Kookaburra!!

Nice one Tricia!

Follow up: I really don’t like ‘bird’ when referring to the fairer sex, either. But I’m strangely okay with ‘chick’ … I’m sure I’ll come a cropper for that admission!

[Leon Della Bosca]

I can’t believe this didn’t get a response! Annoying slang? Favourite slang? C’mon cobbers!!

I’ll start. I hate the word ‘sheila’ so that gets my vote for most annoying/

I use ‘crikey’ all the time and every time I say it I feel like I should be in a newspaper comic strip. I started using it when I had to cut back on sweat words in front of the littl’un.

So ‘crikey’ is probably my favourite.

We’ll get Drew on the case, Bullfright!

Good one. I’m of the school that, assuming I live a good life, once I’m gone it won’t affect me. It’s the effect I have on my loved ones that matters. That’s your legacy.

I used to get (and still do, every now and then, to tell the truth) really sad about what would happen when I die. How much I would miss. But I won’t. Because I’ll be dead. I’d like to think I will be missed (in a good way), and that will only happen if my actions while alive matter and make a difference to those I leave behind.

TBH, you could talk about this one for days. I’m super keen to see what our members think about this one.

[Leon Della Bosca]

Yeesh – seems I swing both ways!

Still, it’s maddening how many studies there are that claim alcohol is good/bad. I wish we could have consensus so I know how many beers I can have each week!

[Leon Della Bosca]

Lucky you! I haven’t had any trouble finding my favourite chips (so far)

Hi Jem,
Sorry to hear of your issues with Centrelink. We have dealings with the staff and with Hank, the GM, and have always found them good to deal with. i think they have the best of intentions, but it is always going to be an uphill battle managing hundreds of thousands of customers. Which parts of the system do you find particularly onerous? Maybe we can help?

Has anyone here seen this movie?

About a bunch of prisoners who embrace the beauty of weeds and turn them into an award-winning garden. Very cool…

[Leon Della Bosca]

I’ve used Slasher, too, but you really have to get the mixture right. I err on the side of stronger, because there have been a couple of times where the ‘right-on’ mixture hasn’t been enough to kill the weeds.
The only way to get rid of them is to dig them up. But then there are some you dig up and it only makes it worse!

My favourite Kmart products are the t-shirts!

Hi Doug,
It is a shame that the forum has lost ‘oomph’ but it’s passionate members like yourself who could play a big part in bringing it back. We’re open to suggestions as to what it will take to make it lively community. The YLC team is trying to provide good topics to talk about but it’s a member forum and that’s who we need to breathe new life back into this area of the site.
Feel free to email us with suggestions or to make them on this thread. Same goes for anyone else who’s willing to share opinions!
Thanks for your feedback and we hope you stick around.

I love baking. I wonder if eating bakery goods has a similar effect? 😉

Hi Stuart,
I would recommend talking to the team at Retirement Essentials – tell them we sent you!

[Leon Della Bosca]

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for reaching out. Without getting into the realm of ‘advice’ it would seem that if your wife is earning money and is not of pension age, then you may well be receiving the right pension. Having said that, I would suggest you contact a Services Australia Financial Information Service Officer who will be able to answer your specific question.
Hope that helps!

Hi RnR – we have visuals!

[Leon Della Bosca]

Surprised ‘Justified’ isn’t on this list. A lot of filler in this top 100, IMO.
