor Swift convention. Does our demographic really have the inclination? Back in the day Horizon used to bring in the likes of Arj Barker and maybe it’s time to revisit. Sure he might give breastfeeding mums a hard time, but at least you can get the punch line.
BILLY I WISH
Had to buy Billie Eilish tickets for the girls last week. Or attempt to.
I joined the queue along with every other parent of 12-year-old daughters because, of course, they went on sale at 2pm.
I don’t mind being a disappointment to most of the kids, but not this little ball of delight.
ELECTRIC SCREAM
Read an interesting article the other day regarding the ‘do you, don’t you’ electric vehicle purchase equation.
One thing the Crank family doesn’t do very often is replace cars. And when we do it’s normally an insurance job, which is downright stressful.
The two cars we own have clocked up 290,000 and 250,000 kms respectively. So the combo of a premium upfront cost, a degrading (and expensive) battery and devastatingly bad resale value means the numbers are still yet to add up to go electric.
