Though I've said it a couple of times previously, this time I really mean it. I've finally found the escape hatch from Twitter! 🚀 Come find me on Threads (@jimmiorebro) where hopefully the drama is less and the conversations are more meaningful. 🤞 #Threads #GoodbyeTwitter
After a year of bingeing podcasts about the UK and US elections, I think it's time to watch a series or two of "Are You Being Served?".
I'm not working tomorrow, as I have medical appointments, but of course I'll be across the ABC's coverage. But secretly, this might be my guilty pleasure.
Had a drink tonight with an American friend in Sydney (from South Carolina) who was TOTALLY INDIGNANT about being asked by another American in Sydney if he was voting Trump or Harris. "I can't believe they even asked me", he said.
A fun new tradition amongst friends. jamesobrien.id.au/2024/11/first-…
Nice sentiment
Something for the scrapbook - I got a mention in the ABC's annual report. Thankfully, I haven't disgraced myself!! live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/69a2c82a858e55…
Something I've written about "invisible barriers", including club security cameras that only photograph the top of your head!!! jamesobrien.id.au/2024/10/invisi…
Slightly amused today. First email today from someone (ABC staff member) surprised ABC Radio broadcasts cricket. Well, it's only been 90 years, and it IS summer!!
I have a disability parking permit and so this story really annoys me. drive.com.au/caradvice/outr…
The older I've gotten, and now living with a physical disability, the more "flexible" I've become with the five second on the floor rule for dropped food.
Today, I took receipt of my new (permanent) prosthetic, which I've named after my dad, because he helped me walk both literally and figuratively. My "wet leg" will be called Bertha, after my mum for the same reasons, though she was a little more sporty than dad,
Signs you are the oldest person in the workplace: when you make a joke about the Queensland election and say "Don't you worry about that..." and you have to explain the joke.
This is what it's like to randomly meet other amputees. jamesobrien.id.au/2024/10/shared…
Who is playing the SCG/SFS in Sydney tonight? I live close by. They're noisy and I don't like the music, unlike many concerts I enjoy being close by.
LIam Payne's death even made the Lismore, Ballina and Casino funerals page!!! Until now, our most famous burial was Winnifred Atwell at South Gundurimba.
Celebrity/musician deaths are starting to get awfully close to my own age. Much prefer when they were in their 80s!!! That said, a year ago I almost died, I remain grateful. ==abc.net.au/news/2024-10-1…
For about a decade I did the Drive show on ABC Regional Radio in NSW. I was so incredibly proud George Negus listened, as he lived near Coffs. He was always happy to chat on the radio, especially about soccer. Lovely man.
Only a few years ago I was going clubbing all night long, and now Facebook is serving me ads like this.
