Get friendly with your grocer. Ask questions. The grocery shed closest to the Dairy Hall at Queen Victoria Market has pretty tough competition, so it's a good place to start.

How to Build a Members-only Website? by muzzlemuzzlemuzzle in Wordpress

[–]Dunstanistan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restrict Content Pro. if it's good enough for CSS tricks, it's probably good enough for anybody. I have used Groups and Woocommerce on a site with 4000+ members, as I needed custom payment options, but does require more attention.

Bookstores and Record Stores in Melbourne. by yeahnahteambalance in melbourne

[–]Dunstanistan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are no less than 4 decent record stores near Smith Street, Collingwood. 'Title', 'Northside Records' (both in Gertrude), 'The Searchers', and another one up near Johnston street on Smith street. Otherwise 'Round and Round' in Sydney Road Brunswick is a goldmine for quality secondhand and new.

The Last Jar in North Melbourne have a delicious rotating menu of offal gems. I've had head cheese, black pudding, trotters and tripe there. Always a surprise.

[–]Dunstanistan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've had a similar experience at the airport after asking to go to Coburg. Told the driver to pull into the Maccas just outside the airport and paid my fare. Hailed another cab. "Fuck you? No, fuck you back."

Have been standing desk for 2 years now. Won't go back. I lost weight, I don't get back pain anymore either. 'Varidesk' make an adjustable standing desk to help you ease into it as the first couple of weeks take some getting used to.
