Australia - you're standing in it

So Lehrmann had a no win no fee deal. Must be the silliest law firm in Oz to take his case on.

Rub a dub dub let's make it $46 billion per sub, no questions asked.

I think I have posted this before but worth a re-run for its accuracy.

I swear this is a carbon copy of my Yr 8 footy team. On the receiving end, sadly.

In Denmark you get paid to study, better than free.

More than anything I would argue that it’s gst (vat) of 25% that’s a huge revenue driver for the government. But I agree with the sentiment, we are filthy rich down here, there’s plenty of money for a better education system.

Uni I went to was full of Norwegian students having their fees paid for in full as well as grants to live in oz to study.... Gold Coast uni apparently was up around 50% Scandinavian in late 90's, used to study there on weekends, full of blond glamours...

$7.20 for a pie at the local servo in Lennox.
Fucken hell.

Imagine the cost if it was grizzle free! That is a bit much. Local bakeries around here do good pies at around $6. Haven’t bought one at a servo

Six sounds acceptable.
As long as the little squirty thing of sauce is free.

I don’t think that’s gunna happen. Bring back the big sauce bottle for free.

Those were the days.

They Wardell Pies at the servo, Andy?

Yes indeed.
Generally very good but $7.20 good?
I guess sales will tell.

Guys.... are these sweet fruit or cream pies, or are they savory meat pies?

savoury meat pies.. a staple here.. epic book:

Wax24. Long time no speak, hope you’re doing fine mate.

Oh, if you get your chompers around some of those pies Basesix has tracked down in Northern Colorado, I think you’ll apply for a visa to emigrate to our fine land.

I remember when the Florence brothers were here travelling/ surfing a few years ago , fell in love with pies, every towns got them, they remarked they had to leave because pies were adding a few too many kilograms to their waistlines. Good stuff. AW

I ate too many of these scallop pies in Tassie. Whether it be the curry version like this one or just mornay I couldn’t get enough of them

Seeds. Hi. Wow, that’s sounds and looks delicious , I see you even get a bonus black millipede on top also.AW

Anyone else enjoyed a lobster pie while travelling NZ's South Island?

Yep. Crayfish everything in NZ :-)

But the pork and apple pie (with a big slab of crackling on top) from the Fairlie pie shop is the pinnacle.

Oh my fucking god that looks amazing.

I'd be there every day for one.

They were addictive. $10 a pop generally. I was doing two a day. 1 of each type.

Lobster/crayfish pie sounds awesome as does that pork pie IB described.

Here's the aforementioned pork pie

You had me at crackling.

I like the meat pies better.... but, you guys DO also eat the sweets? Lemon meringue is my fave of these bunch, but there isn't a pie, sweet or savory i'd turn down. My mouth is watering looking at these pics. The pork and apple IS the pinnacle. I can just tell. I am a believer. All i got with me at work is a pb&j.

Who eats a pie with a knife and fork?
Haha, just kidding IB

You know about the crazy boaties/fishers out of Greymouth harbour IB? Must be some serious waves down there too boot!
