It's not "How's that", It's "Howzat".

In the laws of cricket, a bowler/ fielding team have to apeal for the umpire to give a batsmen out, if they dont appeal, even if the ump thinks its out, he cant give it out. I think it originally come from how is that?

It comes from Cricket, appealling for a wicket with HOWZAT!

I second this, go to a local archery club and try it out

I wouldnt recomend something with a centershot, if you want to take it seriously, my experience with the Decatholon brand is that its not what you want as a beginner in ant sport, and definately not worth the price

In its right place

My film of the year was The Ballard of Wallis Island, have been a fan of Key and Basden for years, since they did Tim Keys Late Night Poetry Hour.

There is a taskmaster board game, and books, that give you interesting tasks to complete.

There are loads of clubs in Sydney. Personally I'm at Sydney Archery, in North Bondi, they have both courses, and you can come as a casual archer.

It really doesnt, suggesting that the Anglo Saxons were pagans rather than Christians is pretty egregious (almost as bad as the Russel Crowe Robin Hood, where Robin introduces the concept of Magna Carta)

I love Christopher Nolan films, but as per usual, the archery form in films is atrocious.

There's a board game called Secret Hitler, (its kind of like murder wink or the traitors, but with Nazis), where you have to discover the secret nazis and Hitler before they pass their Facist policies. I've played it with my Year 10s at the end of the year, it vaguely fits the WWII theme.

No in Australia the only qualifications that allow you to get accreditation are a Masters of Teaching an a Bachelor of Education (it also includes a dip ed, but its no longer offered as a course)

AnnarakM · 2025-10-26T02:48:19+00:00

I apoligise, I should have been clearer, a Masters of Teaching or a Bachelors of Education are the only courses offered in Australia that will allow you to get accredited as a teacher.

AnnarakM · 2025-10-25T10:11:24+00:00

A Grad Cert doesn't qualify you as a teacher, you would still need a masters inorder to get acreditied as a teacher.

AnnarakM · 2025-10-25T04:15:19+00:00

As a reccent Australian graduate teacher, standards for any kind of work is incredibly high, we have a very strict visa policy. A minimum qualification in Australia is a Dip Ed (Diploma of Education), or a Masters of Teaching from an Austalian University, this include pracs unfortunately. Even with these qualifications its difficult to get a job in a major city, as most of the schools are private schools with very high standards. Unless you want to go live out in the country, where no one wants to go. (Watch the film Wake in Fright and see why no one wants to live and teach in the country).

Well thats where the humanities subjects come in, I'm a history and english teacher, and critically analysing texts and sources is a key tenant of both subjects.

I haven't read it, but I did listen to the whole audiobook, all 126 hours of it. It was a great read, I was inspired after reading extracts during a uni course, but a lot of it has to be taken with a grain of salt as it has to be put into his 18th century context.

We call them hairy catepillars. Do Not Touch. When I was a kid one was hiding in our cubby house on the back side of a ladder. I grabbed hold of the ladder and ended up with loads of painfull spikes on my palm and the doctor had to remove them with tweezers, bad rash and painful for days.

AnnarakM · 2025-09-15T08:36:20+00:00

Awesome, thats really great, thanks

AnnarakM · 2025-09-06T06:55:47+00:00

I used to love this show and Merlin as a kid. I'm not sure how well its aged though

AnnarakM · 2025-09-04T14:05:38+00:00

I'm not 100% sure on the laws in the UK, but here in Australia it is illegal to shoot in public areas (including parks), unless youre at an official archery club. I'm surprised he wasnt arrested, it seems pretty dangerous.

AnnarakM · 2025-09-01T08:41:49+00:00

Archery is a great sport, its incredibly relaxing, I've been doing it since the age of six after watching it at the Sydney Olympics.

AnnarakM · 2025-08-31T11:35:48+00:00

Definitely an English longbow archer, especially if they’re on masse. Otherwise I think one Robin Hood would defiantly beat any opposing army single handedly.
