Your pick tonight. We have the Heat Vs Scorchers today.
Good luck!
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It was a good one. It’s your pick because I picked the Strikers.
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Oh my pick? Oops.
Still a bit foggy in my brain. Heheh
Umm ok.
I think I’m going to go the Heat again this time.

I did a little bit of googling but wondering if anyone else might know, what kind of alcohol would they have drunk in pubs around the 1890s? It appears it was mostly beer and rum - which is a bit wild to me. I don’t associate rum with Australia at all and I think of that time, I think of American westerns and drinkin’ whiskey yeehaw!

Didn’t Sydney/NSW colony have a whole coup and military dictatorship over rum in the 1800’s? My history is a little hazy, but I remember the Rum Rebellion being a thing from school.

Rum, bathtub gin, beer (often adulterated). Rum meaning strong alcohol distilled from fruit rather than grain. Humanity has always looked to fermented drinks if only for oblivion, and there was little to no regulation of quality or quantity. Refer one of my favorite books ‘The Much Lamented Death of Madam Geneva’. And the let down after the boom years of the 1880s (in Melbourne at least) was severe and very damaging for a lot of people. For litry source material for 1890s, try C J Dennis (poet and journalist who died of the drink). His famous poems were collected as The Sentimental Bloke. The real gem is his take on Romeo & Juliet, titled Her Name’s Doreen, which cracks me up to this day. @Nath’s comment below is pertinent, but largely outdated by 1890. It’s true that the first military detachment to the new colony in Port Jackson was known as the Rum Corps, and deserved it. Not only for the widespread corruption and use of rum as currency, but also referring to the cockney english usage of ‘rum’ meaning suspicious or shonky dealings in general. This had largely been sorted by the ever present Governor Macquarie by the 1850s. The 1890s were post the largest gold rushes. There was a minor gold rush on Goodman’s Creek near Bacchus Marsh in that time period and the bigger gold rushes to the Palmer River in FNQ, but these didn’t really create much change in the drinking culture as such as far as I know. The gold rushes in the Victorian & NSW alpine areas were after that - more early 1900s. I’m looking forward to your next volume.

Sugarcane industry was established in Australia by then, so of course rum followed very quickly. Bundaberg rum has been around for a long time, but I’m sure there would have been plenty of smaller makers and of course home brews.

Whoops. Zooki treated me to the ‘feed me bitch’ bite yesterday - partly due to not being able to have her favourite food any more and partly because she’s a little shit’ and it’s blown up like crazy.
The doctor has given me two lots of strong antibiotics and signed me off work for the rest of the week as I’d be in and out of latex gloves. I admit I’m not weeping tears of blood.
In other news the pre negotiation negotiations for The (hopefully) New Place have started, with much emailing and texting. I’ve also spotted another place which ticks even more of the boxes than this one, although it’s not as nice. And let’s face it, around that area there’s always a unit for sale.gmask1@aussie.zone 10 months ago
We purchased moved into our townhouse in 2022, and except for me making a couple of calls to ask about fees and things, we haven’t heard anything from the owners corporation about meetings, plans or anything else. I suspect it’s the same for other townhouses.
I don’t know if our block just has a rubbish owners corporation manager, but does anyone know if they are obligated to communicate anything to the property owners?

Our old OC manager was an absolute stickler for the rules, to the point where I stopped going to the AGMs in person because it would just drag on for hours. His replacement is a bit more casual but still does things by the book. To answer your question, they should absolutely be communicating with you and the rest of the OC.

I’m listening to the Oppenheimer soundtrack. It’s so haunting.

I saw Alcaraz walking in Southbank yesterday when I was out for dinner with a friend yesterday!! He was literally 2m from me and looked like he was enjoying the city so I didn’t want to bother him for a photo (also anxiety)
I had to do a triple take if it was actually him!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I have no idea who that is 😀
