I think you'll find that crumbed steak has nothing to do with a proper schnitzel, rather it's the old, tough, remnants crumbed to make it saleable. At least, that's how I've always looked upon it. 😂

Cheers, Tony

Banana benders are a weird mob, my first initiation of this state was asked a question when buying a pie, when the lady ask me "do you want it with or without", naturally I replied "with' thinking I was getting sauce with the pie, oh no, she opened the lid of the pie and added peas, WTF.
And as you can guess there were more surprises to come with my first visit to QLD.

Why is it that hydration is suddenly such a big deal?

The amount of people carrying around drink bottles is getting ridiculous. I just don't get it.

First time going to Melbourne and ordering coffee, they asked me, do I want it cappuccino style or latte style ?? Never heard of this one in $ydney.

Blast Quarries.... Victoria, you want spalls or ballast.
NSW you want offcuts or rear dump.
QLD you want one or two man size.

Cut Quarries..... Victoria, you want how many sqm.
NSW you want how many tonnes.
QLD you want how many lineal metres.

and it goes on between states...
Sharp sand, river sand, packing sand, course sand.

Queenslanders are getting used to the lack of a proper education of southerners...

lol, one thing for sure, with every state they have their quirks, something I'm discovering all the time when travelling around Australia in the last 30 years.
WA is the worse imo.

Why is it................that an Apple iPhone works perfectly right up until the contract is up and the phone paid off, then overnight the problems surface.

Every iPhone I have owned has been fine up until its paid off, then immediately something goes wrong with battery and/or the charging of the battery. On the latest, the thing won't accept or detect a charging cable, which also means I can't transfer images for my content. Now there is a way around this by using a wireless charger, but that doesn't solve the data transfer thing.

I ended up buying the magnetic wireless charger to get me through until the new phone I ordered arrives later this week. I'm just pis.sed off that its always the same pattern, and an otherwise working product is basically trashed.

And yes, I rewarded Apple by buying another one of their high-quality products.
