That's right folks, the greatest country in the world now has it's very own thread here on the board. Southern cat is President and Chief Executive Officer, I'm the Vice President and Chief Operations Officer ( COO for short, which is appropriate as there could be one very soon ) and Lin is Treasurer.
Of course the thread is open to all nationalities as we don't discriminate. The bar is open 24 hours a day and the drinks are free. It's for all things Australian. Jokes, news stories, sport, friendly rivalries anything at all. If it involves an Aussie, this is the place to post about it.
Now where the heck is SC, so he can cut the ribbon to declare this place open. I'm thirsty. (http://bestsmileys.com/drinking/17.gif)

As usual you are way behind the times my friend. I have already drunk the first beer in celebration of this thread. Ummm well was that for some thing else, I can't remember. Old age an all.
Let the games/wise cracks and friendly stories begin.

Sounds like a great thread to me. O0
If the grog is FREE then I'll shout the next round.
So when do we have the first meeting when we declare war on non drinkers and Aussie bashers?
You two are so trusting making me treasurer. If I can get in enough funds I will be on the first plane home and the folk of Hazelbrook in the Blue Mountains had better watch out.
Australia you ROCK.

You did say,"It's for all things Australian. Jokes, news stories, sport, friendly rivalries anything at all. If it involves an Aussie, this is the place to post about it".
A Man has an interview for immigration into Australia. The interviewer says to him: "Do you have a police record?" "What?" replies the man. "Do you still need one to get in?" ;D ;D
The seven dwarfs went off to work in the mine one day, while Snow White stayed at home to do the housework and cook their lunch.
However when she went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs.
Tearfully she yelled in to the mine entrance: "hello - is anyone there. Can anyone hear me".
A voice floated up from the bowels of the mine:
" Australia will win The Ashes"
"Thank god" said Snow White "at least Dopey's still alive"
;D ;D ;D ;D Sorry;)

Well after those jokes and the fact you are related to a sandgroper we might have to hold a meeting at the pub to decided membership rules. ^-^

Random memory here: back in the 4th grade, I remember doing a report/presentation over the Tasmanian Devil. I remember thinking I wouldn't want to happen upon one of those little fellas!

Mark Webber considers Ferrari's Fernando Alonso to be his main threat in Japan. Let's hope he can stay in front!
It would be fantastic if Mark wins The Formula One World Drivers' Championship :)
I am a Jenson Fan and it's very unlikely he will retain his F1 drivers' title, So I hope Webber can win it this year O0

Getting back to all things Aussie.
What's everyones favorite All Time Aussie TV show?
Anyone can answer this as I'm sure with those things hurtling through space we have the capability of transmitting TV shows on the other side of the world.
Mine is Skippy.
I just loved how he could open doors with his paws. One genius marsupial, that one.

Well it's certainly not Prisoner Cell Block H ;)
I also loved Skippy The Bush Kangaroo. Yes, Skippy was a super-intelligent kangaroo who knew when things were wrong.
She had that incredible ability to tell her master exactly what was going on using just her normal animal speech. ;D ;D
Australia's answer to Lassie
Lin, the stories were also the same..Someone falls down a well or off a cliff and the dog or the Kangaroo goes to get help.. Wow! even Flipper the dolphin couldn't do that! :D ;D ;D
I also enjoyed watching The Paul Hogan Show in the 1980s on Channel 4 in the U.K. :)
I've also spend many good hours with the kids on a saturday morning,(when they were younger)watching the Wiggles and dancing along with Dorothy the Dinosaur. ;D

Well as it is you 2M I guess we could make an exception. You have a little of Aussie humour in your make up. However silver horse (mule) shoes are not enough to get me home so I will write an IOU for solid gold mule shoes that you can sign thereby allowing you to be a little highier than an honorary member of the Aussie community. ;D ;D ;D

More Aussie jokes ;)
What do you call an Aussie who scores well in an IQ test ? A cheat. ;)
Sheila walked into the kitchen to find Bruce stalking around with a fly swatter.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Hunting Flies" He responded.
"Oh. Killing any?" She asked.
"Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied.
Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?"
He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone."
;D ;D ;D ;D
What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick ;)

Well it's after 4pm here down under, so it's officially the weekend!!
The footy season has finished so this weekend it's the Bathurst 500 car race. The most gruelling endurance race for touring cars in the world I read somewhere long ago in the dear dim past.
What is a touring car anyway? I thought it was something you went on vacation in.
I'm not a rev head so it's not my thing but I'll probably watch a bit in the club Sunday afternoon after another woeful 18 holes I'm sure.
Oh, time the first drink of the weekend. Anyone else sitting at the bar or am I here on my Pat Malone?

Pardon the thread hijack. While you're enjoying your beer, you might take a gander at this list of "Major League Baseball Players Born in Australia."
http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/birthplace.php?loc=Australia
The fellow on top, Grant Balfour, has an unfortunate name for a pitcher. If the pitcher "grants" (or throws, anyway) "Ball Four," it means the batter gets to take first base without benefit of a hit.
-
I wonder what kind of alcohol bots like to drink, there's currently 28 crammed into the bar here at the moment. I spilled some beer out of a schooner getting back to the table.
Sorry SC that was your schooner, mine made it back full to the top. ;)

Looking at that list of baseballers. I would have thought there would have been more. There's a big gap between Joe Quinn finishing in 1901 till the next player in the mid 1980's.
-
The bots high tailed it out of here when they saw SC's face when he got his beer only 3 quarters full. :D

The ARDC Bathurst 1000 Touring Car Race was a must for me. We used to go there every year and as we were non-driving members of the ARDC we could camp on the area in the centre of the course. I know it has altered now but I am still interested in it. In my day Alan Grice was one of the personalities. He was renown for shunting other drivers. I had a goat who used to butt me all the time so I called him Gricey. :) I liked the whole atmosphere up there and the race was fantastic.

Lin, Thanks for sharing your stories on the Bathurst Touring Car Race.

You can tell I'm not a rev head, I couldn't even get the name of the race right and halved the length of the race.
Bathurst 1000. (I'm a little surprised SC didn't pick up on that and give it to me) :D

Bugger, missed a golden opportunity. :-[

Getting back to the Aussie films, three films that I love that haven't been mentioned yet.
The Club (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080546/)
I'm sure this may be a favorite of SC's as well. A comedy about the struggles of an AFL club both on the field and in the boardroom. Jack Thompson, Graeme Kennedy are the stars.
Crackers (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119103/)
A Christmas comedy from the late 1990's. Warren Mitchell is a riot as the grandfather.
Dad And Dave: On Our Selection (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112775/)
Leo McKern, Joan Sutherland and Geoffry Rush before he hit the big time and became an Academy Award winner star as the quintessential Aussie family back in the day in the bush.
All comedies for some reason. :)

Hey 2M well spotted picture. Looks like the qualifier will have to be on Sunday or Mark starts on pole as they will join the grid in their race results positions.
-
Which did you enjoy best, the F1 race at Adelaide or the Bathurst Touring Car Race?
Well that is a difficult question 2M because they are so different. I suppose the Bathurst became something we did often and the Adelaide Gran Prix was a one off. The atmosphere at the GP was electric and the build up amazing. Bathurst is not over in two hours or so as is an F1 race. The camping and the BBQ's plus meeting up with old friends makes it a weekend to remember. I met some of the drivers, something you are not usually lucky enough to do at an F1 event. The feeling at Bathurst is more of a holiday weekend away with a fantstic touring car road race thrown in for good measure. In my day if you arrived on the Friday it was possible to drive round the course. Amazing to think you were driving the same track as the racing drivers. :)
-
Hey 2M well spotted picture. Looks like the qualifier will have to be on Sunday or Mark starts on pole as they will join the grid in their race results positions.
Lin, I have just heard that if no qualifying session is possible ahead of the race the cars will start in numerical order.
This means Jenson would be on pole :)

So has anyone been watching the Commenwealth Games?
Is anyone interested?
I haven't seen much at all. The aussie's are doing well as they always do, but seriously, with all the hassles India had getting prepared, I think everyone but the diehards and family members of the competitors had had enough before it began.
From the little I have seen, there seems to be a lot of vacant seats at the venues. I saw a quick snippet of a tennis match and at a winning point, it sounded like four people clapping in the stands.
-
I have seen bits on the news and when waiting for a program I want to watch. I am happy to see Australia doing so well. I do agree there are not many spectators and I can see India making a real loss on the Games. People would be turned off by the reports of problems with the accommodation and safety threats. Quite a few of the top sportsman and women have stayed away so the competition is not a good as it could have been.
On a radio program I heard someone say that India could host the Olympic Games. I don't see that happening now, nor them affording it. Perhaps I am wrong but the reception to the Commonwealth Games has been quite poor.
Keep going Aussies and bring home the gold.
-
So has anyone been watching the Commenwealth Games?
Hardly at all myself. Usually I watch bits here and there but yeah it's been a bit of a stuff up. At least most of the athletes are enjoying it now.
Btw. The Spell Check button is right next to the Preview button. ;)

For me in this chilly country Porridge has to win, even in the summer.
I cheat though and buy the microwave one flavoured with Golden Syrup!! Yum!!

I know we have a cricket thread here but since this will be a discussion about the Australian captain Ricky Ponting, I'll post it here. I don't want to kick the guy when he's down but I agree with some comments in the paper this week that it's time he stood down from the captaincy. His form is woeful and heading into the Ashes series next month, trying to concentrate on your batting and captaining the side at the same time is not going to fix the problem.
Unfortunately the player they want to replace him with is struggling as well. A batting average in the single figures in the two tests in India didn't help Michael Clarke's cause. So I'm calling for a complete clean out of the team for the Ashes series. The Sheffield Shield has already strted down here so the players showing form in the next month should be chosen for the first test against the Poms in November. Of course it won't happen as it's like it always is. It's harder to get out of the team than it is to get in.
Who's with me?
-
Remember Mark Taylor had a similar form slump but he turned it around.
Yeah maybe some surprise cullings might get some players to have a hard look at themselves.

Good luck Webber. O0

TWOMULES, your weekly pay equals mine. There won't be any trouble with the exchange rate. >:D
Does Mr & Mrs 2 Mules get free accommodation in sunny Florida?
Of course! We're only and hour from Disney and all the other places of entertainment. We run a very basic bed and breakfast. If we're home, the bed is made up and there's food in the kitchen for breakfast. Help yourself! If we're away, the bed is there (you might have to make it up first) and there won't be much in the way of food in the house. Of course, we do provide free taxi service when we're home. ;D
The money that I make on the side from running a bed and breakfast will go toward my trip to Australia. 8)

Well it's the evening before golf where I try and psych myself up for a big game, but this weekend I've said to myself, "Stuff It!". I really have no interest in playing and with the weathermen forecasting rain, it's going to be even more miserable out there, so I'm going to have a few drinks tonight, since I'm not driving in the morning and not even think about golf.
Who's joining me for a few drinks, before dinnertime?

mark webber lines up second on the grid for tomorrow's F1 Korean Grand Prix.
If he wins tomorrow, is it enough to become Champion for the year?
-
No! A win is currently worth 25 points, but we still have two rounds left after tomorrow. At the moment any of the top 5 could win but it will probably be one of the top three who takes the Championship.
SK, This is the current top 5 drivers standings:
1 Mark Webber Australian RBR-Renault 220
2 Fernando Alonso Spanish Ferrari 206
3 Sebastian Vettel German RBR-Renault 206
4 Lewis Hamilton British McLaren-Mercedes 192
5 Jenson Button British McLaren-Mercedes 189

Looks like it will come down to the final race.
Shame the last race isn't in Australia like it used to be.

SK, I used to buy Vegemite regularly. However, I didn't use it as a spread. It was the only yeast extract that I could get for my cooking. If I try hard enough, I can find it here in the USA.
Your comment about Americans spreading it so thick reminds me of the first time my dad had some Marmite. He was eating breakfast in the cafeteria of the college where he was a guest lecturer, and accidentally put Marmite instead of Cadbury's chocolate spread on his bread. (The strange habits Dad picks up when not under Mom's supervision.) He has always had a very biased opinion of Marmite and all its kin since then. ;D

Remember at the start of the theme tune to Skippy, Sonny would do that whistle with the gum leaf?
Does anyone know the name of a bird that makes that same sound. I heard it out on the golf course today, so of course I had the tune in my head all day.
It sounds like a whip crack.
I'm serious! I know I've had a few this weekend, but I'm certain I heard it.

The weather for the Gran Prix today was rubbish. Hour delay, safety car and then if things seemingly could not get any worse Webber spins off. :( If the others don't pull up their socks in the next two races Alonso is going to get the championship. So Webber move it mate or else.

I knew I wasn't that hung over and I was hearing it right.
Thanks Lin. 8)

That was bad luck for Mark Webber. I haven't seen the crash, but I heard him say on the radio it was his own fault, so in a way I'm glad he didn't get taken out by someone competing for the Championship with him.

Now I can play that sound and 'go home' if I shut my eyes. It is very much a sound I heard in the Blue Mountains. It is amazing how smells and sounds can transport you to another time and place.

Yes that is true SK. It was certainly his own fault when we saw the replays. It is such a shame though. Here's hoping he can pick up some more points in the next two races. Fingers crossed.

It was a shame to see Mark throw this away, it was very frustrating to watch. Sadly It's looking more and more like Alonso will win the Championship! >:(

She was one hot chick wasn't she?

Her voice stole my heart.

Which got me thinking, who's the hottest Aussie woman out there?
Jennifer Hawkins? Elle MacPherson? Lara Bingle? Kylie Minogue? Anyone else?
I'll go with Jen.

Does anyone know how the Sydney suburb of Kurnell got it's name? :D
(http://mt0.google.com/vt/data=LtgX-e3f8ctI3U5dJtbt7EJ1ZfRneYme,txdQV1zURFvt_Hw3FNn_d_713ZJkr15BpCuWx2GV5GZHQX-_F6G4pOVYcYfbg70qrtvn2xLXTCG0Ag)
-
From Wiki,
There are two theories for the origin of the name Kurnell. It is either a deviation of an Aboriginal word "collonel" or a deviation of the name of an early settler, John Connell.
-
The story I've heard is so much better than that.
I'll see if anyone else knows and will post my version tomorrow. :)
-

You should do one like that poster with Bogart and James Dean and all the big names playing pool or whatever they were doing. They'd be me, SC (we're the cool ones) Lin, 2M, KC, Aline, E77, RE, Doug, all the CEWF regulars.
That would be something. :)
-
The great thing about this thread is that it is a different version of the endless pointless thread.
Hmmm arhh aussies are pointless. Scratch that. ???
-
So SC, you get Tuesday off since it's Melbourne Cup day.
WHY? The race is on after 3pm, it only lasts about three minutes. Why does the whole state or just the city need the whole day to prepare for 24 horses running around a track and if one poor unfortunate soul should fall and break something, they get a bullet for their effort.
Yes, I'm only asking because I'm jealous as hell. If we had the day off, I'd be having a long long weekend!!
-
I really can not answer that question. One: I'm not into horse racing, and two yes it's all about time off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohhh did I............answer........that...
-
Kurnell. The version I know goes. "Kurnell what a great spot." ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D As in the restaurant in Katoomba. " The Fork and View" which got it's name from look at the 'fork n view.' ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I guess this is when I get banned for rude words :o

I will just make a poster of all the regular pals from movie night, I hope this will be ok?
I could always draw Lin with her mouth taped up! I can't believe she used rude words on the board. ;) ;D ;D
-
:o :o
Lin, Is this how a typical Australian girl talks?
Well not really, but I was given the explanation of Kurnell by a guy, in fact a comedian said it in a joke. The Fork n' View restaurant exists see link http://solitary.com.au/history_fork.asp and it was spoken by a girl. ;D ;D
http://www.startlocal.com.au/recreation/restaurant/nsw_bluemountains/Fork-N-View_Restaurant_1785742.html This link is so SK can go for a visit if he hasn't already been there and SC could always visit too when he gets on the right side of the tracks. ;D ;D
-
;D ;D
-
Yeah Lin had the right idea.
The story I heard was that when Captain Cook sailed into Botany Bay for the first time, they came around that corner and looking to the left, one of the crew members screamed out, "Blimey, look over there on the shore. Giant rats that bounce around!" to which another crew member replied, "f@#k Kur nell!". :D
-
Well it's 2am, it's time for bed I suppose. Maybe time for a night cap.
What the hell is a night cap anyway? I thought it was those hats they wore to bed years ago. Groucho Marx wore one in Duck Soup. You can't drink out of one of those. Oh, I can't think about that now, it hurts my head.

Sorry but that's just the lazy side of me whe I post someone's name. I like to cut them down so I don't have to type so much.
Let's see, who else is there:
SC, KC are good since there just initials so I don't have to edit them, Lin, Aline & Doug has less than 5 letters so I'm OK with that.
Then there's 2M, RE, E77, AB's and a few others I'm sure I've forgotten in the haze of this morning.
I do have to find a Christopher a nickname. I know there's Chris, but I've always called him Christoher and it sounds so formal sometimes.
-
You could always be polite and call him Mr. C. ;D

I have to say Aussies do shorten names or anything else they can. Saves talking and gives more time for drinking. ;)

Nah, that's even more formal than Christopher.

And those damn lick a prize. I could never get enough sticks to match the picture to win the prize. >:(
-
I should of taken a photo of the shop two doors up. It has a lot of old files, filing cabinets, desks, cabinets shelving units and other stuff. It's like a small office from the seventies. No company name out front and I've never seen anyone in there. Never. In over 10 years.
Spooky!!!
Yet every couple of months stuff gets shifted around and the furniture get rearranged.

going back a few posts.........
I remember there was a milk bar at Circular Quay just before you got on the Mosman ferry and they sold the BEST ever milk shakes. Used to buy one everytime I was there. I lived in Raglan Street, Mosman for a while in a flat with brilliant views. Must find the pictures and see if I can work out how to use this new printer/scanner I have. It is supposed to do everything even make the tea so I guess I had better get the instructions out, even though that is against my better judgement.
-
That reminds me of those pics I took of Sydney a few years ago. I'm sure I posted them on the board somewhere.
Time for a late night search!

That was the quickiest search I've ever done here on the board. Straight to the photo thread and on the very first page, the pics I was looking for.
Here are the best two photo's I've ever taken.These were taken in 1987.A friend of mine had access to a roof on top of a building (no his name isn't Scorpio) near Circular Quay here in Sydney and I took some photo's.

Well it looks like it's survival of the fittest.
Myself and SC have been on the board for a lot of today. Trivia and this thread along with a few others have kept us occupied. Who will outlast the other?
I don't know what time it was when I first got on the board this morning and I've had a few breaks through the day, but I'm starting to fade fast.
Yesterday when I came up with a nickname for Christopher, I started to think about others here on the board and today recipient of a new nickname is Aline.
Her knowledge of Quotes from Eastwood films baffles me. She's too good.
So I've given her the nickname of "Quotes". :D
Hope you don't mind Aline. It's only a bit of fun and others will be branded (so to speak) in the coming days too.

Christopher is STATS, Aline is Quotes. I can't wait to see what my nickname will be! :D

I have had a few very slow times on here this last hour. Spell Checker kept timing out and posts took an age to go.
SC must be near he's been busy in the "Hang 'Em High" thread but his winning streak seems to have gone. Better not have a flutter on the Cup. ;D ;D >:D

This one was taken at a Beltane camp around the camp fire. Gary is first on the right in a silly jester hat. Friend Liz and two other didge players. Gary is playing his favourite didge that was made in Australia. It has a fantastic sound.
Lin, Thanks for the Pictures of Gary playing his didgeridoo. :)
Can Gary play Tie me kangaroo down, sport?
Let's have a good old Aussie sing song. :D

Just what I needed this morning a good old sing song. ;D ;D Thank you I enjoyed that.
Well yes he can play Tie me kangaroo down, sport on the didge but he plays Waltzing Matilda better. You really can't recognise it unless you knew what he was playing. Most of the stuff you play on a didge is rhythms rather than tunes.

Probably because of widescreen TV's and home surround sound technology, bringing that theatre experience more into your home.

I don't think I've watched my Star Wars DVD's on my widescreen tv since I've had it. It's only a 92cm tv but it's still bigger than the 68cm ton of bricks I had before.
Mmm, I feel a Star Wars weekend is in order. 8)

I've only got a 80cm but the way my lounge room is shaped, I'm only 3 meters from the TV. Biggest I could possibly go would be 102cm, but that's later down the track.

I've just done a quick run through of the 19 pages here to see who's eligible for an Aussie Thread nickname. The only rule being you need a least one post in this thread to qualify.
So far we have Stats (Christopher), Quotes (Aline), Cookie (Lin) and Toons (TwoMules).
Stay tuned in the coming days for nicknames for SC, KC and Elizabeth77. Not necessarily in that order.

In less than one fortnight, we will finally know the winner of the 2010 F1 championship.

Yes folks, the moment you've all been waiting for. The announcement of KC's Aussie thread nickname.
I had a lot of ideas come and go through my head this week, first there was "Apples" since KC lives in The Big Apple and Toons's pics.
Then there was "Sneakers" due to KC's love of running. Or "Beep Beep" from The Road Runner.
Then it was "Manhattan Miss", but that was a bit too long and it sounded to me like a racehorse.
I almost went with "Dame Yankees", but again it was a little too long.
So finally it was what I should of thought of straight away.

Practice 1: Vettel leads Red Bull 1-2
Sebastian Vettel outpaced Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber by almost half a second as he topped the times in first practice at Interlagos.
McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button were third and fourth quickest, while championship leader Fernando Alonso pulled to a halt on the circuit at the very end of the session, apparently fearing an engine failure.
Practice 2: Vettel maintains Brazil edge
Sebastian Vettel showed he has no intention of giving up on his title ambitions without a fight as he again set the pace in second practice in Brazil as Red Bull completed its domination of the opening day.
Mark Webber had been the RBR driver at the head of the timesheet for most of the afternoon's running but Vettel marginally proved the faster of the two on the super-soft tyres late in the session.

Thanks to Cookie, Toons and Shirts for your wonderful suggestions for SK's new nickname. :)
And the winner is Shirts. O0
The Schofield Kid has a new nickname.
Tees
Thanks, SC. :)
I see Tees even managed to figure out why (with a little help). ;D ;D
-
Let's hope it inspires me in the morning.
Stormy, can you do something and get this wet weather to clear. I HATE playing golf in the rain!!
Tees, it's done. No rain tomorrow.
A new nickname has worked wonders. Best score of the year and the weather was perfect. No rain, not too hot, partly cloudy. Perfect golfing weather.
You're a weather legend Stormy. 8)
And thanks Shirts. O0

It's LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/) (one word) ... it's sort of a Facebook for
grownups professionals. ;)
I'm actually a member ... I registered years ago when I was trying to find contact information for the authors of some of the interviews we were considering for inclusion in a book (not the Eastwood book). But I never posted a full profile and haven't updated my information since. I suppose I should, one of these days.
-
I'm not on facebook and don't know what the whoo ha is all about it?
People at work say they spoke to so and so last night and I think why not pick up the phone or wait until you get to work the next day?
I must be getting to old or something. :-[
-

I'm not a fan of facebook. Why bother. This is the place to be and like you said SK, just pick up the phone or text friends and work mates.
-
I can understand if you have relo's overseas or something like that, but I remember hearing something on the radio last week about young people don't go out and meet friends much anymore, instead they sit on their behinds and chat on facebook.
-
I guess violence around night clubs and pubs might have an influence but in saying that, surely going out with a group of friends would be a safe option. It's just the way it is these days. ???
-
Yeah, you only have to make eye contact with someone these days and you could finish in hospital or even worse.

-
Gee SK I could go a bag full of those little beauties.
Going back to earlier comments. I registered on facebook so I could keep in contact with a group I was in as I missed a few camps because I did know about them. I stuck it for 1 month and never again. What a load of cr"*p people post on there. Only trouble is I keep getting messages that "friends" want to contact me. I just delete the emails. To get 'OFF' facebook I need to log on and somewhere there are instructions for leaving, however I can't remember the password I used and I really don't want to go there. Philo a longtime member of this board is a facebook member but I only learn what he is up to through a friend of mine who uses facebook all the time. She met Philo when she and I went to London.
Like SC and SK phone calls, emails and letters are fine when you are far away from people. Meeting up when you are nearby. That is the only way to keep in touch. Oh! and on here of course. :)
-

I am not on facebook but most of my family and friends are on it!
I find it very amusing and sad that people who live on the same street talk to each other through facebook!
People should get out more and enjoy each others company for real, it's the best way to keep in touch.
-

You're so right, Lin. I'm not good at phone calls, emails or letters either, but they have substance and are personal. My happiest times have been a result of being with family or friends. Being a wanderer and globetrotter, it usually falls on me to contact my widely scattered friends when I'm going to be anywhere near them.
Oh! and on here of course. :)
Normally I wouldn't have bothered to join something like this (could just read your posts), but you all are such a fun and diverse group of people. :)

I've been on facebook for over five years now! :D I joined back when it was still just for college students.
I completely agree that it's best to try to get together with people, but I've gotten to know some great people through some of these sites, and if they've lived close by I've eventually been able to meet up with them in person. But of course communication is always complex, and can seem even more so when the main communication is in writing--there seems to be so much room for misunderstanding (as there is in person too).
-
But of course communication is always complex, and can seem even more so when the main communication is in writing--there seems to be so much room for misunderstanding (as there is in person too).
If the writing is meaningful, it can be a great way to communicate. When (and before) my husband was courting me, he only lived a mile away. I used to email David every night and receive his answer when I got up to go to work. We carried on long discussions that wouldn't have happened otherwise, and I got to know what kind of man David is. (Of course, we spent a lot of time together, too, but this was my chance to get to understand how he thinks.)
Many of my friends are on facebook, but I'm not. I'm sure I'd know more of what is going on in their lives, but I don't really need to know. I send out an annual Christmas letter and that is about the end of my communications.

I'm glad I'm living in a technological era. Internet is a paradise to people that have difficulties in relationships.

Toyota Corolla. I used to be shocking at keeping it clean. Hardly ever did it. Now in the past few months, I've tried to do it, either Saturday afternoon if I'm playing golf Sunday or Sunday morning.
I think I'm paying the penalty for not looking after it sooner as the paint work is peeling in patches. The bonnet is the worse. It's like when you get sunburnt and your skin peels off in patches after a few days. That's what it looks like. :(

Downbeat Mark Webber promised to fight until the flag after qualifying fifth for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver, who goes into the race second in the championship, must finish ahead of leader Fernando Alonso to have a chance of winning the title.
But with Alonso qualifying third behind Webber's team-mate Sebastian Vettel and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton, the Australian has it all to do.
"It is disappointing but there is still a long way to go," said Webber.
"I need to finish ahead of Alonso but if I don't finish I don't win the championship either.
This should be a superb race tomorrow. I just hope Mark can get in front of Alonso!

Mark didn't make it :'( However on the brighter side neither did Alonso. Vettel drove a good race and even if Toons would have rather not seen him on the podium, it kept Alonso off it. Next year Mark could do it. After the experiences of this year he has just about covered most of the problems he could encounter. Perhaps if the safety car had not been needed the result could have been different.

Talking about kangaroos in the DVD thread with Toons made me remember that episode of Seinfeld when that old guy was talking to Elaine and was saying do male kangaroos get "Pouch Envy" since only the female kangaroos have pouches. I mean doesn't the male have things he wants to carry around too.
Man, just thinking about that cracks me up. ;D
And of course Elaine's Aussie accent when she said in another episode, "Maybe a dingo ate your babeeee." :D

I haven't seen that episode, but I'm betting Elaine was doing a Meryl Streep accent, not an Aussie accent. ;)

Please don't post tomorrow saying it looks like a Monkey! :D
This one really looks like it. :)

Will you never forgive me for that so in target comment, will you, Toons?
I thought about report you for drawing me with those arms but the necklace and shirt look fine. ;D
You are funny, 2M! :D
-
Will you never forgive me for that so in target comment, will you, Toons?
NO! Aline, it's too funny to forgive you and I always thought you were quite intelligent! ;)
Now I know why people say,"new animals are discovered each day in the amazon" :D
I thought about report you for drawing me with those arms but the necklace and shirt look fine. ;D
That shirt was quite cheap, It was only $1.99 from ebay. ;)
You are funny, 2M! :D
Aline, Thank you. :) Don't forget to buy some bananas to feed your dog. ;D ;D

Thank you, 2m ^-^

Now I know why people say,"new animals are discovered each day in the amazon" :D
I have to agree about that. Do you know the uacari-vermelho?
The uacari-vermelho (Cacajo calvus) lives among the trees of Amazon basin and moves jumping from branch to branch thru the top of the trees. His face is red because of the big quantity of blood vases he has on this region which makes a big contrast with his hair that variates from pale yellow, grey or white.
I didn't want to post the picture directly on the board because honestly I find the monkey a little creepy. If some of you want to see him, click on the link. I was looking a magazine about decoration of rooms the other day, suddenly turned a leaf and saw that picture in a full page about a nature alert campaign.The uacari-vermelho is an animal threatened with extinction. :(
I love animals but this monkey isn't good looking :o

On further examination, I'm afraid there is no hope for anyone. The compulsion is a disease for which there is no known cure. We are all infected with the fever. It's an epidemic.
But that doesn't matter because as Hud once said, "The Whole country's run on epidemics".
We keep the thread alive and we help the country.
But more importantly, we help ourselves.

In the show wasn't he. He had the slouch hat, so I always assumed.
I know in a later episode he turned up as Muldoon, who always asked for a coffee in a mug at Rosey's but got scotch in it instead. When Rosey was off crook, Charles was tending bar but didn't know, so when Muldoon asked for a coffee, that's exactly what Charles gave him. A brew ha ha erupted and Charles yelled out, "The aborigines are the civilised ones!"

Talking of Angry sheep. When I was about 3 years old, I got sat on my pants when a sheep rammed me in the stomach at Nowra's Animal Park. There I was just minding my own business, then bam. I'm sitting in the dirt bawling my eyes out. It's always a talking point and quite amusing to everyone else when the family reminisce. >:(

Now it's funny you should mention goats. About 5 years ago I went back to that very same Animal Park after all these years and while I didn't see that sheep, a goat stole a bag of feed right outta my hand as I had my head turned for half a second. I was feeding some other animals and the next thing this goat wanders over and snatches it all outta my hand.
It's quite lucky it didn't take some fingers with it too! :o

AS THE leaders of the world's 20 foremost developing and developed nations began arriving in Seoul last night for the Group of 20 summit, the South Korean capital was at its welcoming best - if not a little confused.
In central Seoul, a display of statuettes portrayed each of the visiting VIPs in their national dress.
All except for Julia Gillard, who was dressed like a character from The Sound of Music.
Yep, she was dressed as an Austrian.
Austria is not a member of the G20 but neighbouring Germany is and the Gillard statuette was dressed very similarly to that of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. Ms Gillard was, at least, holding the right flag.
The display was situated at the end of a street renamed Global Street. Cement bollards on the footpath featured different nations and which of their major cities was a sister city to Seoul. For example, Paris.
Again, confusion reigned regarding Australia. Seoul's sister city was listed as ''New South Wales'' rather than the more accurate Sydney.

Higgy, it did have to do with Australia, so I don't think it was a mistake to post it here. And it's not really "politics," which we don't want to post about anywhere on this site.
But I'll leave it up to the Australians to decide.

One of Melbourne's most loved and adored publican has died aged 92.
She owned my local pub and will be sorely missed. :'(
The pub is never open on a Sunday due to her love of the church. Every other day you would see her around the pub picking up glasses and chating with people. She was a wonderful lady.

What a great Aussie. I'll certainly have a drink in her honour tonight. Thanks for posting the links Stormy. I had a chuckle reading the second one.
“I remember one time sitting in the beer garden talking about her life as a publican and she was telling us of how when they came to put pokies in the pub she pulled out a baseball bat and chased them down the street.’’
;D

What an amazing lady SC. I can understand why she will be missed.

It would have fitted in well with all the other posts here anyway. :D
I guess you have a point there SK. :D

Thanks for your kind word guys. :)
Love these couple of quotes.
“I’ve seen over the years when fights have started — and she’s a tiny lady — but she’d walk right into the middle of it and break it up.
“When Kath put her finger up, you’d $#!t yourself.”
So true.
She didn't demand respect, she had it.
I find it hard to tell every one how beautifully she graced her establishment as the most respected person I've ever met.
She was/is definitely one in a million.

Yeah, I just wish I got this motivated to keep it clean years ago and the paint work wouldn't have these ugly patches on it now. The Armor All spray that I use on the dashboard and Door trims is the best thing I bought too. I hadn't done that in years and it looks brand new now. :)

Speaking of cars, I can just hear the roar of the V8 Supercars at Sandown from my backyard.
-
That's like here, when they have the speedway on Saturday nights. It sounds like a swarm of bees are surrounding the house. :D

What sort of speedway is it? Sprint cars?
-
I'm no rev head remember so I don't know what a sprint car is. ???
Here's a link to their website. Apparently tonight it's the NSW Super Sedan Championship so the bees will be buzzing around 8pm. :D

They do have sprint cars there. Only been to one sprint car event when I was a kid. I'm not a rev head either but I do like the V8's. I fixed my own cars when I was younger but not now. Too complicated. :D

I remember being at Lidcombe oval for a Rugby League game probably around the mid 80's and at half time of the game they had a dragster go around the cycle track they had around the outside of the field. It would rev it's engines and take off for about 30 yards. It did this a few times. Unfortunately I had to be standing near where it stopped then revved it's engines and I swear I couldn't hear a thing for minutes. Boy, that was loud.

I'm not trying to influence the artist, but I can just see it now.
Stormy and Cookie with their heads under the bonnet, covered in grease and oil. Too many parts laying on the ground and you can't figure out where they go.
Shirts and Babs looking at the car manual trying to help.
I'm sitting back having an ale with a bemused look on my face with one hand in my pocket. Books is reading the latest Bio on Beethoven oblivious to it all.
Stats sitting in the drivers seat turning the ignition every now again without success.
Quotes and Bags looking on upset that with no car they're not going to get to the shops as they open for the big weekly sale.
:D :D :D

Boy, that was loud.
Try going to an F1 race, it's so loud it becomes annoying. I'd prefer the dragsters.

I've just spen the last 2 hours trying to figure out who the hell Kyle was!
Lin, your missing an "I".
Not an eye but an I. :D
Like I said earlier I am just a dumb Aussie from the bush. Of course I was thinking about Kyle but watching Kylie.
Apart from that the Children in Need telethon is a l o n g show. Actually it was very good apart from a couple of singers who left me totally confused. I couldn't understand a word they were singing. Old age for me too.

Ever since Toons has been drawing Shirts as a shirt with a face on it, it has looked so similar to something I've seen in the past but I just couldn't remember where. It finally dawned on me just now.
Shirts must be related to The Tuckerbag! :D

I don't know what you've done to Lin. Whether you've been waving a watch in front of her eyes or what but she is under some terrible southern spell. Lin seems to be siding with you a lot lately. It is becoming quite disturbing. I think a few phone calls to Hazlebrook may be in order.
We may have to have an intervention! :)

Hazelbrook is the village I lived in, close to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. So I suppose it is a Sydney, or more likely a NSW thing.

Just come back from Kath Byer's funeral. Gees there were a lot of people, even bumped into a few old mates of mine. Blimey, full police escort, lanes blocked off. It was massive.
She touched a lot of hearts. More men were sheding tears than the ladies including me.
Farewell Kath. :'(

The daughter has taken over(thank God). So that means the NO POKIES policy will stay (Yahoo). So the chooks and other birds will get fed and occasionally get let out to wander around the beer garden. You'll still get the best chicken parma in town.
Nothing will change except we'll have to look up to see that Kath is looking down at us.

That is good hear SC. Especially the No POKIES. I used to hate going to my local for a quiet drink and all you could hear was that awful metallic sound of poker machines and a few dollars falling into the tray every now and again. They are OK in places like the Panther's complex when you can get away from them.

This was the first house I bought on my own. It is in Leura. From the look of it they have divided the block in two and built a house at the opposite end of the really long garden. It used to go from Eastview to Kings Road.
Shouldn't have done all this. Sooooooooooo homesick now :'( :'( :'( :'(
If it wasn't 5.50 am I think I would be having a stiff drink now to combat the feeling of loss. Gee if I won the lottery I would be on the first plane home and wouldn't even stop to pack.

Yours looks pretty good too. It is a shame your house isn't there any more SC.

Yes that is always a thought. Big Brother is watching you all the time. I wonder how much bother these shots have caused in relationships. :o
I see the cottage in Leura still has the tin roof. Gee that was some noise when it rained. If I can work out how to use my new printer with built in scanner I will try to post a picture of Eastveiw Ave when I owned it. I remember I paid $18,750 for it with loads of land. I bought it in 1978. I really loved it. It was a little farm once and where the new buildings are at the bottom of the garden I had cowsheds. There's another toon idea for Toons. ;)
-
$ 18,750 :o How times have changed.
Mum sold our house in Glen Iris for $240,000 back in 1995. That house you see now on Google Earth is worth $1,200,000. :o
If only we had the benefit of hindsight.

If only we had the benefit of hindsight.
Too right! I would have sold off half the block and I could have lived there longer. I had to sell the place because the cost of keeping it in good nick was killing me. There was always something going wrong. The worst was when we had a storm that lasted most of the night. I got out of bed in the morning and was up to my ankles in water. The roof had lifted on one side and I had a waterfall down the bedroom wall. The water got into the electrics and I was without power for 4 days. Had to stay with a friend until the 'leccy said it was safe! I seem to remember it cost more than a months mortgage even with the insurance. They paid for the water damage to the bedroom and the furniture and part of the wiring but they wouldn't pay for a whole rewire that I needed.

I am here but only for a few moments. Just got home from walking Meg and now have to get ready to go to work. Yesterday PM I couldn't open CEWB. No matter what I did. I was getting a message saying Try again. you get a bit sick of seeing that.
Have thought about your kitchen Stormy and I like the idea of off white cupboards but I am not too sure about the black bench top. you would need light walls to offset it. Think I would go for a high gloss finish in a rich hermitage red or even a forrest green.
See you later.

BTW I love M.A.S.H and Seinfeld but I don't have any DVDs of either. I could rent them if I know which ones you are thinking of looking at on a 'movie night'.

And RE makes his long awaited appearance in the Aussie thread. 8)
RE's nickname for the Aussie Thread is Tex.
No explanation is neccessary is it?
And a big congratulations again to Tex and the missus on the baby news.
Oooh how spooky that Stormy and I were quoting Seinfeld last night with, "You gotta see the babeeeee." :D
I do hope you've read all 40 pages of this thread Tex? ;)

I was going to have a couple of beers this arvo after a crappy day at work but the first drink is to Tex's news.
Cheers everyone. 8)

I'm implementing a new feature to the Aussie Thread from today.
It's Aussie Of The Day!
Whenever an Australian does something extraordinary they will be recognised here in the Aussie Thread as Aussie Of The Day.
Today's inaugural winner is Australian Cricketer, Peter Siddle. On his 26th birthday he has destroyed the Pommies on the first day of the Ashes series taking six wickets for the innings which included a hat trick.
Well done Pete.
AUSSIE OF THE DAY!!!!!!
-
I missed the hat trick, was it good or is that stupid question. Hang on, I think I've dug a hole here. :D

The first ball was an edge to first slip. Watson didn't catch it cleanly but it stuck. The second ball was a beauty, beat the batsmen all end up to rattle the timber and the third ball was just as good. Perfect yorker, cracked him on the foot on the full.
The Pom's actually challenged that and the video ref took about 1.2 seconds to make a decision. :D

No post in the Aussie thread for over 14 hours!!
The shame of it all.
Time to make up for it. It's after 5pm on a friday. IT'S THE WEEKEND!!! Whoo hoo. Time to relax, not a care in the world.
Cheers Aussie thread viewers. I don't think beer has been mentioned on this page yet. Anyway, when you mention the weekend, beer isn't too far behind. 8)

I was so busy the last couple of days I just found time to vote in the Music thread and then read this one. The snow is awful and today it is so cold I am defrosting the car and rugging up then setting off to the supermarket. Would rather be doing anything else. I could leave everything and nip over to Stirmy's place to help with the kitchen but there's a dog to walk. Always as excuse. ;D
This thread is going so well. I had a feeling we Aussies would succeed. ;)
-
I'll tell you this Lin. I would gladly trade places with you. To see snow falling outside my window would be grand. I'll never have that pleasure as long as I live at my place. Arhh life!!! It's a funny ole game.

You could always go to Charlotte's Pass or Perisher Valley and watch it there. ;D You have amazing storms that we don't get here. We are never satisfied are we? I miss the area I lived in and the people but not really the hot weather. It is getting hotter in the Blue Mountains and I believe there was no snow last year. In the past I was snowed in a few times. We used to have "Christmas in July"z in the Carrington Hotel in Katoomba with a Santa and Christmas food. It was fun :D

The Claxton Shield used to be the big Baseball comp down here but that folded about 20 years ago.
Dave Neillson (sp) got involved with starting up a comp a few years ago but that didn't last long and now we've got this current league. I only heard about it on the radio by someone involved with it talking about it starting up a few weeks ago, but you never read anything about the games in the paper or see any of it on the tv.

Frank Fenner Dies at 95; Tracked End of Smallpox
By WILLIAM GRIMES
Frank Fenner, an Australian scientist who played an important role in the World Health Organization’s decade-long campaign to eradicate smallpox and who made the official announcement, in 1980, that the disease had been conquered once and for all, died Monday in Canberra. He was 95.
-
He does deserve Aussie of the Day. I heard the news on a radio 4 program.
May he Rest in Peace after all the lives he helped to save.
-
Agreed Frank Fenner is Aussie of the day. :) RIP mate.
-
How was the golf weekend Tees?
-
A Truely GREAT Australian. 8)
RIP Frank.

How was the golf weekend Tees?
Fantastic as usual. 8)
Weather was better than expected. No rain at all. Although the wind on Saturday along the coast was enough to blow a dog off a chain. More like gale force. The final hole a par 5, played like a par 8 into the teeth of that gale.
It was just great to get away from all the BS, even if it was for only one night.
Golf wasn't the most important thing on the weekend but I got a lot of time to try things out on the course and my chipping around the green is slowly getting back to where it was a few years ago before I got the yips.
I had intended to get wasted over the weekend but I took it easy and that's what I'll be doing from now on. :)
-
That's great to hear Tees.
Chipping is my worst enemy. When I practice it, I'm great but as soon as I hit the course...whammo it's out the window.
Now you have me really hanging out for the Xmas break. Getting the kitchen and laundry done, then starting a fresh new time for me.
-
I just want these next two Sundays to pass, so golf is over for the year. Then I want to take the whole 7 weeks off from playing at all until the 2011 season starts on the last Sunday in January.
-
Golf is purely a mental game isn't it. I remember once I was playing with a mate and I totally stuffed up a chip onto the green. Then I dropped another ball on the ground and said to him "Watch this, I bet you I can chip this onto the green close to the hole while looking at you and not the ball"
So that's what I did and that's what happened. We both laughed but inside me I said why can't I do that while I'm playing the game for real. >:(
-
Yeah, I remember reading somewhere golf is 90% mental, 10% Physical.
It's so true. That's why the game is so damn frustrating. :D
-
Sitting in the club last night we could see on one of the big screen tv's had a show on about Channel 9 and some of the old shows and stars. They were showing clips from Graeme Kennedy and Paul Hogan and a few others.
We couldn't hear the sound with the live band playing but we were still cracking up at these skits after so many years. Paul Hogan as Leo Wanker was a riot. :D

Glad you had a good time away and I am so pleased you didn't get wasted. O0 It must have been daunting to play into that wind, still it would be a problem for everyone wouldn't it. Where were you playing?
Welcome back. We had a good movie night even with a low turn out it was well worth it. :)

Hey guys what about the Rugby Union Australia V France yesterday? France 16 Australia 59 and most of that total was scored in the last 30 minutes. Great match for Australia.

Thanks, it's great to be back. Yeah everyone struggled in the wind. All four in the group I was playing with cracked a ton.
Saturday in that wind we played at Port Kembla and Sunday was at Kembla Grange, next door to the GG's.

In the Saturday morning, I took the early train to Paris : a lot of French male supporters shouting "We are the Champions" all the way to the Capital !!! Lol !
The match was not ended when I came back late at night, so I only saw the results this morning ... I'm sure the return on Earth was much more quiet ... and the singers surely really mute ... LOL !

Hey Sylvie.
Welcome to the Aussie thread. 8)
As is customary, as soon as someone makes their first post in this thread, I bestowe a nickname on them. It's all in good fun and no offense is intended.
Sylvie's Aussie Thread nickname is: Gigi. :)
When Sylvie first started posting on the board, well actually I do this with everyone, I get a mental picture of what they look like. To me, Sylvie is Leslie Caron from the 1958 film, Gigi.

I'd almost hate to ask what I look like in your head! :D

From the earliest days of me being here on the board, whenever I saw your name as "Christopher", not just Chris I always had this image of Christopher Knight. You know, Peter Brady from The Brady Bunch but not how he looked then but older after the show had finished.
I told you it was bizarre! :D

Talking of having 'grey moments' what about me yesterday. I got home to find they'd been a blackout sometime on Saturday so I had to reset my bedside clock. I reset it around 3pm but somehow set it for 3am. And when I set the alarm for this morning I set it at 7pm not am. So in the end everything worked out and the radio came on at 7am, it's just the clock thought it was 7pm.
41 and going downhill fast. :D
-
41 and going downhill fast. :D
Don't worry too much SK it gets worse. ;D ;D ;D ;D
This morning I have done and said so many stupid things both on here and in the house. Berated Gary for not making me a cuppa when he made his and I was playing 15 Questions. Looked at the desk beside me and there as a cuppa. He just laughed at me. :-[
-

There really isn't any hope for us is there? I may have to swap my car for a bike once 30th December is over. Will I be able to afford to run a car????
There will be more senior moments from me. Not being at work, spending the day with a dog and no one else around until the weekends I may just go right off my trolley. :o

And last night I went to get a glass of water and instead of getting it from the tap in the kitchen sink, I thought I'd take it from a little plastic jug I have next to the kettle for filling that up from time to time. So what do I do? I pick up the kettle and only realise what the hell I'm doing just before I start pouring it into the glass. :o

Put the kettle on make your cuppa then once you've finished go to put the kettle back in the fridge instead of the milk!!!

No, but I tried to put a loaf of bread in the fridge after getting a couple of slices for lunch one day.

I just threw my cup of coffee on the fire instead of a log. :o Exit one cup. Will have to let the fire die down to pick out the bits. I can use the heat proof gloves you get to use when opening the door.
Just as well Gary is out. If anyone tells him I will put a Hex on you. (http://www.themagicwandshop.co.uk/images/witch7_1.gif)

Reading this thread, I've been wondering what excuse I can give for my mix-up today. I'm not old enough to have a "senior moment" so I'll have to think of something else.
I packed a lunch (supper) to take to market with me today. The standard fare is sandwiches of some kind or other. When I finally got around to making the sandwiches for my kids, I discovered that I'd left the one sandwich filling at home in the toaster oven. I had remembered the cheese, but had no slicer, so that didn't work too well either. The kids made do with the other things I'd brought and didn't complain, but I felt rather bad about the whole thing.

These women are incredible to say the least. To take the challenge of deciding to enter a purely male dominated trade(well all trades are male dominated) is in itself courageous. They perform beyond expectations and with their presence, we tend to pull our heads in so to speak which is refreshing. I hate loud mouth tradesmen.
Young Amanda sits next to the biggest and toughest looking guys on site or maybe I should say they sit next to her. He's a big softy at heart. It's so refreshing to this trend change.

In just under 12 hours the hosts of the Football World Cup in 2022 will be announced. Australia are in the running and according to the experts one of the favorites along with the USA and Qatar.
I cringe when I hear how much money is being spent just to win the rights, then to actually playing host when the are so many services here struggling for funds. But that's another discussion for another forum. If we win, I suppose it will be good for the country seeing it's the biggest sporting event in the world. If we don't win, I won't be losing any sleep. :)
-
Fantastic stuff Toons.
Day off today, Tees?

Day off today, Tees?
How good was this?
Two hours into the day, a massive blackout in the area brought everything to a standstill. After a couple of hours of sitting in the lunchroom reading the paper having some laughs we were given the option of leaving without pay for the last three hours or stay and get paid. I didn't have to be asked twice. :D
-
One of the guests is printing The Aussie Thread!! 8) O0
-
Nice work Tees or lack of. :D
I dropped off the company bucket'o'crap van at the yard and got home an hour and a half early myself. :)
-
Hope you gave it a good thrashing down the highway one last time and left the petrol tank low. :D
-
I would never do that. ::)
-
Of course!
What was I thinking? ;)
-
I did slow down through 4 fixed speed cameras on the Geelong Road though, other than that there ain't much tread left on the ole tyres.
-
So apart from the kitchen and a few ales, what are you going to do with yourself till the new year and job? Or is the kitchen going to take all of your attention?
-
My last day at work is on Wednesday and Monday is a union picnic day off so after that is the kitchen, laundry renos and gardening. She's a bit of forest in the backyard. Oh and catching up on lost sleep.
-
I know we have a Christmas thread but I just found this pic and just had to post it. I just think it's more appropriate in this thread than the Xmas one. I'm sure you'll agree. ^-^
Sorry Stormy, I didn't notice the tatt before.

If your talk Gary Ablett, I met him at a party in Jan Juc many years ago. My opinion of him went to the toilet.
His nickname of Gary Tablet is very true!

So the saying of never meet your heroes rang true?

He was never my hero to start with.

;D Thank you TWOMULES ! My brothers always laugh at me , saying that Disneyland is "my second house" ! LOL ! I have to admit that I went there several times ... last time it was with Lin, her husband Gary and mine, Cyrille, and of course, we met Mickey and Minnie !!!
And Schofield Kid, I had to search on Google the picture of Gigi, (Leslie Caron), of course, I had already heard about her, but did not know exactly what she looked like : no similarities between us, but that is a compliment to be compared with her ! ;)

;D Thank you TWOMULES !
Vous êtes très bienvenu! :)

Did anyone see the pants John Daly was wearing at the golf yesterday? I went searching for a pic last night but couldn't find one, maybe later I will because they were brilliant.

Fair Dinkum, the lengths some people will go to to get their 15 minutes of fame.
And I thought they were weird south of the border?
Hey Stormy, you've never had thoughts of tying the knot with Sandy have you? :o
-
Arh no!
-
Toons has just rocked up. Here is trouble. :D

He's probably woken up and heard the cricket score so we could be in for a long night? :D

Just mowed the front lawn and snipped the edges. One of my all time fav things to do on a hot summers day. ::)
Which of course means that it is beer o'clock. :)
-
Did someone say beer?
Man I hate to play golf and have to drive home. A couple of ales after the game taste so good, but waiting that extra hour or so until I drive home is torture.
Thanks for the fine weather again Stormy. No rain until we were driving home back down the M4.
You're a Fine Weather God!! 8)

Let's hope I'm right.

As far as Toons and the cricket went we got off rather lightly didn't we? Or have I spoken too soon.
Cutting grass!!! Have not seen ours for well over a week it has all turned white. :D :D

Why do the 4 days at work drag on forever but the 3 days of freedom fly by so fast?

Sorry, just another Sinatra moment. 8)
-
Anyone remember seeing that film about Sinatra's tour of Australia back in '74. The Night We Called it A Day I think it was called. Dennis Hopper played Sinatra and I'm sure Tom Burlinson did the songs.
What was the quote that started the furore down here. Sinatra said something about the press being whores or something. geez, didn't that cause a stink. :o

Last day at work today. Everyone on the job from the company stayed back for beers. They all chipped in and brought me some going away presents which was touching.
I'll miss all of them but will stay in touch. :( :)

I heard the word beers.
Time to celebrate Stormy's freedom!!!!!!

Yay!!! Cheers!

Congrats to Tees for starting this thread.
We don't know how lucky we are to have a person of this calibre to keep us going through the tough times. He himself has let us know we are all human by his actions and humility.
As we constantly celebrate Clint's career through our voice, we should celebrate each other as friends far and wide.
Thanks everyone for putting a smile my face every day. :)
-
Ah Shucks Stormy. I was expecting something explosive for the 1000 reply to this thread and you come out with that little speech that has got me all teary eyed. No, wait there is something in my eye. :D
No seriously folks, yes I'm being serious in the Aussie thread. Relax, I'm not drunk. I just want to thank everyone who has joined in the fun over the last couple of months. As I've said before this really started out as a thread where I could TEES Stormy and he could return serve and I thought occassionally Lin would pop in to see what all the fuss was about and to take my side of the friendly arguments I've have with Stormy but it's grown into this monster.
No not a monster, but just a thread where we can let our hair down and have some laughs and boy we've needed them. Especially after watching the cricket. :-[
So to all who have posted in the thread congrats for getting us to 1000 replies and let the celebrations begin.
Let there be beer, women, beer and more women. :D
-
Spot on Tees.
It's not about the 1000 posts, there is a little Aussie in all of of us.
We talked about starting a thread like this for a while and I never expected it would turn out like this!
OK, back to the real purpose of this thread. Sydney....I'll give you the drum... is not what it is all cracked up to be!!!
Pricey place with :-X

Melbourne!
The :-X end of the country. :D ;)
-
You canna hand a man a better latte than in Melbourne because all the spanners are in......

And where are all the NUTS?
I'd love to go head to head all night, but some of us have to work in the morning. YES, I'll be up at 4am, while Mr. Stormy sleeps and dreams of his av. ^-^
-
Well that's the first thing you've got right all night. I'm kipping while you are working pretty boy. >:D
Bad night! :D

Let there be beer, women, beer and more women. :D
And you were not drunk. Ok. ::)

So, it's really truth SC has quit his job?! :o I wasn't buying it!!!

WITH his eccentric personal life and air of mystery, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seems to be doing his best to impersonate a James Bond villain.

It's time to relax. The Saturday morning shopping, wasing and car washing duties have been completed. 8)

What were you wasing? ???

Whoops, I seemed to have lost an "H". :D
Washing not wasing. :-[

I was only Teesing. ;)

That's funny, TWOMULES! ;D I have been around here for a while. I'm pretty sure I was 19 when I joined the board! :o
By the way, I still have nearly two hours until it's officially my birthday here, but I like the idea of having begun my celebration with Australian time! ;) :D
-
Yeah, I thought Stormy went off early with the celebrations this morning but what the heck, it said it was your birthday in your profile so it must be true. Who cares about a little thing called the international date line.
-
When I see that slice of birthday cake with one candle next to a members age, that's the green light for me. :D
-
Ever notice how in Toon's toons, Stats never has his eyes open?
He's got the Clint squint! :D
-
So is it going to be fine on the course for me tomorrow Stormy?
Weather wise, not playing wise. :D
-
Cloud increasing and a minimal chance of a shower. ;)

If I have a shower tonight instead of the morning will that make it better? :D

Only if you promise to stop smoking the same weed that Toon's smokes. :P

Kevin Pieterson got booked for speeding last week. I would have deported him straight out of the country. :D

I shouldn't be too hard on the old duffer. He came through with brilliant golfing weather again today.

You may now officially relax for 7 weeks until I'll need your weather powers on the last Sunday in January. :D

No probs Tees, hopefully you'll return the favour some day. ^-^
How was golf today, spend much time at the 19th hole? ;)

Can you believe the polls in this country want this guy (almost said the T word) back in the side. Fair dinkum he retired 4 or 5 years ago. It's time to move on and let some young guys have a go. If they pick him for the boxing day or new years test, I'll scream blue murder. >:(

;D I wasn't aware of that meaning for the word dear either.
But I do pay pretty well for nice compliments like that. ;) :D
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm going to go have another piece of ice cream cake! 8) ;D

And another weekend is drawing to a close. Of course everyday is the weekend for Stormy now, for a while at least anyway. Ahh the joy of not having to get up before the rooster crows.
The Rooster Crows At Midnight. Do you remember that one Stormy from MASH? Everbody in camp reading pages of it at a time and the last page went missing. ;D

Abigail Porterfield. She must be 125 years old by now. :D Great episode!!!
-
And they rang her on the telephone and didn't she live in Sydney? 8)
-
Even Australia was mentioned in the episode in regards to the book. Bigelow said something about "and he swam the last 500 miles"

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

Another masterpiece Toons. O0
I hope nobody mentions that Shirts has hers inside out or are looking into a mirror that has her E77 around the wrong way? :D
And Stats is about to set fire to poor Santy's hair with that cigar!

Has the Oprah Winfrey circus made news anywhere else in the world. God, I'll be glad when it's all done. How this is front page news and on the news each night is beyond me. Ohh Oprah climbed the harbour bridge, Ohh Oprah had a cruise on the harbour, Ohh Oprah cuddled a Koala and so on and on each day for the past week. Fair dinkum. I'm Oprah'd out.

Do what I do turn off the news and read on line papers. ;)

We were all in a hurry to have our family portrait took, that's why Shirts is wearing her t-shirt inside out. She was too busy putting her tree up, last night! :D
And Stats is about to set fire to poor Santy's hair with that cigar!
Poor Santa! :( Stats is really too young to start smoking. :D

Great toon, Toons. I think I might just have to print that off and frame it. ;D Not often I get a family portrait with more than two on it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Thanks Toons it really is a masterpiece. O0

Why?
I think it's because I complainted a lot about my first hat being very small compared to Elvis's one, Lin.
But that's just what I think, let's hear what Toons has to say. ???

It's Friday afternoon. Time to relax and forget about work and have a quiet ale in the Aussie thread saloon.
What to do with myself this weekend? It will be the usual Saturday and Die Hard Movie Night on Monday morning but Sunday, no golf, so what shall I do? Take a stroll in the park, a drive in the country perhaps, last minute Xmas shopping, mmmm.
Definetly start with a sleep in for a change. Lawns don't need doing. Car will be washed Saturday. Mmmmm. Decisions, decisions.

So I'm in the supermarket this morning and they've got the Xmas tunes coming through the PA and that song I always hear in December comes on. I don't know who sings it. It sounds a little like that Spanish blind guy who's name I can't think of. I don't know the name of the song but he keeps singing "Felix's Muddy Duck" all the time.
It's a great tune but the most bizarre name for a song. ???

My commonwealth games spelling error, Toon's Pic of a dog, which Quotes said it looked like a monkey. When I gave E77, the nickname of Shirts and I said, "Don't forget to type the 'R'. And of course all of Toon's toons.

Mr. Prez, why is this thread laying dormant again for nearly 24 hours?
There must be something that needs to be said in all that time? :D

All right then, I want you to guess how long it took me to do my Xmas shopping today. From the time I left the driveway and to the time I was back home.

4 hours, 37 minutes and 15 seconds.
What'd I win? :D

Well you might of won something if you chopped 4 hours off.

Only half an hour! :o

There has been a police helicopter flying round in circles near my place for the last half hour. I looked at the online news and there is two armed men on the run. They tried holding up a couple of people in Henderson road which is a little too close to home.

Christmas has come and gone for another year. Today is boxing day when all the kangaroos come out to fight. No, that's not true, I just made that up. :D
Boxing Day, when all the unwanted gifts are placed back in their boxes to be returned to the store for a refund. No, just joking.
Who knows why it's called boxing day but it's another day off and the cricket starts, the festivities continue, we eat more, drink more and by the end of the day we're fast asleep on the lounge. Contented. :D
-
Remember the episode on MASH. 'Twas the Day After Christmas.
-
Yeah the Brits said it was boxing day and Klinger asked, "Who's fighting?". :D
-
The cook to Charles. "If it makes it any easier you can move the stove to the eggs."

What season was that on SC? I might pop the DVD into the computer and watch it now. :)

Season 10 Episode 9. I'm going to watch it tonight.

I can't wait that long!
I'm popping it in the PC now. :D

Can you believe that episode was thirty years old? :o
Once I get through all my DVD's of Monk and Rawhide, I'll have to go back and watch all those MASH DVD's again.
Seeing Potter in Klinger's Toledo Mud Hens Cap and shirt in that episode was a hoot. :D

It is called Boxing Day because the wealthy people used to box up food and gifts and give them to the poor. Mostly stuff the wealthy didn't eat or want but still it went to the needy.

Times up.
The correct answer to the above question was.
What was the question again. Oh right, the three athletes on the Private Salts Album. I mean Sgt. Peppers.
The three are:
Sonny Liston, Johnny Weissmuller and an A Stubbins.
Who the hell is A Stubbins?

The party starts at 6pm on Thursday. Stormy and I can get a full 11 hours or so of celebrating before the clock strikes 6pm in the UK.

Stormy what's happened to summer?
I think today it was 31°C, that's been about the hottest day so far. Is it the same south of the border, down Melbourne way?
What's happened to those 40°C + days of our childhood playing cricket in the street, breaking windows on cars and houses?

What's happened to those 40°C + days of our childhood playing cricket in the street, breaking windows on cars and houses?
It certainly has been a late start to summer here as well. The hot days are on the way just in time for NYE.
La Niña has kicked in with higher than normal rainfalls and lower temps can be attributed to cooler than normal ocean temperatures.
-
The nights have certainly been warm, but it's just those days where it's unbearable that have not appeared. I'm pretty sure this happened a couple of years ago too, it wasn't until I was on holidays in March that we had some scorches.
-
Talking of playing cricket in the street as a kid. Ahh the memories, smacking that tennis ball all around. Scrambling on the asphalt before it disappeared down the drain.
Hearing the jingle of the Mr.Whippy truck in the distance. We'd all run home looking for our pocket money or beg our parents for some cash to get an ice cream. Then sit there on the gutter or on the grass nature strip and lick our hearts away on the ice cream before it melted down your arm. God those things were sticky.
Then it would be on with the game until there was no more light from the sun and the crappy street light wasn't bright enough to cover the pitch so we couldn't play a day nighter.
And then the call of "It's time to come inside now!" would echo through the street coming from each house. And we'll all stroll home unhappy that funtime was over and it was time for a wash.
-
Then sit there on the gutter or on the grass nature strip and lick our hearts away on the ice cream before it melted down your arm. God those things were sticky.
They still are except kids these days are sitting in a/c comfort at home in front of a PC ot TV. :D
-
Playing cricket on a WII or whatever they're called is not the same as being outside in the fresh air, dodging cars and scraping your knees and elbows.
-
I don't think most kids are allowed to play outdoors by themselves these days. Too bad, too. Like SK, I remember playing outside until we had to come in because it was dark. Then, but only then, we might watch TV for a bit before going to bed.
SK, did Mr. Whippy have pistachio? ;)

I have just cracked open a beer and I am all by myself. BTW it is a Wychcraft beer. Brewed by Wychwood.
Love the chair SC and the card SK. Wish I could be right next to the 'roo enjoying a VB instead of this beer. However Wychcraft isn't too bad. ;D

Again I want to thank everyone in the Aussie Thread for cheering me up this year when I wasn't myself.

Happy New Year to all my Aussie family. Can't believe you will be in 2011 in about 5 hours.
Like you, Tees, we will be spending it quietly and as Gary has been away all week and he will be tired we probably wont stay up for midnight. I am partied out after my on-line retirement party yesterday. ;)
Happy New Year to you all.

Happy retirement Lin. My congratulations are a little late because some of us still have to work. :D

Happy New Year to the Aussie Thread gang. You add a lot of fun to life. :)
I'll be spending New Year's with my family, celebrating the life of my uncle who passed away a month ago. We're a Wild Clan so it should be a unique experience.

Congrats Shirts you've just become a Member Extraordinaire. :)
I think Shirts became a Member Extraordinaire long before she had 500 posts.
Congratulation Shirts. Hope you are around here for many more years. :)
Well Done Shirts. O0
Congratulations, Mrs Member Extraordinaire. ;D
Do you already have a T-shirt printed out for this special occasion? :D
Thank you Stormy, Tees, Cookie and Toons. You are all very kind. :)
No, Toons, I don't have a special T-shirt for this occasion. I've been too busy traveling and spending time with my fantastic family.

The only flood SK would get is if he left the water running in his bathtub. :P
Those floods are about 1400 km/ 930 miles north of Tees. ;)

No LCat, like Stormy said it's a long way from me thankfully.
And welcome to the Aussie Thread LCat, a nickname for you will be announced in the coming days. :)

And welcome to the Aussie Thread LCat, a nickname for you will be announced in the coming days. :)
Here I was getting worried thinking what the heck am I going to come up with for a nickname for LCat?
That's why I said it would be a few days but it just came to me and it was so obvious.
LCat's Aussie Thread Nickname will be:
Night Owl. 8)

There is an option. Flush your system with plenty of BEERS!!!

Tried that in the past. It doesn't work. Well it does flush the system, from either ends too but it's too damn extreme to go through a 40th time. :D

"you" :D

I love the name chosen for Lcat. Night Owl perfect and Toons can certainly include an owl in a cartoon.
Keep missing words Tees it makes you normal like the rest of us. ;)
New page so here's BEERS to you and hope your cold is better very soon. We didn't really need the gory details but you just had to tell someone didn't you? ;D ;D

PREZ, I'm begging you. Do something about these Owl jokes. We can only take so much. But this is worse than the old chinese water torture. :D

Out of respect to our latest member, Owl jokes are now banned!
Anyone flaunting the latest rule will have their head ripped off in a gratuitous manner and flushed down the can or for those that have signed the "Donor Program", their noggin will be whisked away to the closest Medical University for dissection.

Today (once again I might add) you sneaky aussies manage to infiltrate the Royal Danish family even further. :D
Mary Donaldson from Tasmania, our future queen and tasty hottie...
(http://images.starlounge.com/2010/12/18/25_DK_Mary_riget.jpg)
...gave birth to twins (a boy and a girl) today.
The boy was born at 10.30 and the girl at 10:56. (local time)
The prince weighs 2674 grams and is 47 cm. long, and the princess veighs 2554 grams and is 47 cm long.
I suppose a "well played" is in order ;)
-
You know, Tasmanians always get accused of being backwards or freaks, but I tell ya, Princess Mary is one stunningly looking woman that that theory just doesn't apply to her.
Congrats to her and the Prince on the birth of twins.
And a big welcome to The Dane With No Name to the Aussie thread. 8)
Your Aussie Thread nickname will be:
Freddy.
In honour of The Crown Prince Of Denmark, Frederik.
-
I heard the Prince announce the birth on the radio this morning ... in English! :o
Can't Freddy get Hot Mary to stop by the Aussie Thread? ;)
Here's an Aussie news story about the blessed event:
http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/people/twin-smiles-prove-marys-crowning-glory-20110108-19jc7.html
-
Welcome Freddy!!!
I've been to Tassie on several occasions and it's a beautiful place, I love it. There is now shortage of talent down there.
-
I heard the Prince announce the birth on the radio this morning ... in English!
Oh. He has really been busy then, holding interviews and calling left and right.
He got a great sense of humour, saying that until such time as the proper names are going to be announced, he'd go with Elvis for the boy, seeing as the twins share another kings birthday ;D
Not that "Elvis" is ever going to be king. Mary and Frederik has been really busy (not that I blame him ;)) and there are already two older kids in line.
-
On the first page of this thread, I've updated the members list with nicknames. With the list growing, it's hard to keep up with who's who? :D
-
Just heard on the radio that "The Thorpedo" is considering a comeback for the 2012 Oylmpics. Man, I'd love to see him up against Michael Phelps in the pool. I don't even know if they compete in the same distances but it would be great. 8)
-
Yeah, I read today he was back in training, but no great surprise because he never did say he was quiting the sport all together.
I hope he does make it back.

It's time for the first beer of 2011!

Welcome to the Aussie Thread Freddy.
Congratulations to the Royal couple. I am sure we will see pictures of the new babies very soon.
I don't agree with the comments about Tassie made by some Aussies. I'm with SC. I really loved the place and the people there are so friendly. I have visited a few times and found some lovely places to stay apart from the main towns.

I can see what Lin is getting at. They have got the same jaw line, chin and cheek structure.

Thanks Stormy I am not going gaga then after all. Actually Crown Princess Mary is not like Kate when you see most pictures of her I just thought this one made them look somewhat alike.

NEWSFLASH
We interrupt this thread to bring you a special report. We go now to the Oblong Office where Vice President Tees, is about to address the nations.
My fellow Aussie Threadians,
Wednesday January 26 is Australia Day. The national day of the greatest country in the world. To celebrate, The Aussie Thread is declaring a 5 day weekend next weekend! 96 hours of non stop partying, fun and games for all.
In an unprecedented move we will be having an Aussie quiz with prize giveaways galore. Not just to the winner, but to everyone who participates. That's right, not just the winner, but everyone who plays!! Each day from Saturday January 22, 2011 - Tuesday January 25, 2011 a set of questions will be posted. Don't worry they won't be too difficult and a lot of the answers can be found here in the Aussie thread or elsewhere here on the board.
On Wednesday January 26, after I give the go ahead, the first person to post the correct answers to all the questions, will be declared the winner . If no one answers all questions correctly, it will be the nearest to. Myself, Stormy and Cookie are the judges, so we are ineligible to participate. As I said, everyone who participates will be taking home a prize.
Prizes include, all things Australian. DVDs, key rings, stationary, soft toys and much more. Hopefully we all have some fun and this could become a annual event each year here on the board.
More details to follow.
Thank You. 8)

My local barber must be giving away free haircuts or something. Usually when I go down there on a Monday every couple of months, there's rarely anybody waiting. Maybe one in the chair and then it'll be my turn.
The last two Monday's I've gone down there on more than one occassion and there's like three or four waiting to get a haircut. I just can't sit there for that long and wait so I keep putting it off to the following week.
The way things are going I'll be looking like cousin It from The Addams Family shortly. :D
-
My barber sits in the cupboard in the bathroom and is available 24/7.

Gee you have sure wrung out Shirts and me!!!!
It certainly is a good visualization of what I feel like. I've been trying to justify the name of Shirts by painting 42 in less than 8 hours. I've got something like writer's cramp and seem to have momentarily lost my sense of humor. I'm too tired to celebrate. I have finally caught up on painting shirts (until I sell some more tomorrow). Now I can relax!! :)

5 Aussie's were up for Golden Globe Awards today.
The result... A big duck egg. :(
None of them took home a gong.

Still they were nominated SK. Better than no recognition at all. I agree though it was rather sad. You would have thought one of them could leave with a globe.

I was happy to see Colin Firth win though.

Crikey!!
In less than half an hour apart from this post, no one has posted in this thread for 24 hours.
Where is everyone?
Toons, Quotes, Stats, anybody, CoooooooooooEEEEEE!! :D
-
Must have been the shock of seeing Colin Firth in the Aussie thread. ;D ;D ;D
I guess we were all otherwise occupied. :o
Actually we were all standing around SC's backyard, with the plumber, watching him digging huge holes. Always read the instructions. It pays off.
See this from the THE ENDLESS, POINTLESS thread
Get this, the plumber arrives with this $10,000 pipe locating machine that he borrowed from a technical college where he teaches plumbing to apprentices three days a week. He turns it on and starts walking around trying to find this underground pipe. Nup he says, it's not working properly. Someone must have changed the settings. So during lunch I googled the pdf instruction manual.
After lunch I said "Why don't you try your pipe locator again otherwise we'll be digging up half the backyard". He is on the wand part and I'm at the camera snake machine which is inside the pipe. Then I turned on the "sonde key" button and wham it's working. We were digging 5 foot away in the wrong spot.
I should bill him for that.

Speaking of The Australia Day competition, there will be five questions posted on each of the four days (Saturday - Tuesday) On Wednesday at 8am (AEDST) I will give the go ahead and the prize line will remain open until 4pm (AEDST) for everyone to post their answers.
Since everyone will be a winner it won't matter whether you post your answers first or last. If you post them in the alloted time, you'll win.
Can't ask for a better competition than that I say. :)

Listen hear folks, the prizes are pretty crappy. So don't get too excited about the comp. ::)
Edit: Who wants a Kangaroo with a drinking problem anyway?

There are a couple of fridge magnets so you can think of us when you open your fridges to get at that beer or even water.
I think this is the easiest competition ever. NO ONE CAN LOSE!!!

Today's Aussie Of The Day.
The newest recipient of Australia's highest medal for military bravery will find the award changes his life, but he can't let it change his character, Victoria Cross holder Keith Payne says.
An SAS digger who "tore into the enemy" and took out three Taliban machine guns single handed in Afghanistan is to be awarded the VC at a special ceremony in Perth on Sunday.
The soldier, known only as Corporal Ben at this stage, will receive his medal from Governor-General Quentin Bryce at Perth's's Campbell Barracks.

1- How many stars are on the Australian Flag?
2- What are the names of Stormy's two cats?
3- What is Tees favorite sport?
4- Toon's has a cousin living in Australia. In which city does he live?

Welcome to the Aussie Thread GE.
Your Aussie thread nickname will be "Jules". When you first started posting on the board you said how you liked Coogan's Bluff and Susan Clark's character, Julie. So that's how I've pictured you in my head since, when I see your posts on the board.
Every Julie I have known always gets called "Jules" so I hope you like it. :)

God, I hope Jules is a girl or I'm going to look even more foolish. :o

Too right it is. It's been one of those weeks. :-[
I've been frantically looking at Jules's posts and I'm 99% sure that she is indeed a female.

I love that song too and it always stirs my patriotic emotions.

Have any of our North American friends been watching those Oprah Winfrey shows through the week that they taped down here last month?
It was a circus when they were here, but I'm curious if they've been a success or not when broadcast?

Can we cheat on the questions? >:D
-
By all means, cheating is encouraged. :D
There are a couple of questions that could have multiple answers. A creative mind wouldn't go astray. ;)

Just to confuse you more than ever. In that clip I posted of Fred Dagg teaching the wife to drive the tractor Fred says "She's been getting on to me and the Trevs" so you can just pick one. :D ;D ;D ;D

Love the toon, Toons. Yep a booze cruise goes well for me too! :)
Thanks Captain Cookie. :)
There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend: Those who draw the pictures, and the people who have the job of giving me the ideas. ;D
This idea of Captain Cookie on the Endeavour, actually came from Tees. :)
-
Now I have to say this. I sailed on the re-enactment of the First Fleet out to Australia for the bicentennial in 1988. I sailed on the Anna Christina. The second smallest ship in the fleet. I did however step on board Endeavour one. :)
-
I have been on the The Bark Endeavour. :) This is a replica of Captain Cook's ship Endeavour.
The ship is in the beautiful seaside resort of whitby in Yorkshire. :)

Aussie of the Day is Gary Blaschke.
He runs the Disabled Surfers Association and I saw his story on tv last night. His story brought tears to my eyes the way he gets an army of volunteers to reinvigorate disabled people. The looks on their faces was amazing.

I don't believe it! Tee's has just given me The Drift Off
Just when you think your starting to chat to someone online then you go and see what they are doing(who's online) and bang you see you're getting TDO. The old "Viewing unread topics since their last visit" routine.
You TDO's think we're not on to it. ^-^
-
Sorry Stormy, what were we chatting about? I've forgotten. :-[
I drifted off to do an inventory of my DVD's as I came across a descrepency between what's on my shelf and what I've got on file on computer. I'm still in the process of working it out and have found a few more DVD's which haven't been added to the list.
I'll have to sack my data entry lackey. :D
-
Don't worry, I forgot as well. I just had a Seinfeld moment. :D
How many DVD's do you have?
-
I had it down as 511, but I'll give you correct amount in about half an hour. :D
-
I think I've got about 350 but haven't really brought many in the last couple of years. They are slow to bring the old classic films on DVD.
-
The official count is 514.
I still have another 22 next to the telly to view, although the majority of them are tv series. (Monk, Burn Notice, Rawhide)

Not really true I feel like this every Australia Day. My flag flies in the window because the 'powers that be' here in Yorkshire wont allow you to fly any flags other than the England flag and the Yorkshire White rose flag. :o

Hey Tees that is some collection. I only have about 50 movies other than all of Clint's. Except, of course, Hereafter.
The eastwood collection is on three shelves above my PC in the den. I can just reach up and get a movie without leaving my seat! They are stored in alphabetical order . My others are not in any order at all. Lazy I guess. ::)

While I am in this homesick mood I would like to add this to the Australian music collection.

You can imagine how I feel when I hear this. I do go around the house singing it quite often. Peter Allen was a special favourite of mine. I saw him a few times live.

Here is the third set of questions in our Australia Day Weekend Quiz. Don't worry, I'll be posting all 20 again on Wednesday so you won't have to go searching for them all through the last few pages, if you missed a day. :)
11- In what month of the year is The Melbourne Cup horse race?
12- What room in the house has Stormy been recently renovating?
13- In which Australian State was Mary, Crown Princess of Denmark born?
14- What year was Australia's Bicentennial?
15- What is Australia's highest Mountain?
-
My local barber must be giving away free haircuts or something. Usually when I go down there on a Monday every couple of months, there's rarely anybody waiting. Maybe one in the chair and then it'll be my turn.
The last two Monday's I've gone down there on more than one occassion and there's like three or four waiting to get a haircut. I just can't sit there for that long and wait so I keep putting it off to the following week.
The way things are going I'll be looking like cousin It from The Addams Family shortly. :D
I felt for sure today would be third time lucky.
Nope!
The little rascal isn't even open. I bet he's pinched my idea and had a five day weekend. 8)

Scratch that. Thanks to Toons for reminding me but there is also the 39 (so far) Clint Eastwood DVD's from DeAgostini Magazines, that I forgot to count. Even though they are all sealed and will remain so. :)
So the correct count is 553. 8)

It's never been the same since we won it though. I'm no sailing fan but what that did for the country here and how we beat the might of the USA who up until that time had never lost the cup it was phenomenal.
Ever since then though the Cup has sort of lost that luster and I couldn't even tell you when the last time it was on or who won. All I remember in the past ten years was there were a lot of legal battles and even a European country that's landlocked won the cup a few years ago. ???

16- What is the Barossa Valley famous for?
17- What do Aussies call 'The Coat Hanger'?
18- Which State in Australia is the the TV program Neighbours set ?
19- Who is the funniest person(s) in Australia?
20- Who is the most beautiful Australian person (Male/Female)?

There is a Neighbours tour bus that visits "Ramsay St" twice a day. The people in that street must live like hermits.

How many times have you been on the tour? You soapie addict. :D
-
There's no better way to meet young British girls. ;)

Everyone relax. I finally got my flowing locks (;)) trimmed.
All back to normal. Walked in and only one in the chair and no one waiting. I even got a car parking spot right outside. :)
-
OK Stormy, you've had 7 weeks R&R, it's time to get back on the weather horse.
Tell me please, how is it going to be this Sunday for golf at Camden between 7am and high noon. :)

On my last day at work, I was sitting next to a ranga mate in the smoko shed. A bloke came up to him from a different company and said to him, "You're sitting in my seat". I thought to myself (gees pal, you shouldn't of said that). Well my mate stood up looked at the back of the chair and said, "I don't see your name on it".
What followed was a barrage of verbal fire power with expletives, so this bloke put his tail between his legs and wandered off.
No bad for 6am in the morning I thought. :D
-
Ha, sounds exactly like the lunchroom at work somedays. Myself and about five mates sit at the same table, same time each day. Anyone else sitting there and they cop a spray from one of us.
These big Kiwi guys were sitting there one day and I went off. It must have looked amusing seeing a 5' 5" ranga going postal, but they vacated the table and you should see them scurry if they are sitting there when I walk in for lunch somedays now.

There was a pic of me on the board a few years ago but it's no longer showing, but I'm sure most people know what I look like.
-
I'd have to turn image quality down on my camera.
-
Was that the Celebs you look like thread, SK? Even I had a pic in that one.

Yeah. Is your pic still showing?
-
Yeah. Is your pic still showing?
No, I don't think so. In fact, I think I had to have someone else host the image for me!
-
Yeah. Is your pic still showing?
Nope, not showing. Here's my post: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=2234.msg30997#msg30997 (http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=2234.msg30997#msg30997)

I think that goes for all of us. Well the comments about Stats in the other thread, he might give Tom Cruise a run for his money. :D

19- Who is the funniest person(s) in Australia?
20- Who is the most beautiful Australian person (Male/Female)?
Those last two sound a bit ... subjective? ???

Like Stormy said,
There are a couple of questions that could have multiple answers. A creative mind wouldn't go astray. ;)

That pic could certainly go into that celebrity look a like thread.
It's Lee Arenberg from Seinfeld without the goatee!

That was 10 years ago but I haven't changed much.

The moustache is a little longer. I'm trying for the Chopper Read look. :)
-
Actually I just trimmed my goatee today, I've had one for over twenty years now. Don't like it too long.
-
I would have fallen out of my chair had you posted a pic of you with a goatee.
All I keep seeing now is that Seinfeld episode where George and Mike were fighting over that car parking spot and hearing, "He's So Phoney!" :D
-
Well it's not as dark as Lee's, there are a few more grey whiskers these days.
Too bad they both missed out on the fight night. Loved that sidewalk interaction of passersby.
-
My mental picture of you wasn't that far off actually.

The one on the right. :D

What? That's me on the left. ???
-
What? That's me on the left. ???
Only in name. ;)

Only in name. ;)
You are too kind. :)
-
Well now, you both look about how I imagined you. That is spooky. I have an image of most people on the board when I read their posts. When they do post pictures they are never like my images of them, however you two are.
I go along with the Lee Arenberg from Seinfeld look alike. It is quite uncanny. :o
-
I am sure Books will enjoy todays song. It didn't get to me at all. However if you had posted this one I might have felt differently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5L3ssIlG_I&feature=related

It is brought on by this special day and I have just cracked a tinny beer to Australia and the people I left behind, the Aussie friends I have made since I left plus the honorary Aussies in this thread. Cheers to you all.
Note the changeI don't think Beer was on this page. ;)

With Cookie's permission, here a pic of her waiting for some actor, I can't remember who. It must have been someone really famous for her to stand out in a dreary London street freezing her you know what off just to catch a glimpse of him.

Now I have to say this. I sailed on the re-enactment of the First Fleet from Mauritius to Australia for the bicentennial in 1988. I sailed on the Anna Christina. The second smallest ship in the fleet. I did however step on board Endeavour once. :)
I was looking for something else when I came across these.

Sorry but it's time to depart the fun and games for a while and to fire up the BBQ. It's been a fun ride and I shall return. :)
