He isn't 100% right about the House Numbers. One side is even numbers and the other side is Odd numbers - well in my state they are.
Everywhere I've been in Australia yes..
Unless you live in a court. Then the numbers are consecutive.
@@brianmcdonnell6758 I grew up in a court with odds and evens on opposite sides (Victoria).
The 2 courts I have lived in were consecutive numbers, up one side and down the other. South Australia.
@@brianmcdonnell6758 just had a look at some other courts in melb and it does vary. based on the small sample size I looked at, it seems to be if the houses go all the way around the court then it's consecutive numbering, but if there's a park at the end of the court breaking up the two rows of houses then it's the usual odds/evens split used on other roads.

School buses can go any speed. The 40 sign on the back means other cars must not go faster than 40 while passing a bus stopped picking up or dropping off people.
And it’s 40 in a school zone
I've followed busses doing 100kmph. I don't know where he got that info from
@@commentsforthealgorithm1740 and at least in SA, we do have yellow school buses
In Melbourne all the buses have the stop sign and cars have to stop, not just school buses.
oops sorry, my mistake I'm actually referring to trams which are everywhere here.
In Au we don't talk like there is no tomorrow. We actually breathe as well.
Americans have to cram words in because they never known when they are about to be shot dead.
Come to think of it - as my father used to say - “ He didn’t come up for air.” lol
As a cyclist, you 'bing' people before you pass them and then you thank them when you go past. It's all so lovely and polite. But it's also practical, I would say that about two thirds of all walkers on my local bike tracks have earphones. So the bell is more likely to be heard.
Definitely appreciate the ‘bing’… gives me the opportunity to quickly pop out of the way… plus, it’s always nice to have a bit a ‘morning, thank you’ ‘no probs!’ On the walk :)
Tristan often has errors. In this video his misunderstand of tasty cheese is a howler. Tasty does not refer to just cheddar. It refers to whether it is mild, more like Colby or Edam, and tasty is aged longer and has a stronger flavor. Tasty is the most popular type, and it can be hard for those of us who prefer mild cheeses to find the mild ones.
Yeah, I’ve noticed that about the US, they seem to only have one type of certain foods, not the broad range of other countries. For instance, their coffee seems to be always black, and they drink it like it was just to wake them up. I have never seen an espresso let alone a cappuccino or a cafe latte. Cheese is just cheese in a block, otherwise it’s called American Cheese in the plastic covered slices. Why that’s American, I have no idea, it’s global. Oh and let’s forget about the phenomenon that is “spray cheese”! Then there are sausages, which Americans know as hot dogs. Their sausage is simply minced meat! I’ve never seen a proper beef or pork sausage on an American dinner plate. Their peanut butter is much darker than ours, so either they leave the skins on or they roast them for a lot longer. They also have a LOT of BBQ over open flame which produces carcinogens on the meat. 8 thought they didn’t know that, but after talking to several Americans, they do seem to know that but don’t care! They also over-indulge on bacon. No wonder there’s an obesity problem in the US! Sugars, corn syrup, fats, sodium and carcinogens are all high!
Often? Lmao, he's always incorrect he's a nimbrod who just hates Australia, and that's why he disses us. He knows nothing about our country.
Lol, I thought it was just the 'brand name!'
@@ColourfulXO Cheeses are like wine. It depends on the cows, what they’re fed, the breed of cows, the way the milk is treated, the aging process, as well as how it’s stored and for how many years. Strong and Bitey is one flavour profile. Tasty or Extra Tasty is another. Brie is a soft cheese that’s popular.
@@Jeni10 I've not had Brie cheese and I'm pretty picky with my cheeses.
When Tristan said “the way buildings are addressed”, my first thought was, “Who talks to buildings?? Good morning Reserve Bank of Australia.” Weird! LOL!
HA! I didn't know what he was talking about at first.
I knew it very well the numbers are so long as I been in the USA
Four square, downball, and handball were 3 different games in my primary school. Rules for these games vary from state to state, and sometimes school to school.
We use to call it hand tennis or hand ball.
it was called four square when I was a kid, at primary school. We even used to get 12 squares up etc.. a really agro game where I come from in NZ..
Agreed, and downball uses a wall instead of a square. At least in Melbourne when I was growing up.
I just remembered it being called 'handball' in my day. And we only had enough room for up to 6 kids to play at once.
@@brendanh8193I knew that was wallball in qld
The Bell thing says a lot about the American mindset.
but we are not required to have a bell in Australia you only require a helmet

Only in the state of Queensland requires a bell by law. But Queensland is a bit of a police state.
Personally i think Queensland feels more American and southern states like Victoria feels more European and liberal.
Thank you for buying Bega Cheese because it is an true Australian 🇦🇺 company and it is made it the actual town BEGA which is a great place on the South Coast of NSW and my daughter lives just south of Bega and is a 5 1/2 hot drive south of Sydney
Far South Coast NSW is fabulous.😍
It was also cool to see the owners of, Bega, on 'House Rules' several years ago.
I once stepped out on the road unaware of the bike coming as noisy area and they're so quiet, but grateful the cyclist rang their bell as my reaction was to immediately step back off the road. If someone just yelled out, I would have not known what was happening immediately.
I got knocked over by a bike stepping out of the shop my mum worked at. A bell would have been good but the fact he was on the footpath was the kicker. My mums boss tore strips off him, it was lovely. I got a day off school and flowers from mums boss ❤
exactly!
As a bike-ylist, I think bells are far more polite than yelling at someone. To me a little “ding, ding” is far nicer than “ON YER LEFT, MATE!!” Or right.. I don’t even know what we’d say here. Incidentally, I have two bells on my bike, and they are a semitone apart, so I ring one and then the other, then the first one and then the other, speeding up the alternating between the two… yep, it’s the Jaws theme!! I love playing the Jaws theme as I come up behind people!!
love it jaws theme I want to do tha ton my ebike now haha
Cheddar: aged for 3-4 months before shipping to be sold. Tasty cheddar: aged for 6-12 months before being sold. Extra Tasty cheddar: aged for 12 months plus before being sold. Elsewhere Tasty is known as Mature or Vintage cheddar.
When I was at Primary school in Melbourne we played Four Square, rather than Hand Ball.
Cheddar in Australia is just another name for generic mass produced cheese, probably doesn't taste anything like true English Cheddar Cheese. Also although most people in Australia seem to refer to that kind of cheese as Cheddar it is usually not marketed or branded as such but as mild, tasty or vintage, etc. Cheese Maybe that has to do with English Cheddar being trademarked as a national cheese and therefore the name Cheddar can not legally be used for Australian cheeses.
It's called handball
Way back when the game first appeared at my (primary) school in 1962 when I was in Year 3 (3rd Grade then) we called it “King Pin” as the squares were named King, Queen, Jack, Dunce (the player in the King square served the ball at the start of each game). It was (is) an excellent game and it took off around that time all over Sydney as far as I’m aware. For us at Chatswood Public School, it was introduced to us by a kid in my Grade newly arrived from Newcastle, NSW. My year group/cohort continued to play it all the way through school from 3rd Grade in Primary School, through High School all the way to Year 12 (6th Form) in High School (Chatswood HS, Class of 1971).
At Chatswood High School we had daily school tournaments and huge games played on the large concrete squares of the school quadrangle, usually with more than 20 players actively participating in each game (we had 20 or so squares in use with many additional players lined up awaiting their turn to play).
It’s played with a tennis ball. The King serves by bouncing the ball in his/her own square with the intention that the ball will then land in the square of one of the other players. That second player has to hit the ball with their bare hand (no catching) either as a volley or before it bounces a second time in their square, so that firstly it bounces in their own square, again with the intention then that the ball would then land in another player’s square, hopefully in such a way that that next player will be unable to return a legal shot, whereupon that next player if they were able to, would have to hit the ball in the same way to another player’s square, and so on. Some rallies could go on for a long time. If a player failed to land the ball within their own square immediately after hitting it or if after that “own-square” bounce the ball failed then to land in another player’s square, the player who had just hit that failed shot was “out” and the next player below that outed player would move up the hierarchy one place to fill the outed player’s square and everyone below that player in the playing hierarchy also would move up one place. The outed player would become “Dunce” in a simple 4-player game or, if it was a large game, would either fill the now vacant last place in the hierarchy of participating players or would be required to join the back end of the queue of intending players waiting to participate, as the first intending player in the queue now joined the game.
So the object of the game is to advance to King and to stay there as long as possible. It is a simple game involving hand-eye co-ordination and a degree of ball skill and fitness on the part of the players. In the games that I played there were no points scored and any disputed shots were replayed by agreement so there would be no arguments. No referees or teacher supervision required. Good players could stay playing in a game for quite some time and the best player would naturally advance to the King square and could remain there for quite a while if they were good enough. The game only stopped when a player was “out” or when the bell rang to go into class or assembly.
@@DeepThought9999 Some of those rallies got epic sometimes. The ball would barely get an inch off the ground and you could barely see it bounce.
Handball is played in most schools in Aus and it's kinda like tennis without the nets mixed with dodgeball. You have to hit the ball (with your hand) so it bounces into your own square/rectangle and then land in an opponents zone. A point is scored by the oponent failing to return the hit before it bounces a second time. it can be scaled up to be far more than 4 players though, At my college the quadrangle had big 2m x 3m pavers and we had games going with 10-20 kids.
Wow. I’ve never played with more than four. That would be quite a sight to see.
I'm a teacher in Brisbane and handball is definitely still one of the most popular games played at break times 🙂
Lol. We used to use the basketball courts at primary school, as the sections were about 1.2m x 4m or so. Was even better that pretty much every “square” had a crack, so 2 squares to a section. I think we had up to about 20 or so players on some games too. Interesting to see it so formalised now with painted squares. 😝
Strong & Bitey is black label & the one I buy.
Beeudifull cheese
In Australia (at least in NSW) The Traffic Law for pedestrian crossings is : you must give way to pedestrians crossing; you must not overtake a vehicle that’s stopping or has stopped to give way to pedestrians who are crossing; you must not drive onto the crossing if the road ahead is blocked.
The blocking the road thing is definitely a national law, you cannot block an intersection. However, in QLD - at least in Brisbane city - no one follows that rule - it kills me. I literally wanted to kick a car last night that was stopped across the crossing at the lights. But in terms of pedestrians - in qld, you must stop if the light is red, but if the person is just trying to cross j-walk style, they have to give way to traffic.
Handball was a main activity during breaks when I was at school, all the way up to year 12/6th form.
The rules are pretty simple, see the wikipedia "Handball (schoolyard game)". You can play it over any straight line on a (preferably) paved surface, from an expansion joint to a chalk or charcoal line. You can have teams on each side of one line or a set of 4 squares with each player having a square.
Cheddar cheese from Cheddar in the UK has the rights to call their cheese "cheddar" because that's what it is. In Australia many brands will say tasty, colby, vintage or cheddar "style" cheese. In essence it is Cheddar and made the same, but like Parmigiano Regiano it's protected and has a kind of trademark on it so Australian cheese (even though it's essentially the same) has different names.
It's the same with wines. Nobody can call sparkling wine champagne unless it is made in the Champagne region of France.
@@glenmale1748
Absolutely right on.
Tasty cheese is not just cheddar cheese, it's a form of cheddar that is stronger in taste. Hence why it's called "tasty".
Tristan was in Australia for a year but lived in hostels, so he didn't necessarily get a broad picture of daily life here. Just something to keep in mind if you watch more of his vids 😊 As for pharmaceutical drugs, you'll see ads for non-prescription ones like headache tablets, but not prescription ones, so there's not a constant onslaught. And Bega tasty cheese is yum, especially with ham on a sandwich or on its own, toasted. I had some tonight, actually 😊
Bike bell is not the wringing kids bell it's a single strike on a bell. You do a single ding to let pedestrians know your coming up behind them. This can't be interpreted as anything other then a courtesy. 🙄🙄
essential since most of our bike paths are mixed use. Your voice has a limited range and they won't hear it until you are on top of them.... frequently startling them making matters worse
Bega is a town on the NSW south coast, not far from the Vic border. This is where Bega cheese originates.
And yes..... the Bega cheese...strong & bitey tastes waaayyy better than just plain tasty.
Handball has been around in Australia forever. I used to play it in primary school in the 80s.
We were playing handball at school in the 60's & 70's too.
Played it in the 80s. When I changed schools I had to get used to new rules and a new way of playing. Played EVERY recess.
We pronounce 'Aluminium' correctly in Australia.
I finally worked out why we spell it differently.
AUS=
Aluminium.
USA =
Aluminum
USA and Canada leave the second i out, so they don’t pronounce it.
Us Aussies and the rest of the English speaking world have 2 i’s and we pronounce both.
(I finally worked it out chatting on line typing to an American a few years ago.)
@@bernadettelanders7306can we explain the US pronunciation of buoy? We say boy they say boo-ee. Yet the day buoyant correctly 🤔
@@kayelle8005 now there’s one I hadn’t thought of. More brain work for me to find out why lol. It’s strange how it changes over the years from original English in UK to yours and my country. And the 3 different accents as well, oh and our, my neighbours the kiwis lol. OH, just realised, you don’t have the letter U in neighbour lol
🇺🇸🇦🇺🏴🇳🇿 🤔lol
As an Australian, i like Mainland cheese, its from NZ and real tasty
Handball goes back many decades. I played it in Primary School and it must have already been going for sometime beforehand. In my school, it was predominantly the boys who played. Oh, the memories these videos bring to the surface.🇦🇺💖👩🏼🎨
I was bought up with Handball. It used a court like a Squash Court but NO rear wall. Otherwise the rules were similar. You hit the ball with your HAND, usually using a clenched Fist for power.
what we call tasty cheese and cheddar cheese are the same type of cheese, but aged for different periods of time. cheddar has a more subtle flavour, tasty is bitier/more intense.
We always distinguished between processed cheddar (like slices of soapy rubber), mild cheddar (harder, somewhat crumbly block that tastes a bit like cheese) and tasty cheddar (usually crumblier with bite - a bit like some of the lovely British regional cheeses)
Haven't written or handled a cheque since the 90's, havent even carried cash for 4 or 5 years.
I haven't had a chequebook in 20 years. Bike bells, it did used to be that people might get annoyed if you rang it. Now they they give you a wave and and say thanks (for letting them know you are coming up from behind) There are signs on the bike paths telling you to ring your bell. Shade sails at supermarkets, yep, my local shopping centre put some up about 3 years ago, so good. You think 32 degrees is hot? Try the mid 40's in Adelaide. I really like your videos. xx :)
Australians are known for being the best handballers on earth no joke
A cheque is still required for some legal purposes.
Sobriety tests in the US. They go on for ages and are highly subjective. Only after you fail standing on one leg, walking a straight line and watching a finger do they finally do a breath analysis , which takes a minute. In the states that have breath analysis. Otherwise you are in court because some cop had an argument with his wife.
In the advanced world, police start with a breath test. I would fail a sobriety test every time. I have no balance, which is something I do not need to drive a car. As a teetotaler I will pass any breath test, any time.
you can refuse a sobriety test an just do the breath test .
@OnehungLowe Probable cause limits US police. Cops must have shown that they have a reason to seek an evidential breath test. The videos I have seen no preliminary breath tests were offered.
@@davidcarter4247 i.m not disputing that my statement stands .
@@OnehungLowe I've heard that too, but I've also heard that not all police cars have the kits, and none in some jurisdictions, which results in time and inconvenience having to be taken to a station or somewhere else to do the breathalyser.
@@kevin_mitchell oh no we can't inconvenience the cops lol in Australia all police cars have random breath testers the US needs to do better.
the Victorian government sent me a cheque last year, and I still process lots of them at work too. they are still used a lot by older people in regional areas, in particular.
They are being officially phased out this year, I think.
@@andrewhighriser9531 a lot of banks are opting to phase out early, but the government's timeline is to phase them out by 2030.
Down ball is a fun game. Hard to explain in a small comment section but worth looking up 😄
On the school bus thing. In Australis we do have flashing lights on our buses with a 40 kilometer limit per hour, and all traffic must adhere to that speed when the lights flash. Buses can travel at the speed limit designated for that area.
In the West, back in the 70s, we called this game “Square Ball”. I think it is a far superior name. It also had numbers 1, 2, 3 and K for “King”. The idea was that when the king was defeated, number 3 would move up to become K, and a new player would slip into number 1. We used to use a white house-brick and draw the lines on the road out the front of our house, and we were very good at Square Ball.
Yeah, the black packet cheese is best, I think it's called Strong and Bitey. Unless you're thinking of the Cracker Barrel one, which I think is called Vintage.
Tasty cheese is different to cheddar cheese here.
The "handball" game is usually played by school kids and basically has the (pretty much) same rules as Tennis except you use your hand instead of a racquet. We always called it "Handball" or "Four Square", you could play it with two or four players. It was really popular in the '70s when I was in school, so much so that they had permanently painted Handball courts on the playground.
Handball in the playground, you can also use the wall of school buildings. Cheques: still use bank cheques for big purchases like vehicles, no dealer gonna trust a personal cheque. KFC- we don't have popeyes or chick-a-fil but we do have Red Rooster( the ol' red rooter).
Interesting to hear you can buy Bega cheese in Malaysia. FYI - Bega cheese originated in 1899 from the town of Bega in south east NSW. Today it is still packed in the facilities in Bega and is proudly 100% Australian owned. The term Cheddar originated in the UK but the term isnt licensed (protected). In Australia we instead refer to it by its strength - Mild, Tasty or Sharp. We also dont have a lot of dedicated bike lanes. The main towns are trying to build dedicated bike lanes and some areas use a lane on the roadways for bikes, but many times they are mingling with pedestrians so the bell is a polite way of letting people know you are there.
It's called four square or square ball in our state and has been called that for as long as I can remember. But I've also heard it called other names too.There's differences between America and Australia, but there's also differences both within Australia and within America too, so what he says only applies to the areas he's visited or lived in.
Ringing a bell on a bike to alert others you're passing isn't considered rude , it's a courtesy. It's not equivalent to someone tooting their horn because they're angry at another driver.
Thank you I enjoyed that video!
It's called downball to the uninitiated. I started writing the rules but I found I'd need about 10 pages worth of writing to cover just our variation of the game. We used to play before school started in the morning, morning recess, lunch time and afternoon recess. Yep played a lot of downball.
1:00 As per signage, if you live out in the country, my old town updated their numbering for each house on the country roads to be a number for the distance. So if you live 20 kilometers from town, you're 2000 >insert road name< for the distance in meters
In our state, the houses are numbered sequentially from 1 onwards, with odd numbers on one side and even on the other. Usually the number 1 is on the left side at the start of the street as you head down it. However, in some small cul-de-sacs they're numbered sequentially, 1, 2, 3 ... until you come back to the start.
On the outer-skirts of the city and in rural areas with larger properties, the numbers correspond to the meters from where the road starts. So if you're looking for 4,600 and you're at 3,200 you know you have 1,400 meters or 1.4 kilometres to go.
Handball. I used to love playing that at school, even our teachers would play against us. Good times.
I would rather hear a bell to signal me to move over then an awkward crash. True that.
Some Australian addresses do have large numbers. In rural areas the system commonly used allocates a number based on the distance from where the road starts. So if it is roughly 2.255 km down the road, the number is 2255 (odds on one side, evens on the other).
Never heard of school buses being limited to 40 kph. I think he is confused (very) by the rule that if a school bus is stopped and flashing its warning lights, traffic must not pass it, on either side of the road, at more than 40 kph.
Bike bells are especially useful on combined walking/riding tracks. Pedestrians can't hear bikes coming and may walk to one side into the path of an approaching bike. Have nearly been hit several times by inconsiderate riders who don't use them, but some are very helpful and give a 'Ding" and say "passing on your right". Obviously this guy falls into the inconsiderate category who fail to understand some basic courtesy.
Cheddar cheese comes in different types. If only matured for a few months it is labelled as 'Mild", if matured for more like 12 months it is labelled 'tasty'. The taste is distinctly different, and tasty is a good way of describing the stronger taste of the latter. Duh!
A lot of our sporting superstars would've developed good hand eye co-ordination from playing handball in the playground. It can get super competitive and fast paced.
I love Bega cheese, my ancestors on my Mum's side were from the Beautiful Bega Valley in the NSW Sapphire Coast. I used to enjoy going to the Bega cheese factory when even we went to Bega for holidays. Unfortunately, it was closed down the last time I was there due to Covid.
Bega still has two Cheese Factory's at North Bega that run 24/7 .
I remember going to the Bega cheese factory as a child.
@ondoogretchtub is that still near the Bega Heritage centre?
Some lawyers still use cheques for payouts or real estate settlements. Australia has panadol painkiller type ads and lawyer ads for workers compensation type claims but they're not plastered everywhere.
Regarding the USA being a bit old fashioned, when I visited New York City in February 2000, I couldn’t find a WiFi cafe. At the time, large suburbs in Sydney had signs for WiFi cafes, as there were no WiFi hotspots back then.
There were plenty of WiFi cafes with signs in Los Angeles where I had been a few days before, but they didn’t seem to be a thing in Manhattan. I asked at the hotel reception desk but they didn’t know where I could find somewhere that had WiFi. I started walking along Broadway and asked in a couple of shops. The staff were clueless about what I meant.
I also found the banks did not have ATM (Cashpoint) and I had to line up for the teller. I was really shocked at how backwards New York was compared to Sydney’s suburban technology. It seemed like I was in a place a decade behind little old Sydney town.
In Sydney, school buses are just ordinary buses on a school run. After the morning school peak, the bus will do general route services. Then according to each vehicle’s schedule it will re-position for the school pick up run in the early afternoon. After that it will revert to a route bus and do the afternoon/evening commuter run. Every bus must be up to the same standard.
Old buses are only used by bus operators for charter services, etc, not on governmental contract public transport services.
In Sydney, buses are not limited to 40 kilometres. The sign means that passing traffic from behind a bus must limit speed to 40 kilometres in case a child alighting from the bus runs in front of it, into the path of a passing vehicle.
All buses are fitted with warning lights, called ‘wigwag lights’, that flash in an offset pattern (wig wag) when the bus stops to warn following drivers that the bus is setting down or picking up children. All traffic must treat the bus as if it is in a school zone, which is a 40 km speed zone.
Red arrows, painted on a sign on the back of the bus, indicate that when the bus indicates to merge back into the traffic, it has right of way over any following traffic. These are standard markings on all Sydney buses in the government contracted bus fleets.
Boke riders in Australia wear compulsory helmets so they’re not likely to hear your call out. The bell they’re listening for.
When I was in high school (many decades ago) we played handball. Basically same rules as tennis, you just didn't have a net or a bat. You could even play it with 2 or 4 people, depended on how many people you could get to play with you
Re Tasty Cheese - Google has your answer: “A tasty cheese is just above average cheddar in terms of aging,” he said. “Extra bitey mild cheddar is usually aged for three to four months. “A bitey one will generally be a year or more, this is traditionally what tasty cheddar cheese is.”
The lawyer ad thing is wrong. We do have them... At least here in Western Australia anyway.
*sings* No win, no fee. LHD.
Geez those guys are in Victoria too.
Luv it - yep the bell rage made me laugh too
In Adelaide, SA we played handball but it was played on more then 4 squares. We could play with up to 12 or more people in seperate squares.
Bega is a rural town in NSW. They are well known for their dairy products. Tasty cheese implies that it has been aged to a stronger flavour. See my comment about US cheese etc. Bega also bought Vegemite from Kraft after Kraft pulled out of Australia. They paid $4M I read somewhere! But I’m so glad they did because we can still enjoy our Vegemite and our Bega Peanut Butter range! 😋😋😋
For us it is just poloite to let others know that we are coming (not a rider myself) but as a pedestrian its good to have
I agree having experienced riding and walking on a shared track, I find it easier to move to left when hearing a bike bell than trying to decipher what they are saying, ringing a bell is just like saying excuse me.
Yep, played handball in high school in the early '70's
Use to love Tristan's videos on Australia, watched them all!
Tasty cheese vs cheddar - cheddar is the smooth soft cheese like the slices in fast-food burgers. It's texture stays the same even when melted.
Tasty when cold breaks up or crumbles - when melted it goes soft, gooey & bubbles up when grilling.
My bank gave me a cheque book here in Australia. I found it on the floor months later when I was cleaning under my desk... Never used one
On the dairy shelves you will see Tasty Cheddar and next to it Mild Cheddar. My favourite cheese is Colby, which is perfect for toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches.
When cheese in Australia is not specified it is cheddar. It used to be the only type of regular cheese here in supermarkets, so the brands just marked what level of cheddar cheese it was. Cheese, Tasty, Vintage, etc.
Other cheeses like Brie, Camembert, Stilton, etc, we’re only available in a delicatessen, originally, and gradually appeared in supermarkets as more migrants shopped there. (Like salami). So delicatessens are much rarer now.
Australia and New Zealand have great dairy products so we usually buy cheeses made in our two countries in the style of European dairy products.
There is Colby. I'm not sure what that style that is, but it's a nice cheese.
I’m shocked you don’t have handball. In primary school we also played jacks, skipping, elastics, footy, various sports.
South Australia is home of farmers union iced coffee. It's the only drink in the world that outsells coke. 3:1 in 2008 but today it's about 2:1. Chedder comes in different varieties like extra sharp etc. Tasty is a flavour profile of cheddar.
I’m an Aussie… but I agree, our pretzel selection sucks a big one. I hate having to make my own chocolate pretzels!
The bell thing with the bike works. You hear a ding from behind you, you know there's a bike about to pass. If you get confused by your own bell then I'm sorry, you've got bigger issues than that bell to worry about. Bega is the biggesr selling cheddar in Aus, and the black mature version you buy is great. Tasty is a rung down from that, and Cheddar is milder still (I think). Pretzels are not a thing here, and every time I try one, I can see why.
Thanks, that was very interesting. I love hearing how things like these relate to the UK and Malaysia.
Almost every school will have painted handball courts, along with some parks. I'll leave it to others to give the rules.
Christian's upset about the bike bell because he feels it's treating him like a child. Bikes are almost silent, so a pedestrian can step into the path of a bike without enough warning for the bike to avoid them. Calling out loudly is one way to alert them, but it takes a lot more time to say and process "bike coming" or something similar. A bell is more quickly activated, can be more readily heard by the elderly (who can have lost hearing in lower frequencies), and its standard meaning is more easily recognised. If his bell is ringing randomly, it's not attached properly.
Australian tasty cheese has a sharper taste than Australian cheddar, they are quite different types of cheese.
Copyright is the answer for Tasty. Bega is my go to as well, and yes it's Tasty.
Especially since Coon became Cheer....
The same reason we can't have Sherry and Port any more then. Back off Brussells!
We don't say tasty for ALL cheddar. It's like a medium specific variety of cheddar
Game is also called four square in Victoria.
Bega Tasty is my fave one
I agree about the bike bells, they're f annoying.
Victorian here we called it four square I have never heard of the term ‘downball’
Drinking and driving: it is very hard to prove that a person is driving under the influence of alcohol. You can easily prove that a person is driving with more than a certain percentage of alcohol in their blood
Tristan is a little off with school buses. Basically in Australia a School Bus is any bus that can be used, provided it is fitted with the "School Bus" equipment, that is the front and rear warning flashers (two amber lamps that alternate on the front and rear), which are activated when the doors are opened and 15 seconds after they close; also there are reflective yellow signs on the front and rear - with either the words "School Bus" or the more modern pictograph of two walking children. - the 40kph limit is not that the Bus is limited to that speed, rather traffic should pass at that speed, like in a school zone, or passing emergency vehicles.
in rural areas the street numbers go by metres.
so if your house number is 132. your neighbours number won't be 134 like on an urban street.
your neighbours number will be the metres along the road you are.
so if your neighbour is 94 metres away from you, their number will be 226.
this helps the Postie and anyone trying to find an address to have an idea how far it will be when driving.
so our house is 4885. that means it's 4 km and 885 metres along the road form where it starts ( or in our case along the highway , from whatever point that suburb starts ).
Our closest neighbours number is 4765.
so if you were driving along and saw their letterbox you'd know you only had one more km to go to get to our place.
Do rural street numbers in America go by distance too?
i'm guessing yes.
and is it even numbers one side and odd number on the other like here in Oz and NZ?
though some short weirdo random streets with a dead end can have consecutive numbers. and go 1,2,3,4.. all the way round.
But that's just a weirdo street here and there.
Tasty cheese is best for cheese on a single slice of toast, put under a grill to melt the cheese. Then add salt and pepper 😋😋
I think the amount of gigabytes offered here in OZ maybe to compensate for our rather slow internet speed.
Red Posties Motorbikes, not Yellow. They use different ones now.
I love cheques for my business but now the bank has got rid of them. So upset.
School Buses - not completely true.
On a bike, you can say something loud because people change direction at any given time and accidents happen.
Cover in Car Parks - in Sth Aust. We have Solar Panels on them.
Tasty cheese is a cheddar that's been aged longer than usual. A tasty cheese is just above average cheddar in terms of aging. Extra bitey mild cheddar is usually aged for three to four months.
Postie bikes are yellow in Melbourne and have a canopy to have some protection from weather.
@@cocoidiea8643 In that video it's a Red Bike with Yellow Saddle Bag.
I’ve noticed that about the US, they seem to only have one type of certain foods, not the broad range of other countries. For instance, their coffee seems to be always black, and they drink it like it was just to wake them up. I have never seen an espresso let alone a cappuccino or a cafe latte. Cheese is just cheese in a block, otherwise it’s called American Cheese in the plastic covered slices. Why that’s American, I have no idea, it’s global. Oh and let’s forget about the phenomenon that is “spray cheese”! Then there are sausages, which Americans know as hot dogs. Their sausage is simply minced meat! I’ve never seen a proper beef or pork sausage on an American dinner plate. Their peanut butter is much darker than ours, so either they leave the skins on or they roast them for a lot longer. They also have a LOT of BBQ over open flame which produces carcinogens on the meat. 8 thought they didn’t know that, but after talking to several Americans, they do seem to know that but don’t care! They also over-indulge on bacon. No wonder there’s an obesity problem in the US! Sugars, corn syrup, fats, sodium and carcinogens are all high!
I never saw handball at school, nor did my children. Buses can go normal speeds. I love Cracker Barrel cheese but also the black label one you mentioned.
Where did you go to school? The game arrived at my primary school in northern Sydney in 1962, introduced to us by a kid newly arrived from Newcastle NSW. Within a few years it seemed to be everywhere.
@@DeepThought9999 I'm in WA. Started school in the country then moved to the city in 62. I remember basketball, leader ball and pass ball.
We don't use cheques because you have to pay for each one. Who wants to pay $2 just for a cheque and if its damaged or lost, then it has to be redone. We do have 'lawyer' ads on tv. Mostly the 'if you don't win, then we don't charge' ones. lol others have said it but our school buses go the same speed as everyone else...and they all look different cause of branding. Imagine traveling 100 km to school each way at 40km/hr ! (and yes, that distance isn't uncommon!) Handball has one person who serves. The ball must bounce once (only once) in their square and then in someone else's. The person in that square needs to hit it (back or to someone else) once in their square and then on to someone else. Someone may hit the ball on the 'full' which means that it hasn't bounced in your square yet or they can take the chance that it does not bounce in your square and will skip over it completely. If it DOES bounce in your square and you do not hit it to someone else, then you are 'out'. That means that you go to the last square ( or fourth square if 4 squares are used or mostly we play with several squares. (The person who serves (king) is always at one end) When someone is out, the ball gets sent back to the King and he/she starts the game again. The goal is to become King and stay as King. We get so good that the ball can be skimming the ground at high speed and the 'hits' are more like whacks...cause with lower bounces and higher speed there is a higher chance of your opponent missing their hit on the ball. 'Tasty cheese' isn't the same as cheddar cheese. Its milder and tastes different
The low fast hits were my favourite and were particularly effective if aimed directly at the other player as they found it hard to control their reply shot. I never seem to see shots being played like that these days, unfortunately. Everyone seems to be playing too “nicely”. Competitive? Me? Never!
Tasty cheese is cheddar but you can get Vintage (the black packet) and it's a stronger cheddar. I prefer Colby (blue packet) it's a milder one
Aus does have law firm ads. Only in the last few years though.
Travelling to the states early 80s couldn’t believe the law firm ads were common.
Bank cheques have been phased out in Australia. Law firms can advertise in Australia. There are mascots in Australia but nowhere near as much in America. The game is called four square in Victoria. If you hit a pedestrian on the footpath when riding a bike, even if they walk across into your path, you are legally liable for any injury, hence the warning bell. Cheddar is aged and that makes it tastier. The longer it is aged the tastier it gets.
I have seen Lawyer ads on tv, Bale Boshev for instance
Handball can have more squares lol it starts at 2, but it’s been played with 4, with 6 or more 😂
Also Aussie sun is brutal, any shade for cars is a blessing. Go see the way car paint dies brutally in Queensland or the Northern Territory, red paint will die first, everything else will die in the sun far more quickly in Oz.
The bell on bike is for courtesy, and they are actually required by law. Better to know a bike is approaching on a shared footpath..
Played Handball 4 square grid Primary and High School til looking at Sweethearts became better things to do at Recess and Lunchtime here in South Oz 🇦🇺👌
We DO have lawyer ads in Oz though it only really became a thing in the last 20 years. However I was playing 'four square' in school here about 40 years ago. 4 of you stand in a square of your own and you bounce a tennis ball into somebody else's square and they try to get it back to someone else's square. Never heard it being called 'downball' lol & Handball is another (Olympic) sport completely. The 'covered' car parks are more likely to be in Northern Oz. It''s not as much about protecting cars from the sun as protecting shoppers from the rain you can get (like in Malaysia) from the sub-tropical climate. Much better than having to take a brolly out. Tristan seems a nice guy though & it looks like he loves it downunder.
We call it down ball in Tasmania
The covers are for shade, not rain.
@@CallistoTheWarriorQueendownball in Vic too
Yeh...I live in low desert California right now...the shading in parking lots are huge
Four square is called four square and if played between two kids it's called two square. Down ball is played against a wall but is very similar. At least this was at the schools I attended.
Fun fact a lot of American cheese is not cheese, according to the FDA. As it contains less than the required 51 percent of cheese. It is labeled as " pasteurized prepared cheese product or cheese food". Tasty is Chedder aged longer than 4 months. I buy the Mainland Tasty matured 18 months here in Thailand. Not cheap but dare i say tasty. But then all dairy is expensive in Asia.
I as a kid played hand ball you use a tennis ball and you can only use your hand it's like ping pong without the net
