Biblical name.

Yeah, you're right and sensible, and we're all sad little fraidy cats. Now run away and play wth the big boys, and let the rest of us us stew in our own perpetual panic-stricken agonies. This is a support group, not a biology class.

Regularly make double dinners. Usually the same amount of effort and cooking (OK - may do some more cutting up of veggies). Same cooking time. Many things taste better the next day after 24 hrs resting in the fridge. Sometimes add mashed spuds, rice or noodles the following evening just to...

We had a power failure the other morning - woke up to 5 degrees and no kettle, no heating. Quick dash to the bakery for the hot cheese and bacon rolls.

Particularly since Boronia was rebuilt just over 20 years ago.

Over the last year or so, I had an aversion to hitting the $100 mark when refilling (I have an average 50-ish litre tank on my car). I had a couple of times when the bowser got into the $90s and I stopped before it reached the ton because I didn't want to pay that! Finally 'scored' my first...

It's an interesting question - ideally the GG should just tick off the government actions PROVIDED they don't break any laws etc. The question is, was the GG aware of the secrecy and still approved - which raises all sorts of questions (is it actually illegal?) - or did Scomo say 'It's all...

Now that's fecking amazing.

I saw last night (on The Weekly) that the Queen didn't turn up for the final Big Parade in the Jubilee (fair enough, she's 2 million years old), and so they had her coach trundling down the Mall with the Queen represented by a waving Hologram. I thought 'That's it! We've solved the Monarchy!'...

I never quite understood 'He died doing what he loved (playing golf, listening to his favourite music etc), he'd be happy.' Stuff that - I'm doing what I love!! Don't kill me now - kill me when I'm at the dentist, or visiting the wife's relatives. Not on the golf course, thanks.

It's true there are very few tactics in a sprint race - it's all about execution. However, the techniques are so refined that the difficulty of executing them at maximum effort is quite high, and the athletes spend literally years perfecting them. Everybody believes they can run, jump and...

Next PM. This is who we need in charge.

Sounds like a Saturday Night in the alleyways around King St.

"Wait! Have we tested the water for possible contamination? Someone conduct an impact study as quickly as possible and report back in 4-5 months".

Do you remember the old 'live On-field graphic' that used to be on AFL.com? It showed each movement in a 'live' passage of play on a simulated oval. Kicks, handpasses, marks, throw-ins. Some poor bugger had the job of typing it all in or something. It used to be about 2-3 minutes behind the...

I actually saw the car 2 years ago (I originally wrote last year, because Covid has made 2020 into a non-existent gap in my memory timeline - anyway it was in 2019). The car is in the Vienna Military museum. It was actually used for a few years by many people after the war. It has since been...

I read one book by an FBI profiler who talked to several serial killers. One guy he interviewed alone was Edward Kemper (who killed his mother and half-a-dozen others). In the course of one interview, Kemper said he was extremely bored in prison (he was supposedly very intelligent), and could...

Just sell the house. It's not your's anymore.

I always knew that as 'cutting your mate's grass'.

'Dago' was originally used in the British Navy to describe Spanish sailors - it's a mash-up of 'Diego'. In the same way that 'Heinz' is a stereotypical German, name, 'Mario' for Italians, 'Pierre' - French - etc.

There are several theories as to where the phrase 'Buckley's Chance' originated. William Buckley is the obvious one, but many think it originated with the Buckley & Nunn department store (rhyming slang, you see. The Buckley and Nunn stores eventually became just Buckleys and was then taken...

I do like 'shoot through like a Bondi tram' - obviously been falling out of favour since the 1950's (when Sydney got rid of trams). But recently heard there was a Melbourne version - 'shoot through like the Deepdene Dasher'. The Deepdene Dasher was a small steam train that ran on the old outer...

Green tomato chutney is fun to make. Millions of recipes around. And good on the toasted sangers. Otherwise, just freeze them (use an old chinese takeaway comtainer) and next time you need a can of tomatoes, just use that. I don't know what to do with the truckload of zucchinis.

Fresh vegies from your own garden.

Don't forget Atlantis......................................

I've just spent 10 minutes googling 'Women short skirts' and the wife just stuck her head around the corner and................................. Yeah. Thanks, guys.

There is an underwater optical illusion or mirage in the ocean because..................... I can't be stuffed writing it all out. Watch the vid - it's pretty cool.

Frilly, lacy lingerie - never looks good IMO.

Women with large noses. Some eastern mediterranean ladies (egyptians etc) can look stunning with the right probocis. Steffi Graf - wow.
