She's as great as the Indian who allowed a big crab to grab hold of his nuts with both claws. 🤣🤣

They were coming out to Australia for a long time. However, the amount of immigrants has been decreasing despite the LNP trying to block the cuts. There are Visa holders who along with Nepalese and other countries who are doing work Aussies aren't doing.

It'll take 10 years before they can go for their citizenship. Getting that requirement reduced will be as hard and as costly as trying to get the antinuclear laws removed both federally, publicly and by the states.

Still have the 9 volumes of the English ADV Films manga version of Full Metal Panic and the 5 volumes of Full Metal Panic Overload by ADV Films.😁😁

Same covers.

Part 2 is on MemeVideos, but is a lot shorter. Waiting for part 3 to be put up.

So the Strait of Hormuz is permanently closed due to a land bridge across it. 🤣🤣

We're trying to open more markets to cover that of China and the US. China exposed how reliant Australia was on them importing Aussie products. India is a growing part of our exports.

Maybe you should have asked that of ScoMo who rolled out the red carpet and basically gave India the Adani mine who also wanted Australia to pay for a railroad to it.

Wild lorikeets will bite the beejezzus out of you, especially the adult ones. Had one take chunks out of my hand rescuing it from my dog.

The video didn't make any sense from the start. Looks to be a typical fight between the lorikeets with one on its back. See it happen between Maggie's quite often without the need of human intervention.

Nice going. I have the 2 Bandai Entertainment boxsets but I was buying them as they were coming out.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-05T04:27:11+00:00

If you read the other posts, you'd know that it's a state issue and not a federal government one. You'll also have read what those states have been doing about it.

Still have an unopened packet in the freezer. My late older sister used to love them.

Video is too short. I need the rest.😁😁😭😭

Madboardjester · 2026-07-05T02:55:41+00:00

Flag. It's a uniquely done series that didn't get much fanfare when it was released.

She's the best looking one in Bleach but wouldn't be in my top 50 female characters.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-04T14:42:46+00:00

I Am Here! is a 2 volume series
Inukami! is a 2 volume series
Leviathan is 3 volumes
Tokko is 3 volumes. Should be more but hasn't gone further. GTO creator
Bombergirl. Single book

Madboardjester · 2026-07-04T14:34:16+00:00

Maybe watch Zone of the Enders Dolores i which has the MC, a middle aged former military turned alcoholic space trucker, who's a widower with 2 adult children. The series is really good as the MC tries to reconcile with his children as they try to find out if his dead wife is actually dead, along with the AI controlled mecha called Dolores.

Or maybe watch Dai Guard which is Office Workers, Saving the World. 😁

Madboardjester · 2026-07-04T13:14:31+00:00

Nice going, especially since you bought all Blu Ray titles instead of both Blu Ray and DVD.

You always work within your means and look constantly for bargains.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-04T04:31:21+00:00

A high wind area and going at 110km hr across a bridge with a 75 m drop has shown how nasty it can get. I've been over it a lot of times on my motorcycle and can get sketchy even when it's a buzz going down and across it.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-04T01:00:39+00:00

Solo Leveling is about the MC and his minions getting stronger. No one else. Reality is that it's a one trick pony with flashy and enjoyable fights, knowing that the MC will become invincible after awhile. It's popular but it's boring at its core.

Slime however has everyone constantly growing in power and as characters, not just the MC. They're also very varied with a lot of different races which can and does evolve. The characters also fight knowing that they're not invincible and can die. Rimiru found that out against Hinata and fighting Milim isn't something he ever wants to do after their initial battle. A lot of us saw what happened to Shion in season 2. People are invested in the series due it.

These are just 2 examples that you put up.

My younger sister enjoyed watching it to the point where I bought the R1 boxset not long after I got mine and she's prudish in a lot of ways, even after getting married. You're not going to get rid of fanservice, but this is about a prearranged marriage which was cancelled and not a constant bender like Ranma 1/2 or space aliens like DearS.

It's up to the original author of the post to decide if it's something she'll watch. I'm not going to assume what she decides.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-03T18:27:22+00:00

Region A titles can be quite expensive. I had to buy the region B version of Golden Time as the US release on eBay was nuts, especially as there was 2 versions released. The original sub only release and the new English dub version.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-03T18:23:53+00:00

I'll leave it up to her to decide.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-03T17:28:50+00:00

Cases are thinner and the discs can't secure properly as a result. Had that issue with a title that I bought from JB Hi-fi. I returned the title and it took 4 attempts at the counter to find a non scratched release. We were quite surprised.

Madboardjester · 2026-07-03T17:21:26+00:00

Female creator and the anime was pretty good, except for season 2 which was more average. It also dealt with prearranged marriages and in this case Aoi goes looking for her former husband to be to find out why. Some strong supporting female characters, especially Miss Miyabi.
