So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Yes indeed, the companions drive me up the wall just as much! The NZ accent is certainly interesting. Aussies get a laugh out of trying to get them to say six. It always comes out as sex. "Would you like five?" "No, I want sex." Childish, but fun. I'm not up on their slang, but I know they call...- Benny Holiday

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
My pet hate is "If I had of . . ." instead of "if I had've . . ." when people write. The Australian accent is well known for having lost any trace of the rhotic 'r' sound way back in the Colonial past, but I wasn't aware just how pronounced our accents sound until my first trip to the States...- Benny Holiday

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
A very valid point HJ. The tusks weren't just there for the fun of it, they clearly served a purpose for the animal. Imagine the boffins spending ludicrous billions of dollars to "breed" and release tuskless mammoths into the wild only for them to be dead three months later because they had no...- Benny Holiday

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
One of the most deceitful falsehoods pushed by certain agenda-driven groups. Even with only my year 12-level science education, I can work out that cows don't magically produce methane out of nothing. The carbon dioxide is absorbed into the grass they eat via photosynthesis, so it starts off in...- Benny Holiday

JC Pennys 1950s?Leather Jacket?
@Todd Allen (if he's still around) the FL began as a place for people interested in vintage topics associated with the Golden Era, mostly the 40s-mid 50s though going into times peripheral to that also. People joined to discuss their passion and knowledge about old movies, hats, WWII history...- Benny Holiday

JC Pennys 1950s?Leather Jacket?
Some creeps think the FL is just here for their convenience. Like a free quote with your coffee and donut, sir? A free evaluation on your "grandfather's heirloom" perhaps? This gives me the sh*ts.- Benny Holiday

Oumuamua
I wouldn't believe anything the mainstream media puts out anymore. They're nothing more than government shills pushing whatever agenda they're paid to. About a year and half ago here in Sydney, after all the coronavirus shenanigans when public trust in the government and the media was at an...- Benny Holiday

Eastman Leather B3 1937 thoughts
Greetings from Liverpool Australia to Liverpool England! Looks to me like you couldn't do better with either the fit or the look of that B3. Possibly the best I've ever seen (IMO).- Benny Holiday

The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.
Not party pooping at all TT. Years ago, wolves were moved out of Yellowstone National Park, and the entire ecosystem ended up on the verge of collapse. When the animals were finally reintroduced, the park started to flourish again. And these 'scientists' reckon they want to reintroduce tens of...- Benny Holiday

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
There's a coffee table leg in my living room I'm sure goes out of its way to connect with people's feet in a most violent and unnecessary manner. It's managed to attack every member of the household on more than one occasion, and has indeed broken toes several times. It is a nefarious and...- Benny Holiday

Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?
The climate is very similar to California. If you get out this way for a holiday, let me know, I'll show you around all the best spots. The far north coast of New South Wales is like Hawaii, but since characters with names like Hemsworth moved to Byron Bay it's way overcrowded with tourists and...- Benny Holiday

Is it me or has it become harder to sell things on Classifieds or anywhere else?
When I was a kid in 70s, my parents used to buy new furniture on hire purchase. Even at the ages of 7 and 8, I had the sensibility that the colours were garish: dark wooden dining table, bright orange Namco chairs, lime green curtains. My Mum still had her old 1960 rocket-ship Mixmaster in...- Benny Holiday
