I love a cashless society, what happened at Macca's happened to me numerous time in Australia in the last 60years... once I even tried unsuccessfully to return a $50.-note when expecting a $5.-note at a chemist in the city!!! the cash register was shared with other assistants and the one I...

To the many Aussies who come back from France telling me... but the people were really nice... I reply : I know you, you were polite and they responded in kind (contrary to those who "bark" at us in English, louder and louder ... most of us are not deaf:ROFLMAO:)

Being French I'll have to refrain to make a comment on that Australian weirdo :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:, However when in Japan, asking direction for a "Big Buddha"in Kamakura I received blank looks, was ignored... Decided to put my brains into gear and remembered they call it Daibutsu...

As I have said if you insist on satanism no reasonable explanation will change your mind... It is Ok,. The explanation of the origiinal meaning is for people who misconstrued the meaning unintentionnally and thus realise that it actually looks a lot more like Dyonisus than Jesus for example...

well people have to make up their mind: are we wrong to keep our money for our kids to inherit...ie wealth inheritance, or should we spend like mad and not thinking about our poor offsprings who cannot buy a house... Government rules ensure that if we give them money when we are alive we will be...

flat white double shot is the closest to my French café au lait... ie not watered down...some places automatically "double shot"the coffee, others dont...If in doubt I ask and occasionnally I am told tersely...we always double shot our flat white:)

never owned one, but had to sleep on one at a friend place... I got seasick and ended up sleeping on the floor... needless to say it was off my shopping list

the other day in Sydney I saw a Polestar taxi... yes an EV

most likely, and felt that he had "bought"her

She was right. It was a red flag: he showed her who was the boss and he was rough, and her wishes were irrelevant. Did not augur well for the relationship in other respects

Not so bad now that they use electric bicycles, were a shocker when they had motorcycles that left deep marks on the kerb lawn
