Did boogie boarding but got dumped too often so gave up!
Do you remember the name of the late night pie shop on the corner of Campbell Parade?
Often a last stop after a dodgy night at the cheap Hotel Bondi!

I loved Aussie pies but never knew about the pie shop.
Always at the Bondi Hotel, drinking VB.
What year was you there?
Not really the thread for that.
Neither is your attempt at petty point scoring.
Point scoring? Lol.
You lot were soundly beaten (by your own ignorance) a long time ago.
The fact that not many black people are swimming athletes is because of the cost of swimming?
What about black Americans, black British and Europeans???
Oh, and it's all due to racism???
Never seen a black person being denied swimming membership.
I'm a committee member of a swimming club fyi.
You're talking total b@llox!

You think that swim teachers, trainers, coaches, etc are incapable of being racist?

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
If the tree falls in the forest and there is no-one to hear it, does it make a sound?
But there is also a provision of facilities aspect and a cultural aspect, and the cost.
Hot regions tend to enjoy open water swimming far more than colder regions. So the opportunity to train in proper facilities is limited.
Also the cultural desire of youngsters to follow their idols is much reduce if those idols do not exist.
How much does it cost to hire a skating rink or a swimming pool, etc, compared to an astro-turf or grass pitch.
Swimming pools can accommodate more swimmers training at the same time than say ice rinks and figure skating.
An example of all aspects is the low popularity of ice-hockey in Europe.

People who want other's personal data do not ask for their bank account details outright.
They begin with relatively harmless questions to encourage trust. They claim to share common values, experiences, etc.
They extract small details which go to make a bigger picture.
Yeah. First question, when were you in Australia. Next, what colour socks do you wear on Tuesday….

I don't think the colour of socks would be relevant as a social media chat up line.
More like the supposed sharing of common values and experiences would be a good base to start.
But nice resort to the ridiculous.
