Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Decadian 🙂

I have similar background, Irish, Scottish, and German....proper cross-bred Aussie :D, a few generations, though 😉

Re loo....yes, is odd, I usually ask for toilet or loo. I remember a common one for men was going out to water the horses.

Squats, I know someone who dealt with them in China...not so bad when clean, but public ones, like all public loos. Also, one supplies ones own toilet paper. I was told some of the loos are pretty bad.

English, pronunciation even differs from state to state, especially Vic and SA.

My son did some searching about language, and Aussies have the purest form of English. That surprised me !!!
