    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Any 'aliens' existing in this plane of existence, regardless of how far they've supposedly travelled, would still be subject to the same physics as the rest of our physical universe. Mathematics points to at least 10, if not possibly 11, dimensions. We are able to access only 4: spatial...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I remember when the banks were worried about being robbed. Now they, with their buddies in the government, are the robbers. Here we have petrol excises, stamp duties, GST (a form of VAT), land tax, Council rates, capital gains tax, you name it. Over-governed and over-taxed. But nobody ever does...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    A truck fully-laden with thesauruses overturned on the freeway on the edge of town the other afternoon, spilling the books all over the road. The resulting traffic chaos was terrible, appalling, atrocious, awful, severe, shocking, horrendous and dreadfful.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    The 'cashless society' is being pushed by the banks here, as they make a fortune from all those little merchant fees adding up every time someone pays electronically. I trust the Australian government to do right by me about as much as I'd trust I could swim through a pack of great white sharks...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    The adjective "hideous" springs immediately to mind.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    You'll really struggle to top this one ol' pal. The fit, the craftsmanship, the quality of the leather. I bet the leather and suede combo produces the coolest aroma. If Starsky and Hutch was filmed in 1939, you'd be Johnny on the spot to make it look badass. Huggy Bear would just give up tryin'...

    Yeah much appreciated @jeo for sharing the experience with us, especially those of us who are 7,500 miles away!

    Exploring the Uncharted Territory of Crocodile Leather Jackets

    RD, you have proven my point! I knew you could do it. Panache to burn.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Yes indeed, the companions drive me up the wall just as much! The NZ accent is certainly interesting. Aussies get a laugh out of trying to get them to say six. It always comes out as sex. "Would you like five?" "No, I want sex." Childish, but fun. I'm not up on their slang, but I know they call...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My pet hate is "If I had of . . ." instead of "if I had've . . ." when people write. The Australian accent is well known for having lost any trace of the rhotic 'r' sound way back in the Colonial past, but I wasn't aware just how pronounced our accents sound until my first trip to the States...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    A very valid point HJ. The tusks weren't just there for the fun of it, they clearly served a purpose for the animal. Imagine the boffins spending ludicrous billions of dollars to "breed" and release tuskless mammoths into the wild only for them to be dead three months later because they had no...

    The Agents of F.L.A.S.K.

    One of the most deceitful falsehoods pushed by certain agenda-driven groups. Even with only my year 12-level science education, I can work out that cows don't magically produce methane out of nothing. The carbon dioxide is absorbed into the grass they eat via photosynthesis, so it starts off in...

    JC Pennys 1950s?Leather Jacket?

    @Todd Allen (if he's still around) the FL began as a place for people interested in vintage topics associated with the Golden Era, mostly the 40s-mid 50s though going into times peripheral to that also. People joined to discuss their passion and knowledge about old movies, hats, WWII history...

    JC Pennys 1950s?Leather Jacket?

    Some creeps think the FL is just here for their convenience. Like a free quote with your coffee and donut, sir? A free evaluation on your "grandfather's heirloom" perhaps? This gives me the sh*ts.

    I wouldn't believe anything the mainstream media puts out anymore. They're nothing more than government shills pushing whatever agenda they're paid to. About a year and half ago here in Sydney, after all the coronavirus shenanigans when public trust in the government and the media was at an...
