I remember my son saying a few years ago "we're versing Glenelg this week". Naturally I replied with "Singing with them or about them?". A puzzled look came my way as if to suggest I'm an idiot.
YES, all kids say "versing" these days, does my head in, glad Im not the only one.

Not just kids, either, heard quite a few AFL footballers talking who they are "versing" next.

Not doing much to dispel the footballer stereotype...

Sorry guys, I forgot the Grand Poobah of annoyances in grammar, putting "then" instead of "than" in a sentence.

Absolutely throws my insides into a frenzy!!!

looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

It's more then a feeling

Australia is home to the world's largest and most valuable gold coin. Measuring about 80cm wide and 12cm deep, the Australian Kangaroo One Tonne Gold Coin was cast by the Perth Mint in 2011 and tips the scales at a massive one tonne of 99.99 per cent pure gold. It is legal tender with a face value of $1m. Which means if you took it to the bank they'd give you $1m, when in fact the gold itself is worth roughly $258m.

Oh shit, I overloooked the finer details and meant the centre console, but it still wouldn't fit in there.
