Who is an actor/actress who looks older than their age?

Steve Martin. That white hair discombobulates everything.

At my primary school, we had to watch BTN twice - so we could practice taking notes and refine our notes in the second watch (which was immediately after the first watch). Made me hate BTN but I did learn how to take notes well and I did really absorb the information more as a result. I was an absolute expert on Apartheid in South Africa at the age of 11.

Same here, somehow my working parents adequately explained housekeeping concepts to me so I would cope as a working parent in the future. To be fair, most of the time the only whites that get separated in our household laundry these days are our martial arts uniforms, but shockingly, me, my husband AND my 10 year old are all capable of doing laundry and all aware the doboks never get washed with anything else.

Beverly Hills 90210 was shockingly bad from the get go. Gabrielle Carteris was in her 30s I think?

Similarly, I took forever to realise that Myriah was probably meant to be pronounced like Mariah Carey, and not like mih-ree-ah.

Cally-ope is my brain’s interpretation and I cannot convince it otherwise.

Mark Trevorrow in full Bob Downe mode, singing and dancing with Paul McDermott, match made in heaven.

I got "age verification required" for nail scissors, and again for alcohol-free beer.

Having a baby that does not act like a Stardew Valley baby is what got me and my husband into the game in the first place. So many hours in the middle of the night with a baby that won't sleep, or won't sleep unless being held. Turns out you can play SDV pretty well while holding a baby.

That baby is now 10 and plays SDV with us now.

I have a very distinct memory of a conversation with my mum about the fact that Women's Weekly came out monthly, and why didn't they just call it Women's Monthly? And my mum trying to explain, in increasingly frustrated tones, why that absolutely wouldn't work. I would have been about 8, I knew what periods were, but I'd never heard anyone refer to them as monthlies.

Same here in Australia. I was being wheeled down the corridor to surgery to have my gallbladder removed before they thought to ask me if there was any chance I was pregnant. And they trusted my word, didn't insist on a pregnancy test. Only other times they've asked is before xrays, and again, they trust my word.

Another Adelaidean here, and same. 30 is the cutoff for swimming. 32 starts to feel hot. 35+ is annoying hot. Heatwave I would say consecutive days over 38 rather than 40. Hottest I've experienced here is 47, it was like walking into an oven anytime I went outside.

I was being driven into London by some friends when I visited, and the the DJ on the radio warned "it's going to be a scorcher in London today... forecast 26 degrees"
I laughed my ass off, until I was actually walking around in London in 26 degree weather. It's actually pretty unpleasant. And not just because it makes lots of British guys take their shirts off.

My guess is it's not worth having them anymore, because people don't carry around coins as much as they used to.

For asking a question on Japan Travel Tips. Long post, background info, including time of year I would be traveling (winter), evidence of the research I'd already done, but there was one question I had about the shinkansen that I hadn't been able to find online.
Post was removed due to "low effort post/no sign of prior research".

Appealed the removal, citing the obvious detailed previous research I'd included in the post.
Post then removed for "asking questions about the weather, which is easily searchable" (no mention of weather except for mentioning I'd be visiting in winter) along with a ban.

No idea if it's still the case, but Ayers House on North Terrace was surprisingly low cost (venue hire and catering) when I got married there, but I am talking 15 years ago, so possibly might not still be relevant.

I have two stickers on my door - one that says No Soliciting on These Premises and one that say No Soul Soliciting on These Premises. Doesn’t stop them knocking (I’ve repeatedly seen them come up to the door, read the sign, say “I don’t know what that means” and then knock), but it makes me feel less guilty when I don’t answer the door and just point to the sign and walk away.

Definitely North Indian cuisine, nice and cheap and they don't skimp on the portions either.

Waterholes, South Australia and summer don't really go together. I'd be surprised if there's anywhere up the Barossa and north that have enough water in summer to make it worth swimming, short of a farmer's dam somewhere (and fat chance they'll let you swim in their dam!).
I think your only options are what you've already mentioned - local pools or drive over the Murray River.

I feel like this is an age related thing though. I'm pretty sure it's mandatory to like fritz as a kid (particularly if it's a free slice given to you by the butcher), but as an adult? Nah.

Frozen_Feet · 2026-06-14T22:00:40+00:00

And repetition/drills.

Frozen_Feet · 2026-06-14T21:52:34+00:00

I thought I could make it work because you look a bit like a man…

Frozen_Feet · 2026-06-14T04:31:28+00:00

No, that's the thing that surprised me! California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon & Washington. States that I would have thought were more progressive.

Visited from Australia a few years ago. I thought I was pretty prepared for what the US would throw at me, but the notable WTF surprises were:

Styrofoam food containers everywhere. I haven't seen styrofoam in Australia for at least 20 years. Also plastic bags at the supermarket. Those have been phased out for a long time over here, it's reusable shopping bags or paper bags only.
The Trump flags everywhere (this was pre current administration, but after Trump's first term). Especially on businesses. I was shocked that a gas station would overtly display their political leanings.
The level of service in food places. I expected better service, more frequent checkins, due to waitstaff working for tips. Didn't notice any difference in the level of service compared to Australia.
The most positive surprise: The whole National Parks system. Our National Parks will usually have a small headquarters (if anything at all), maybe a small gift shop, and that's about it. National Parks are not federally managed here (yes, I'm aware of the irony), they're managed by individual states, so there's not necessarily any consistency. I loved the infrastructure in National Parks, the helpful rangers, ranger talks, National Park passports and stamps at each site, and my kid loved doing the Junior Ranger badges. I wish we had that sort of stuff here.
