I never understood that. I suppose nobody wants to get sick, but that's ridiculous.


Yes, it's part of their culture that if you have a cold/flu or anything you wear a face mask so you don't spread it. Does look a little strange but only because we aren't used to it here. Sure beats every bastard coughing and sneezing on you in public.

Good call mate. It's rare to see common sense prevail in this world, isn't it?

There's the museum and art gallery in the city.
Go on the tram with the clydesdale to Granite Island
Tram rides can be fun. Mu daughter likes going on the O-Bahn too. Next weekend I'm taking her to Belair on the train, nice trip.

I need to know how long society has been using the derivatives of the word "Versus", such as:

"We are versing Geelong this weekend" or "Oh yeah, that was when we versed Mitcham"

????

Smac Jr has been using it for years, must have picked it up at his soccer club. Doesn't sound right to me.

I hate the incorrect use of that word, and I notice it's mostly kids doing it.

Yep, versed is the wrong word to use in that way
