Alberton IGA is never empty. Never. Always someone spending money.


Must be loaded

Went to the new store on Grote St $6.99kg for brown onions, dreaming!

Drake are similar. wouldnt do a full shop there.

I was assuming AE was referring to how expensive IGA is and yes Drake's is expensive! I've had to make a quick dash to the Drakes at North Haven a fair few times over the last 5 years and I can't understand how people could do a whole shop there, Fruit and Veg is very expensive there. I guess I'm lucky to have Farmer Joe's Fruit and Veg in the Port and Romeo's Foodland pricing is ok too. Luckily I don’t have to buy Fruit and Veg from Coles either.

Drakes are good for specials and their deli section is reasonably priced but I don't buy much else there.
Lucky I have a fruit and veg store right next door to it.

Sam Smith on Sunrise, the singer, not the boy band, referred to as they.

From a social standpoint I couldn't care less what people want to identify as, but I will not stand by and allow the English language to be butchered to satisfy someone's desire to be know as "them". It's not right.

I've (jokingly) said to my mates that I now need to be referred to as "two time Brownlow medalist" and will be offended if I'm not greeted in that manner going forward.

Seriously, where does it stop? Them/furries, what next?

Sam is a single entity, maybe (?) doesn't identify as a male or female but I only see one body.
A more appropriate description would be human!

I can only assume that it's because I'm using edge now instead of google but I have so many words underline as though they are incorrectly spelt.

My English and grammatical skills are usually of a decent standard but I'm forever 2nd guessing myself on here, it's only on this site though, not via emails or word etc.

Na, I'm used of that, this is next level, words that I know are correct regardless of which country I'm in, it's annoying. I like to use the z button where I can, it looks cooler and it's one of the few keys that I have where the letter hasn't worn off yet.

I'm surprised that H, D, N & L fade so rapidly, some vowels outlast them.

Edge is basically the same as google chrome,

Give English (American) the flick and try changing to English (Australian)
