Charity is beautiful... Yesterday at the annual Good Friday Appeal the beautiful people of Victoria raised $18, 043,251 for our Children's Hospital.. Go the mighty V. Crowning

I hear they like to eat lap elephants which is why they are so hard to get. If the moons a balloon how can it be made if cheese?

@jillar.... That's field hockey, not ice... But they do have awesome spicy food...and I don't think they eat bunnies.

OK.. @Sslip just checked the weather channel good and bad news ... Rain expected every day until Thursday but trmp will be 27-29 °C ..... Nice an humid... 30 day forcast shows only 2 other days with rain.

Oh.. If the yanks don't wanna ve left out you could pick an honorary country to root for (like my awesome use of american.. I love my country but still not gunna root for it)... Australia would be a supper awesome option cos, well ... Straya!... England & Scotland do well on the track... India does well in hockey and shooting and weight lifting... The Africans do well in track and distance events.

Let's start with an explanation for those not subject to her Majesty's rule... The Commonwealth Games (Comm Game) are like the Olympics but just for Commonwealth countries...you Americans can't play because you had a war and kicked the POM's out.. But the Sth Africans can...we're not sure why.. In the olden days it was called the Empire Games but WWII or George Lucas made us change that name. Its held every 4 years and this year its in Brisbane, QLD... Or Brisvegas. Some of the sports are different cos well we know how awesome they are but noone else had caught on. Oh and Great Brittain does not compete, the 4 countries that make up Great Brittain compete as themselves so there are no union jacks.. For some interesting history, the last time the comm games were in Brissy (aka Brisvegas) the USA sent a team because they had boycotted the 1980 Moscow Olympics but that was one off, cold war special offer... Ya won frickin everything so we didn't ask ya back. Now we've caught the Sepos up... Let's have at it... Sledge or brag to ts hearts content.

True... In comparison to the motherland (shlt that was grandma S Rollin in her grave) ... Um you do know its still cyclone season so they may be rain... And floods...but should be good.. Let me check fox...omg its time for a comm games thread... There will be boxing kangaroos at the opening ceremony

Omg are you frickin serious... Have to show me dad that.

True...even when its delusional like the statement above. The rest of the Comma will trust the Aussies not to cheat cis only cricket us shamed?¿

Hotpot

Dunno, I checked, but do you think I have BO?

@bakon I'm trying to be discrete to spare Reci's feelings, but Pork Chop brings home the bacon for me now ... And that's helped my quit by putting a smile on me dial. @Rozuki thanks... I love your nopes, they kept me going in the early days over there. A jaffle us like a toasted sandwich only a 1000 times better... The edges of the bread get crimped together making a pocket full of goodness.. I have an electric machine but I also still have an old school jaffle iron that you use over a fire or stove top... You get a bigger pocket to fill with the old school ones... You can put in baked beans and cheese or any left overseas...here is a picture of one made with left over chilli con carne

Orange blossom Turkish delight

Omg have you seen my neighbours, out the windi across the street us close enough. How can salt be kosher and why us it better?

Eating passion fruit Turkish delight and drinking coffee... Hold onto ya horses bots an girls.

Are you ready for this... I smoked the cheapest brand and a 40 pack would last me 1.5 to 2 days... When I quit a pack cost me $38.90 at the tobby ... 65% of that is taxes... Just checked the other day (cos I wanted to prove to myself u could walk into a Toby and not buy... and I didn't even want to) and my cheap ar5e floor sweeping brand if durries was $42 per pack 40... Now that's Aussie dollars but if I was still smoking that would be about $650 per month on just me... So in real world money that's is: US $499.36 UK £355.89 € 405.18 Canadian $ 643.97 (just for Reci) Per frickin month...where the frucking is it??.. Oh wait, the kid has fancy shoes, and new uniforms not second hand, and take out dinner once a week... Steaks for dinner instead of snags and mince. OMFG... Just realised I haven't had 2 minute noodles for dinner since December.

Damper with butter and jam around the campfire with a good pot of billy tea.
