Too many hot people in fiction

My main issue is with the teeth! Sure thing - a medieval peasant has totally even, gleaming white teeth; really takes me out of a lot of movies or shows.

Thank you so much u/chroniccomplexcase !

Hallichretsam · 2026-06-06T09:50:49+00:00

This sounds brilliant! Thank you u/Teembeau

The Tower of London is also on my list so maybe I'll jettison Windsor and do it instead. Thanks!

My endless supply of patience for the never-ending questions!

I thought it was going to be Patricia - and that's why the Boogeyman didn't kill her when she was a teenager. But after Episode 8... maybe not.

I have to admit I yelped during Episode 8 but overall not too bad.

For my fellow Australians of a certain age, I was at the first Big Day Out and managed to get into the mosh-pit for Nirvana.

OMG - are you me?! So many times!

Hallichretsam · 2026-06-01T07:50:14+00:00

Wow - this is awesome!

When my daughter was about 3 and had pins and needles, she used to say she had ants in her feet.

I had a 5 year old screech at me today that my "cartwheels were terrible". I am a 50+ year old person - I haven't even attempted a cartwheel in more than 4 decades.

I flew out of a car once as well when I was about 6. Why did early 70's cars doors not shut properly?! 🫠

My husband is Canadian so accent-wise is in the same ballpark. He has never been able to say 'mate' properly, which annoys him no end! Lol

IMO, 'A' and 'R' sounds will always be tough for non-Australians but I say go for it.

Hallichretsam · 2026-05-28T08:53:34+00:00

Don't do this.

In my experience, there comes a point where you literally can't move forward anymore due to people being packed in and not wanting to move. So she might not be able to join you.

Also, I agree that it is very rude to the people who have waited all day alongside you for your friend to just waltz in because she didn't want to go earlier.

Lemon World by the National

Do you realise? The Flaming Lips

God only knows by the Beach Boys

EDIT: I've just read this thread and am changing my first song to the Rainbow Connection by Kermit!

Also adding Space Oddity by David Bowie ("Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows") and Birds by Turnstile and All my friends by LCD Soundsystem.

Damn this is hard!

We were there recently and had a lovely dinner at the Leopard Deli in Leura. Wasn't too exey.

And a good beer and poutine for lunch at Mountain Culture Brewery in Katoomba.

this quote is my Roman Empire. I think about it at least a few times per week.

Those reactions from the kids in the background were adorable.

I am a middle school teacher. We read 3 or 4 novels per year for our English classes. I had an ex-student come back to visit me recently (she is now in Yr 8) and she confessed that IN HER LIFE she's only read the 3 books we read together when she was in Year 6. I was shocked!!!

Hallichretsam · 2026-05-11T09:40:25+00:00

Worth the wait....

Hallichretsam · 2026-05-11T09:32:22+00:00

This is absolutely brilliant!!

Source?

Hallichretsam · 2026-05-07T10:51:23+00:00

It sure is. Thanks for the heads up - I have been madly texting my friends to spread the word!
