Every school, primary and secondary has an oval. Smaller than the professional ones.
The fact that he was so shocked, with our land mass to population
My primary school didn't even have a blade of grass, let alone an oval.
@@becp488
One of the primary schools I went to didn't either...but the school had a system where student could leave school grounds to go to an oval and sports field one block away.
Cricket oval size in fact and maybe a footy oval depending on what state you’re in
Our school had two ovals, a few rugby fields, a full 400m running track and two soccer fields. The cross country track went around all of them, about 2km. Yeppoon, Queensland
Toyota Hilux isn't rare in Australia mate.
Our mine sites use them a lot.
They're the most common vehicle.
They are very rare in the US
🎵”Always Late in a Hilux V8” 🎶
National saying for a reason.. but you’ll Always get there.. eventually 😅
Always late in a hilux v8... mate they dont make V8s so it was probably some shitbox with a commodore motor in it half assed together. If it had the 4 cylinder diesel in it itl go a million miles further than any v8
in the hilux anyway... idiots. v8 hilux lol you know your not australian when you say something like that
yup, if you want reliability & cheap servicing/car that will run even if you miss services, then toyota's the way to go. My mechanic told me "don't you dare buy a European car, buy a toyota!" cause he knows how bad I am at actually getting my car serviced. He told me straight out my new car would be a write off within 3 years if I buy a European one with the way I service it lol. My current corolla hasn't been serviced since some time before covid, can't remember when, is due for an oil change at least....... Battery & wipers are the only things I've had replaced on it
FriendlyJordies is a quite polarising person here in Aus. People seem to love him or hate him. He does investigative journalism that mainstream won't touch, but delivers it in exactly the same way as the video you just watched, which can be a bit off-putting to some. He recently had his house burned down by ..... persons unknown..., but he has been investigating some powerful figures here recently and is no stranger to controversy.
His investigative journalism is bias towards the left so no he's not as brilliant as you would like to suggest. I'd even dare to suggest he's being bankrolled by the likes of Kevin rudd etc 🤷♂️
It's the delivery that sold me on him back when it was all silly wig skits lol
@@heatherrowles9930 he is homeless, it was gutted. Facts matter
I'm glad you're supporting Friendly Jordies. He is a national hero currently fighting corruption. They fire bombed his house for the work he's doing. He's got some great Aussie content as you've discovered to go with his political commentary and satire.
his dumb criminals series he did a few years ago is hilarious
I definitely second this.
WHO fire bombed his house?
@Wandaful Wendy probably bruz 😆
@@Wandafulofit either the federal Fixated Persons Unit, John Barilarro (bruz), or Clubs NSW. Im not sure if there are other suspects. And there were two fire bomb attempts. The second one worked.
Very very very full on
Every school does indeed have an oval. Not all of them the size of a professional AFL Oval, but they all have one.
Maybe in Victoria, my school had one for both sports, Rugby League and Soccer.
not anymore they don't! Plenty of overpopulated schools that have lost them
My kids high school in Qld has several - one for valley ball or netball, a soccer field and a rugby field, plus a massive sports stadium. QLD regional. Though I do tend to get sick of sport culture dominating everything,
Now that you mention it, every school I went to had a full sized Aussie Rules field (yes, called an oval and yes, it was where all the fights were coordinated because it would take the teachers minutes to run across it to break it up).
The Reject Shop sells overseas knockoffs of brand names, so the fun-size Twix were probably made some where in Asia or the middle east, you've got to read the fine print and always remember "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is".
Or they were often stale
"Its an acquired taste" 😛😛
The toothpaste is in another’s Asian language
@@lizstyla88 yup buying big batches cause they get a good deal cause the whole batch of millions is about to expire seems to be a common technique they use too
That moment you buy chocolate only you realise you and they have a _very_ different definition of milk chocolate.
The packaging: milk chocolate
Me: This is _dark_ chocolate, and not even good dark chocolate.
Although dark chocolate in general has been getting more common as part of other chocolate items even in regular Aussie stores these days. Dark chocolate used to be mostly just for plain dark chocolate rather than chocolate covered snacks but now you have to watch out that you pick up the right snack.
It's true about the bananas mate.
If bananas are green you put them in a paper bag with oranges and the gas the oranges give out makes them ripen much faster.
Doing this with ripe bananas, makes them go brown and rot much faster.
Can also use oranges to ripen avocado faster too.
I think you may have this the wrong way around (though I see 10 people have liked your comment so it's possible I'm deluded here). Bananas produce a lot of ethylene (or ethene) gas which will speed up the ripening/rotting process of other fruit near them. Though most fruits produce small amounts of ethylene, this is nothing like the amount from bananas, and citrus fruits produce considerably less ethylene than other fruits. I guess it's possible that oranges in a bag with green bananas could ripen them ever-so-slightly faster, but bananas themselves will rapidly ripen any other fruit they're near.
@@ianwalker5842 correct.
Yep,I was told to ripen a green avocado quicker throw a bunch of banana's directly on top of them in the fruit bowl and it worked brilliantly
Yeah, pretty much every school really does have an oval, sometimes more than 1. The kids who used to smoke at school would always be at the back of the school oval smoking to hide from the teachers. Wasn't uncommon to see students being marched by a teacher from the back of the oval towards the principals office, occasionally with a bong as well
Ahhh, memories 😂😂😂
😂
That was me in the 80's! Recess and lunch time in high school was hanging around on the footy oval, smoking (ciggies or joints/pipes), and kicking the footy around!
Most schools in australia were built 100 years ago, 100 years ago towns were small surrounded by bushland, so they built school's on the edge of towns and they had all the land they wanted for most school's in west sydney atleast that each school has, a rugby field, a cricket field, a soccer field , small training fields like nets for batting practice, and 2 basket ball courts, on sports day all sports can be played at the same time in there own area, so when we vs other schools on sports day each sport does there own thing.. if you look at schools on google earth from above view, youl see most aussie schools are surrounded by huge sport fields and empty fields, but there empty for a reason for obscure sports like, long distance cross country, or javelin throwing , or for things like nature studies, or studying farming and animal husbandry alot of schools have a mini farm with cows pigs sheep goats vegetable gardens ..
In the west yes, in areas that have seen large population increases, such as the north shore & central coast, there's basically no oval space left, they're all covered in demountables & kids have lunch in shifts to use the tiny open areas available to them
@@mehere8038 yeah it makes sense in those areas that may have happened, it would have been much smaller than a bit west back in the day too , because lets face it its one the most wanted most expensive places in sydney today and 150 years ago.. and yeah when i was in school in blacktown we had the demountables you mentioned, and a few extra rows of them are there today 20 years later , but those ares scholls are better off because housing was built right upto school bounds back in the 60s and 70s, so that helped lick in the schools hige sizes including surrounding paddocks and stuff so they had room for 50 new demountables and still you wont see a decrease in land, to be honest you see an increase in new sport fields and mini farms
@@4kays160 North Shore was also subject to political games, with labor closing schools & selling off the land in areas where it knew it was never going to win any seats, while there wasn't the money available to liberal if they tried the same stunt in areas they weren't going to win, due to lower property prices. Central Coast I don't know how it happened though, should have been the same situation as western sydney, but it was the first to suffer serious overflows
That long thing at the game you saw is a beer snake. If you have managed to gather a few empty plastic beer glasses at the cricket (or another sport) together with people in chatting distance, you might start stacking them together until you get a foot or two of empty plastic beer glasses together. If you then hold up your baby beer snake above your head, you are sending a direct invitation to every other patron in immediate chucking distance to gather up their own empties and chuck them your way, thus helping you to grow the beer snake. If it gets really big, people may begin to gather empties for you from far and wide.
In Australia that snake will be clear, in America it would no doubt be red. You seem to have red plastic beer cups over that way.
That was a funny description of how to make a beer snake 😂
Our ovals are just a flat grassy field used for various sports but doesn't usually have the seats around.
Normally has a oval shape that's made white chalk powder, and is 400 metres round in circumference.
Then lanes are marked around that.
Friendly Jordies was a target of a NSW Politician. The State police were tracking and intimidating him because he hurt their feelings. Yes, most schools have Ovals. My school growing up had 2 Ovals and a Soccer ground.
A thieving Polly that made a million-dollar job for himself in America witch inclued a A top end apartment in New York city
all with Ausie tax payers money. Anybody else be in jail but the rich & powerful never held accountable
Hilux is very common Australia.
Every school in Oz has at least 1 oval, sometimes more. And usually has a bunch of other outdoor sport areas- cricket pitch, basketball court, etc.
I went to a relatively small (~700 students) public high school in a somewhat low income area and the school had an oval (complete with cricket pitch), a soccer field, cricket nets, 3 tennis courts, netball courts, an indoor basketball court and a couple of outdoor basketball courts.
our schools are also quite 'outdoor' based (unless you live in an inner city area, even then its not to bad). there tends to be 'blocks' of classrooms instead of just 1 big building. so you will have walkways between them. we also don't have cafeterias, you just eat your lunch outside somewhere (either packed or bought from the canteen).
For my school 700 students is alot, my school has around 400 students.
My primary school (around 200 students), had 2 ovals as well as 2 sports court things
700 is not small..There were 64 kids all together at my primary school. We had 2 ovals.
@@Vicky_C87 small for a city... it was the smallest high school in the area.
@@myopinion69420 yup 700 is small for a high school. I think people might be confusing primary & high schools, 700's big for a primary school in many areas, but tiny for a high school
Oval is a generic term for the open grass area at schools where students play during break time. Although it is occasionally an Aussie rules field
Friendlyjordies is awesome, he does tour. I've seen him live and he is hilarious but also is a strong advocate for quality journalism and holding politicians accountable.
I like Friendly Jordies, especially his investigations into corrupt politicians.
His recall of typical Aussie school life is very much from a male viewpoint. Which does make sense...
A girl's experience of school is quite different to a boy's.
Hahaha. Every school has an oval. That’s where the kids do sports like footy!!
I'm so glad you discovered friendlyjordies
All the state schools near me have ovals, tennis courts, swimming pools, gyms etc and the private schools have even more facilities:
Friendly Jordies always cracks me up 🤣😂 he does a great sketch on life in a country town very funny.
Yes Ryan, you do need binoculars at some school ovals. The last school I taught at in Brisbane, the oval was 250m long and over 150m wide in some places, but the width varied considerably. It was carved out of a past landfill in the early '80s and has extremely steep sides. This is similar to many in Brissy and I imagine all over Oz. In the time since it was built' the surface is amazing, and the school is no longer on the outskirts.
Once had an angry student run at us with a stick from across the oval, luckily the distance was vast enough that he had time to think and get puffed 🤣
I love how 90% of what he was talking went riht over your head 🤣
that's what i'm saying
GO-LO was a discount variety store that sold knock off or confectionery (lollies and chocolates) that was originally not meant to be sold in Australia. Even band name chocolates were sold cheap and made out of lower quality ingredients to where they tasted nothing like how it should be like when you buy them from the proper supermarket
Toyota Hilux is very common here in Australia, I have one as a "second car" to my Honda Civic, especially for trips to the big box store Bunnings.
Friendlyjordies recently got his house firebombed allegedly by "clubs NSW" because he was looking into their money laundering complacency. Worth a sub if you want to know what's happening in Australian politics or even if you just want the odd laugh at a video like this.
Could have been the illegal forestry people, Bruz, the fixated persons unit numpty, or ant number of people. Obviously I'm not trying to minimize it, but there's many suspects
@@_BangDroid_ list is endless hey
Every school has an “oval”. A grass oval field that we play sports (PE) on and/or play on at recess and lunch. Also we don’t all swear or keep dogs outside etc! :)
Toyota Hilux is almost as common an kangaroos mate
They so sick skids too
Should definitely watch more friendly jordies. His Aussie courts and rbt/highway patrol videos are great
dont forget anything relating back to school days lol.. AND yilmaz
You should definitely check out more of Friendly Jordies. His “True stories from country towns” videos are hilarious.
Schools do have ovals 😅 not always size of the afl oval but mine is. It’s just like having an open grass area and some schools have a small oval and a big oval for people of different ages, it fits 😂
e
Friendly Jordies is one of the best Aussies that have shown people doing the wrong things especially pollies the worst thing is that some have taken upon themselves to make Friendly Jordies life is threaten.
Hi Ryan, new subscriber to your channel. Just wondering if you are a Survivor fan? Because a new season of Australian Survivor has just started which will definitely give you a great insight into some more aspects of Australian culture.
Bananas make other fruit ripen faster than usual because they release significant quantities of a gas called ethylene (also known as ethene). This gas causes ripening/softening/rotting of adjacent fruit by the breakdown of cell walls, conversion of starches to sugars and the disappearance of acids.
When you buy some fruits like pears and stone fruit, they are never ripe enough to eat straight away. Put them in a fruit bowl with a banana or 2 for a day or two to ripen, then in the refrigerator for a day then get stuck in. Ethene in the gas used commercially to ripen fruit picked green in order for it to be available in the off season.
Friendly Jordies is my favourite Australian comedian :D I've gone and seen him live twice myself. He's a big political commentator here, to the point that he's home was fire bombed and he had to slow down a bit. Won a defamation case against a big political figure, exposed a bunch more for dirty dealings. And did it in a way thats hilarious! I recommend some of his earlier skits for some Australian humour. His jokes revolve around the scummier side of Australia that you'd probably not see much of if you were a tourist.
Toyota Hiluxes are everywhere here. Everywhere. Theyre used in the mining farming tourism horticultural and trades industries. As well as privatehome use. They have/had an awesome reputation for toughness and reliability. Tho' they are the most expensive of that type of ute. There a lot of other brands that are now that are giving it a run for the money. And yes bananas produce ethylene which makes other fruit ripen and rot quickly. Yes most schools have an oval for sports. Its big enough to play footy, soccer and outdoor PE classes (physical education).
If you haven’t already, please review the legendary “just waiting for a mate” video. On behalf of Aussie, thanks
Love your videos! I sorta feel like your part of Australia now hahaha. Nah the hilux is rare in the usa, they are like f trucks but smaller. Toyota Landcruisers, Hilux Prado and the FJ old and newer like you have there are well known for being one of the most reliable cars. I mean if terrorist use hiluxes to mount guns on the back you know they gotta be built tough.
KfC is also hit and miss here.
Confectionary is basically candies and chocolates. or sweet snacks. Go lo and discount stores sell crap ripoffs. Coles is just a grocery store here like woolies or woolworths.
As an Aussie an oval is like a big field to play on
All dogs should be inside if you class them as family
Modern laws are dog abuse... back in the late 70s our suburbs dogs were able to hang in packs just like the teenagers!
@@bloozee pets shouldn't be left out at night as they can get hypothermia and are more likely to get ticks and other diseases. Pet owners that leave dogs outside all times should be jailed/fined and not allowed to own pets
@@blairchristie910 never left the cattle dog out at night . She slept in the bed. She travelled everywhere we did in the car. ( she had to as she could get to the border of the suburb before my Morris1100 could get there) but she was able to live as a dog with the other dogs during the day. ( I think her footprints are still on the sidewalk concrete in the old hood now, 40 years later).
@@blairchristie910 don't have those issues in Canberra generally. Cats are now restricted to indoor only by law now, (which would mean our last two cats would never have moved in to our house as they did)
@@blairchristie910 if hyperthermia is an issue get a pet bear.
Check out the story about friendlyjordies getting firebombed a few months ago
FriendlyJordies is awesome, can be a bit rude at times, but even I can look over that when he gets stuck into the leaders of our country. He's a good guy fighting for truth and justice with some comedy thrown in every where.
Candy or Easter chocolate in Go-Lo or Crazy Clarks (99c stores) taste so bad! It's the same chocolate brand, however they just taste different. That's the joke. You KNOW when your mom or grandma has bought you a 99c version of a candybar. You just know it.
I think the difference is that they're either stale or not made in Australia.
Poor bloke had his home burned down after upsetting the wrong people.
I own, and use, a 1994 Hilux Ute, less than 200k on it.
Jordan Shanks is a legend, I'll let the others tell about his escapades, they no doubt will. He voices a few characters, featured in the Disney+ "Koalaman", which stars the voice of Hugh Jackman. This is probably the Australian equivalent of South Park. Once you know Jordie's voice, you can't miss it. Legend. th-cam.com/video/Hj2qOaKanC0/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant video! Thanks man, Jordy rocks.
Jordie is a fking smart and hearty guy who's done a lot of active journalism, not to mention many incredibly well produced hilarious videos... but the poor guy's taking a break after he got too close to the gambling industry and they set fire to his house
Yes, every high school has an oval. Same with primary (elementary) schools, though they are often a little smaller.
Unfortunately the algorithm is super dumb and nothing more than a glorified look up table. Aussie is a very common 🅿orn search term, especially in the US and UK.
There's a bunch of words that TH-cam has just shadow banned because of this without context which makes the platform increasingly difficult to use.
How bizarre! My work used to filter emails and block any with ‘forbidden’ words. A friend kept asking me why I wasn’t replying to her messages. Turned out they kept getting blocked. We couldn’t work out why so she sent the sentence broken up into 1 word emails to see which word was getting blocked. Turns out it was “lunch” ! She’d email “want to have lunch” and our email system deemed that to be offensive!
Pretty much every school has at least one oval. We have 2 square kilometres spare for every single person 🤣
Come to Western Australia... us West Aussies aren't uncouth and call fine characters like yourself, the C-bomb... we have manners and we talk nicer. We actually can speak the Queen's now the King's English .... the West Coast is the Best Coast... the guy in your video is nothing but a to-and-from... Pom... and Aussie rules footy is the best code of football... PERIOD!!! cheers big Ears!!! 😘 Western Australia 🇦🇺
Every school I know has an oval. It’s where they play sports and mostly congregate at lunch time.
And yes, when you put a banana with other fruit it makes the other fruit ripen quicker.
Please react to more *Friendlyjordies*
u see more hulixs then u see babys cying
Go-Lo is like a dollar shop. They somehow sell brand name confectionery (lollies, sweets, candy) much cheaper than Coles or Woolies. And the legend says they taste like shit. I've never tested it. They could be Chinese knock offs, but i don't know.
Yes! Most high-schoolsand primary schools have ovals.....Friendly Jordies is a national treasure, subscribe immediately!!!
Yes, I didn't go to see the Teacher at lunchtime for swearing during singing because I didn't swear, I said the words of the song, but she was learning how to be mean from Miss Smith who hated me because I couldn't remember my birthday and had runny homemade glue which I kept on spilling, so I didn't go but she remembered and called me out of class to go to her class to be roasted and humiliated in ftont of my little sisters who were in that class but it didn't work because I was innocent and just thought I don't like you any more Miss Appleton and I will never be nice to you ever again and I don't care for you or Miss Smith. By the way I spent all lunchtime playing on the new fence where she could see me ignoring her.😊
"Like a wizard in Diagon Alley".
Lol. That got me.
At least he knows of a place in The Wizarding World of *Harry Potter.*
And my animals are in when the heat is at its worst, I don't know many people who leave their animals outside during high temps. we had a number of ovals to chose from, we used to be a town out in the sticks but its been built up for a few years now so properties are getting smaller. not many pigeons in shopping center food halls unless their outdoors. the beer bit is a beer snake plastic cups. Hilux awesome vehicle for beach fishing, outback driving and occasionally bush bashing. (or just getting up stubborn tracks)
1:40 thats a beer cup snake.. (thats a LOT of beer thats been drunk)
Go-Lo is a discount store, the Twix are probably "out of date"... Thats true, about the bananas..
EVERY high school has an oval (even if its dirt), mine had 5.. But we were a "football school".. (Its now been built on mostly).
Geordies is a funny guy, great investigative journo and comedian.
Also a Milo Cough is probably one of the worse things that can happen when you have Milo.
Especially if you have it straight dry off the spoon. Yew.
I love how you learned the word 'Arvo' in one of your videos and now you use it at the start of every video. Love your channel mate and I hope you get the following you deserve. 🖖😎✌️
Confused how you're surprised about the ovals, out here in the country there's a full size oval in every town and every school, primary and secondary. Regional centres have multiple, I went to high school in the regional centre and our school alone had 3.
Hilux rare? Australia’s highest selling vehicle….
Every high school has an oval, even every primary school as well…
Those Hilux are everywhere in Australia! My neighbour has 1 and so does about half a dozen others in my town and Um my town only has about 7 houses 🤣
So relieved, thanks Ryan! 😃 Watch Mojo, yeah/nah! Freedom of having fun, drinking and sport, exactly!! 👍 Sorry mate! 🤜🤛 No worries mate! 😉 KFC skin, just a taste! 😋 Lollies (candy) from last Christmas! 😜👍 Poor dog! 😒 Quoting online advice from ex swimmers! 😏 Boys! 😆 Most high schools here has a big oval! 👍 Settle down mate! 👍 American Pickers, was cool! 🤣 Fun! 😁
Mate, you seriously need to check out Friendly Jordies' full content....shit got real with them!
Friendly jordies has an awesome channel, he's a great comic and also and exposing journalist, you should check out more of his vids, I would love to see your reaction to his stories from Australian country towns videos
They found the capsule by driving down the highway at 70 kph with a special detector in the car . The capsule was a couple of metres off the side of the road but I don’t know how long it took
Friendlyjordies is a legend. His personal channel jordan shanks will make you better.
Friendly Jordies is one of Australia's best youtube content creators, if bot the best 👌 you should watch more even if you don't review
What a shame the capsule wasn't permanently dumped in Alice Springs...
I attended 9 schools in 3 different states (primary & high school) and all of them had at least one sports oval (field) or more. Some had (outdoor) multi purpose sports courts - basketball, volleyball, tennis etc (older ones were asphalt - newer ones rubber crumb polymeric surfaces). Then we normally had 1 or 2 indoor gym / courts. Besides competing against other schools on their home grounds, the only other sport we did “off campus” was swimming - this was normally at the local (council) swimming pool.
Honestly? Pretty much every school does have multiple football fields
friendly jordies exposed a high ranking politician and the gambling industry and then had his house fire bombed and the politician used anti terror police to intimidate and arrest his employees .
The poor neglected outside dog in a quarter acre block is so real, burbs to bush.
Gday. For a political savvy guy he is "as rough as guts"!!!!!!!
Lots of schools have cricket/footy ovals. My high-school had 3. But most suburbs have at least one oval, so often a local hang out for teenagers.
7:46 "...your sister" only applies in Tasmania and certain parts of Queensland.
I saw Jordie on Aug 14 when he was on tour 3 years ago - he is brilliant~!
You should look at FriendlyJordies beer review.
It's a beer snake. Drink. Put cup together
RYAN.. KFC is Absolute trash in Australia
The twix in Go-Lo store will not be as fresh as in Coles supermarket because Go-Lo is a dollar store.
Ryan, I have a Dad Joke for you..
I got an email the other day about reading maps backwards..
It was SPAM...
Boom Tish..
Thankyou Im here all week, please try the fish..
😆. You do matinees? You’d kill it on an RSL tour. PS, not an insult. I love my RSL.
They found the radioactive pill and it looks chewed on. See, an answer to “do Aussies have TicTacs”.
KFC is foul fowl. Dried out and disgusting.
Always separate bananas from other fruit.
Quidditch came up when he looked up oval 😂
Loved it. I didn’t want it to end. I think the poor dog chewed on the radioactive capsule.
I'm afraid it was one of those super buff Kangaroos and we are about to face an army of Mutant Killer Roos.
@@Mirrorgirl492 lol na it's gonna be goannazillla for sure
There's a Graphic Novel in this...
Oh and if you're buying chocolates/ lollies from the Reject Shop (what the US would call a dime store I think) it's usually a cheap knock off and not actually twix. Hence why it tastes different to what you get at Coles or woolies
That statement he made about bananas is a true statement.
Google it.
Friendly jordies is a national hero! Check out more of his stuff😂
Happy Arvo Bloke.
Friendly Jordies is one of the best Aussies on TH-cam
A school without an oval?? What planet are you actually from, Ryan?
Every high school has an oval. Mine also had a hockey field, swimming centre, gymnasium and numerous basketball courts and cricket nets.
My mates and I were dumb as dogshxx but then again we went to a sports high school.
The playing surface is oval in shape, 135m to 185m long and 110m to 155m wide. The preferred senior oval size is 165m x 135m as this provides the greatest flexibility to cater for all standards of play.
In the case of school ovals they can be even smaller and somewhat ironically, a different shape.
