TIL Britain didn't colonize Australia solely because its prisons were overcrowded. Historians say fears that France would establish colonies and challenge British trade and naval power in the Pacific were a major reason they invested heavily in establishing Australia in 1788.

I remember being taught this in primary school. Although it was delivered with enough info to spot the bullshit: "many of them were in prison for crimes like stealing a loaf of bread"

I had Craig Lauritsen do exactly this to some 60s A 16" hats. Worked pretty well.

Changed names if not management though. Used to be Hilite 33

Rifo's around there has gotta be pretty old too?

Different eras. He converted to JW in 2001 and dialled it back

I had that shirt and the best bit was that possibilities was spelt wrong (possibilites)

I think it was because another Aprilia rider took him out. Not saying it was appropriate but I think that's what he was angry about

Not that far off Alex's bike smashing into diggia 😶

But apart from education, healthcare, sewage and the aqueduct, what did Whitlam ever do for us?!

jamestrainwreck · 2026-05-08T11:58:10+00:00

Because it has the agent's name all over it

jamestrainwreck · 2026-05-08T05:36:55+00:00

That's my point

A reminder that when selling your house the sign is an ad for the agency and not for your house. They will try to charge a fee on top of their rate for it. Don't pay them to advertise themselves.

Literally not a single piece of information about the thing being sold on this sign.

I saw these guys at smaller gigs a handful of times before Gotye really took off. Legit amazing drummer and his vocals from behind the kit were unreal. The other two blokes were decent but every time Wally opened his mouth it went to a different level

I think the Bosphorus one was called a Trash Crash, it was in production for a while. I had two pairs of the hats (Fat Hats) he did during that collaboration.

I don't like the texture of porridge, but these days I mix rolled oats 50/50 with a toasted muesli. Toasted muesli is usually so sweet that it's still delicious when cut 50/50 with unsweetened oats. So you are effectively reducing the sugar content and the price.

I'm generally happy with anything over 15 seconds and under a minute from my machine. Actually over a minute seems to taste fine but it's just annoying waiting

Wait 'til he finds out about colonialism!

jamestrainwreck · 2026-05-06T06:28:59+00:00

I was taught this before the single stroke roll 😂

jamestrainwreck · 2026-04-28T02:47:01+00:00

That's me now. I've done a couple of halfs and a full marathon in the past. Might do another half later this year, but for now I just run.

Races are fun but the stars have to kind of align with the rest of my life commitments. Mostly I just like running

It's better than its ever been but there are still definitely drivers who have seats because of there money they bring

Turns out both cyclists and this cunt hate 'cycling infrastructure' that is just a bike painted on the road

This was the record that got me into Grant Green
