I really think we need to give this thread a different name like The Melbourne Yarn or The Melbourne Chit Chat / Shit Chat. Cmon marketing people what are your thoughts?
Melbourne Shit Chat is brilliant!
It can change with mood, Chit Chat on a good day, Shit Chat for bad, and Shit Shat for the really bad days
It's what my friends and I call a catch up.
I don't want anyone to feel like they can't talk serious stuff here.
love it!
Interesting. Iβm not against it but, the DT name is legendary. Why change?
True. My feelings are that we've moved on from the motherland and could give it its own identity.
Also I'm a pot stirrer.
The People's front of Judea.
The Melbourne Pot Stirring thread!
Fair. I enjoy having my pot stirred now and then.
Independence!!
Yes!!
I think we can keep the DT name and have a subtitle too!
Oh cool, I like subtitles
Oh cool, I like subtitles
The Melbourne Yarn sounds like either a knitting group or a bunch of boring old men sitting around having painfully slow conversations that go nowhere. Something more active and exciting would be better. Maybe the Melbourne Choose Your Own Adventure thread.
Stitch & bitch is pretty common in yarn circles
Ooohh thatβs a good one too!
The Melbourne Yack
Those things are honestly terrifying to me.
When I was in nepal on a school trip way back, we were going up single track on a cliff face and a whole lot of them were being herded down. they simply don't care if you're in the way, you have to step aside. I was caught on the wrong side of the track (with about 1km drop) and my life flashed before me.
I still get nightmares about that heh.
Thatβs a pretty yak.
Um, that's a Highland cow/bull. Not a yak as such.
This is a yak!
It's a Melbourne yak, so it should not be surprising that it is not quite authentic.
Slightly related, but author James Oswald is also a pedigree Highland Cattle farmer. I'm not familiar with his work, his videos just came up in my recommended this morning

G'day knackers. Whadda you reckon?
My knickers are knackered, how about gnu?
Over my dead body!
The Force_majeure Daily Memorial Thread?
Not quite the vibe I was thinking
I think maybe we can try different ones every now and again.
The Melbourne Bow Wow!
That's a good idea
The Melbourne Cat Scratching Pole.
The Melbourne DT: The smoked fish depository.
