Why is it nearly impossible to get a decent custard tart these days ?
Remember when every suburb had it’s bakery, and everyone would swear by their local’s custard tart making prowess?
..and NO god dammit, Portuguese tartletts and variants thereof do NOT count as a custard tart. For fuck’s sake, seriously, this is our heritage we’re loosing here.!
Don’t even get me started on Lamingtons.
I didn’t write this, but do the right thing, read up.
As someone who has spent quite a bit of time there over the years, trust me.. ALL of this rings true..
Feel free to add your own ideas in comments if you are a native.

Millions of people visit New York City every year. Unfortunately, naive visitors throw a wrench into the delicate gears of this busy city with their clueless meanderings and obtrusive groups. Because of this, tourists are the most despised group of people in a city that likes to hate judge people.
Here are a few unwritten laws of the land that you must follow to avoid coming across as a total douche, and pissing everyone around you off in the process.
Driving: Don’t. Public transportation here works. Take it. But if you must drive, we have some rules, so we suggest you do so with this in mind: everyone else is trying to get where they’re going as fast as f**king possible. If you can go, go–stop only for red lights, children, dogs, other cars, bicycles, motorcycles/Chinese delivery men and pedestrians with the right of way.
Get used to changing lanes, merging and driving close to other sh*t. In New York, we change lanes–a lot–looking for a better path. Don’t be afraid of it. Just pay attention to what’s happening around you (that’s called driving) and you’ll be alright. Continue reading ‘Planning a trip to new york? “How To Not Be A Douchebag Tourist In NYC”’
Oh how I hate thee
They think we won’t notice, but WE DO. Arnotts, I hereby boycott you and all you stand for.
It seems CC’s have gone the way of the DoDo (and Wagon wheels you couldn’t fit in your mouth in one go). No fanfare, no nothing. Just removed from the shelves! I’m outraged. Now, as any connoisseur will tell you, Doritos are a pale imitation of the original tasty cheese CC and should NOT for any reason be confused with the former.
This confirms my suspicion that the world has finally gone completely crazy, and once again, our parents and grandparents were right on the money. Everything WAS better in the olden days. Next thing you know the crinkle-cut salt and vinegar chip will suddenly disappear.. and we’ll all be looking at each-other saying.. “umm.. is it just me? or can you not find the salt and vinegar.” Replaced with fricken “nacho-cheese-ranch-delux-supreme Lays” or some other “international generic bastardised” chip. Lays? WTF, they’re THINS !! Arrrrrggghhh!
I’ve noticed enough of these anomalies lately to go on for ages, but I know I’ll just whip myself into a frenzy. Suffice to say, if the next time you try to buy some Tim-Tams you are confronted with a wall of Oreos, don’t say I didn’t warn you…

I promise this is worth watching..
How times change…
Listen…
If you kill things for fun, there’s something wrong with you. It’s as simple as that. In 2007 there just has to be better ways to have fun than killing animals just for kicks. Americans, I’m talking to you, that’s right, I’m going to generalise and you know what? I feel ok about it.
“Sport” hunting is everywhere, including here in oz, but having spent a lot of time in the U.S over the last few years, it’s nothing compared to the sick culture you people have going there. Don’t get me wrong, the United States are awesome and guns are just plain fun, I’ve owned a few over the years, and I still have one, but the thought of shooting an animal dead in it’s natural habitat for fun just makes my blood boil. So grow up you fuckers. Get a hobby (or a life) and shoot for precision or clay for reflexes or whatever you need to do to feel like a man.
Drive your “truck” out into a field somewhere throw random fun stuff up in the air and try to blast it with a Sig Sauer P229 before it lands. Be creative. I’m sure your girl (or sister) will think you’re sexy as hell, but killing animals for sport just makes you a little bitch-ass pussy in my eyes, and yes, I would be more than happy to discuss this in person.
Fuck you very much.
Flame on.
