Potato cakes are not scallops, wtf is wrong with some of you. I can at least comprehend why you might call it a hash brown, but "Scallop"? Tha fuk?

We still have scalloped potatoes every now and then when we have a roast. Usually with roast tomato and onion thingy with breadcrumbs maybe? I dunno, it's boss.

you'd get potato scallops (thin cut slices of potato, battered and fried) from any decent fish and chip shop in Qld.
here's the picture from the article, this is what you'd get with your minimum chips.
in primary school, it was the drinking trough rather than a fountain or a bubbler.
And what we now call bogans used to be known by us Banana-benders as bevins up until 1988 when Kylie Mole became popular and then it was bogan, bogan, bogan.
You could spot a bevin because their car would go BEEEEEVVVVVVV *change gear* BEEEEEEEVVVVVVVV *change gear* BEEEEEEVVVVVVV.

I mean the baked dish like this:
As opposed to a potato scallop which gets it's name from said dish, but is a single deep fried piece of potato.
Come to think of it, I see scalloped potatoes pretty often in chicken shops.
That's what comes into my head when I hear "scallops". This right here.

Those look like "potato fritters" to me. And now that I think of it, in Scotland I've only ever seen them on sale in Glasgow.

I go to the car park of Bunnings and get a sausage on a slice of bread but if you go to the parking lot of Home Depot you can get some nice Mexican.

Yea, they are pretty nasty.
Embrace it...
With arms wide open.....
Yea for about $10 an hour
. Have to throw in lunch too though.Aside from corner store (it would be corner shop) thats pretty much me. I'm from NSW.
Tuck shop is interesting, as thats what it was for me till high school, then it was known as canteen.
No wonder you move a ball forwards by throwing it backwards. Because that makes sense.
I thought it'd be "potato in batter".
We want to pass the ball to our teammates.
Not be all "Ahhh, a ball! PUNCH IT! KICK IT!"
Oh my stars.
Because the primary method of propulsion is meant to be a running human. The point of sport is to impose these sort of limitations. Otherwise it would be a race to see who could build the biggest meanest team of robots. Which sounds awesome actually. Where was I?

Pretty much the same as well apart from the corner store one. In the ACT there are no single corner stores, just a central hub of multiple "shops" in each suburb. Hence it was always just "going down the shops."
Looking for an opinion here: Anyone know (or think) the PSTV will get any discounts leading up to Christmas? I have a few options: Ordering from Amazon will get me a PSTV for $64AU (And that may drop), or I have a JB voucher (which I probably wouldn't spend on anything else anyway, sans PSN credit maybe) for $60, which would get me a PSTV for $40 (unless they might have a sale soon, but I doubt it).
What do?

This ever-growing linguistic debate reminds me of this one:
The Glaswegian word for going to the shops (to buy groceries) is "messages".
As in: "I'm going to get the messages."
In schools we use "tuck shops" for small stalls that sell sweets, chocolates, etc. The place we get meals is a "lunch hall" or "canteen".

Personally, if I was looking at Amazon, I'd wait for Black Friday sales in the US next weekend.

Considering how dead it is I'd wait until Boxing Day/Xmas to see if someone clears it out.
It's got 12 months left in it's lifespan, at most. Don't overpay!
Ah, that's only next weekend (as in, 7ish days)? Will do!
True. And I keep forgetting I'm in no actual rush for one, just as long as I get it with old firmware so I can do that unlock hack thing on it. I think it dropped to $20US not long ago, so maybe it'll hit that again.
I love this. I assume it comes from a time when someone would get their mail as part of their shopping.

My family is from Glasgow, but moved to the south east of the country when I was 4. My dad still used (and probably still uses) "messages" and growing up I just assumed he was going to the post office but picked up some bread and other stuff on the way.
When I was 17 I moved back to Glasgow to study. One of my new mates says "I need to get the messages at lunch." It actually had me legit shook for a while, before I laughed and said "I thought that was just something my dad said."

JB HiFi's website said they had the Xbox One Wireless Controller Adapter for Windows (omg that name) for pickup so I went in store and they were like "Oh no, only our city stores have them."
I fought through that heat for nothin'. Dude at the games counter didn't even know it was a thing so I had to give him the SKU from the web store.

When I was a Kid, my Grandmother once said that and I was completely confused! She was from just outside of Glasgow, Airdrie and Kirkintilloch. Yet I've never heard my mothers side of the family say it and they are from Edinburgh, a whole 50 miles away or so.

SydGaf- I have a lightning day trip to Sydney next week and want to know what I have to do to get from the domestic terminal at the airport to get to the CBD via the trail- In detail please since I rarely used public transport. (how I pay for tickets, etc)
IIRC there's a train station at the airport. You should still be able to buy a paper ticket from a machine - they accept both cash and credit/debit card. However, you can always opt to buy an Opal card from the train station. You can load it up with cash at the train station and then press it onto Opal terminals at train stations and on buses and trams - you just press it on the Opal machine at the train station you get on, and again after you get off. You can either recharge it online (you'd need to set up an account on Opal's website) or at train stations and places like 7-11.
Here's a website for Airport Link which will give you the schedule for the trains running from the domestic terminal into Sydney. They even have a video for getting to the domestic terminal train station and a video on using the Opal cards.
Hope that is somewhat useful.
There's literally a train line from Domestic to the CBD (Central, Town Hall, Wynyard roughly). Just go to the ticket machine, hit the button for the station, pay the cash (or go to the ticket window, domestic is usually open i think).
In fact, I'm fairly certain the Domestic Airport's station name is just Domestic Terminal or something.
