Not all men are as good looking as us. Some men have no other choice.
Those ugly men should still have the right to do the same to their ugly female counterparts, such as Crazy Cat Lady, my former Maths teacher, and Carrie Bickmore!

Interesting fact:astonished: Even with the Roosters ever inflating sombrero the Roosters have only managed to win two Premierships in the last 17 years. { 2002, 2013} So I guess my Nana was right. Cheaters never really prosper and no matter how mush clucking Nick Politis does about his tri colours, they will always suck!!!

Banana’s are a herb
Well, they are kind of both.

A banana "tree" is a herbaceous plant (as opposed to a "tree" is its not "woody"), but the bananas on the tree themselves meet the definition of a fruit - they are what is growing on the plant and normally contain the seeds required for new life (although, in reality, commercially grown banana's seeds are largely useless these days).

Thankfully the last 23 years working as an agronomist in Tully NQ(Australia’s largest banana producing region)has helped me get a handle on what you’re saying,and as you correctly point out modern banana seeds are sterile and that is why TECHNICALLY they are agronomicly identified as Herbs,but thanks for the refresher lol
