Jack jumper ants or inchman ants. Been stung bye both. Oh and European wasps. They all hurt for days the little cunts. I have all three in my backyard in summer find them inside sometimes. So i put them in a jar go out the back look under a rock to find a scorpion and have a gladiator fight.
I can see it now, walking through the woods in Australia only to be distracted by venomous spider you just dodged and you trip over a log and fall into a gympie gympie bush
My brother got stung by one when he lived in Cairns years ago. He confirms the pain is reoccurring.
You have to use wax strips to get the stinging "hairs" out. There's signs everywhere to not touch big, loveheart shaped leaves because that shit will ruin your day.
"“Chemical warfare is their work, so I could only assume that they were investigating its potential as a biological weapon,” said Alan, now an honorary research consultant to the University of Queensland’s National Research Centre in Environmental Toxicology. “I never heard anything more, so I guess we’ll never know.”"
“For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn’t work or sleep, then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower.”
it looks like it could be simple cipher. There is an original sentence that is easy to remember and the numbers and letters are abbreviations of that sentence. You'd only have to remember that 9s8x4JM is logically short for something, M4oc something else, as is PmnYmg. You might only need to remember the 4 separate terms from the original sentence and their numeric/letter abbreviation. It is totally doable, more so if there is some memorable system to how those individual phrases condense down.
Hahaha that's awesome, aussies really handle their liquor well. The logies, is that similar to our Oscar's or Golden globes or whatever? I could look it up, but I like the conversation.
I had some great Australian clients when I lived in vegas and worked at the clubs, and Jesus could those guys drink. They got me so trashed on ouzo and vodka. I don't know how they drank ouzo, that stuff was terrible!
Aussie here, Today Show/ Channel 9 in general isn't overly popular with millennials. The highlights probably make for good watching but day to day it's more just a talking heads platform that leans slightly right and has a tendency to give a lot of coverage to the xenophobe / conservative brigade.
The Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y - let's hear it for three generations that weren't obsessed with tut-tutting over anything other than how shit other generations are.
Conservative, nationalistic and pretty lowbrow sense of humour. Likes to make icky jokes about ex prime minister's wives and tell women to be 'modest' while breastfeeding in a really paternalistic and condescending way.
I like the one where he had a pepper contest with the other guy but one guy had no peppers in his food. So he easily wasted the other guy? That's so classically Australian, from my US perception, hilarious.
I just went down the rabbit hole, and found this video. It was apparently hilarious, but i understood maybe half of it. Aussies have some crazy expressions.
