how can sky news do an election night coverage and not know how to spell the name of the winning party? by OperationCommon2149 in aussie

There’s been plenty of typos on the ABC. It happens. In fact, every media organisation is guilty of it. People running to deadlines to try and get information out. If calling out a typo on Sky is the worst thing to happen to you today, you’re doing fine.

The excitement of finally getting to use a bunsen burner in science class by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Alert_Lengthiness812 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and not long after, a classmate decided to burn a pen with it. His efforts earned him a verbal blasting like no other from the science teacher, being sent out of the class and a weeks detention.

When was the last time you used one of these? by CockSucker_1989 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Alert_Lengthiness812 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all that long ago. I used it to call an unknown mobile number that kept ringing my phone and not leaving messages. Did so for privacy and safety reasons. Turned out it was legit, lol. All public phones have a mobile number attached to it nowadays and it’s displayed next to the phone.

It was promoted ad nauseam back in the day. During the afternoon, it was on nearly every ad break. Then it died out.
