Sorry for assuming so.

But if they're homeless what do they actually have and where do they store their possessions?

I think it would vary a lot per person. Homeless people are still people and everyone has a story.

https://www.homelessnessaustralia.org.au/about/homelessness-statistics

Where are people staying?

• Improvised dwellings, tents or sleeping out 6%
• Supported accommodation for the homeless 20%
• Staying temporarily with other households 17%
• Boarding houses 17%
• Other temporary lodging 1%
• “Severely” overcrowded dwellings 39%

The clients of My Budget go from mountains of debt and struggling completely with money to having property portfolios & overseas holidays WTF!!

Lots of "professional" homeless people. The ones with a well fed dog in particular.

You will find in most cases the dogs are from a previous life, their best friend, their loyal mate and the one that will always get fed before they do





We have clients who drop their “trollies” off in the morning and return before close to pick them up. A lot of them if they aren’t on the streets live out of their cars and use agencies that specialise in homelessness so that they can shower and get assistance for food.
Shelters in Perth are constantly fully booked and it’s difficult to get a bed and hence why there’s so many around the streets begging. There are lots of reasons for homelessness but at the end of it all, no one wants to live that way and it’s sad that the numbers continue to grow

Why’s that

I bought some cans of Fosters from Aldi the other day. Just had a look, and they were brewed in Edinburgh.

So much for "Australian for beer"

What's not to understand? It was a marketing term, 30 years old or more mind you. It doesnt say made in Australia, just Australian for Beer.

I am in Australia drinking a beer that is known to be Australian that was brewed in Scotland.

 

[JackOutback]

Your mistake was in buying Fosters.

 

[The Passenger]

They barely sell Fosters in pubs in England anymore.

 

[The Dice Man]

There's a bar in Cannes that sells Fosters. They even have the badged pint glasses, of which 2 reside in my cupboard.

Me. I get seasick very easily - inside in a cabin I'll be sick the entire trip. Outside the fresh, cool air will help me settle.

If it is vertigo induced nausea, being able to calibrate your vision with the horizon (presuming swell isn't so high as to obscure view) will provide almost immediate relief.

I spent four hours outside, frozen to the core in torrential rain travelling on the Spirit of Tas the second time I travelled...but at least I was only unwell, not violently ill. (1st time I spent in the toilet cubicle apparently trying to lose 10% of my bodyweight).

Why wouldn't you just fly?

And thank * for that!

What happened to carrying your school bag over one shoulder like a boss?

 

[Benny78]

Why does every single masterchef in the world cook their meals with only salmon and asparagus?

How about some "bacon and eggs" or some "steak and chips" ffs.

Salmon taste terrible. Why don't they use John Dory or whiting instead?

Update on the bloke who randomly started calling me David at work, I think he now knows it isn't my name, he just "mated" me.

Facebook has moved more than 1.5 billion users out of reach of European privacy law, despite a promise from Mark Zuckerberg to apply the “spirit” of the legislation globally.

In a tweak to its terms and conditions, Facebook is shifting the responsibility for all users outside the US, Canada and the EU from its international HQ in Ireland to its main offices in California. It means that those users will now be on a site governed by US law rather than Irish law.

The move is due to come into effect shortly before General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force in Europe on 25 May. Facebook is liable under GDPR for fines of up to 4% of its global turnover – around $1.6bn – if it breaks the new data protection rules.

Why anyone still has a Facebook account, Zuckerberg is a campaigner who's using you.

I have one for posting photos of Mary, because if I don't post enough my mother in law will message HBF and I incessantly until we do
