For most outdoors-people the terms camping and binge drinking are interchangeable so a couple of luxuries are needed for the next morning.

First up to take care of is the morning AGB (After Grog Bog) so a camping dunny and a toilet/shower tent is a must. Don’t fool yourself into thinking a shovel and hole in the ground is good enough, you are not a cat.

Second is some wet bum wipes for cleaning the dags off your turd cutter after dropping off your AGB.

Third is an Aeropress (and a set of scales!) for making yourself a good coffee. This easy to use hardware is well known and the internet is full of peoples favourite recipe for creating the perfect coffee:

• 18g of coffee
• 90g of water
• 90 second brew time
• flip over and press into mug (should take about 10 seconds to press down)
• add more hot water and/or a little bit of milk to your personal preference

Royale Noir was the shit

I mean it’s one car, Alec. What could it cost? Ten dollars?

That’s how it works at restaurants and cafés outside of the USA, or at least how it used to work.

Outside the USA, when the bill is paid with cash, the customer will keep any notes from the change given and the coins are left on the table, it’s not much, but a token show of appreciation.

Now that cash is rarely used, tips are pretty much never given unless it’s something unusual, like a work function or something else where the staff have a little more to concentrate on than they normally would.

I know I’m commenting from different country, but the following quote by a judge in Australia is always worth keeping in the back of your head if you manage to get let off a serious crime…

Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of coming back for his hat

That was a line said by a judge in Australia during his conclusion of a very high profile rape case.

The story,

Bruce Lehrmann faced charges of rape. This case was very big in Australia because the rape occurred in an office at Parliament House and the government covered it up because there was an election coming up.

The criminal trial was abandoned because the case was having a very detrimental effect on the victim’s mental health.

Later, Bruce Lehrmann sued a number of journalists for defamation… And lost… So now Bruce Lehrmann is forever branded a rapist. The judge delivered the above quote during his final decision.
