Help please.

I think I picked up the phrase relating to George Dawes being described as "A nice big baby ripe for the pan" but I can't find any reference to it online.

I've been saying "ripe for the pan" for decades and my son, who is 18 just asked where it came from.

I'm assuming it's from Shooting Stars. If anyone knows an episode it will save me buying the DVDs and watching every episode.

I might have dreamt it. Thanks

I have and use an AFR subscription for work. There are so many lead articles on there now about the end of the world since negative gearing and CGT changes were announced.

It aparently threatens the safety of the banks, of any investment, of massive rent increases, super, the dollar, mortgage brokers, tax revenues and the whole well being of Australia.

I suppose they are catering to their audience but it's gone ridiculous.

My main Ausfinance question is, how much are you persuaded by online optinions? Do you think that your perspective on the finance world is influenced by social media?

There was a poster on the comments sections in the 2000s called WeLoveHAHA, who posted about MEGAMORTGAGEMUGS and the impending house price crash.

Do you remember him? Were you influenced by him?

Nine of the top twenty posts are on this topic today.

Is that what this sub is for?

It's really tedious, especially as most of them have weird compositions, which could have been avoided with a basic amount of research

I recently realised that "US Gold" was originally distributing games from the USA. Doh.

There must be games that never made it from one side to the other that we missed out on.

Just curious. What have you done than has made you happy/sad?
