Improved? Sort of but not really. Dundas is still the neighbouring suburb.

They’ve come up a long way from the bad old days of gang-bangs at Cox Park and hyper-opportunistic thefts in the Valley.

Think the last time I went through there was on the 546 to Parramatta. Wasn't game to get out and have a chat to the locals. Spose the new tram is making it more gentrfied.

Exposing the double standards & cowardice of a Head "fact checker". When unable to check & face up to true facts & their own rules, have to resort to hiding-burying the truth!

That is impressive for a mock up submarine but what more is impressive when you can actually board one and do a tour inside.
I have done both one in Freemantle and Sydney Darling Harbour.

So whenever i ask my kid if he wants something, he is too cool for school and gives the vague yeah maybe. Anyrate, this case it was a cheap deal for the good wireless samsung ear doodles. So i ordered 2 sets, one for me one for him.
So he has a samsung phone, so its like if you samsung the samsung, then it samsungs and you samsung it. Kind of like if you have an apple and buy an apple thing that apples to the apple so you can apple it.
Anyhow, i dad joked it as i am entitled to. So in the postal sachel on my front seat was the new ear doodles for my kid. Under the icc was the empty box from my set. So i said to mr too cool for school your ear doodles are in the front, cars open. So he bolted over and grabbed the visable box. Yep dad joke achieved with the look of utter dissapointed when it was empty.
All was made good when i asked did he notice the post satchel on the passengers seat? Well, he didnt out of haste. But hey, he is happy.
