1949 Jaffle craze hits Australia

That Aussie icon, the jaffle iron, has a shorter history than you may think. It was invented in 1949 and was a coveted household item in the early 1950s. The original Jaffle brand jaffle iron was designed and patented by Dr Earnest Smithers of Bondi. So it’s all-Australian. He also invented the name – perhaps because it sounded a bit like waffle?

As regards the question as to if the US might enter the war effort against Germany in WW2:

This is what happens when two people refuse to use translators because they believe they speak the same language.

The look on their faces when they tried the Tim Tam was priceless.

Some things I've already had, some things I already wanted to try, and now some other things I want to try. We can find Tim Tams in America now but only the milk chocolate ones and my favorite is the white chocolate.

Won't post any of the videos here because of the NSFW language and topics but go to YouTube and search for " Bush Barbie Australia "  aka Nikki Osborne. Some of her stuff is hilarious.

To all my compadres, wishing you all a very Merry Christmas Day with your loved ones and a Happy, Safe, Healthy & Prosperous New Year.

Thank you for your mateship, good humour, kindness and just being great pards. I'll most likely never meet a single one of you, but through this forum, PM's and emails I have made many friends and gotten to know so many of you on a personal level and for that, I am very grateful. 

Just an update (I'm not going to get political) there's changes to our fireams laws.....they have been rushed in to cover their butts for dropping the ball. The politicians were recalled from their Christmas break and sat till three a.m today bringing in new legislation for us on Christmas Eve.
It's looking like we will be capped with a total of ten (10) firearms per person at home, except for Collectors which will continue to have no limit. Magazines will be capped at ten (10). 

None of the shooting competitions like Single Action, Wild Bunch, IPSC, ICORE, ISSF (Bullseye), Rifle Matches, Shotgun Matches etc etc etc etc will be affected.
All licenced shooters will now HAVE to be a member of a gun club. 

 

 

To lighten the mood an oldie but a goodie -

I feel for you.

 

To compete in Steel challenge requires one firearm as long as it is pistol caliber. SASS requires four. Not counting backups. Then Wild Bunch requires another two, unless one runs a 97 in SASS. Three-gun requires, well three which may not be any of the others. BUG has a barrel length limit, so one more. The for those sports allowing both pistols and rifles, and those with both iron and optics... And backups. 10 just is not enough to meet competition needs.

 

Then considering this recent precipitating event when the individual had six firearms... Another useless limitation. Wasn't the last limitation of so-called AWBs intended to prevent this? So now shotguns and bolt action arms were chosen simply because they were available. The same will happen again when .22 rimfire is the only available option. Plus the home-made explosives which thank god did not work.

 

And 10 magazines... Per firearm? Several sports require five each. I have a drawer full. For various firearms in various calibers.

 

Anyway, Merry Christmas and the legislature there sucks as much as many state lawmakers here. Clueless as to criminals and afraid of the law-abiding citizenry.

 

On edit: I left out my carry guns, which those at Bondi beach were prohibited from having. Add those too.
