Mile Jedinak is another raised in the west but birthplace is Camperdown.

Otahuhu.

Which is basically East Sydney, unless the All Blacks are playing.

I am not 100% sure but I have a vague memory that the documents you get from the hospital needed to register a birth have the place of birth already filled in, with the hospital’s suburb. I don’t know if that’s always been the system, and have no idea what happens with home births and the like.

I think when you apply for a passport you can write what you like, though I imagine it probably helps if it matches your birth certificate.

When you eat Jaffas, does that make you a cannibal?

Born at St Margaret’s Hospital?

One of my old passports said this, now it says Sydney.

Same. Presumably St Vincents?

Edit: Vic is probably right. St Margaret’s!

Mine says Penrith. Scarlet letter

Careful, someone is going to ask your first pet and the street you grew up on soon.

I’d also be interested in the make and model of your first car, your mother’s maiden name, and the name of your first school.

Last 4 digits of your credit card, and if you wouldn’t mind reading back to me the 6 digit code I sent to “verify that it’s you I’m speaking to”.

Thanks.

Used the new exit out onto Chalmers from Central for the first time. Pretty convenient.

Ha, punny

Obvious old eat-in Pizza Hut in Mt Colah

Slightly off topic…

But the missus and I are texting back and forth about what we’re going to have for dinner. She wants Indian, I feel like Thai. I jokingly say we should get Russian (just sit and drink Vodka on the couch…maybe launch a special military operation on the side), but I don’t know of any Russian restaurants in Sydney (let alone near Campbelltown).

So I do a quick google and it turns out there’s a Russian club in Strathfield. The first review I see for it…

China and Russia share over 4,000km of border. I think it’s only logical that they would influence each others cuisine.

I don’t care that the only people that would live in those areas are Mongolians.
