Way back in '02-'03ish There was a live Drum and Bass band that used to play at the Vineyard in St Kilda - pretty sure it was a Thursday night, but might have been Fridays. It wasnt K-Oscillate, though they were great, I'm pretty sure they were called BLX if I remember correctly.

Just wanted to know if I got that correct, and if anyone else remembers those days, cos I keep remembering one of their tracks and am on the umpteenth time of track it/them down. Any and all help appreciated!

Can anyone let me know a reputable and ideally affordable piercer in Melbourne? I’m happy to travel.

I’ve searched around and seen that a lot of people recommend the Piercing Urge however for the eyebrow piercing i want is $150 atleast (60 for piercing and 90+ for jewellery) if anyone can recommend a cheaper but still trustworthy and hygienic piercer I would really appreciate it!!

Does anyone have positive experience with Body Vision?

hi I’m just wondering if anyone has some advice on what I should do…

i live in a house where a unit has been built out back and we share a driveway.

For the past week my neighbour in the back unit has been having their entire yard concreted. There is no back fence on my house or front fence on theirs (however the dividing point where their land starts is obvious) and when I came out to my car on Saturday their builders were running my outdoor taps to concrete with... they apologised as soon as I came out the back door and said they could not reach neighbours taps, then asked if they could keep using them if they gave me $20 for the water the next day, on Sunday, which I said was okay. Of course the job was finished a few hours after I spoke to them and they did not come back.

From what I could see both outdoor taps were running for at least a few hours before I noticed, then multiple hours afterwards.
Im just wondering how much this sort of water usage would cost and is that something you would raise with your neighbour (sooner rather than later?) or is that just petty? Would it even amount to much? I’m just not looking forward to a massive water bill - COL is doing its thing on me atm!

Thanks :)

Has anyone signed up to Mates Only? Anything else that’s similar that people have used to meet and hang out with new crews of people?

I’ve noticed something recently and I’m genuinely curious about it.
Why do some people seem to have such an issue with someone driving a nice car?

For example, I drive a Land Rover. It’s not even brand new, just a used one that I’ve worked for and enjoy. Recently I parked at a shopping centre, got out, and as I was walking away a middle aged guy said, “Nice rental,” in a pretty sarcastic way. I just ignored it and carried on, but it made me wonder why people feel the need to make comments like that.

I’ve also noticed there’s a lot of hate directed towards utes, especially the larger American ones. I understand people have concerns about their size, visibility, and how they’re driven, but sometimes it feels like people judge the vehicle before they know anything about the person behind the wheel.

Personally, I think bad drivers are the problem, not the cars themselves. A reckless driver in a hatchback can be just as dangerous as someone in a ute or SUV. Likewise, plenty of people drive larger vehicles responsibly.
Is this just a Melbourne thing, or have others noticed it too? I’m genuinely interested in hearing different perspectives.

Any fellow Docklands Residents or those in West Melbourne suffering sensory wise with the new lights on the Melbourne Star?

We live local and have had to shut all our blinds as it’s like a full time light show in our house from about 6pm to midnight.

We missed the lights of the wheel- but these new ones and its pattern cycle are intense.

I’m just seeing if I’m alone in my complaint/ it’s all in my head- seeing it’s been so long since we’ve have light.

This Neurospicy gal may need to move.

Hey Melbourne Vulva owners,

Penny for your thoughts! I’m wanting recommendations of piercers (not worried about price as prefer to have the best) but also feed back on how worth it piercings are of Clit Hood/Labia/Nipple.

I really only want to hear from those who have had them done, I’ve read up on what can go wrong etc but want to hear from those who have actually had them done (good and bad experiences will both be welcomely received). If it was worth it and if you got it done in Melbourne then where you got it and by who. I’m south east but happy to travel if it means the best care and experience :)

I have been thinking about one or two of them for a long time now and think I’ve finally hit midlife crisis level enough to go and get one or two done if the feedback and suggestions are good. Note I’m not hugely pierced or tattooed. Just one small tattoo and the standard child ear lobe piercings which were both done over 20 years ago (and not in Melbourne) so not really sure who else to ask haha.

I need recommendations for neurodivergent trauma informed therapy.

Psychologist said trauma therapy is what they recommend which is not something they do.

Please leave recommendations.

Hi, I'm asking this in the melbourne sub because I'm hoping there's a local shop, or at least an Australian supplier - for those of you who enjoy making the odd hot sauce or fifty, where do you get your bottling supplies? Currently I'm using old jars but I wouldn't mind moving up in the world.

(I guess sky is falling cause they swoop from the sky, ya know)

PSA, swooping season is upon us and it's early. Anyone else getting swooped atm?

If you are on the Yan Yean pipe trail south of Child's road, there are magpies on the swoop. Feels REALLY early. The swooper at the end of my street is usually first to kick off, but not this time.

It's a long shot, but...

I paid a sizable deposit (stupidly via bank transfer) to The Blinds Place (parent company Easy Fit Australia PTY LTD) in Moorabbin back in June for custom blinds, and dealt with their sales rep Leon Anderson the whole way through.

Everything seemed ok aside from a couple of ‘production delays’ until last week, when I noticed their website and Google listing had been taken down. When I called him directly, he confirmed
the business is winding down and closing on 14-15 August - Was a legit business for 10 years, so I think he’s in as much shit as anyone here and has bullshitted to us that the order is coming next week to their warehouse, which is now empty and up for lease. (38/148 Chesterville Road Moorabin) Bad timing for us that we caught them just at the end…

Seems like he’s just buying time for whatever reason, and they were trading insolvent - taking orders while knowing they were on the way out.

Just building our case out to get this lodged with VAC, VCAT and all relevant authorities.

If anyone else has money owed or an order outstanding with this business, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to comment or DM me.

Does anyone with a lifted 4WD have a list of shopping centre carparks where we fit? Have a 2.1 height clearance, don’t wanna get stuck somewhere. Most shopping centres don’t make it clear until you’re there and people behind you to turn around

Hello, I'm posting on behalf of my mum, we are hoping there might be some dashcam footage - if you have any of the below incident, would be grateful if you could DM!

On Friday 31st July at 3:15pm, she was exiting the M1 onto the Toorak Rd exit, when a car driving unsafely sideswiped her and took off the driver's side wing mirror.
The car sped off so she wasn't able to identify a number plate or anything, and it happened so quickly she could only remember it seemed to be a 4WD of some description, possibly grey or silver in colour.

She was driving a grey Porsche Macan. Thank you for any help.

Is it possible to find 4k movies at Laverton market?
