That is a dumb bathroom layout.

 

You have that towel rack above the toilet paper, but not very far above the toilet paper. So you dry off with the towel, getting the towel wet, then you put it on the towel rack and it is lying on the roll of toilet paper.

You take you a piece of white bread, and butter it. Then you put some Vegemite on it. You take another piece of white bread and butter it. Then you stick potato chips to the butter. Now put these two pieces of white bread together to make a sandwich.

 

Doesn't that just sound disgusting beyond belief?

I wonder the same thing 

 

At my high school the canes (varying in thickness's) were kept on a rifle rack for the teacher to select.

Public schools was on the palm of the hand, I went to a private school and it was bend over and touch your toes.....you got either 2, 4 or 6 cuts of the cane.

Looks like someone used a towel rack as a grab bar.

Apparently this is another spot where English, or maybe Australian, differs from the American language.

 

I thought that a lolly was a slang term - a nickname if you will - for a lollipop.

 

I know that popsicles are called ice lollies, but it's basically a frozen lollipop. So that would make sense.

 

But researching Allen's lollies has led me to the conclusion that a lolly is any type of candy.

These are lollies or (singular lolly) in Oz -

These are what we call ice blocks -

If they are 'milky' like chocolate, strawberry or banana they are called 'Paddle Pops' -

We don't use the word 'candy' though its creeping into use with some of the younger generation.

Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) and Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC)
The formation of the Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) was authorised by the government on 13 August 1941 to "release men from certain military duties for employment in fighting units." The AWAS was the only non-medical women's service to send personnel overseas during the war; in 1944 and 1945 AWAS served in both Dutch and Australian New Guinea.
By 30 June 1947 all members of the AWAS had been demobilised.
Facing a severe manpower shortage due to the demands of the Korean War and national service in a time of full employment, enlistment for the Women's Royal Australian Army Corps (WRAAC) began in April 1951. In the late 1970s female soldiers began to be integrated into the Army at large and in early 1984, the WRAAC was disbanded.

Is that male chauvinism? The girls aren't allowed to pin the side of their hats up?

Hats get pinned up for port arms to keep the rifle from knocking your hat off.   

 

I would assume since these soldiers are in non combat roles they don't use rifles.Screenshot_20240310_063023_Brave.thumb.jpg.7f4f52af50d5f98d9a5983c74668ac0d.jpg
