I just want apples that taste like real apples.

Last time had some absolute crackers, was from the local fruit and veg when was down in Denmark earlier in the year. Lovely.

Edit: Local grown and had the odd little bumps etc that would make the fresh food reject them before a year of storage. So good but.

You don't make friends with apples.

I always wonder whether I imagined apples being much better as a kid than they actually are, Apples in WA are better than in Vic or if apples are much worse now.

Can't figure it out, I like apples but I haven't had a really good one in many years.

edit: I've tried to turn this into english repeatedly and it's barely readable every single time

Ask Yidaki where he gets his free range, organic, gluten free apples from.

White nectarines or GTFO. Theyre not in season at the moment though.

Not a shitfight, just taking the piss out of his eating habits.

Not a stone fruit person myself.

Like with most foods, it's the texture, not the taste that I don't like.

You're not supposed to eat the stone

I like reality renovation shows mainly because I'm currently renovating my house and it's good to get some ideas. I was into Survivor and The Amazing Race big time in the early days but am over them now.

Same. Tend to stay away from shows like the block but watch Grand Designs and Selling Houses Aust on Foxtel.

I'm getting better tasting apples now that I'm in Tassie, but one of the main problems with fresh produce in Australia is that we export our best quality products.

Sometimes that means we have to import products at the lower end of the quality spectrum from poorer countries to fill demand.

fresh Batlow (NSW) apples FTW.

Doubtful. You need a cold climate for really decent apples.

Did anyone else watch that Paul Hogan show last night on Ch9? It was basically just his stage show that he did here where he tells his life story with clips from his tv shows and films.

I was a big fan of Hoges as a kid so I found it enthralling, you almost forget what a funny bastard he was back in his tv show days, a true Strayan legend.

With apples it's the sound of people eating them that I don't like, there is nothing more annoying than someone crunching into an apple near you.

In an office job about 10 years ago I had about 3 people sitting near me that would eat apples as a morning tea snack and they wouldn't all eat them at the same time, they would stagger their apple eating so you had about an hour of it each morning. I would have to leave my desk and go for a walk outside as it would drive me up the f***ing wall.

Are you sure you're not talking about El Dubya there?

Its winters would be fairly cold given where it is in NSW (especially in terms of elevation).

You don't make friends with apples.

You do with mash potatoes though

The tin man isn't a robot, and off all the transformers they could've went with, they chose that annoying campaigner "wheelie"?

 

[Plugger35]

You'd have to be a serious nerdwagon to know all the robots in that pic, I'd be lucky to name 10 of them.
