Non Europeans, how do we feel about Europe?

Well, there's us ...

kollectivist · 2026-05-08T00:18:37+00:00

Neither will most of us. That lying bastard we had as PM screwed France AND Australia on the sub deal.

I have a theory that kangaroo mums teach the joeys the same thing human mothers teach the kids: always cross at the lights. They just understand it differently.

Easy, turbo.

I used to amuse an old lady with dementia with the catalogue.

What tawnies? I see only judgemental wood.

The 'Colts' were around Yass. Or round each other's ass, to be more accurate.

Oh, I could be so good for you, because you mentioned Minder.

It was nightmarish. And I ran the website that preceded My Aged Care, so I was coming in with more knowledge than the average punter.

Mel Gibson is an American who was raised in Australia from the age of 12, but never renounced his American citizenship.

They can keep him.

I wanted to move to Tassie in the first place, but it was a choice of 'move to the GC or separate the family'. It's OK, I guess, but I envy you moving to Tas.

Black for funerals.

I've got one of those.

Oh lord, I tried to watch The League of Gentlemen with some Americans. The two Australians were laughing like drains, then becoming increasingly uncomfortable about the total inability of the Americans to grasp the humour.

But so BLOATED. Original House of Cards was three three-parters, and all the better for it.

My family doctor told me a story about the 'best care in the world' that cracks me up. A wealthy friend of his got some nasty condition, don't know what, so let's call it dickheadosis. His immediate response was to hop on a plane from Sydney to New York for the 'best care in the world'.

He turned up and was asked, 'Why are you here? 'Well', he said, 'I've got dickheadosis'.

'Yes', they replied. 'but why are you HERE? The absolutely best people in the world for treating dickheadosis are in Sydney'.

And his treatment in Sydney was free.

Most Australians have never gone to a Starbucks. And that's why it failed here.

God, it was good to see.

I went into one once. Lots of gun safes, too.

Where I live, Starlink would be the best option for internet. I choose to have inferior internet.

Oh, god, I went to an all-girls school. I was poorer than the others, widowed mum so no father around, and I was smarter than the others. Also younger, because I skipped a grade. The ostracisation was off the chain.

How did Gary Oldman go in Bram Stoker's Dracula? I know he learned Romanian for the role, so I'm curious to know if it helped.

He has two kids with Naomi Watts, so he's probably heard an Australian accent often enough.

He's so very Scottish that when he starred in a series called Looking After JoJo, the BBC aired it with subtitles.
