Strewth, you know, most of that is true. By the way, I'm from Penriff . I call the wife a Dag, (for non Aussies, that's the poo that sticks to a sheeps hair on it's bum), and as for the Angels, No way, get ......d, f.... off. :D Ah, it's great to be an Aussie, were such a cultured lot.
Yes, hmmm culture, not quite so sure. I've seen Neighbours (that's how you lot all live isn't it, but with pet kangaroos and the odd koala sat on the sofa), and I didn't see an awful lot of culture, except of course when the Kennedys visited London :p : ;) :D
By the way Roby44, great post :up:
Of course we are a cultured lot!! :p :Quote:
