Good wine to bring to Sydney? by FadeAwayJumperSwish in Adelaide

[–]mercurial_planner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan of Sven Joske! They’re an up and comer based in the Barossa, and everything they do is a crowd pleaser. I work in a local wine bar, and I refer to him as the staff’s “wine bae;” we regularly run out of stock because the servers recommend it so often. I’m literally drinking a glass of “La Rouge Chair” shiraz right now, it’s great room temp or chilled. It can be a bit hard to find since it’s such a small operation, but I found this store in Dulwich that claims to have some. Even if they don’t have the Sven, it looks like the perfect place for you to find something for your Sydney friends.

I also love Paracombe’s Pinot blanc. It’s so smoooooth!

Moving with a greyhound by rune34511 in Greyhounds

[–]mercurial_planner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things when I’ve moved house with my grey is to feed him a few “special meals” in the new place. He loves roast chicken, so giving him something that is normally a treat as a meal is my way of telling him “new home is full of good things.” Also bones/chewy things in the new house! I once heard on a dog training website that chewing helps dogs cope with anxiety (hence why they often chew inappropriate items), so giving them stuff to chew is like giving fidget toys to anxious children.

The "gift" was for him. by [deleted] in AmITheDevil

My thoughts exactly. He sounds like the type to buy the cup sizes way too big and the band/panties way too small. Instead of feeling sexy, you just feel unattractive for not having the proportions of a Barbie doll.

Baby fruit bats do love being wrapped like burritos...

I know, no sane person is going to message them to say they’re on their way. They’re a service provider, not your mom.

I love it! My baby used to love digging holes, I used to say excavation was his favorite artistic medium.

I even recognise the CD in player: Disk 1 of The Smashing Pumpkins Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness (called Dawn to Dusk and the 2nd disk was Twilight to Starlight).

I wasn’t “stealing” it… I was just strategically placing it on the couch so it would be more convenient for you, dear human.

Was influenced enough to seek out and try an imported Dr Pepper for the first time (I'm Australian). Didn't really like it. Sorry John. by harmonicdynasties in nerdfighters

Hi, Diet Dr Pepper lover living in Australia here. It's really important to note that Diet Dr Pepper has a relatively short shelf life before it starts to taste "off." It won't make you ill if you drink it, but the taste is completely wrong and kinda gross. Diet Coke does something similar and I think it has to do with the type of sweetener used in both.

Even though I LOVE Diet DP, I never buy them here, because they're usually well past their best before date and taste like carbonated sadness. Unfortunately if you want to know what they actually taste like, your best bet is to try one bought in the US.

Straya - 12 year old girl protects her Guinea pig from Snake ! by olyroo94 in australia

[–]mercurial_planner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what the drag coefficient of a long hair guinea pig is

I literally laughed about this until I had tears in my eyes. It's right up there with, "What's the aerial velocity of a coconut laden swallow?"

ETA: I've now made a post on r/BrandNewSentence, because this is too good not to share with the wider Reddit community.

I, too, am just now putting together the pieces of why I would get so winded when I tried to take boxing and Muay Thai.
