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."

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

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

.... "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." 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.  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.
