facthunter Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Well "there you go" is dismissive. You don't say A lot of people say "CORRECT" instead of yes... If you say I was dropped on my head when I was a baby and they say. "Well THAT explains a lot of things", It's not a compliment Nev
red750 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 You never say YES on the phone, unless you know who you are talking to. Ring, ring. "Hello?" "Can you hear me?" "I hear you" "Can you hear me? Just say YES." "Who is this?" Hangs up. They want to record your voice saying YES so they can use it to say you agreed to whatever they were doing/selling. 2 2
old man emu Posted June 12 Posted June 12 I abhor "not on my watch". It might be OK for a person who served in the US Navy, but not for people who didn't. 2 1
old man emu Posted June 12 Posted June 12 What about "go and"? "I am going to go and get a beer", or "I am going to go to get a beer".

spacesailor Posted June 12 Posted June 12 " if you've got to go & get " If you have to go ! .go first , before another beer . Or it maybe too late & you pee yourself . LoL spacesailor 1

facthunter Posted June 13 Posted June 13 It's the RANDOM Thought thread. Not much thought. but it's very random.. Nev 1 1
old man emu Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Remember when you were able to impress a girl by taking her to the pictures and afterwards to a milk bar for a banana split? 1
Litespeed Posted June 13 Posted June 13 I do remember the Paragon in Goulburn and in Katoomba. The epitome of cafe milk bar culture, not just icecream or splits but hand made chocolates to salivate on. A visit to the Paragon was very seductive.
old man emu Posted June 13 Posted June 13 The Paragon in Goulburn is still going strong. I had lunch there last month. It has changed hands a couple of times, and now is more upmarket than Nick the Greek's cafe it was in the 1980s. You still can't jump over the servings they provide. 1
facthunter Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I suppose you thought your lady was a paragon of virtue. If you dine regularly at those places she will be more for comfort than speed.. Not exactly places for a health fanatic. Sgd an ex pie Eater. Not just an eater . A Connosseur Goulburn. had a great Pie shop. Nev 1

Jerry_Atrick Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Here's my random thoughtts.. 1. Whereis Onetrack? Is he still moving out of his warehouse? 2. Has anyone heard of or from @Old Koreelah latelly (been meaning to post this question for a while)?
old man emu Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Old Koreelah said that he was taking a step back because he was copping some flak from somewhere. Hopefully he's simply hovering in the background. 1 1
old man emu Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Back to randomness. I've been eating Jatz crackers since before Robert Menzies "did but see her passing by". Tonight as I opened a fresh box to have with some cheese and wine - the Jatz, not the box - I saw that the composition details and allergy warning were written in French. The information occupied the whole of one halves of the top flap. The version in English shared the side panel with the nutrition information and manufacturer's contact details. Even the weight details had that skinny "e" that seems to be needed by the European Union. The labelling claims "at least 80% Australian ingredients" but does that tell us where these are actually made? The flour could be Australian, but where are the ovens?
willedoo Posted June 14 Posted June 14 You have to watch the French. They'll be after our vegemite next. 1
old man emu Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I wonder if "Jatz" and "SAO" could get that special name protection that the EU has given to words like "champagne".
facthunter Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Champagne is the region where it's grown. and it IS the best. There's also a town called Condom but they aren't for growing things. Nev 1 1
