@JeremyCherfas Wear thongs & Stubbies, you can carry a stubby beer bottle in the back pocket of your Stubbies.

@matigo There’s long-necks (750 ml beer bottles) and the original stubby was the half-sized 375 ml bottle that resembled a rugby player - virtually no neck. That stubby lives on as the choice bottkle size/style for the Bundaberg brewed soft drink range.
What’s now sold as a stubby beer bottle is really a mid-neck length 375 ml bottle.

@variablepulserate You can wear stubbies. They are men’s shorts with stubby - short or minimal length leg sections. http://aussieblokesclothes.com.au/product/stubbies-original-cotton-drill-short/

Up until about 20 years ago I had a really handy circular slide rule, about 4 inches in diameter, slipped neatly into my trousers back pocket & had a chart of handy conversions on the back. I lost it in a residential move.

@jws Four years after I started High School slide-rules were compulsory & electronic calculators were optional but recommended. My older sister & myself had “advanced” GE ones with LCD displays, most everyone else used ones with red LEDs.

I may never use it, but it was a bargain: I found a USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet adaptor in a clearance box in the local big hardwarew chain store, cost all of $2.
@hazardwarning I thought I had a cold/cough problem. But it was pneumonia, which caused sepsis, which brought on low blood pressure, cold clammy skin, dizziness, difficulty to find a pulse and acute kidney failure.
Kidneys have recovered: treatment for sepsis was rapid IV fluids & antibiotics. this worked & blood pressure stabilised to normal levels.
I just skipped permanent kidney damage and possible death.
It really was that close, sepsis is a right bastard.
Take care, please. I didn’t & it could have cost me dearly.
