    Australia can't believe they voted No

    One of the most divisive issues was the seemingly ’us and them’ outlook that was broadcast by the No campaign. Also the fact that senior Indigenous figures like Warren Mundine and Jacinta Price amongst others, rejected a change to the constitution, partially that the same individuals...

    Any older posters gone back to Motorbikes after a break.?

    After a long time out I bought a Triumph Bonneville T100 about 3 months ago. Absolutely love riding it, especially since we get such great weather here in Western Australia. Won't be riding in the 40+ degrees days, but now (Spring) is beautiful. My eldest (23) went and bought himself a Royal...

    ADHD in adults

    Haha, yup. I'm a bit better with the blurting out, or 'calling it what it is' now. Same, can't sit still, unless binge watching Netflix or the like, or engrossed in something, book, uni work etc.

    ADHD in adults

    Love the criticism bit, I've been the same. We (as a company) are big on feedback, so it's always painful to get negative, or what I perceive as negative. However, I do go out of my way to ask for feedback, still nips a bit if it's not positive (I suppose most of us don't like negative...

    ADHD in adults

    @NoloBoro yup, sleep has always been a problem. I fell asleep no problem, then woke in the early hours, and it was 'game on' for my brain. Countless scenarios, home situations, work stuff, sports, whatever and most or all of it keeping me awake. Spending my life constantly tired, but that being...

    ADHD in adults

    Hi, I was diagnosed at the start of this year, I'm now 53, so had spent 52 and a half years on this planet with it and not known. My eldest was diagnosed just before Christmas and when I looked into it, I had most of the traits. I'd never gave it a second thought. I like a lot of people thought...

    England ladies were magnificent !

    The media here (Western Australia & nationally) were getting a bit carried away I thought, lots of bulling the Matildas up, Sam Kerr blah blah, we beat them 2-0 earlier this year, massive crowd etc. They were not really giving England any chance in my opinion. The commentary followed the same...

    Are mullets making a comeback?

    Big resurgence in mullets here in Australia, mind you, it IS the land fashion forgot…

    Huge day of rugby

    Just back from the England v Wallabies game, here in Perth. Quite a poor performance I thought, England didn’t make their early dominance count and Farrell was poor off the tee. The Wallabies played well, after a few seasons of mediocrity. Positives for me were the subs and the young players...

    Animal Farm

    I've just looked at The Golden Smog basketball kit via their FB page, very good. We have friends here who are Spanish and their Mum and Dad love the Clapton kit. Their family (like many others) suffered under Franco. My cousin said the vibe at Clapton was excellent, he enjoyed going there. Kit...

    Animal Farm

    @Redwurzel saw your profile pic and wondered if you have seen the Clapton CFC away jersey? In the colours of the Spanish Republic with 'No Pasaran' on the back? I got my cousin to visit the ground (he lives in London) and send it over to Australia for me. You can buy online now. (if you didn't...

    That's good to know! I suppose it's all about what is good for you and your family. If that's the place to work, that's where you live, unless you're FIFO of course!

    Hi, we live north of Perth in Western Australia (about 25km north of Perth). I work with quite a few Kiwis and know lots due to the fact we're involved with rugby union here. The main takeaways I get are that it's a beautiful place to live, but the cost of living is comparable to Australia...
