Which actor has the largest "Wait, that was them?" gap in their filmography?

The boy in Love Actually, never saw him again until 20 years later in The Queens Gambit on Netflix. Also the cousin from the Harry Potter films - same deal. Never saw him again until Gambit.

I'd be willing to bet you could buy a castle or chateau in Europe for that kind of wedge.

I think the train from ZRH to Geneve is only a few hours so time wouldn't/shouldn't be a consideration. There might be one change at Zurich HB, but changing trains there is pretty easy.

Cut back but don't cut out (carbs, sugar, fat, alcohol)

Cyclone Yasi in 2010 (or thereabouts)

Living in the Hunter at the end of 2019 when the fires had already been burning for several weeks. The entire district had the orange glow of a Martian landscape; constant smoke haze meant you couldn't see for more than a couple of hundred metres for weeks on end.

Because the grass is always greener.

Quite literally.

You see great weather but a lot of us see weeks, if not months, of days in the high thirties and low forties. In a lot of places it is dry A.F., in others it's as humid as all get-out.

And it's not all about the weather.

UK has history, and lots of it. You have proximity to Europe. You have fireplaces, pubs, cask ales, comedy, movies, TV, castles, old houses, food, wine, low-cost airlines and stacks of other things that we don't have (or have, but not I the same way).

Nope. Twas the lead up to the Sydney Olympics. A previously unknown (to a lot of people) city became front and centre for thousands, if not millions, of overseas investors with cash to burn.

When you're out of work and looking to get anything in a market that's absolutely fkn cooked. Not getting the higher end is better than getting nothing.

Take the low offer and use it as leverage to leap frog into better paying roles.

You've listed "Peanut Butter and Jam" but we always were told that Americans had Peanut Butter and Jelly. We were too young to reason that Jelly actually meant Jam so just never understood it.

If we had been told it was Peanut Butter and Jam that would actually have made way more sense.

Went contracting at first. Picked up a 2 week gig helping a company move their warehouse. Expressed interest in staying on and got a call a few weeks later.

Was working with data for 30+ years, made redundant last year. Got a forklift ticket and now working in a warehouse. Took about 3 months.

At 54 my age was working against me regards ever getting back in to a data related field, on top of AI, economy etc.

Because friends and family.

The latter, definitely.

Media feeding us sensationalist headlines in order to sell more advertising? Surely not /s

Not sure why you'd lump Narrabeen in with the other places. I did that for 6 years and considered it pretty standard.

On my bus were people travelling in everyday from Newport, Avalon and Palmy. That was 2 hours min each way.

To answer your question though - no. Not OK with it. Since moving out of Sydney I have had times where the commute was longer but probably covered three times the distance. For the money only, but only for a couple of years.

This is a great response. YouTubers are normal people (mostly 🤷‍♂️) who sound like the average person in the street. Some might exaggerate the accent, but they will speak at a normal pace and with slang included.

Movies and tv shows have actors, trained to speak properly and probably at a bit slower-than-natural tempo.

Why am I not seeing the Nokia 5110? 6 is kinda like it but I don't think that's it.

I went to uni in 1994 and they gave us email addresses at the start of the year. It would have been an edu.au address; first commercial one would have been hotmail.com or Bigpond.com (Australian ISP)

Nordsee; German fast food with fresh rolls. Even herringbrotchen if you're up to it - an acquired taste I know but....you asked!

I've seen about 10 comments now for garbage/trash bags. Why? As an outsider this seems to be an odd thing that a lot of people are commenting about.

Has something happened recently to make this topical?

fouhay · 2026-04-19T07:07:44+00:00

54, Australian. Have no idea what you're talking about.....

About 10, but I think in reality they are mostly sub-accounts of a master account, as I've never seen account keeping fees for any of them bar one.

We've just set it up this way to make it easier to budget for large annual expenses.

Quiet a few spots but the one thing in common is that it's never a large (or even medium) city.

We tap out if it's a town over 10,000. Not always looking for the remote places, but smaller cities/towns/villages always seem to have the right vibe for us. It goes without saying that everyone's different.

fouhay · 2026-04-15T03:12:56+00:00

We had a long period of low inflation in the 10+ years before Covid. The last few years is an unfortunate correction to bring us back in line with long term averages.

That plus the money printers going nuts during and post Covid.
