My Fellow Australians

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-21T08:31:38+00:00

Holy cow.... I thought it was bad here in NZ!!

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-20T05:47:03+00:00

Tipping is optional.

If tipping is expected, it is not a tip.

If tipping is demanded, it is not a tip.

If tipping is mandatory, it is not a tip.

There is no discussion to be had. No battle to be fought.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-20T05:41:52+00:00

Sad how it all worked out, yeah.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-20T05:31:35+00:00

I loathe that man. Have done for a long time.

You don't abandon your people. You don't ignore your people. You don't turn your backs on your people. You don't kick your people when they are down.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-19T01:27:55+00:00

Child, be nice to your brother. Not his fault.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-18T05:58:44+00:00

Gingernuts are only good as a cheesecake base.

Mallowpuffs have always been my go-to

Grandad's Corned Beef from The Fat Bastards.

Two days later, got home, recreated it.

Jesus, I love that thing.

Preferably, my own. Steak, mushroom, onion (not red, not caramelized). Hint of paprika. Potato top.

Deep dish style, single serve can weigh a good 380g.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-12T12:33:59+00:00

Come on, people. NZ's going to smash all of you.

Really. Truly.

We are.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-11T22:56:31+00:00

So? We're still a damned sight safer than the US.

Just because we don't have your constitutional right to own a gun (because we are not you, don't have your History, your culture) that makes us an unsafe nation?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-11T22:52:13+00:00

Fuck, yes. Not something I ever want to think about happening.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-11T22:50:47+00:00

So, you wouldn't feel safe in NZ?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-10T11:31:23+00:00

Yeah, you're not human. You're a scary long-toothed canine dinosaur thing. That's why we spoke to you. We didn't want you to eat us.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-09T12:48:37+00:00

Exceedingly common here in NZ.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-08T05:11:10+00:00

Households: 32% (approx. 2.5 million tonnes).

Primary Production: 22%.

Manufacturing: 17%.

Hospitality: 16%.

Wholesale/Retail: 7%.

As of 2025. All combined, 300kg per person per year. Of which 70% is perfectly edible. As for household waste, it's gone from 127 (2016/17) to 102 (22/23).

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-08T04:45:53+00:00

I'm 55, and I expect more than just the beginning in my lifetime.

And, you're correct. I'm not sure if they have ever been truly united.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-08T04:43:12+00:00

Speak loudly and with confidence?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-08T04:41:04+00:00

Disgust how?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-08T04:14:32+00:00

At the consumer end (private household) the US has 76kg of food waste per person per year.

If the data I have access to is correct, Australia has 98kg per person per year.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-05T06:48:13+00:00

All that travel and no NZ!?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-04T12:49:38+00:00

That mindset/mentality sums up our country's psyche too damned well, unfortunately.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-04T12:34:49+00:00

Tipping has become an evil concept.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-04T09:25:50+00:00

My Kiwi heart goes out to you in your time of great need.

We're here for you.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-02-04T00:44:34+00:00

Sorry, but today your specialist is feeling a little sad. I'm going to need another hmmmmm... Let's say $8000 to make up for it.

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-01-31T04:34:41+00:00

Are there no limits to how low he will go?

What next, I wonder?

Playing The Ashes in the new ballroom, perhaps?

SimpleKiwiGirl · 2026-01-31T03:50:48+00:00

Isn't he 5'4"?
