14:37:00 <merlk> ne chats
14:37:00 <merlk> ?
14:44:00 <gry> ahi
14:44:00 <gry> hi
14:44:00 <gry> what's ne
14:44:00 <merlk> hello
14:44:00 <merlk> any
14:44:00 <gry> of course, chats is the place
14:44:00 <merlk> enn eeh
14:45:00 <gry> is english your first language ?
14:45:00 <merlk> mostly
14:45:00 <merlk> I started with crying and screaming, then moved onto animal grunting noises before I learnt to speak
14:45:00 <gry> this is good
14:46:00 <gry> sounds natural :D
14:46:00 <merlk> yep
14:47:00 <gry> are you in Sydney too
14:47:00 <merlk> nup
14:47:00 <merlk> imma westie
14:47:00 <gry> so WA
14:47:00 <merlk> yer
14:47:00 <gry> not bad
14:47:00 <merlk> nice weather today
14:48:00 <gry> there was a news about some kidnapping in WA
14:48:00 <gry> police and citizens eventually found a lost boy
14:48:00 <merlk> yer, crime is a bit of a problem
14:48:00 <gry> i don't read news a lot, it was the last news piece in WA that i remember
14:49:00 <merlk> well, google "Western Australian Newspaper" and there'll be more
14:49:00 <merlk> I check the smh.com.au sometimes
14:50:00 <gry> we used to have some newspaper delivered to door
14:50:00 <gry> now it's sold at news agency only, not so many people buy it
14:51:00 <merlk> yer, some ppl get a bit itsy about the difference between websites and print
14:51:00 <merlk> mostly though its just the headlines for most
14:52:00 <merlk> I guess for people who really need to know everything they should buy the paper
14:52:00 <merlk> but for most a website and tv would be ok
14:53:00 <gry> https://thewest.com.au/business/cnbc/tesla-co-founder-says-ev-sales-are-about-to-take-off-but-questions-whether-production-can-keep-up-c-5289569

14:55:00 <merlk> electric cars may be the answer for city livin'
14:56:00 <merlk> the train runs through my neighbourhood, so easy
14:56:00 <merlk> plus most ppl walk
14:56:00 <gry> i like to go by bicycle
14:56:00 <merlk> heaps of ppl come through on bikes and e-ridables
14:58:00 <merlk> quite a bit I walk to the shop
14:58:00 <merlk> but a bike would be good for exercise
14:58:00 <merlk> if I go any other place, its traino
15:00:00 <merlk> I have a cheap train fare outside of peak hours... so I don't cram in and I can get where I need when everyone else is busy
15:01:00 <gry> right
15:01:00 <gry> i live in eastern sydney, shops are walking/cycling distance
15:01:00 <gry> i rent a car sometimes to go to one day or two day trips somewhere in the bush
15:02:00 <merlk> nice
15:03:00 <merlk> I'd get a bike, but I wear long pants mostly so the cuff would get caught in the gears
15:03:00 <gry> i have long pants too
15:03:00 <merlk> something to think about i guess
15:03:00 <gry> it doesn't get caught, because it's narrow pants. if yours is wide, you can just put on a thing that makes them tighter at the end - a peg or a band
15:03:00 <merlk> mebe
15:04:00 <merlk> sometimes I just walk to the train station and catch it into the city to buy smokes, hang around an leave
15:04:00 <merlk> if I need to carry something I take a bag
15:06:00 <merlk> the city centres been hammered by redevelopers who never get more than a start, so its a mess
15:07:00 <merlk> but still fun, most of the main stores still open
15:08:00 <merlk> so, whats cool in music?
