Sicily is a beautiful. I'm missing my holidays. I don't think I'll be going back to Europe for quite a while. So depressing.

If they’re Australian records forget ancestry just go to the national archives and punch in the first and last name.

I’ve used these records before and they’re pretty easy to use, all the actual records are there I just checked again.
Ancestry have a load of information locked up and seem to be grabbing more every year which is a pain in the arse imo, public records should be open to all.

That explains your candid posting style Captain . Sicilians will tell you straight up. E.g. "Geez you've put on a lot of weight" or "that shirt looks terrible"
When I was young I rebelled against eveything Sicilian because I tried to do everything to fit in to the Australian norm. Now in my mid fifties I make passata, I have a vege garden with broadbeans, and a curing cabinet in my garage for making salami. Today I got excited because I found pork shoulder on special and I will be making 5 kg of sausages tomorrow. Yep .. I've turned into my father. If I start planting prickly pears in the front garden the transformation will be complete!

Ancestry.com is owned by the Mormons. Greedy and weird.

My eldest daughter is about to marry an Italian, Sicilian father and Sardinian mother.

I’m used to it I had a load of Italian mates growing up but five years on and my daughter is still surprised on a regular basis by what they get up too. I’m about to have a beer with him right now haha.

It's a shame Pakenham is so far. I'd drop you around an emergency supply.

My daughter got work at Dan Murphy's they cut her shifts right back because they were not able to continue the home deliveries.
Seems they were using Australia Post, and Australia Post said they wouldn't do it any more.

how much do you sensor your adds.
If it obscene or similar,...no you don't approve it.
If it has a different opinion to the management of facebook?

Sorry not facebook's place to determine if it is covid19 misinformation.

They were things like "drink bleach to stop Covid" and that it's a hoax. I think if they are approving stuff that should ring alarm bells.

I have just been reading about the symptoms of food allergies and I'm not convinced. Following the Saints can also cause all these symptoms
1. Depression. Usually descends after Round 10, when I have to come to terms with the fact we are rubbish again.
2. Brain Fog. This happens after most games. I sit there and think "what the fcuk just happened.
3. Fatigue. Yep. Getting tired of us going nowhere!
4. Joint Pain. Usually my elbow from having to smash down 30 beers while watching a game.
5. Anxiety. Hell yeah. Mention Patty Ryder and Robbie Gray and I'm close to a panic attack.
6. Weight gain. See point 4.
7. Muscle aches. Usually my gluts because my date hole tightens up at the start of every game.
8. Constipation. See point 7.
9. Bloating. Refer to point 4 above.
10. Food cravings. The 30 beers are usually washed down with chips, cheese and kabana
11. Inability to lose weight. See point 10 above.
Maybe I'm allergic to the Saints

Upvoted for Brain Fog.

In Fiji growing up we used to say ‘nut foggy’ when referring to people suffering said affliction. And you’re right supporting the Saints does lead to excessive nut fogginess.

Hrmm lets see, I check off 1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 11. List checks out.

8 is clearly wrong though, less constipation and more laxative effect, what with goal kicking giving the shits in general, leading to then 9 as a bloating of behinds due to said shit being expunged in goal kicking. Then again, I never expect we're a chance, curse of the 80's.
