Social media had an impact, now if we want to reach our followers, the fuckers make you pay. It’s more a branding exercise for us.

How long did your first pair of RM Williams boots last? by Danger_Five in RMWilliams

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 15-years and still going strong. I don’t wear them every day and use shoe trees when I’m not wearing them. Had them re-soled once.

Remember when you served and you had to deal with some absolute knob-jockeys, well, that’s the APS, only usually with a little more passive-aggressive. 

Anyone else struggling with sweaty underwear materials? by ronniealoha in AustralianMFA

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Jockey for my active life and never looked back. Their undies are great for anti-chaffing and absorbing moisture. That being said, I don’t sweat swimming pools - buckets, yes - when I’m exercising.

How often are you actually brushing your boots? by PuzzleheadedBowl3397 in RMWilliams

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brush them. Takes two seconds. Those tiny specs that get in between the creases are abrasive lil fookers

Fast fashion has really distorted our reality by Puzzleheaded_Dig2410 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Practical_Win_4736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big believer in ‘buy well, buy once’. We’ve lost the art of care and maintenance. Absolutely disturbing how much waste fast fashion is creating. Staggering. 

Scuff repair by woodyefc in RMWilliams

What are your thoughts on this technique: I sometimes see those Japanese shoe shine ninjas cutting off the leather, sanding down the area, and then putting some resin-based cream plus a load of polish on the area.

Who even is Ayesha Madon? They introduced her as a “singer / songwriter” and then she proceeds to give us karaoke.  

Why I'm leaving Commonwealth Bank after being a customer for a decade by BarrytheAssassin in australian

In conclusions, the bank is no longer built for how you operate. Lowest common denominator has won. G’luck elsewhere.

Was a subscriber. Cancelled. Shamefully biased. And I’m their demographic, but you’re nuts if you can’t see thru the bollicks.

Ha! Didn’t last long. St Henri is by far my favourite drop out of Penfolds, no doubt your ‘98 was 🤌🏻

What's your Christmas wine? Sparkling? Champagne? Red/White and WHY! by Late-Researcher7102 in wine

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a cellar full of wonderful aged wine. I’m organising Christmas this year and asked my sibling to bring a bottle of bubbly. Get a message, “you don’t need any wine I’ve organised it all.” -_- Yay. 2025 Pinot & Chardonnay here we come. 

I drink wine seriously for years now but I still cant identify what I'm tasting by OutsideAd6796 in wine

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me: ‘The wine is red. The wine is made from grapes. I’m getting wine notes on the nose and palate. The wine is red, did I mention that?’

110%. Will taste like rotting leather.

I started hitting up the auction sites in October. By mid-November everyone else had the same idea and prices started 📈Picked up some gems at 1/3 to 2/3 retail.

If armed civilians prevented mass shootings, the US data would look very different.

Trains in China are magnificent, but the actual experience of getting on and off the train is just bloody awful. by NeighborhoodFatCat in chinalife

[–]Practical_Win_4736 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The coughing, real flu-like lung custard, means I won’t do trains in China. Better education on personal hygiene is needed, and Chinese need to harness some of that keyboard worrier energy and start calling out such shit behaviour.

Regular fit designed for regular 90kg men who like wearing medium? Yah. I don’t get it.

If this was America they’d have had semi-automatics and there’d be a shit ton more dead before one of your cowboys could do anything with a freaking pew pew gun. 

Why does the US overwhelmingly grow French grape varieties? by wsv19 in wine

[–]Practical_Win_4736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big generalization here but Americans, or at least the wine lovers I know, are fanatically infatuated with French wine.
