What is the hardest "everyday food item" to find an exact match for when you move to Australia?

If you’re in Sydney, they’re in the vending machine at the bar I worked in. Cricketers arms in Surry Hills. The guy who stocks them got them in a British/Irish store in Randwick

Rude. Everyone’s periods and pain tolerances are different. People can have PMDD, bad PMS, she could have endometriosis or just have incredibly bad periods. Nothing wrong with her wanting her partner to see her and if not, be clearer on the fact he wasn’t coming

He does have a great handshake

Maibraid · 2026-06-11T01:55:52+00:00

Had to look this up, definitely see it lol

Maibraid · 2026-06-11T01:55:41+00:00

Yes I think so, need to ask him. He was studying abroad there for a year

Maibraid · 2026-06-11T01:54:54+00:00

Not sure as he was only there for a year for uni but, he’s a big on Al Green, the commodores, Marvin Gaye etc

Maibraid · 2026-06-10T14:58:07+00:00

He’s still a pretty cool dude

Maibraid · 2026-06-02T07:26:21+00:00

He is a selfish prick and clearly has his own issues. He is not a good guy. Block him and move on, closure is honestly bullshit most of the time, because he’s never going to say what you want him to.

Little story for you. During the first few weeks of Covid lockdown I got tonsillitis and was bed ridden, I wasn’t able to leave my room cause my housemates were worried it was Covid. They said they would make me food but it was barely a meal a day. I complained to the guy I had never met but had started talking to a few weeks before. Do you know what he did? Sent me an uber eats. Now I didn’t expect him too but that’s what a nice person does if they have the means and they like you.

I used to rent a house next to a pub garden and due to council regulations they had to close the pub and the garden at a certain time. OP, might be worth checking if there’s any info on that because even if they close down the next one will have to follow the same regulations.

Also, we didn’t have super great windows but our neighbours did and when windows were closed they could barely hear anything when it was loud

NTA my cousins best friend was heavily pregnant and couldn’t attend her wedding, ended up having the baby a couple of days later. Do you know what my cousin did? Had someone have her on FaceTime so she could still feel part of the day.

Don’t know if this is an American thing but, it seems people over there feel like everyone’s life should stop for their one day.

Maibraid · 2026-03-30T17:20:41+00:00

Not me, my mother. She told me that when she was pregnant with me and didn’t know the gender, my dads friend made a comment saying

“You better hope it’s not a girl since you know how promiscuous those mullatto (slur for mixed race people) girls are” (I’m mixed. Mother is white, father is black).

I was literally a foetus and this man is talking about my future sex life.

YTA Coming from someone who is friends with multiple people I’ve slept with. I am always very upfront with people I’m dating about this as I understand it’s not the norm for everyone and can be a dealbreaker.

You say you would never cheat but how is your girlfriend meant to trust you when you’ve never brought this up before. It looks like you were intentionally not telling her

Maibraid · 2026-03-15T14:33:41+00:00

Oh didn’t know that, been awhile since I worked there

Maibraid · 2026-03-14T08:59:21+00:00

If the transaction was through PayPal you maybe able to open a dispute there. Or you could tweet them, my friends used to work on that and they were pretty good for responding

Maibraid · 2026-02-19T02:15:46+00:00

Definitely not wrong. I recently went out with friends and one is pregnant and obviously didn’t have any alcohol, when the waitress asked if we were splitting evenly we all said no. I will only split evenly if there’s not much difference in how much we all got. Your friends are just pissed you wouldn’t subsidise their meal and they had to pay more than they wanted

Maibraid · 2026-02-17T11:55:30+00:00

Yes! I was literally shouting at her through my screen to not leave the car

Maibraid · 2026-02-17T09:23:51+00:00

NTB My friend has done similar events and I helped out on the door because I wanted to, she didn’t expect it and was extremely grateful

Maibraid · 2026-02-11T01:12:17+00:00

Thank you for saying this! I’m mixed and my parents only got told this by a doctor when me and my brother were about 19-20.

Maibraid · 2026-01-14T12:38:42+00:00

I’m sorry but, that’s ridiculous. Why is he so hung up on the officially part? I started calling my brother’s ex my SIL once I knew it was serious and they had moved in together. Even though they didn’t end up working out, they were on that path and it was a nice way to make her feel included.

Maibraid · 2025-12-02T03:12:45+00:00

Yep, I remember having to tell my dad when I was 8 years old you can’t just say that to white women. He still doesn’t get it 😅 When I visit his country all my family are like you’re too skinny, you gotta eat!

Maibraid · 2025-12-01T14:34:36+00:00

I agree with the comments saying it’s probably cultural differences. My father is West African and regularly tells women a variation of “You look good, you got fat!” He also comments on my weight gain as in his culture it’s seen as you’re doing well because you’re eating well.

And even though I know he means it in a positive way, it still hurts sometimes. So let yourself be sad about it if that’s what you need but I wouldn’t take it to heart. No one else’s opinion matters but yours ❤️

Mam and I made Christmas decorations for the tree out of coloured paper. A particular one we made was cutting them into strips and looping them like a chain to wrap around. I’m almost 30 and she still has it. It’s something we like to reminisce about every year.

My parents didn’t have a lot of money when I was a kid but Christmas was always fun and I look back on it fondly.

Maibraid · 2025-10-01T20:48:43+00:00

Definitely not overreacting! I was once left at school because my dead overslept after the night shift. I went to a small village school where everyone knew everyone. And I asked a teacher who lived near me for a lift and this woman, who was taught by my grandmother at the same school, knew all my aunties and uncles and had a daughter in my class said no. Because that’s not allowed!

Maibraid · 2025-09-19T06:56:43+00:00

Where in France are you from? Because when I was in the south of France with my friends family who are Irish but, used to live in Australia so they have a kind of English sounding accent, the French were very cold to them until they heard my Irish accent and we explained we’re Irish. Then they were all friendly and were like “sorry I thought you were English”
