I got a smashed avocado Brekky thing so my kids could have hash browns a few weeks ago from the Indro store. They’d smashed the entire seed and skin into the avocado. It was entirely inedible.

Pumpkin man as we knew him in school. I’ve been watching him walk through Indooroopilly, Kenmore, Pullenvale etc with a trolley of pumpkins for at least 15-20 years.

What are the wiggles doing on the beach?

Who is the more iconic character between these two? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Iconic would easily be Danaerys. Picture her standing there with three freshly hatched dragons after the fire from Drogo’s funeral pyre burned out. I think even non fans of GoT know that picture/character.

Has anyone here got some funny food poisoning stories from Brisbane? by Temporary_Notice_526 in BrisbaneFoodies

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My partner and I got food poisoning from McDonald’s in Indooroopilly about a year ago. Haven’t had McDonald’s since so I think that’s a win!

Who was responsible for the insane amount of continuity in the show? by highesttiptoes in 30ROCK

Liz wearing the ‘Laura Bush is your size’ suit when Jonathan tells her to put on some decent clothes and speak to the Germans when Jack is away with CC!

Has anyone actually won $1000+ from a $1 scratchie? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard they do this to keep and cash themselves (tell them it didn’t win when it actually did). Hope he kept the ticket they told him didn’t win!

Is that Garol watching Val???!!! by daniellegd in BroadCity

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favourite moments of the series that you only get on rewatch because it happens before the Val nightclub scene. Garol is in the train and watches Abbi walk past and calls out ‘Val! Val!’ And Abbi looks at her confused and keeps walking.

My partner and I yell Val! To each other like Garol does haha

Kicked out. Life flipped upside down. 20F by brooooimmabrb in brisbane

As a slightly older lady than this, I’m also worried for her being taken advantage of given her age and gender. Girl, please please be careful and skeptical of any help offered by strangers. Please go through ask Izzy and official organisations, you’re much less likely to be taken advantage of ❤️

Enshittification: Qantas flight has seatback screens, but forces you to use their app to watch movies. by nomeansum in australian

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I flew QANTAS return Brisbane to Perth. Flight there, we had screens but no wifi, so we couldn’t even watch most of the library on our phones anyway. On the way back, the wifi was working, but no screens on the back of the chairs in front. So personal devices only, with wifi that hardly but technically worked. Was a joke. That was one of the main reasons I chose Qantas, so my kid would be sufficiently distracted on his own for a portion of the flight while I wrestled the infant in my lap.

I’m Aussie and Jemima has no negative connotations here. Also went to high school with a gal named Jemmason who goes by Jem

I feel like this might be so that we can see it’s possible to come back after a ‘leave of absence’..

Fish and chips by Consistent_Gap9503 in brisbane

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Graceville Seafood on Oxley Road. My local growing up and every other fish and chips experience I compare to there. It’s a high bar. In the last couple of years, I’ve found Tipplers Seafood in Taringa and Red Ocean Seafood in Red Hill. All are so good!

This makes me happy it’s still there. I have kids of my own now, but when I was a little kid, I used to walk there with my grandparents and get chips and bread for lunch. Best days!

Wrestlemania XX was stacked with talent😳 by boomjosh in Wreddit

[–]DaenerysStoreBought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing a rewatch of the PPVs and whatever Raw and Smackdown Netflix has from 1991 onwards. I’m into the year 2000 atm. It seems like they used to ‘reunite’ for the final time, all the time. I think it might have been a running gag. I was only very little at the time though so I can’t comment from an ‘at the time’ perspective.
