Would anyone please listen to this song with me?
Found it! It's handy having a big music collection sometimes. :)- Outdated

Now I've got an earworm. The song you posted reminds me of a song in English, I can almost hear it in my mind but can't for the life of me remember the name of the song or who sung it.- Outdated

Took advice
It's something I've been doing for many years now, for me it started by accident though. Sometimes things I saw on the news would upset me enough to write an angry letter about it. After embarrassing myself a couple of times I learnt not to actually send the letter until the next day when I've...- Outdated

Post something Weird or Random
We do sushi a little bit different in Australia. Here it's a very common and very cheap fast food and the rolls aren't cut up, you buy them whole and they can be eaten one handed while walking down the street. Everything is made fresh and you can usually see them making more and restocking their...- Outdated

How do you feel about the holidays?
It's summer school holidays here too and the kids don't go back to school until February so it's a busy time of year here.- Outdated

RIP Crucial (Micron) RAM and SSDs
That's because it's now outdated. Supply and demand, almost all manufacturing of DDR4 is ending and it's becoming more scarce. I just did a quick search on the site you linked and the DDR5 prices aren't all that different to here, a little more expensive maybe but not by much.- Outdated

RIP Crucial (Micron) RAM and SSDs
I haven't looked at parts for about 3 years now so this comment got me curious and I had a quick look. Here everything's gone up in price a bit the last few years and this is true for computer parts too but I'm not seeing price increases outstripping other industries. We have quite a few online...- Outdated

Owls are cool, Koalas are noisy smelly disease ridden pests that we have to regularly cull to prevent them from destroying their own habitats. People from around Sydney think they're an endangered species, but that's because Sydney is so polluted that native animals can't survive.- Outdated

Christmas Decorating?
When I was growing up just about every second house had a few chooks in the back yard and eggs were something we were allowed to eat as many as we liked. We just used to crack an egg in to a tall glass, add a teaspoon of sugar then start whisking it with a dinner fork, as it thickens you start... -
Hi everyone. I'm new here and I have a lot to share about my experiences with Autism and maybe my hobbies as well.
Hi and welcome to the forum. Greetings from South Australia. (I'm not the weird one, it's the rest of the world :) ) If you feel awkward about that then use the search button at the top right of the page to search a few topics that interest you and see if you can get a feel for what's...- Outdated

Christmas Decorating?
You see it in the shops over there from time to time, if your ever spot it treat yourself to a Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Ginger Beer IS NOT Ginger Ale. Entirely different things. Ginger beer isn't bitey, it's smooth and sweet and can also be alcoholic. -
Christmas Decorating?
Lots of traditions start for practical reasons. Ginger was useful where you get lots of older people gathering because it reduces flatulence. :) -
Christmas Decorating?
Australia is very British. For about 50 years migration was very restricted to anyone outside of Britain and because we're so far away from the rest of the world we had very little other foreign influences. That started to change in the 1960s. Here a Hot Toddy was a cure for the common cold... -
Christmas Decorating?
Egg Nog isn't a Christmas thing here. It was a very common and popular drink when I was growing up but it was cold rather than hot and it wasn't associated with any holiday, you don't see it very often any more. -

When I was growing up this style of kerosene heater was very popular. Added bonus - you can keep a pot of tea or coffee hot on it too. You need ventilation for them though, need to leave a window or a door open a crack.- Outdated

Christmas Decorating?
Yes, a very dense and very heavy fruitcake. I can't remember all the process of making them though, Mum used to make 3 every year, one for us, one for her mother and one for her grandmother who was still alive back then, but she stopped doing it when we were teenagers. There were coins and... -

They can be had any time of year but have also become an almost essential part of any Christmas Lunch. The traditional desert was the very old fashioned English Christmas Pudding served hot with custard. These were a very dense dark fruitcake steeped in brandy and left hanging to cure for a... -
Christmas Decorating?
I actually don't like them, too sweet, but it's culturally unacceptable for me to say so. :) They also form part of the friendly rivalry between Australia and New Zealand over who invented it. Either way it was the Aussies that named it. For a while here there was a trend in Sydney that when a...
