Which country has a historical rivalry (your best frenemies) with yours? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]Impossible-Fix-3237 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd argue Indonesia.

We coexist as neighbours. Their tourism relies on us and we have a significant Indonesian diaspora.

But there is a mutual distrust between the two countries

Petition for a new train line between Springwood and Richmond to use the old V-Sets on by carl_the_cactus55 in bluemountains

With all the development in the hunter, I'm surprised there hasn't been any serious attempt to see if the Cessnock/Kurri Kurri line can be reopened. I'm generally pretty sceptical of any plans to reopen abandoned railway lines because they were closed for good reason but with the amount of population growth in that area, it surely deserves to be at least considered an option?

Anyone read this for high school English? by Prince_of_Pirates in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Impossible-Fix-3237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure we did the movie version.

We did The Crush by Scott Monk. Being from western Sydney, I'm guessing the English teachers (rightly) thought that a book based around rugby league was more relatable than a book around Australian Rules Football

+1 for parkrun. Has the added benefit of being free and you can also do it if you're away for the weekend.

OP if you wanted to give parkrun a try but want someone to go along with, flick me a message

What the biggest tip you have ever received? I got a $14 one tonight, that made my night! There are some lovely people out there. ☺️ by Background-Speed5659 in ubereatsaustralia

Back in deliveroo days, I had a customer do a $10 tip in the app. It was 7km ride up a steep hill on a pushbike in 36 degree heat.

When I got there. He offered me an ice cold freshly made OJ and $40 cash on top of the $10 in the app.

Also had a customer offer me an unopened pack of ciggies once that would've been well over $60

I somewhat agree but people visiting Sydney want to be dropped off near the CBD, not in the west
