Wheres the best HSP in the city? Kebabs at Lonsdale was ok but wouldnt rave about it.
I think either CBD Kebabs or Flinders Kebabs near the aquarium were highly regarded in the Melbourne HSP Facebook group when I was on Facebook years ago

Movie Review. Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror. 1942. Youtube.
A blatant WWII propaganda movie, adapted from the WWI propaganda Sherlock Holmes short story.
The purpose of the movie is to tell the working poor and underclasses of Britain why they should support the government in the war against Germany even tho the working poor and underclass are abused and exploited by the British capitalist class.
The reasons given were culture, we are also defending working class culture, Justice, the British justice system is worth defending against fascism, Home, London and by extension the rest of Britain is home to all. IMO these were good and true reasons.
The working class did support the war effort and as a reward they were given the National Health Service and social housing.
America made a similarly motivated WWII propaganda movie called "The Negro Soldier" by Frank Capra.
The reward was the Civil Rights Act.
The working classes had "Why We Fight" and the reward was the GI Bill and School Lunches.
Australia and India et al, being colonies, needed no reason to fight and were given no rewards.
frost pretty
14° downstairs at 645 this morning. Thermometer is nears the front door so probably the coldest place in the house. Not too bad all things considering.
7° here ❄️
17 inside when I left the house at 6am, not too shabby.
Of course walking outside into the -2 degree morning was a wake up call...

14's pretty good! it was 7 in my place at 6:30.
Yikes!
Since putting in hybrid flooring over our old tiles, indoor temp downstairs has gone up about 5 ° in the winter.
Best investment ever
yeah I'm tipping my hybrid flooring helped a lot over the previous "lets glue vinyl flooring direct to the slab" solution implemented by the builders. Our problem is draughts. The seals on the windows are rooted, the windows are single glaze and cheap and the back door has a gap big enough to stick a finger through.
Not really problems 80% of the year though so bit hard to throw any serious money at it all.
