More on-line news. Larter is the name of the mayor of the town in Australia near where the accident took place. "As anyone would be in a vehicle lying upside-down for three days over Christmas, I imagine anyone would have been distressed," Larter said. "You'd be missing your family over Christmas and I suppose you'd be wondering when somebody was going to come and rescue you."

Okay, Jackie. I didn't know I was playing, but you win.

You should know us Aussies have a reputation for being 'laid back'

Oh, I thought you meant the game of underwear... blush

Is that the game invented by the Basques, jackie?

Anything an Aussie says is understated. whistle

And therefore anything we say is overstated?

Sorry, I didn't get the Basques reference.

I think Jackie...that Rhuby is being very clever with Basque (language + underwear). Double entendre even maybe laugh

It sounds very Winnie-ther-Pooh-ish to me.

Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

(language + underwear) Well--evidently I am either ignorant and/or stupid; I don't get even this explanation.

thanks, M. smile Boy--speaking of double-entendres! If I'd known, I'd have used that in the post I just made over in W&F.

Had I but known, I'd have basqued in my superiority. Corsets tough after the fact.
