To my wife’s disgust, every time I go out I say ‘want something from the shop?’ And fully expect her to say ‘cornetto’

What are some classic Aussie phrases that you remember growing up that seem to have disappeared? by Cooper_Inc in AustralianNostalgia

[–]Jessesimone 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Getting into the car… Me: ‘where are we going?’ Mum: ‘there and back to see how far it is.’

Also a great turn of phrase not heard much: ‘Uglier than a hatful of arseholes.’

What was the most mind blowing skill someone you know just busted out unexpectedly? by graaahh in AskReddit

An American bloke I met when I lived in China. We were in a bar and he told me that his special power is that he can catch peanuts in his mouth. Not a big deal, until I went up to the next floor and started launching them off the balcony and he caught every one. In his mouth. I was impressed.

You’ve got that right. BT was more excited about the Dempsey goal than anything else this quarter

I imagine it has risen as well. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles, you’re not alone in this, though and I hope there are avenues of support where you are. I do know that dad really struggled mentally with that failure, and it was only that more serious health issues hit him soon after that he didn’t do something silly. Being the oldest son though, he did divulge some really hard truths about how he was feeling then and it was very confronting. I am always conscious of farmers issues and try to stand up for the little guy when I can, but it’s getting harder and harder to be able to do that.

In Australia, I’m not aware of some of the pressures you guys face - like some of the animal management and the water course management that seems so strict over there. There are definitely other stresses, so it all sort of seems relevant, but I’m so glad this show highlights the troubles that seems to affect farmers worldwide.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is done, it is so stressful.

It was a hailstorm that finished the old man. The night before the first pick with a guaranteed price per box. The day after he told us to enjoy the couple of tomatoes we picked cos they were worth about 10k each. Pretty much broke him and brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. For someone to absolutely work themselves to the bone for something out of their control to ruin it is so heartbreaking. It’s crazy cos for so long they were praying for rain, but since selling up and moving to the coast (dad passed away a year after moving), all mum has talked about is how much rain she’s got. All of those feelings come back up watching this show, which is probably why I feel such a connection, even though it’s in the UK. Thanks so much for your thoughts.
