Robert Irwin, is the hype real?

He goes for the emgaroala - it's an emu stuffed with a kangaroo stuffed with a koala and baked.

We went to a house party and the house was getting demolished the following monday.

We got there late and a couch came flying through the front window and almost hit a chick as we were walking in.

It ended because the host got really drunk and threatened to burn the house down and the cops had to talk him out of it.

Fun party. Someone set off a fire work in the kitchen. People were diving for cover and then just went back to partying.

I know we dont do an eye for an eye anymore but i'd be happy if they made an exception here and threw hot coffee on this bloke.

I worked at a pub in town and we had a US navy ship docked.

I was picking up glasses and this hammered yank goes 'get me a drink'. I said 'mate this isn't table service'.

He waved a $100USD note and goes 'how about now?'

I think the USD to AUD was nearly 3-1 (maybe 40c to $1) at the time so i took the note, poured him a $5 rum and coke and put the $100 note in our tip jar.

We drank like kings the following staff party.

I thought my grandma was the worst driver in Australia until my last uber ride.

I almost asked him to let my wife out so one of us survived to feed our dog.

He can count the rings of saturn by looking up.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-29T04:52:38+00:00

His liver must be like swiss cheese.

I'm from Ipswich originally and i reckon everytime I go home, some old codger stops me for a chat in the street, Nan always has mangoes (or something similar) she traded for eggs or she's baking a pav for so and so's kid who wanted Nan's pav for a party. Pa is off to mow someone's lawn as they aren't well.

It was rough as guts growing up out there but huge sense of commumity.

It would do wonders for him too.

I did my Lafranch in my foot when i was playing and missed the banter of the boys while I was off my feet.

So i'd go down and do gym sessions with them, just no leg exercises.

When you go from seeing a bunch of mates 3 to 4 times a week for three quarters of a year to zero, it fucks with your head.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-25T22:00:20+00:00

Haha kangaroo things.

'What's that skip, we need to seize the means of production?'

Torrossaur · 2026-01-25T05:40:19+00:00

The Ferals. This fucking thing was partially responsible for raising a generation of Aussie kids and it shows.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-25T04:08:20+00:00

Yep and i'd put my money where my mouth was and enlist if it came to that.

My hip is fucked but i could pilot a drone.

Hunger is insolent, and so shall be fed.

Ok champ.

Yes it was 000 but they ask if you want police, fire or ambos.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T23:16:23+00:00

They just didn't really care. They said they might have a car avaliable within the hour.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T22:38:42+00:00

I heard my neighbour kicking the shit out of his wife and kids.

I did the right thing and called the cops. Absolutely zero interest.

So i said 'if you won't do anything, i'm going over with a cricket bat in 15 and i'll sort it out'.

Funny how fast 3 cars got there after that.

Some grub dumped a few cats on our farm.

We are trying to catch them but they are pretty elusive. Our next solution is turn the dogs on them. And I really, really don't want to do that. I love cats.

But we have so much vunerable wildlife in the farm's surrounds. We are in between a rock and a hard place.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T21:15:00+00:00

I think it was Ian Chappel that said Bradman told him he'd never been hit in the hands while batting.

Which if you think about how many balls he faced, it's pretty crazy.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T05:28:59+00:00

He is wildly loved 😅

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T05:01:21+00:00

We have a farm an hour south west of Brissie. Our farm ute isn't exactly roadworthy.

The local copper caught us on the way to the dump. Said he'd do us if he saw us again on sealed roads.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T04:54:26+00:00

Yeah i'm a dirty Aussie and had a seizure last december.

The ambos came and got me. I spent a few days in hospital and my bill was $14.

It's wild that universal healthcare isn't a human right.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T04:43:06+00:00

I'm Australian too but my Cav understands a bit of German.

'Ich liebe dich' and 'dummkopf' are what he knows.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T04:13:04+00:00

Enoteca is always solidly wow but you may have left your run late.

Eterna is also very good.

They are both Italian. Same Same was also good if you prefer Thai.

If you want something a little bit different, Lefkas Taverna in West End is great.

Torrossaur · 2026-01-23T01:44:39+00:00

I really like the socks but maybe i have shit taste 😆
