Did you just make that?
yeshir.
Bloody is even better, really. You've done well, Nate. I'm proud.
the idea of having a "food drink" grosses me out a bit.

Are you talking about Milo or Tim Tams? Because, really, either way you're wrong. Until you have had the sweet taste of tim tams and Milo in your gullet you may not pass judgement.
I don't know why it's called a food drink, really. Cos it has vitamins and things in it? Who knows.
It's basically hot Ovaltine, I think?
Well, Milo is a bit different to Ovaltine or any other hot chocolate or cocoa mixture. You can have it cold or hot. It's not a powder, its chunkier. The grains (or whatever you would call them) are almost like the size of raw sugar crystals, so if you don't have it hot you get kind of a crunchy malty chocolatey bit on the top. That might sound weird/gross, but it's awesome. They make an extra malted version too. It's also great sprinkled over vanilla ice cream.
Milo looks like Chocomilk.
Panther Powder!
Sounds like some kind of chinese medicine ingredient
that said, I might have to check that stuff out. I'd love to find a Milo substitute.
I do like the malty one, Kit, and have been known to get it from time to time, just to switch things up a bit, but, in saying that, it's beginning to get increasingly harder to find around my parts. In fact, I can't remember the last time I've seen it.
But I do love the Milo cereal. And the little Milo chocolate bars. Mmmmmm.
Oh man, those Milo chocolate bars are AMAZING. They used to sell them at my highschool canteen for like, 50 cents, when all the other chocolate bars were at least $1. I never knew the reason, but I never complained!
I should've sent one with my Christmas gift. Forgot all about it. I sent Freddos, though.
Oh my god! What about when you bite each end off your Tim Tam, then suck up you Milo through it and then eat the dissolving remains of the middle of the Tim Tam. That is bliss.
That video was for real education then?
I covered that a few posts back, Sarah--posted a video, and all. And yes, blissful. Everyone should try it at least once.
Oh.
I see that now.
I'm sorry.
My aunty and her family are coming over from Geelong in a couple of weeks. And so is my uncle and his family from Townsville. It's so gonna be Kiwi vs. Aussie.
The Aussies are going to freeeeeeeeeeeze!
Me and Nat are heading over to Auckland at the end of January. Only for a day or two though. Nat scored a free cruise through her work, but the catch was that it's from Auckland to Sydney. Which, as it turned out, isn't much of a catch because she gets super cheap flights and stuff anyway. Should be fun. It'll be my first time overseas. I've gotta get my passport sorted though.
71 posts and no one is rubbing summer pics in our faces ?
It's been pissing down with rain for the last few days. It is warm though.
Hasn't really been raining here. The odd afternoon storm, of course, which is typical summer weather here. There's no photos because it's too hot to think, let alone take photos. Besides, I don't look good in shorts.
nobody really looks good in shorts, but they are a necessity for hot weather
So Australia is a country full of people trying to ignore the fact that they are all in shorts?
Basically, yeah. And trying not to notice how ugly dudes feet are when they're wearing thongs. (Of the flip-flop variety)
The plot thickens.
I look like a drug addict in summer: long, greasy hair. Whiskers. Pale skin with tattoos. Attire-wise, when I dress weather-appropriate is basically stubbies or ruggers (shorts. Short shorts), some kind of ripped up and faded shirt that's been turned into a singlet, and the mighty double pluggers (thongs, or as y'all say, flip-flops).
What a looka!
Are you trying to tell us you're back in the 70's?
I really shouldn't bwe online just now
^Drank Funk approves.
drank funk is making me post pictures in T minus something ore so minutes
Awesome.
Pretty much, yeah.
Of interest probably only to Kit and possibly Matt....
Beyond The Southern Cross (1984): "Nice Noice double compilation album of alternative / electronic / post-punk / no wave bands from Australia and New Zealand."
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OWKYIHO5
This is why we can't have nice things.
Pretty much, yeah.
Isn't that like an ongoing joke that Australia is stuck in the late 70's/early 80's?
Every time I watch an Aussie movie it seems like everyone has those awful 80's hairdo's...It's kinda like parts of the U.S. that are stuck in horrible fashion eras.

Oooh, downloading right now, thanks Tuffy!
I hadn't heard of this comp, but if it has two Triffids songs and two by The Clean, it's gonna be right up my alley.
Pretty much, yeah.

But I thought they were from the future. These things are strange.
I think I read somewhere at some point that Australia was more ahead than America when it came to current fashion trends. Either way, I'd say my 'look' could generally be said to be pretty 70s.
Thanks for that link, Tuffy. Everyone should download it. Some good stuff there. Fucking Triffids. Yes!
Lime Spiders and Hoodoo Gurus. But they are easy enough to find.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Do you like The Stems, Tuffy?
I've recently rediscovered Split Enz's early albums too.. so good.
Can't say I'm familiar.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Oh, God, Kit. Early Split Endz. Yes. But, technically, they're Kiwis. We'll given 'em that one though, whatta ya reckon? And Russell Crowe. They can have him back too.
NZ is still 'down under', except not the down under
also, here's The Stems' At First Sight, Violets are Blue

Rapidshare is my least favorite, but they are fairly consistent.
Downloading.
This is why we can't have nice things.
my least favourite too, speed depends a lot on what time of day you're using it. megaupload is still consistently the fastest.
You bloody Aussies! I'll take Split Endz, you can have Crowded House and Russell Crowe. That's a fair deal.
I'm gonna check out Tuffy's link when I'm at home.
please guys, it's ENZ not ENDZ
Like the Lord of the Rings tree things?
Yeah, it is ENZ, my bad. Sarah, well definitely take Crowded House. But telling you, you can bloody keep Crowe and his 30 odd ft of grunt.
Is Russell taken seriously as a musician there?
This is why we can't have nice things.
i put bloody instead of little. whoopsy daisy!
