Folks like you that reside in "fluffyville" think the only people who have issues with these pricks are black folks.

I agree, we need ever more inclusivity when it comes to these kinds of discussions. Mr. Acho has made a start here. Hopefully more voices will join in, to share their perspectives with meaningful discourse that is free of criticism and judgement.

Lots of irrelevant stuff in this thread, even for a random thread - when bigger more pressing issues demand attention.

I found a gecko in the garden yesterday. A ****ing gecko. In suburban Melbourne.

When the hell did this start?

How about dropping it off at Arden Street.


the majority of people in Thailand have a fondness for the Tokay gecko, some of the more superstitious Thais believe having a Tokay around, (preferably outside) can bring good luck.


The Gecko brings good luck – so they say: The Spanish and Portuguese, for example, love them and they may put a ceramic of a Gecko (or lizard – the family to which it belongs) on the wall of their home to attract good luck

Although the Gecko is part of the rich culture of good luck in much of South-East Asia (and very forcibly in Hawaii and Polynesia), no-one knows for sure where this belief that these type of lizards bring good luck comes from. They are said to be courageous creatures, brave, intrepid and adventurous. And because of such behaviour, Geckos are also a symbol of a fearless and bold passion, supposedly helping to awaken a fire within us by prioritising pleasure, self-care and connection.

Spot on andana. I must say I enjoyed plenty of good luck over the years with our resident geckos in northern Thailand (inside and outside). Not only are they a sign of good luck, but they are brilliant alarm clocks. Locals say having too many geckos around brings the cobras which was proven correct for me on many occasions over the years. One piece of advice, don't let the Tokay gecko get hold of your finger...they are bloody hard to remove.

1914-1918:
Lest We Forget

 

[goalieboy82]

this was written about my Great-Granddad (by one of his men) who went over the top about 9am that day. please note its has some none PC names for people.
(Written in France By a Sergeant In Capt Brown?s Company)
Tis was the eleventh day of November,
In the year of old eighteen:
When the boys in France,
Were taking a chance
With Jerry across the Rhine.
T?was the boys of old ?B? Company,
?B? Company?s last twenty-one,
Who stood in France that very day
And heard Lieut. Brown say:
?We go over at nine,
There?s a gap in the line,
It?s up to you, so get busy,?
Well, we just stood up and looked at each other
From where had the order come?
That would send up across?t
When our men were all lost,
From shell, gas and exposure.
So our thoughts all turned to Battalion
To Woodward the Gold Leaf Man,
Who sat in a chair
With much of an air
Told what his Batt had done.
There wasn?t a bunch who were gamer,
With Brownie to lead us across?t,
But we knew the guns stopped at eleven
And we hated to pay the cost.
But we spread out in the open
With Brownie at the head,
And every man waited for it to come:
Well ?it? came when we advanced a kilo
A box barrage laid down from the hill.
And every man took to cover
And every man wanted to kill
The Huns who were causing the mischief,
But what in the world could you do:
With scarcely any protection
And Fritzie had the range on you.
There was Platakis, the wop, from Chicago
Who got some gas in his head
And Fulton a first-class private
Who just missed a ton of lead.
When one of the ?big ones? came over
And burst with an awful roar
When he came to he?d got some gas
And this cut us down two more,
But the rest were lucky, I tell you
And every man whispered peace
So we all crawled back to where we started,
?B? Company?s last twenty-one
For the Wop and Fulton were with us,
And we know our ?bit? was done.

Now this is the guy I hoped we were getting as PM. Too little too late of course, but it's nice to see people starting to take the Murdoch press to town for their destructive propaganda campaign.

The man who ruined the nbn

The man who ruined the nbn

I don’t know shit about computers and the internet, but I’ll always remember that when Labour was outed not long after they started rolling out their version, think it was some really expensive fibre (sorry can’t remember what it was called), we were going to have one of the fastest in the world...then Liberal came in and scrapped it for the NBN, my mate who’s into that stuff told me that what the Libs were rolling out would be obsolete before the project was finished. He was 100% spot on. 3rd world countries have faster Internet then us. Embarrassing really.

My best little mate hit Arnold Briedis territory today A swag of early gifts from me, a Happy Birthday song from the before school care kids, a birthday lunch order, another swag of gifts from all and sundry after school, and a wonderfully awesome Shaun the Sheep birthday cake. Proudly snagged himself a second poppy so he could wear one on each side and his 1st question of the day was focused on young Edward Kelly, who was hanged on this day in 1880 - "Dad, how does hanging work?".
