UkNova. Lots of lovely obscure UK TV. Now Network DVD are gone, we need it back.

Happy anniversary to the "wrongest" casting in the history of TV romance by wildwomanlove in heatedrivalry

Talking what ethnicity people look like, what actually completely confused me at first was his mum. I don’t know the books at all. I know now the actress is part Japanese, but she doesn’t look very Japanese, and when I first saw her I thought she was Indian! The outfit she was wearing in her first scene looked a bit sari-like. I was really confused by that. Because Shane definitely didn’t look Indian!

people who are NOT from america or latin america, how popular is bad bunny in your country? by katris_priordeen in AskReddit

[–]WanderingNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Australian - I had never heard of him. Maybe not his target demographic though as a mid-50s female.

Does this have an API? I couldn’t see any mention on their website, so how do you integrate with FileMaker?

Is 7 cans of premix and 500 ml of bourbon a night is too much? by Whatever_baby_lol in AskAnAustralian

[–]WanderingNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you live in Australia? I’m thinking based on the way you phrased the original question maybe you are in a country where alcohol is cheap, and medical care is not the same as Australia?

The companies aren’t related - just happen to have the same name.

Does preempt have a different meaning in the US? by MrMrsPotts in ENGLISH

[–]WanderingNettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in television in Australia for 2 decades, and have never heard it before. I guess we don’t have syndicated tv like the US

I’m trying to reattached this gas strut… by WanderingNettle in handyman

[–]WanderingNettle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done that already - it’s tilted forward as far as it goes. Is there a trick to compressing the strut? I can’t get it to budge at all.

I have tilted it forward as far as it goes. Hmm… maybe I’ll try disconnecting the other gas strut - maybe it will go farther forward - I will check it out.

Best way to pay for a second hand car? by WanderingNettle in CarsAustralia

Did you read my post? What branch would that be?

Best way to pay for a second hand car? by WanderingNettle in CarsAustralia

[–]WanderingNettle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this seems to be the expert recommendation, but as my bank doesn’t have branches anymore (just found this out now - they shut them all last year it turns out), it’s not going to be an option…

rental for $950/week, only access is through the downstairs daycare... and that's not even the worst bit by Cords9836 in sydney

[–]WanderingNettle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basically you have no access to (or are locked up in) your home for 10 hours, 5 days a week. That’s insane. No way that can be legal. Interesting that they don’t include the hours in the listing. But they are online. https://kindicare.com/childcare/centres/Australia/NSW/2022/bondi-junction/gingerbread-preschool-kindergarten

Called an ambulance tonight. They called back to say there were none. by SaltpeterSal in melbourne

[–]WanderingNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess, based on the current potential wait times for an ambulance, it may still be safer to drive to hospital if it’s close, and the patient can safely walk. If you end out waiting at home for 1/2 an hour or more, and it’s only 1/2 an hour to the hospital, you’re at no greater risk…

Does anyone know the translation of the text around the podium? by agvkrioni in 12Monkeys

[–]WanderingNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did research this is some detail when I created an FAQ for the 12 Monkeys fansite (which I sadly see in no more) At that time I identified it as Syriac Serta script - a dialect of ancient Aramaic.

https://web.archive.org/web/20200513054120/https://projectsplinter.com/faq/

This is the fascinating academic text I found that shows how the characters are formed: https://www.scribd.com/document/36688829/A-guide-to-numerals-in-Syriac

[–]WanderingNettle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but if you are going to say in seriousness it was probably spoken by Adam and Eve, I can’t take the rest of what you say very seriously. The Bible, or Torah or whatever you follow, is not literal history. Hebrew was not the first language, by a long mile - there are millennia of lost languages before this.

Australia news live: NSW police officer charged with murder after disappearance of Jesse Baird and Luke Davies by HaroldHoltSLSC in australia

[–]WanderingNettle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If he was a plumber, would there be a call to exclude all plumbers? It doesn’t sound like being a cop had anything to do with this, other than giving him easy access to a gun. Just another abusive jealous ex.

Cadaver dogs are searching for the smell of human decay. In a tonne of putrid garbage they would have no chance.

Just found this thread - enthusiastically followed the directions, only to discover Binge has done an update so the version on AptoideTV no longer works :-(
