Red and Blue and the best

Red and Blue and the best

Slight correction but this should actually read "Red are blue and the best"

Proper Gander will confirm this for me.

 

[netslave]

This is the thread the Bulldogs should be worried about, not the other one.

 

[Proper Gander]

Did you eat a dictionary for breakfast?

No. I had multigrain corn thins with promite and cottage cheese, half and orange cut into 8ths, a berocca with two paracetamol and an expresso shot

 

[Proper Gander]

Not sure about that ... because 'red and blue' is the combination of those colours, and not those colours individually. And is therefore singular.

Is there an English (language) professor in this group who can give an opinion?

Can be both.

So it can be red and blue are awesome colours, or the red and blue jumper is awesome

oh dear

OK then, I'll see myself out

It happens to the best of us. It just triggered flashbacks to my uni bartending days and the run of 'expresso martinis' we'd have to make each Friday/Saturday night

I made a promise to myself that I haven't broken as yet to get up and walk out of any coffee shop where there is anything along the lines of "bubba-chino" on the menu. It makes me cringe.

On the other hand, I have a soft spot for those unbelievably terrible coffee places that you can find in the odd country town that are owned by the town joker who puts something like "Have a Cup Of Chino" on the blackboard outside. While I strangely like those places, it's best to steer clear of the coffee. Get a chocolate Dare and maybe one of those fluro vanilla slices with the texture of road paving

Whereabouts do you hike? Going to be moving close to the You Yangs soon so definitely keen to go for more hikes soon.

YY's are great for a hike but even better for mountain biking. Rangers hut/Currajong side is good for beginners or for longer rides and Stockyards is great for all types of riders up to expert/double blacks.

Did you end up going for Lara?

 

[Crimson Azure]

Lara was a meme when I was in high school , used to give mates who lived there s**t, we use to say it was just upper class Corio.

I always thought Norlane was just as bad.

I did the same with Spotswood, Newport and Yarraville when I lived in Williamstown. And what's an 'Altona?' Thats where to poor people lived. They had the last laugh.

Mother lived in Wheelers Hill and the kids from my school that travelled up from Scoresby were laughed at too. Median price there these days is around 1 mil.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Ocean Grove.

Now that town is a meme also.

Lived there for a year around 1980.

Genuine shithole now, all the Melbourne people moving down there have ruined it and Barwon Heads

 

[Crimson Azure]

Geelong side in the estate. Move in round September.

Grand Lakes? We are looking at a couple of houses in there. Man some people overvalue their properties. Looking at one place that's only on 560sqm, It's a large house but they want $870-950.

Really? And yet try finding anything under 1 million that isn't a unit.

Haven't really been there since I was young. Had family in Geelong on Bellarine St and lived for a while across the road from Kardinia Park, so that was about as far as I went unless I was going down to Torquay or the coast.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Used to love how all the coastal towns were separated by nature growing up , now there is less nature every time you go back there, campaigners just building over the top of it. Thats what I loved about Lorne, far enough away from everything where nobody wants to yet.

Ocean Grove is basically just another Torquay now. Lost its charm completely for me.

Just coz property prices are high doesn't mean somewhere still isn't a shithole.

Un-Australian.

Sounds line a venereal disease you get from a lady of the night.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

There is something so nice about walking down a deserted street on the coast in the middle of winter and looking over the ocean with bugger all people around. You can sit there for an hour, watching and listening to the waves roll in. Makes you really appreciate where you live. I love Lorne when its freezing and nobody wants to be here.

I agree, it just highlights that people with money who don't care about the history and culture of the place buy it all up because they can. In saying that, a lot of people who were there before it was trendy are happy to cash in on the popularity of the Bellarine peninsula.

I get that feeling camping by the Murray. As a child it was going White Cliffs and staying in the old mans dugout.

My dad still lives down there, I think hes happy to die in OG. It just isn't the same place I loved growing up anymore. The country town feel is gone.

Promite is Australian, my fine Crimson friend

Promite is Australian, my fine Crimson friend

The company was founded in the 1950s by Henry Lewis & Company and sold its products under the Masterfoods brand.

The company was renamed Masterfoods Australia and New Zealand before being acquired by the Mars family’s group of enterprises in 1967.

Promite is no longer an Australian-owned food, as Mars Incorporated is a privately-owned United States firm. However, Promite is still produced and sold in Australia today.

​

The VEGEMITE brand has a history spanning over 98 years and is proudly owned by the great Australian food company – Bega Cheese Limited. Bega Cheese Limited purchased the VEGEMITE brand in 2017, returning VEGEMITE to Australian ownership for the first time in over 90 years.​
