  • Taking its name from the English coastal mining town, Australia’s Newcastle also has a reputation for toughness and heavy toil that began when the convicts were first dropped there to collect coal from the beaches. But it’s also a town with a unique identity, a rich maritime history, and more than its share of eccentric characters.

      He really is the best. As most users, I read the comments before it gets started... If I see Tony's name, I am watching. No 2nd guessing.

    The word 'strumpet' dates back to, I think, Shakespeare's times. Anyone who's read Shakespeare and other classic literature has come across words like that.
    'Frisk' is still used today, in a similar manner, but used in reference to police 'frisking' suspects to recover any weapons or drugs that they may have hidden in their clothes.

    Cutting a bunch of perfectly pretty trees to create a vantage point? Is that what humanity considers more important? Destroying good, beautiful and useful parts of nature to litter the Earth's surface with useless stone blocks marking the places of corpse disposal of the specimens of a specie that is destroying the planet? I sure do hope they are going to plant some others in their place somewhere else D:

      Those trees may not even be native species, but I get what you're saying about simply ripping out quite large trees in order for people to have a nice view of the city.
      That area looks like it would be a great place to plant trees, bushes and wildflowers native to that part of Australia.
      I hope they take the opportunity to do that, and create a nice habitat for local native small wildlife.

    Here's a message to all them young men who think they're a tough thing because of the fashionable rags, chains and rings they wear: a true badass could be wearing his pyjamas and still doing badass things, like ordering the army to attack. It's not the clothes, at least not the clothes alone, that make a man a badass. Or a woman. Or any non gender specific person out there. It's the character, competences and deeds that do.

    Thank you for your videos mate.... there's one thing I have learned over the past few months, it's to stay calm, especially when it comes to investing in cryptocurrencies. Forget about predictions and start making good profits now, because future valuations are all speculation and guesswork.
