Why don't they give cricket a try? It's a pretty straightforward game, if you ask me.

Seamus Leach: Spot on mate! It's not just about shifting the date, but completely erasing it. Next, we'll see a complete overhaul of our nation's name.

All Aussies legit party on that day.

Just 'cause someone's out there in the limelight, whether they're into sports, media, or living large, doesn't give 'em the right to call the shots with their opinions.

Hey, guys, why don't you have some fun playing cricket and let the Aussies handle all this stuff? Trust me, if you knew the backstory, you'd agree that the 26th is the ultimate day to celebrate!

Steve Smith and Pat Cummins better stick to their game of cricket. 26th January has always been Aus Day, mates, so quit messin' around and leave it as it is, no need for alterations.

Fair dinkum mate, alls I gotta say is I've been livin' here for nearly 86 years and it's always been the 26th of January, ya know? If ya go ahead and change it, reckon youse fellas will stick around when some other young bloke rocks up wantin' to flip history 'round in a few years? So, how 'bout ya ... View More

The 26th of Jan should stay chill, cuz that's when Aus got its own flag and we ditched those British Passports for real travel. We made major moves to break free from Britain, man!

Yo, peep this issue, even if we switched up the date, it ain't gonna matter. If you hear what they're sayin', it ain't really about the date, it's about the whole idea. They straight up don't think Aus is worth celebratin', so they gonna Protest no matter what day it is.

What’s a sand sculpture pun?
During my early reading days, I owned a storybook about the seaside... I was puzzled as to why there were sandwiches made of sand while people enjoyed their picnic!
Well there you go
Crikey, another clash of the food enthusiasts! Down under, we've got our fair share of culinary disputes too. Take the chili con carne debacle - some prefer it with beans, while others reckon it's beans-free. Then there's the ongoing tussle between Chicago and New York pizza, and don't even get me s...

Can you please give me back all the kiwis, especially Russel Crowe?
If we initiate hostilities, it would be extremely detrimental as they have already managed to infiltrate our country, particularly in critical areas such as transportation and vital services.
I had reservations about beginning, but once I took your lessons seriously, I felt joyous. In the end, I obtained excellent outcomes. Thank you immensely, sir.
It's simply a kind of meringue, not impressive unless you're a KIWI.
Aussies totally came up with the Pavlova, while Kiwis owned the game with the Puvlova.
Give it to them, those poor things have to reside in New Zealand.
I don't give a toss who came up with it first - I'm just mad grateful someone did.
Let 'em have their cake. We ain't giving up financial success and wealth.
A donation is a donation right ?!?!?
The organizations should no longer be referred to as "Charities" because their pricing on clothing indicates that they function more like businesses. In a town where there are numerous homeless and individuals facing financial difficulties, there is a greater need for donations of furniture and clot... View More
Prices at vinnies have skyrocketed now and they're definitely being selective about what they accept as donations. The Salvation Army is doing the same thing. When I gave them all of my mom's clothes and perfectly good pajamas, they insisted on going through each of the six huge bags at my house. I ... View More
I ceased donating to Vinnies a while ago! Now, I donate to my local Salvos and they appreciate it. However, I only give items that are clean, neatly folded, and sorted into different bags according to their size and category, such as sheets, blankets, clothes, shoes, etc.
I've seen lots of people who "volunteer" and damn, they dress so fancy and rockin' designer bags... shout out to Vinnies!
The floor receives items that volunteers and paid staff don't want or that offer better bonuses.
I gave away a queen size bed and almost new, clean mattress on Marketplace, and a nice couple quickly took it. Some people say that these charities only accept items that they can sell for a high price.
I'm not gonna support or buy from those big charity chains, they're all about making money. The poor can't afford that.
When I toss clothes, they're basically not good enough to sell anymore. So, I suppose if some people are throwing away nearly new clothes, they're not struggling as much as portrayed on social media.
Discover additional nearby charities in your region, including shelters dedicated to women or men. These organizations typically depend solely on donations and will accept items that are clean and free from stains. Large charities nowadays operate with profit in mind due to their significant expense... View More
All of the charities, including Vinnies, have rejected good items from me. I donate clothes to bins but leave the rest for council cleanup.
There is no problem, they simply aim to maximize profits for their community programs and inspect bags immediately due to the constant need to dispose of unusable items dumped on them.
Vinnies has become quite pricey these days, but you can now score a new jumper at Lowe's for half the price. Back in the day, going to Vinnies was always exciting to find great deals, but it's not the same anymore.
The high prices and preferential treatment for staff make it truly unfortunate.
Unfortunately, occasionally we receive donations that are unsuitable due to being damaged or filthy. While working at an op shop, I noticed some people used it as a means to dispose of their rubbish, such as dirty nappies and filthy underwear. Despite this, I continue to donate good quality items th... View More
All charities are picky about what furniture they take because they gotta follow health and safety rules, ya know?
Many people rush to judge, and I believe many people see charities as a place to unload unwanted items, possibly due to external pressures.
I participate in a fun-filled activity - volunteering at an Op shop. Our role involves sorting through donations, some of which are in poor condition or dirty. However, we make an effort to clean and repair items that can be salvaged. Additionally, we repurpose non-wearable clothing by turning them ... View More
I wouldn't let my dog sleep on dirty, stained, and ripped donations; throw them out instead of donating them.
I once strolled into a quirky second-hand shop to browse, and I couldn't believe the prices resembled those in a trendy boutique. Additionally, the nearby clothing donation bins were overflowing, so the act of selectivity by the shopkeepers doesn't astonish me.
The chick from Brisbane is spot on about Vinnies, ya know? They totally have a way of cherry-pickin'. They could snatch those goods and give ’em to the homeless, no doubt.
Yesterday, I dropped off some bags of donations. While assisting the Salvos employee in bringing them inside, he randomly grabbed another donation from their bin. He muttered to himself and wondered aloud, "Who donates multiple single shoes?" Nowadays, people treat thrift stores like garbage dumps. ... View More

Wow Harley Reid, you've got an amazing future ahead of you! Congrats!
Well done, Harley Reid! You've got a bright future ahead of ya!
Greetings, my friend! Have a fantastic time at WCE and enjoy yourself thoroughly.
G'day Harley, welcome to the nest! It's been on the cards for 6 months and now everything is bloody ripper!
He'll bounce back to Melbs in season 25, mate. It's a real Vic tradition.
Just knuckle down and give it your all, mate, and aim to improve each day. Best of luck, young fella.
Darcy Wilson going to St Kilda is a solid move for that pick... He's got some serious midfield talent and a beautiful footy kick.
Come on Mitch you can be better then that
Perhaps Indians should consume bag cement to toughen up a bit.
The World Test Championship trophy is a dope foot rest as well.
Forget about it, it's ridiculous how easily people get offended.
I'm thinking they can do whatever the hell they want with their trophy, man!
He had to kick back and save his energy, because he was aware that the Aussies were going to have a massive night of partying after yet another incredible win against India!
OMG. You receive exclusive backstage footage and then express dissatisfaction about it.
Maybe we should check out the little fit the Indian team threw.
Chill dude who I reckon brings a whole lot of fun to this crew.
It's just constant criticism. There are so many unhappy folks about!
Is November to early to put up the Christmas tree ?.. Asking for a friend
Yeah, it's kinda early. I absolutely love Christmas, but yeah, it's too soon for me. December 1st is when it feels just right, I think.
I think December 1st is the perfect time for Christmas, a little too early before that.
The tree goes up either on December 1st or the first weekend of December.
I pitch in with my folks to deck the halls for Christmas on Turkey Day.
Dec. 1st is lit for me, I'm all about that Christmas vibe!!!
Yeah, December 1st is when people typically start putting up their Christmas trees, but everyone has their own preferences, right?
In short, Christmas used to be celebrated in the first week of December when I was young, but now they start putting decorations up too early in November.
I'll be packing up the Halloween decor today and then focusing on my birthday this Saturday. Starting next week, I'll be organizing Christmas decorations, starting with the tree.
