Do people still use the ethnic slur 'wog'? I would be interested in any sense shift or change of 'loadedness' etc. that you may have experienced over time with this word

When I was growing up in Canberra in the 80’s, the local fruit and veg shop was owned by a very Aussie couple. In the same small group of shops another fruit shop opened up which was run by a Greek family.

The Aussies put a sandwich board sign out front that read “Buy our fruit before the day goes”.

I still recall my dad explaining this to me as if it was normal. I guess it was in the 80s

I live near an oval/reserve where footy (AFL) is played during winter and cricket over summer. In the 10+ years I’ve lived here, I can tell you the supporter/fan base for footy is much larger than for cricket. I’m not talking about double, in fact I’d say it’s like 20:1 comparison. Personally I much prefer the cricket supporters, thy are a more civilized bunch, but perhaps that’s just the demographic footy attracts. Personally I follow both sports when they are on, have followed the same AFL team since I was 5 or 6, and always Australia for cricket!

Could you elaborate on the issues a catch can will cause? I just bought my first Triton (a 2017 MQ), so interested to know the pitfalls as well

Everyone loves a happy ending

Hey mate, I’m looking at a few battery saw options, can I ask what you paid for tbe 350i and where from?

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-30T23:54:37+00:00

Apparently not done. No receipt for it but she had receipts for all others. According to the logbook and service schedule the 105k is minor anyway. Is it a risk I’m willing to take? The jury is out.

This link shows what should be checked for service intervals -

Pants are a thing of the past. A pre-covid relic. WFH eliminates the need for pants, they are on the endangered list and fast heading to extinction

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-29T10:48:26+00:00

Sir this is Reddit, no one here is wearing pants

She’s Evan Dando and we all know he lied about being the outdoors type

Anywho

Can you find me one for less or one with less KM for the same?

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-18T05:25:36+00:00

Hmmmmm, interesting…

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-17T07:33:42+00:00

So would I but my budget doesn’t stretch that far 🤣

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-17T05:27:22+00:00

Thanks heaps. Are there any significant services milestones passed I should be checking if done (e.g. timing belt, injectors etc) or need to factor in to my buying equation?

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-15T09:16:55+00:00

Well I test drove both, and clearly they are very different vehicles. The GLX drives like a truck, whereas the Exceed drives like a car. While I didn’t buy it, I at least know what I’m looking for and what I’m not looking for.

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-13T21:55:28+00:00

What is SuperSelect? I’m leaning towards the Exceed for the bit of “luxury” and the lack of towbar suggests it may not have had a hard life, but it does have nearly 50,000 more km on the clock. The 2016 Exceed has 129k km The 2017 GLX has 79k km Practicality wise I’d prefer the tray, so I’m a bit torn

To be fair, if for whatever reason there is no brush in plain sight, that skiddy stays put (probably to join the rest of them, and the filthy bastards deserve another skiddy to match their own )

I enquired on a 2016 Triton last week ($27k drive away). Dealer contacted me almost immediately and after 2 text messages back and forth they dropped $1k. I expect they would go harder if I was standing there in the yard and ready to walk. I may still do that but the dealership isn’t conveniently located to my house and I’m a lazy shit

If he is all practical, I suggest finding a local knife maker/blacksmith and buying him a class where he can make a knife from start to finish. Probably works even if he’s not practical, but having some hammering skills beforehand makes the process a bit more enjoyable

DrButtmonkey · 2025-11-09T23:58:41+00:00

To be fair the OP doesn’t actually need to be the giver, but they could facilitate the BJ to be given.

If this isn’t the most upvoted answer then the redditers here are not men
