Shit post I know, but the Murray Cres/Stuart Cres/Captain Cook lights and I have a mutual deep loathing for each other. We both see red when we encounter each other.

Are there any other lights around Canberra I should five-spit curse as I pass them?

Hi all,

I work remotely and am now on a mission to try to work from local library from time to time. I am after local library with (ample of) free parking spots on weekdays. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I’ve got a friend who’s getting into sour beers like five years too late. I want to get him a selection to try for his birthday but none of the bottle stores around me sell any, so I’m thinking I may have to go further afield than South tuggers surprisingly.

Has anyone noticed any stores around that sell a good range (or really any!) sour beers? Could always resort to something like Beer Cartel but would like to go local.

Cheers!

So despite my best efforts, my IBS-C has led to some wicked haemorrhoids. :/

Don't worry, I had a colonoscopy in 2024 to rule out anything worse. Colorectal surgeon attempted haemorrhoid banding at that time, with no success.

Are there any specialists in Canberra that do treatment other than banding? Looking at sclerotherapy or haemorroidectomy but I hear the latter is so painful you end up needing 4-6 weeks off work?!

Thanks!

Any pub to watch 🇧🇷 x 🇳🇴 tomorrow?

The gate was wide open, it's dark, I drove in, then the gate closed behind me. I'm locked in, it's a scam exit and I can't get out. Does anyone know a number to call to get out? THANK YOU I ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!!!

Update: I'm out! A kind redditor offered to help me get out - when I met him at the gate someone happened to be entering and I drove out. What a relief!

I've just recently moved southside and am struggling to find anywhere that meets the bougieness of the Ainslie IGA, the closest I've found is Harris Farm in Majura which is great but a bit of a trek, hoping there's just a small place in a suburb that I might just not know about yet. Any recommendations would be much appreciated! Mostly looking for fancy meats and cheeses!

Edit: thanks all! I'll have to do some perusing for sure!

Not quite Canberra, I know, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction!

I've just moved to the area from VIC and it's a different vibe for sure. TABs with closed, dark tinted doors, not many with visible outdoor seating. Hard to get a read on the type of place.

Where to go for a beer and a bowl of chips on a nice afternoon, short of taking the bus somewhere closer to the city?

It's a beautiful morning in Tuggeranong. 🌞

What happened to the Vinnies bins at shopping centres? I usually donate clothes in good nick. Is that not done anymore?

This could be a bit of a long shot but i remember a friend of mine used to be a part of the underground music scene and i know there is a pretty thriving culture here but im not sure where to actually find any information about it

I've gotten the urge to cook some whole fish for the past couple months but the last time I've seen whole fish was January in Coles civic once and that was it.

I know Costco has some but I can't really ship there as I don't have a car ATM so I'm basically locked to the city and close surrounding

Bit of a weird question, but does anyone have a recommendation for a relatively quiet cafe with outdoor seating (ideally sunny or with heaters so we don’t freeze)?

I have a people-fearful 6 month old puppy who I am hoping to try to take out to a cafe tomorrow so that she can hopefully just sit with other people near her.

I’m located in the inner south but happy to travel.

Thank you!

This is a burner account because some close friends know my main one.

I essentially lost the plot and chemically cut + sawed off my hair. I don’t really want to go to my old hairdresser because I used to work there and left, so I will be HEAVILY judged if I rock up with this.

I just need a hairdresser who is really compassionate and caring when it comes to mental health. I just need someone who can help me out without pointing out the obvious fact that it was a stupid idea.

I am pretty alternative leaning, so bonus points if they’re willing to get super creative with it because it is pretty bad (went from collarbone length to choppy bowl cut)

Thank you so much

I NEED YOU TO HONK!

There's a plague in our city of people running the red, it happens all the time. We've gotta start using our horns, holding them the whole time someone is in the intersection that shouldn't be. Not a polite toot, hold that damn thing down, it won't hurt the horn. This isn't a retribution, but a danger warning.

Today I saw a large tip truck run 3 consecutive red lights, on the second it was for a crossing where school kids were waiting and it was just luck that everyone was watching.

I'm not saying we should police people's behaviour, I'll leave that to the people who have the job. I'm not an angel that is cursing every minor infringement, running around with a dashcam and notepad trying to tattletale. I'm saying that we should let vulnerable road users know. So that next time a kid is crossing, someone on a bike, in a bike lane is going or an older person on a mobility scooter is trying, they have a shot at not getting hit.

ALSO! The amber light actually means "stop if possible" not "I can make it!" So ya, if someone is entering the intersection with their foot screwed to the floor when the amber has been lit for a while, that's when you start.

HONK GODDAMNIT! Maybe it'll save someone's life.
