I tried Aldi as soon as they arrived in Sydney being sick and tired of the ColesWorth duopoly... Only once did i utter "I dont expect that from a German company" and the matter was quickly resolved... I also shop at Coles, Woolworth and IGA depending on where I am at a particular time...but the...

Australians have a problem with freedom of choice, it is ok to choose to speed and kill people, but heaven forbids if you mention they have no so called freedom of choice when it comes to go to vote which is compulsory... I would prefer the so called freedom of choice to be reversed. I currently...

Another cultural shock from a Parisian Arriving in Australia from Paris (where your laundry was picked up at your door and delivered back freshly ironed within 48h max), we rented a flat in a brand new building and was shown, to my shock and horror, a "gas copper" in the laundry (first and...

never was... I was one of those pretty good with figures... most shop assistants hopeless

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...

I am glad you got it... how could anyone see Jesus in there baffles me:D

The so called Last Supper was Greek bacchanals and Dyonisus- (this one I find difficult that they took him for Jesus in the Last Supper , to be honest)- , the horse on the Seine was not apocalyptic but the representation of the goddess Sequana which gave its name to the river,,, Understandable...

no one force you to shop anywhere, do whatever you like. I still hate those places where you queue and you have to tell shop assistants to actually get the stuff for me (some people think they have human interraction:rolleyes:)

I never pack at Aldi, or any other place I do my shopping, nor do I take bags with me ( which stay in the car) (the others stores try, without success, to convince me to take their bags, they presume I have forgotten them :D ) . Shopping is quickly and efficiently shoved back in the trolley...

had those experiences with Coles some time ago, learned to only order groceries not meat or fresh vegetables/fruits... received extremely fatty meat. and they changed the type of potatoes also different apples etc., the fresh greens did not look very fresh. To top it off as apology they were...

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...

Have been using it all the time. I use the oil from tin sardines in chili oil, from feta tubs, from capsicum tubs etc. sometimes as dressings, sometimes to cook eggs...

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
