Great Southern Lands (Australia & NZ...)

Vale Merle.

Women weren’t allowed to drink in bars up thru the 1960s?

[spike]

Australia’s behind the times in lots of ways. Seems to be catching up some though.

[Higgs]

Behind you say? Hmmm...

"Right up until 1970 in Queensland, it was prohibited to serve women alcohol in the public bar. Women could get a drink in the ladies lounge or beer garden — albeit at a higher cost — but the public bar was the men's domain."

Actually, I just watched this and yep, we are waaay behind. No idea why I suddenly had a moment of nostalgia for my father's era of misogyny...

And one of your public is molesting me while I speak to you. Sir could you please remove your hand!
- It's no my hand, it's just my finger!
Well could you please remove your finger

[wease]

Wow. That guy that was defending the women had tremendous tobacco stains on his fingers. I’ve only seen that one other time and that lady smoked 3 packs a day.

Yep. Some real shit right there. But I accept literally a different time.

Makes me remember old mate here. Jack Karlson only recently passed away. Deserves his place in this thread. "I see you know your judo well".

"a succulent Chinese meal" and "and you sir, are you waiting to receive, my limp penis?" always kill me.

About to head out for lunch at a Morrocan (!) place we've never tried. My only request was that I don't have to think about anything - everything ordered for me.

Then it will be home for a bit of front yard tidy up (with beers) and probs taking the dog down the park to chase the tennis ball around a bit.

[coptheriotact]

what was ordered for you?

[Higgs]

Cheese Cigars Spinach & fetta filled filo pastry rolls. Served with tzatziki dip.

Mushroom Hara (vegan) Mushrooms cooked in herbs and spices. Drizzled with tahini and pomegranate.

Merguez Sausages -CHEF RECOMMENDS- Lamb and special spices makes this one of the tastiest sausages around. Served with tzatziki dip.

Iskander Kofta Lamb & beef kofta kebab topped with spicy tomato ragu and onion.

Mixed Seafood Tapas
Moroccan pepper squid, garlic prawns, salmon.

It was good but not great. Lovely little family run restaurant though. And quick and cheap. 8/10.

Do Australian males wear deodorant? Everything at the shop looked like women’s.

[Ello Sailor]

Should be able to get Rexona, Dove MEN and Nivea MEN at the supermarket. Not sure about Tesla driver deodorants though.

[Ello Sailor]

Might have to import some Old Spice.

[spike]

i picked up some rexona at wooly's. just not used to men's roll-ons coming in the dainty women's sizes.

Might have to import some Old Spice.

one of my best buds - we've been old spice bros since high school - offered to ship me some.
