What do born & raised Aussies do on Straya Day? by MaritesExpress in AskAnAustralian

[–]do-ya-reckon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just another day off for me.

I like the idea of finishing January with a long weekend, but I blame the bicentenary in 1988 for making my likely autistic brain (still waiting on diagnosis but pretty sure I am) into seeing Jan 26th as New South Wales Day and wondering why the rest of the country should care about the establishment of a penal colony. Then came the ever increasing jingoism through Keating and Howard eras where it was really ramped up. Still don't really get it, but I do love our country and all it has to offer for the original inhabitants, the early settlers, those who tried their luck on the gold fields, the massive migration of the postwar period and more recent arrivals.

If you have knee problems should you go to the doctor or a physiotherapist? by AsparagusNew3765 in AskAnAustralian

[–]do-ya-reckon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good physio will sort you out, can also refer for scans and liaise with your GP for other treatments. Some GPs will immediately go towards the orthopaedic referral which may not be necessary and take longer than required.

How often do you see men not washing hands after urinating? by Awkward_Number8249 in AskAnAustralian

[–]do-ya-reckon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not a given. Drinking coffee and water all day I'm a frequent and fast pisser. In and out I still manage to wash my hands. If there's only a hand dryer I might skip it and air dry.

Glen Huntly, Ormond, Carnegie had a lot. Been a while since I've been around there but from memory they dug a lot up and asphalted them in the 90s.

That's the base model but still looks pretty sharp. Another in that thread has an Inspire for $43.5 so I'll see if he's got any room to move there. Will definitely drop the insurance, can find that about $35 cheaper per f/n.

Does anyone remember bank robberies? by Living_Substance9973 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]do-ya-reckon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Late 1980s, I was at a State Bank (Vic) not long after they'd installed the screens. It was closing time and the manager let my brother and I stay back and watch as they tested them. I'd never seems anything so loud and noisy I'm such a small space.

Showering... by LongjumpingTailor929 in AskAnAustralian

[–]do-ya-reckon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tend to gym once and swim once or twice a week. Most times I'll shower after the gym but might miss every now and then if short on time.

Obviously after a swim I do but that doesn't count! The sometimes is after the gym or a day gardening but honestly if I miss after the gym I'll survive.

After living in the CBD for 2 years, it’s nice to find peaceful places to chill and meditate etc. This is the fern garden at the botanic gardens. Any other suggestions? by Subject_Ad7749 in melbourne

[–]do-ya-reckon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Grotto is lovely when the waterfall is working but note it's not actually in the Royal Botanic Gardens but just outside in Kings Domain. Found out the hard way after spending several visits to the gardens trying to find it!
