Social Science Things that please me - Part 3

I think i can get dual.

My dad was born in Greece.

I think the process is you just rock up to the Greek embassy with a crate of Ouzo and a 50.

Fakelaki or fakellaki is the phonetic transliteration of the Greek word φακελάκι.
It means "little envelope" but is also used in Greek popular culture as a jargon term referring to the bribery of public servants and private companies by Greek citizens in order to "expedite" service.
[1] According to this practice, sums of money are stuffed in files and passed across the desk to secure appointments, documents approval and permits.[2]

Rain

rain glorious rain

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I got some too, more to come tomorrow apparently

 

[Billy ray]

10mm so far and counting hoping to get 50mm at least.
I did go check my first flush units and one was broken so had to dona quick fix to not lose potentially 1/3 of any rain. Also cleaned the mesh covers as they were half blocked with fine dust that basically stops water going thru

We got heaps
I had rivers running down my block and my small tank went from ankle high to full .
I dont have a measure but it takes 100 plus mill to do stuff like that.
I slept through it but wife said she was frightened by how much noise the rain was making on the roof,way more than normal ??
BOM site says only10 MM ??? (unless it wasnt updated yet),,,no way 10 mm does that much landscaping

So yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Took me six pairs to find some I liked and then of course they were the most expensive but they're still a 30" waist and my arse looks great in them.

Amazing picture....Canada is so much more panoramic & pleasing to the eye than Oz....Such a shame it's just so damn cold over there.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Nah. Australia has some amazing scenery too. Two thirds of Canada is flat prairie and tundra.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Also, west coast isn’t cold. Visit in spring or summer if that’s holding you back from visiting.

I'll raise you deserts, Mallee scrub, dry river-beds & saltbush.
