Come to Adelaide, no roadworthy test, and a fifteen year old car is still considered nearly new.

I was thinking the same here in WA - only time your car goes over the pits is when the rego is expired or the police slap a sticker on it

Okay, so I was confused when I watched Sausage Party as to what a "douche" was.

I could kind of figure it out as the movie went along, and now that I'm home and can Google, I know for certain what it is.

But why the hell have I never heard of this before? How common do women douche? Since when has douche ever meant something other than an insult and hilariously the French word for shower?

I don't know any woman who has ever douched. It's not good for you. I think a few decades ago they thought it had health benefits though.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Haha. Since always. Did you think it was just a made up word used for an insult?

 

[Off The Couch]

I think it's more something women used to do TheFreshBanana than something that's currently trending. I don't know anyone that's ever done it and the closest thing to experiencing a douche is if you've used a bidet

Yeah uck.

Interesting, very interesting, I didn't expected to find here so many questions, as I see some of them seem to be a little stupid, guess some of people are just bored

Am I the only person that thinks Soul Mates is the funniest Australian comedy since Hey Dad?

Just saw Free State of Jones- can anyone recommend a good book on the American Civil War?

For a dolt like me who knows very little on the topic.

found this thread through a search for 'futsal', and found significant mention of goalkeeping back on pages 90-100...

i moved over to futsal from aussie rules 8 years ago, and put myself in goals of a friends team. no soccer background, but as a FF in my footy days had safe hands and figured goals would suit. took to it really well as a shot-stopper, but i dont have brilliant foot skills as im not a 'native' soccer player, though i get by ok.

have played in A-grade for most of those 8 years in a good level comp, won 2 grand finals and made finals more often than not.

so with that background of my approximate level out of the way, im moving from adelaide to brisbane soon for work, and would love to find a competition or team to join if anyone here knows of anything!

Are you moving soon to Brisbane? Maybe some posters around these parts can give you some advice.

How many people utilise all the member features of bigfooty? I just had a look and it appears there are things like news feed, content, status' and I had no ide nor use any of them. Do any of them enhance the bigfooty experience?

 

[The Passenger]

Did anyone play BigFooty tipping in 2016? What was the scoring system? Noticed the three leaders on 164, 161 and 160. Leading tipper on footytyips.com.au (500,000 players) was 158. Surely BF used a system with some sort of bonus points ?

No bonus on BigFooty, I know footytips has a bonus where you double your tips for a selected round.

Sounds like they will be kicking themselves. What was the prize in that Comp

Don't even know if there was one. Seemed a bit weird that the top 3 in bigfooty would beat out 500,000 people.

I quit footy tipping 3 years ago. My quality of life is so much better since.

Hey Dad was funny?

 

[Firestarter]

Wow. Since Hey Dad?

So I'm finishing an internship that I started a few months ago at the end of this week, and I want to buy my two supervisors a gift as they have been awesome to me during my time here. They are both female, one is about 25 and the other would be late 30's.

Any idea what to get them? I was thinking a double pass each for like a massage at a day spa for their partners but that would be quite expensive. I also thought about a gold class double passes each to the cinemas, but I'm not too sure.
