Hanging around inland from the Gulf of Carpentaria. Lookin to head back south though after some light strengthening given proximity to the gulf, but not much else. If it headed back out, reintensification to a cyclone would be likely, but that looks doubful.

Good lord that's hilarious, all the Catholic schools around me went co-Ed over ten years ago, no one cared.

My high school (all boys for 100 years prior, state school) went coed when I was in year 10, but they only phased in year 7s and 8s, so I never really had much interaction with girls the whole time. Can't recommend it, I've been a bit weird ever since

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yeah I’m well aware it’s from 20 years ago, but I don’t think there’s a statute of limitations on being a corrupt fuckwit

And besides, if Newington taught him the values he’s worried they will lose, maybe they won’t teach the girls that corruption is okay! Not sure that’s a bad thing…

Thats such an easy stint. Just drop a handful of roofies on the way in, you should have enough time before they kick in to find out what you got up to last weekend before it's Monday and you're sweet until your next due for an update on your time inside.

Found some interesting pics around the development of the EK Holden.



The trim designs were varied. Some made it to actual presentation models.





Others stayed on paper.







The EK wasn't actually planned, but a stop-gap between the FB and EJ, the latter of which was in development earlier than the EK...

"This photo, taken late 1958, captures left to right, the new FC, the FB in almost final form and the EJ prototype lined up for a senior manager’s styling review."


I'll do EJ next.

Speaking of piss.

Is Fosters really that bad? Like I get that its (to Australians) cheap domestic piss, but is it as bad as I've heard?

I'm in Canada so something like Molson Canadian or Labatt Blue is considered the cheap domestic piss, but every bar serves one or both so its very widespread.

They're not the worst beers I've ever had. Also far from the best but its cheap, plentiful and gets you drunk.

I had a Fosters once in a little bar in Coolangatta, it was fine, pretty light compared to rough as guts Tooheys or VB. Not as light as XXXX though, that's getting close to lemonade.

I don't think I've seen it for sale in twenty something years mate. Pretty much nobody drinks it, and anyone who does is pretty unlikely to admit it. Cheap domestic piss is already well covered but varies depending on which state you're in.

Can you tell whether someone's from a good or poo poo part of canada based on whether they order molsons or labatt etc?

SUCK A MALE CAMEL'S DICK WITH MIRACLE WHIP!!
I don't really drink much beer in the last few years, mostly rum and whatever diet cola product the bar sells so I don't pay much attention to it.
Theres still tons of people that drink the cheap domestics. Including Budweiser and Coors even though they're "imports" because they're American brands. But Molson and Labatts are both owned by giant multi nationals so the lines are somewhat blurred.

The lines between good parts and bad parts of Canada based on beer brands consumed is kinda blurry though. Craft beer is popular as is premium type beer. Lots of lovely bars will have a bunch of alleged "fancy beer"*** on tap because it sells enough to make it worth their while. I'm sure are tons of skids that like their craft or other premium beer while I (who doesn't consider myself a skid, though also not upper class by any stretch) will typically order a Molson Canadian when I do drink beer just out of habit. When I was underage that was what I'd order because it was the first thing that came to mind when I was trying to get served. I figured the sooner I ordered something, the less time the bar tender would have to scrutinize my age, if it looked like I kew what I was doing and all that.

***Stuff like Stella Artois, Heineken and Becks for example we consider fancy, but from most accounts I've heard from people from those countries, its their cheap domestic piss.

I guess the TL;DR is, no, its kinda hard to tell, at least in my experience.

If I remember correctly Foster's is our cheap as piss *export* beer. As others have said it doesn't get sold much locally.

It's brewed under license down here, same as Asahi, Guiness, Beck's and Kirin

Exploration is ill-advised.
Foster's used to be a lot more common around the 90s I think, but nowadays it's almost disappeared.

Outback Steakhouse on the other hand is completely alien here. I think they opened up a few some years go and they died quickly. No one has any loving idea what a Bloomin Onion is supposed to be.

There was one within delivery distance of me when I lived in Sydney. I ordered once and it's ridiculously overpriced garbage. TBH it's mostly on me for ordering a home delivered steak and expecting anything other than what I got.
