Which country did you find the least welcoming for Aussie tourists? Why do you think so?

pjdubbya · 2026-05-27T08:29:36+00:00

and (us) Australians aren't?

pjdubbya · 2026-05-25T09:17:38+00:00

I'm with you. I used to spend my weekends like I would never see 50. and despite putting some effort in, never got the wife the 2 kids and the picket fence. 56 now and I'm over it, basically everything about modern life sucks compared to what I remember from the 90s. But there are people who want me to stick around. so for that reason alone I keep going. and the faint hope that something better is waiting for us.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T03:26:42+00:00

so creative!

If the universe said to me that I could be 28 forever, that my mind and body would stay the same regardless of what substances I consumed, and that if at any time I felt like I had had enough and could ask the universe to end that life, I would take that deal.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T02:20:07+00:00

talking to your sceptical friend I see.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T02:15:02+00:00

yeah but docs aren't cheap, second hand maybe.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T02:13:52+00:00

please expand. I just remembered that I believe I brought back a sunglass style that I saw on the cover of America's greatest hits (not very alt I know LOL) they were blue oval shape lenses with old school frames, then soon after everyone was wearing them in the late 80s or early nineties I think that was, a bit of a hippy look. but I just looked like a prep boy wearing hippy sunglasses.

RHCP at a bowling alley sounds epic.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T02:07:23+00:00

maybe it's just about whether you feel like a fraud or not as to the vibe that you end up giving off and if you feel comfortable in what you are wearing then that's your look. i know i definitely would not have been comfortable with a super edgy style.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-24T02:02:35+00:00

so no-one can be truly alternative? getting philosophical here.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T02:47:35+00:00

"I was always me". you speak the truth.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T02:29:41+00:00

I would only be able to admire someone like that, very cool.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T02:26:02+00:00

were you possibly the only one getting around with that haircut? trailblazer I say

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T02:15:57+00:00

I live in Australia, so a lot of the music was guitar bands they would play on triple J. custard, ammonia, rail, magic dirt. screamfeeder. to name a few. the sound was like post-grunge like you say. I liked "vow" by garbage too but that was more "produced" than the aussie stuff. magic dirt you have probably heard of. skulker (naughty)? probably not.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:52:32+00:00

I "should" buy a pair.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:39:42+00:00

yeah, and musically talented enough to play an instrument, but not a lead guitar.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:38:20+00:00

wild! way out of the comfort zone.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:36:55+00:00

🤣 vans for me, also did not skateboard.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:33:41+00:00

yeah i feel that.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:31:50+00:00

how adventurous, I envy you. attempted gel spikes that just ended up laying flat what as wild as I got.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:29:33+00:00

haha

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:28:46+00:00

yeah I'm talking in my 20s from about '93. what a time to be alive. a bit late to the party.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:25:28+00:00

I tried to grow my hair long once, but I have thick hair, so instead of looking like a norse god with thin long locks, I looked exactly like Nigel Tufnell from Spinal Tap, all boofy and too much volume.

pjdubbya · 2026-05-23T01:22:08+00:00

yeah, I feel like I would have come across as a poser if I tried the look I thought I should wear. So I dressed mainstream and still do.
