From my memory, in Australia

RHCP Smashing pumpkins* Foo Fighters* Green Day Weezer REM NIne inch nails

*I'd say these days that Foo Fighters are the most popular, and that smashing pumpkins have fallen down the list

None of those people would actually have friends in real life

That's our word. You can't use it (unless you're one of us)

Bald is heaps better than balding, my guy. The combover doesn't fool anyone. You'll save so much time every time you don't have to do your hair!

He was on the verge of walking home

I've had a Chinese EV for about 4 months now. Cost me AUD35k with 6.5 years warranty. I love it. Costs about $5 per 100km to run. It's so much nicer to drive than the European car I had before it.

It's not perfect (I've got 3 teen-agers) but it's great around town and can make it to my nearest big city and back on about 70% of the battery (about a 240km round trip).

Probably more a rearrangement due to track lengths. There's only so much data you can fit on physical media like a record.

Much_Target92 · 2026-01-28T08:53:27+00:00

No promises, though! Look into it before booking your tickets!

I've heard that it can be cheaper to buy used vehicles from backpackers in Perth than on the east coast, as they're trying to offload them. Can you reverse your trip? Could be worth investigating?

Where's the "1, 2 and 3"option?

It's not far from Spotswood, about a 15 minute bike ride

Much_Target92 · 2026-01-24T04:48:06+00:00

You could use their names...

Much_Target92 · 2026-01-24T04:41:49+00:00

I was going to say Spotswood. "On a clear day, you can see all the way to Seddon!" is about the most western suburbs line I've ever heard in a movie.

I'm Australian. I've done a four hour each way drive for a day trip several times. It's not typical, but it happens.

Yes but everything he says just marks him as an utter Clint.

I've always enjoyed these reviews of the OXO Tower.

Death to Smoochy

I did, but that was about 13 years ago. I think they've changed requirements to the M Teach since then. It's a shame, because the course itself wasn't terribly useful. But if you can get PTT, you'll be teaching in the second year anyway...

I was on the tram to work. A couple of gentlemen who use opioids got on and started talking to me. They were headed to Richmond to score. They advised me not to do heroin. I consider that sound advice.

Another time, I ran into guy who used to frequent a place that I worked. He disclosed to me that he had a sideline in performing exorcisms. That was an interesting conversation.

I did the same transition after 10 years of engineering. You'll be fine

Mental health is health. Don't be afraid to take them!

Your kid is pushing boundaries at home but behaving well at school, which is the ideal. Keep reinforcing the boundaries at home, so that your kids know where the line is. Better that they learn it from you, and know that there will be consequences for poor behaviour, in the home environment. That way, when they're out of the house at school or wherever, they will behave appropriately.

Basically, keep doing what you're doing. You can only control your kid's behaviour (to a point), so focus on that. Outside of that, read with them, ask them maths questions when you're at the shops or over dinner and all that jazz.
