  1. 1:50 I'm relatively old when it comes to Freddo Frogs. I still remember the original chocolate Freddos that looked like the Australian Rocket Frog, and you could eat the back legs first, and then the front legs, and then work your way up the body from either end. No fillings. Just chocolatey frog goodness. Then they changed the frog! They turned it into some bizarre cartoon character that was looking at you as you ate it! And then they gave it INTESTINES! In the form of caramel or raspberry or some other sick, intestine-looking colour. My chocolate frog became a gut-ooze-filled monstrosity that nightmares were borne from.

  2. 8:00 Fun fact. When I lived in Far North Queensland ten years ago, there was a public phone in the village near where I lived, and one in the community further down the road. You couldn't use coins in the phone. You had to buy a phone card from the local store if you wanted to make a call. Why? Because in remote areas where there isn't surveillance or lots of witnesses, phone booths that took cash were a gold mine for travelers or locals short on cash. Making them free was a wise economical decision with respect to maintenance and repair by Telstra.

  3. Ian, you know I've been subbed to your channel for quite some time. However, can I just thank you (maybe) again for pronouncing Australian towns and cities like a proper Australian? One thing though. You can pronounce 'Australia' the way you do 'Ostralia', or you can also pronounce it, 'Ahstralia', Just a short 'ah' ...'Asrtralia'.
