Jeez, you'd think they'd put a clear window for the poor bugger inside it.

If they're dromedaries, do they hump twice as much?

This and Rec Flying are my only social media.

Apart from Jack Reacher.

This is beaten up by the RWNJ press as they know a good dog whistle when they see one. Just like any vocal minority there's probably only a very few indigenous people who make sovereignty demands, but the merde-och press and their cronies play it up to scare the gullible that they're comin' for your land.

Unique Australian sayings and (sometimes) Rhyming Slang

Plus new words - or at least new meanings of words - are coming into the vocabulary all the time. A few examples (mostly from my kids) Noob Gaslighted Pwned NPC ("non player character" - someone considered unimportant or irrelevant) spawned / despawned -

Not sure if this was just limited to our family, but when leaving a door open "Were you born in a tent with the flap open??" -
I believe there are exceptions for valid historical discussion etc so you won't get into trouble for showing aircraft or ships with the symbol on them. (Caveat emptor, there). More importantly, our entire karate class could get in the shit if anyone saw us practicing ridge hand strikes.

You can always make your own bread with just flour, water and salt. You can drink your own rainwater without fluoride. If you feel so strongly about these things there's always ways to opt out. But if it's better overall for the health of the population then there's no point railing against it.

I've made my request, they can send me into the incinerator to the strains of "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. Played LOUD.

You're right Nev! I've NEVER had jail sex.

School times are not uniform (pardon the pun). My kid's high school rings the bell at 2:40, and the primary school 2:55 (but 2:45 for some buses). So I guess it makes sense to have a time range from say 2:30 to 4:00 to cover all bases plus some after school activities - as long as it's well signposted. Having said that I agree it's a dog act to turn the cameras on before kids actually go back to school.

Not in the jail showers, I've heard.

Not being sacked is better still!

Trump hasn't been in any movies either, probably apart from a few "home videos". (And yes I know he had some dodgy reality tv show.) However he got a mention in Die Hard 3, where a female cop, attempting to put across the concept of something extremely unlikely but desirable, says "Yeah - and I'm gonna marry Donald Trump!" Makes you laugh these days.

I agree there's a lot to be proud of in this country. I don't agree that this needs to be represented by a flag. I love Australia, but I couldn't give 2 shits about the flag. I kind of think people who go to great lengths to fly/wear/drive it are a bit overzealous.

Here's one. But "beach" has an "a".

He's in the wrong sport. If he was into marathons, the crowd could be singing "Oh Sinner, man, where you gonna run to??"

She gets around a bit. I remember seeing a faux gravestone in Kryal Castle, Victoria, over 30 years ago. It had the inscription something like: "Here lie the remains of Mary Charlotte Born a virgin, died a harlot For 17 years she kept her virginity Which is almost a record in this vicinity"
-
Bruce, you've mentioned your opposition to this walking ban before. Can I asked how many times you climbed Uluru or the Grampians in the last 10 years?
-
Really? they sometimes throw up on ours.
-
That game stinks.
-
That depends on your perspective - I don't think we've got too many! But I do agree we don't need to have a public holiday "for" anything, just have the damn holiday. And they're scattered unevenly, most near the beginning of the year and bugger all later on. Maybe we should have a public holiday on say the first Monday or Friday of each month.

How does oil get "smoke damaged"? I'm assuming it was in a container impervious to smoke? There was a carpet warehouse down here in Hobart which had very loud ads for years, with enthusiastic middle-eastern salesmen urging people to get the incredible bargains on these unique, valuable Turkish rugs which were only being sold cheaply as it was a closing down sale. Similar to stories above, it took them at least a decade to close.

They're wurth it then?
