And to follow up from this morning's hostel loony the bus from Manc to London has broken down. This definitely isn't one of my favorite traveling days. Free WiFi the only thing to keep me entertained at the moment.

 

[Wosh]

The world would be a much better place if people reused and recycled more instead of sending everything to landfill. Some people are so creative and can do amazing things with items that other people consider to be rubbish....or even if they use it in its original form, at least someone's getting something out of it.

Reporting someone for taking something that you don't want anymore and you've put outside for the express purpose of getting rid of it is petty AF.

This. We don't have bulk council collection in our suburb but through our renovations and anual clean outs we have put dozens of things out on the front lawn, it's absolutely amazing what people will take and find some use for..we are always wrapt to know it's being recycled in some way. From kids bikes to old stoves to bookshelves, mirrors, plasterboard..and people always come to the door and ask and have a chat..we make sure they know we appreciate them taking it and are glad to see it reused too. Small things all go to the salvos though I wont take anything broken or stained or shabby to the Salvos, it's an insult imo.

What didn't you do?

I didn't mow the lawn on the weekend because it rained for most of it. Does that count?

What about the 11 men that wear the baggy green?

 

[HBF]

Are you talking about those lights that are brighter than the sun aimed up at your eyes?

Yep.
And especially when you're driving towards them.

What I am trying to get at is that the Aussie networks need to stop producing, showing, and replaying reality television. They need to focus on fictional television.

Why?

If the Australian public wanted it, they'd already be doing it.

So you are happy with reality tv every ****ing night.

 

[craigos]

ABC do have some good shows, Rake is the standout, seriously the best piece of Australian TV I've seen since A Country Practice

 

[TheFreshBanana]

So you are happy with reality tv every ******* night.

I really don't care.

Reality TV is the same as Australian produced TV shows.

I wouldn't watch either of them.

Ahhhhh hostels. Sometimes you love them, and then other times they have their moments.

Woken up this morning to a guy yelling his head off in my room out the window at some chicks causing a bit commotion on the street.

The girls weren't loud enough to wake me, or anyone in the room for that matter... But this campaigner at top voice ("shut up you dumb bitches or I'll come down and tie you to a tree") from 3 metres away was pretty hard to ignore. Serious anger management issues.

One of the UK hostels I stayed in there was a bloke in my room who was living there and had some labouring job, he started work pretty early in the morning so arranged with the staff to get a wake up call at about 5am or some other ungodly hour.

The wake up call just consisted of one of the staff members opening the door of our room and yelling out to the guy that arranged the wake up call, it may as well have been a bloody wake up call for everyone else in the room too as you couldn't not be woken up by it. Happened every bloody morning I was there, which was about a week or so.

I stayed in one in Zim that got raided by the local rozzers because they were selling micro dots, weed, and booze. A whip around for a bit of hard currency from the residents ensured that the matter was dealt with officiously.

 

[HBF]

check ya temps man

Yeah rookie error right there.

 

[BALKAN]

So you are happy with reality tv every ******* night.

Clearly the majority of people are. The public likes reality shows and any need for fictional programs is satiated by the easily accessible US and UK shows.

I would love to see more Australian dramas/sitcoms, we have heaps of talent here, but sadly it's not worth investing in because the majority of Australians are turned off when they see that something is Australian made.

 

[Plugger35]

SBS is probably the best for Aussie produced shows with stuff like "Who Do You Think You Are?" and "Go Back To Where You Came From".

The other commercial channels have mostly garbage.

 

[Off The Couch]

I'm a big fan of the abc - good mix of great series and documentaries

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah I watch mostly SBS and the ABC these days, I really only watch sports or sports related shows on the other channels.
