Try this secret on for size! I am acquainted with a family from conservative - and racist - regional Australia. Their mother is from a large farm, and she married a man who had been allocated an ex-soldier's allotment locally. They had been married for 25 years - 25 years! And had three children, before he told her…

I have a friend who had one really, really crap year at 23. She decided to forget that year, and thereafter pretended she was a year younger than she was, "repeating" her 23rd birthday. Her friends have all played along, and I think it was very therapeutic for her!

Thanks so much for this! This American Life is an absolute star on Australian public radio!

Why is that rangers always look like really nice men and women? Is it because their work makes them nice? Or do only nice people apply for work as rangers?

Tell me about it! Australia STILL has "Coon Cheese" - and "Coon" is the bona fide name of the family that has run the business for 100 years, and they won't countenance giving it up. So - no exports.

Mamamia is a click-bait site - absolutely no moral compass. They don't give a toss. They'll be so jealous of the click stats on this article!

Yep - I've spent most of my life as a "bone and skin and bit of fat but no muscle" person. Far, far unhealthier than being fat.

Most of my 'celebrity encounters' seem to be with celebrities in their depressed phases. Spike Milligan on a seaside park bench, depressed as. Keanu Reeves in the Village - unkempt as. Kylie Minogue post cancer scare, sitting alone in a cafe, looking lonely.

I'd say that's the "Jason" generation! There are millions of 'em!

My sister's father-in-law used to gripe about people on welfare buying disposable diapers, and junk food, running that "they should be using cotton nappies and handwashing them and cooking from scratch" line. I couldn't convince him that when you're depressed you often can't cook, and wouldn't have the energy to wash…

You require to be understood to be westside? What does that mean in terms of aura damage I wonder.

What if it's always a random span of time between going to bed and falling asleep though, which is my nightly experience?

The feds reversed Canberra's gay marriage laws though! Within a week ...

In ten years? The child's behavior is pretty unbearable right now!

I notice the parents are offering this video for commercial purposes. It's just not healthy or positive to have a child so self-conscious and "performing" rudely at such a young age. He's being set up for a really bad time at school by his parents! Really, really awful footage.

Move right along, folks! Nothing to see here!

You wanna talk menstrual blood? Talk to Germaine Greer.

And apparently only ONE female director has ever been awarded "best" (Hurt Locker, 2010?)

Who funded the study?

"phlegm on the half shell" - you have on the one hand MADE MY NIGHT with this term, and on the other hand MADE ME FEEL SICK!
