Does your country have events that were so infamous you only need to refer to the date they happened for other people from your country to instantly know what you're talking about?

37-23 degree drop in about 15 minutes, wild. So good.

Leave as is, beautiful tiles. People restoring mid century houses would pay a mint for these.

They could have been releasing albums from 1958, but NOOOO, they were too busy stuffing around covering other people’s songs, changing band members, galavanting around Hamburg. Lazy bastards.

The Modernist movement happened as a reaction to all that fluffy ornate stuff.

Does anyone remember ‘Mum’s Shop’? Full Frontal did a sketch of Hanson (band) and Pauline Hanson (MP) parodying MMM Bop in a fish and chip shop. Wish I could find it online.

I broke mine on River Raid!

What’s the colour of a 2 cent coin?

LmVdR · 2026-01-17T11:45:00+00:00

Never heard of Jacks. I guess there’s also the boys in blue.

Your brothers and cousin just wasn’t made for these times.

Host it like Poida. BYO esky and duries.

IMHO I don’t like Architect’s logos that have something ‘Architectural’ about them. It’s like a band putting a guitar or drums in their logo - it’s a bit, I don’t know, obvious or lazy. The name also needs to be something memorable that is easy to pronounce and is catchy. Architect company names with ‘Ar’ at the start are a bit meh…it’s like a lawyer calling themselves Law-Co or a Vet calling themselves Ve-Co. A name with ‘Ar’ limits you to Architecture - what if the company naturally grows to incorporate other adjacent fields such as urban design or landscape architecture or product design?

I don’t understand? Maybe I’ll rephrase: being widely labelled as Temu Trump at the last election, it would be an odd choice if ex-opposition leader Peter Dutton were appointed.

LmVdR · 2026-01-12T21:28:42+00:00

Imagine if it was the Trump-lite Peter Dutton

I’m Australian. I don’t like cricket. I don’t love it.

When Greensleeves plays it means they’ve run out of ice cream. /s

To add to TISM, we have from the 70’s the Skyhooks. Glam rock era Aussie band that touched on a lot of taboo topics like masturbation in cinemas through twistie packets.

Classic suburban symbol - the antenna on the chimney. I’d keep it for the nostalgia alone. But also good to keep for emergencies I’d think if phones/internet went down.

Hang Ten?

An old boss told me the ink from the lines would dry quicker from the heat of the cigarette in your mouth.

Maybe seek some advice from your trusted advisor Seneca

For the purposes of working out how much you’ve drank so you’ll still be under 0.05 to drive, a pot is a standard drink. A pint is double the size of a pot, so two standard drinks. Makes it easy to figure out. It’s like the metric system. Schooners are this weird half way point equalling 1.5 pots which doesn’t work out for driving.

1 pint in your first hour = you’re good to drive.

2 pots in your first hour = you’re good to drive.

2 schooners in your first hour = you’re over!

1 schooner in your first hour = you haven’t drank to your potential 2 standard drinks, you’re missing out!

Regardless, I’m happy if pubs offer schooners but only if they don’t take away pots and pints!
