Who remembers watching 'The Sullivans' on TV in the late 1970s and early 1980s? It was once one of Australia's most popular television shows. The show was set during World War II and followed the lives of the Sullivan family as they struggled to make ends meet. The show was fantastic and won numerous awards during its run. This series was an essential part of an Australian family's TV viewing habit; it was very wholesome and family-oriented. Sadly, they don’t make shows like these anymore.

A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands.
The waitress, taking another order at a table a few steps away, suddenly noticed the woman slowly sliding down her chair under the table, but the man stared straight ahead.
Ooh, this is a little rude and crude, but hilarious nonetheless. Make sure to read all the way to the end for the shocking twist. A big thank you to member @AnnaHelena for sharing this one. Check out the rest of the joke here.

The literal meaning of Tiramisu in Italian is “pick me up” or “cheer me up”. This iconic Italian dessert is served at the end of the meal that hopefully “cheers you up.” It consists of ladyfingers soaked in coffee, layered with a mixture of whipped cream and mascarpone cheese, and flavoured with cocoa.
