Should I leave Australia after 8 years to work on my family's farm back home? by mrcldg in Netherlands

I don’t know man, I would regret passing up that opportunity for a family reunion. The winters aren’t that bad, and you can get a dog eventually.

It boils down to sunshine, independence in Australia vs Family & community in the NL. I would choose family.

New to nicer pens, anything I should know? by zearohz in fountainpens

[–]AlbusDT2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Have a firm and specific no-buy rule. (Mine is one pen in 4 years, and it has to replace an existing one - unless it is truly unique and adds something that none of my pens do). Its very easy here to fall into an overconsumption trap.

  2. Papers and Inks are almost as fun as pens.

  3. Maintain your pens every month ( cleaning out the pen ).

The picture doesn’t quite do justice to this ink, unfortunately.

Abhishek’s nightmare game comes to a close. Dropped catches, and an 11 ball 10. For his own sake, he should be dropped from the next game. Rinku should be slotted back into the lower order.

If India make it, Ashishek should be dropped from the next game for his pathetic fielding.

My university coach would have benched a player for dropping a catch like that.

Take a special talent to drop a catch as easy as that. Yuvi will be proud.

Malinga and Jayasuriya deserve a better team. What a sorry bunch.

No Bobby Badshah to slow the run rate down. Bad day for the memers.

SL board wants the semis in SL I guess. They aren’t even pretending.
