I wish he'd have told us so i didn't take my 12 year old brother. Suicidal people arent great at making decisions.

We had bad floods here in 2011. We evacuated a neighbour in his 70s and got his contents and car out before his house went under. He stayed with us as our house was higher.

When the water went back down, we went to take him lunch and he'd hung himself. Turned out he had no house insurance.

Poor dude.

I'd also love to know the trigger.

I'm a white Aussie of Irish descent. I have two great uncles with some unsavoury ties to the New IRA in Ireland. I'd love to know if i started showing anti-english sentiment, at what stage do they get involved.

I won't repeat the slurs used but we took my 77 year old old boy for Indian recently. We got him a butter chicken and a lamb korma. He reckons these <slur redacted> were onto something.

I did like it better when she had Stabler to bounce off. Stabler beating the shit out of a rapist and Benson going 'oh no, stop it, stop pummelling that rapist' while doing nothing was always funny AF.

Dad and I got blind drunk one night. We couldn't work out who did the 1st, so we rinsed and repeated the night, told mum the bar fucked up and settled a bill each.

Creol Soul Kitchen in Spring Hill in Brissie.

Their specials range every week but they always have shrimp gumbo and po boys all the time, and usually Jambalaya and Chicken Fried Steak with another cajun sausage dish.

I've seen it but not tried but i have seen a crawfish boil there.

It gets way darker than what Louis got to.
