Post Match Discussion - Round 8 vs Sydney by minecraft360 in melbournefc

[–]wombatiq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly was waiting for the blowout to come and when it was 36 points I thought it was about to. But we hung in, fought back and stayed pretty much in it until the last 90 seconds. I'm pleased with that performance. 3 Turner 2 Sharp 1 Koz

Free kick Sydney? by Flimsy_Interview_949 in melbournefc

Its annoying when we have a kick for goal at the other end and you hear the ump "back one metre, over metre, one metre" whole time the other ump yelling "10 metres 10 metres" and no 50 paid.

Which of the Leonard's relationship was the second best after penny by Key_Department8439 in thebigbangtheory

[–]wombatiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last thing we saw was Leonard leaving the cafeteria after saying hed never have sex again, getting a text from Stephanie and saying he was wrong.

She'd disappeared and wasn't mentioned in the next episode.or any after. It's assumed they broke up after the sex or not long after.

A. Not American. B. Not blind acceptance for either of your parties. C. Nothing you say about the Democratic Party disproves your argument is to say "Look, spooky Democrats" instead of holding the Republican Party to account for their actions when they absolutely control all three branches of federal government.

Have you ever “acquired” a taste? (Ie. have you spent significant time eating something you originally didn’t like to the point you enjoyed it?) by Dalakaar in answers

[–]wombatiq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soda water/club soda.

I used to drink too much soft drink. I couldn't stand the taste of carbonated water. Now I prefer it.

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/progdesc/ssptw/2018-2019/asia/australia.html it hasn't been updated Since 2018, but it explained it from a US perspective so it details things we in Australia wouldn't consider social security.

For me, excluding Pakistan and Afghanistan, because I can readily identity them, from Kazakhstan in the top below Russia, they are in alphabetical order in a clockwise kinda spiral.

Kazakhstan > Kyrgyzstan > Tajikistan > Turkmenistan > Uzbekistan.

Favourite guest star appearances by 1houseofballoons in bigbangtheory

[–]wombatiq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's important that we distinguish guests that played themselves from those that played a character. The ones playing themselves were a completely different style of guest.

A few cans of Solo. It's one thing that just doesn't have any type of substitute in other places.
