- I see Shinkansen Chopsticks - I buy Shinkansen chopsticks 🥢🚅🎌
- Saw this amazing piece of entitlement circulating around Facebook.
- I reiterate that the move from Laurie Oakes to Chris Uhlmann is one of the biggest downgrades of our time.
- Society was better when Channel 7 had the tennis and Channel 9 had the cricket.
- Americans would simply be rendered speechless as I pull out my phone and make a direct bank transfer on the Commbank app in about 20 seconds.
- The contrast between a 1945-1960 suburban layout and a mid 1970's-1990's suburban layout.
- UNBELIEVABLE: scientists invent a new type of electrified road that continually charges EV's whilst they're in motion! How interesting - modern technology is so cool!
- 1984 - Australia's most popular new car was the Ford Falcon, weighing in at 1,300 kg. 2024 - Forty years later, Australia's most popular new car was still a Ford, but this time its the Ford Ranger, weighing in at 2,250kg. "Why are roads falling apart these days???"
- Imagine if at any point, Albanese (or Dutton for that matter) turned around and said "I think Australia should buy New Zealand" and then repeated this several times over the next few days. They'd be ridiculed and rightly ousted by their parties within a month.
- In a few weeks, a one-day V/Line ticket will be capped at $9.20, the same as a one-day metropolitan fare. I'm *very* tempted to see if I can make it from one frontier of Victoria to another (Mildura to Mallacoota) which would cost approximately one cent per kilometre travelled.
- Why, in a hot country like this, are deep grey and black tones becoming such prevailing features on new builds?
- Melbourne is being treated to another 10 out of 10 late winter sunset. Phenomenal stuff, truly. 🚉🌇
- Babe what's wrong? You've barely touched your NSW Trainlink body lotion!
