One of my Grandmothers would only refer to the small room as the "water closet". Should wouldn't hear of it being referred to as something so crass as "toilet". I always found that really funny.

My Grandmother called underpants your "smalls". Always had to hang your small on the inside of the clothesline with your other clothes surrounding it so nobody could see them.

Always use to ask her if fat people still called them smalls or if they called them larges. She never found it as funny as my brother and I did.
 
WC used everywhere in Europe, took me a while to figure out what a WC was

Wonder what the shorthand of the squatty potty in Asia is? Couldn't believe my eyes the first time I transited through a major Asian airport and I had to squat to poop and hose my but off, an absolute foreign notion. I understand why they put up infographics in western toilets for travellers on how to toilet. Our eastern brothers should return the favour.
 
Drunk families and Grand Final shows

Watching the Grand Final with family members who rarely watch a game so you have to give a running commentary.

"Why did he do that?"
"Why was that a free kick?"
"What are those big sticks for?"

I wonder how Ablett is feeling about his god now, he's backed the wrong team if she busts his shoulder and lets a heathen like Dusty run amok. Also Dangerfield still being premiership free is too funny.

To be honest I would have been happy for Danger to win and even god botherer Ablett if it meant that three of the biggest grubs the game has ever seen in Lynch Grimes and Cotchin lost.
 
Pay ridiculous amounts of money to stink and get cancer. Good deal. :thumbsu:
I'm an addict. I only smoke about five a day these days and I really enjoy them, far more than when I was smoking twenty five a day.
 
When I was in high school, I reckon it was about $1.80 for a pack - or it was about $1.20 for the easy to hide PJ 15's.

In the same era, it was about $6.90 for a 6 pack of Carlton.

These days, about $20 for a 6 pack of Carlton and as per Gough's above, $40 for a pack of darts. That's a pretty significant tax increase.

I've also been told that there's now a pretty thriving black market for durries if you know which shop and what phrase to use that I don't believe existed a few decades ago. Tough habit to afford if you're addicted these days. $1200 a month for a pack a day smoker

(circa late '80's in a country area where they weren't big on asking for ID)

It was also hugely different socially, my high school had a smoking room at it's formal. You were legal to smoke at sixteen and they figured, probably correctly that it was safer than having people go in and out all the time.

Yep - my senior school had a smoking area in the yard for the students to use. You needed a note from your parents though!

It was just something you were allowed to do, no questions asked, when you were 16 or older.

Being Rhodesian it was pretty much compulsory to start smoking over there when your plums dropped but my old man gave up in his twenties and became maniacally anti smoking. Mum still smoked back then and many years later admitted she wasn't that displeased when I took it up because there was at least another smoker in the house for him to grumble about.
 
We have got to recoup all the costs the people that are stupid enough to smoke put on the health system, if I was running the country they would cost $100.

Need to apply that same formula to alcohol as well
