Hev......mate.....you are a dead set bloody legend. That site had my spluttering on my vegemite coated musk sticks!!!! (mmm musk sticks) I feel that Aussie interests are in good hands and, seeing you are in a time zone 3 hours ahead of me, reckon that I can now get 3 hours more sleep in the full knowledge that the eastern shores are so well defended.
In passing, I hope you don't mind if I point out that I think you're being a tad too polite with the resident K1W1's. You could afford to turn up the burners a bit. I know you're a bit new, but they ARE from New Zealand and we ARE from Australia - they expect it. Don't let them think we're going soft just coz we lose the odd cricket match every few decades.

K1W1 = KIWI
Don't read too much into it Jackie - as I've said before, we are but simple folk - on both sides of the Tasman.

[gently chiding -e] Now Fiberbabe - if you'd carefully followed the "Aussie Beers" pages at the site mentioned by Bean at the start of this thread you would have known this! There's a pic there n' all.
Ay de mi! Lo siento... I went ass over teakettle  about the musksticks and totally forgot what I was doing. Besides, theorizing about liquid Visual Basic got me wondering about what specific gravity other vaporware might have to attain in order to take solid form...

Thanks bel Glad to be part of da family  . I've only left the signature there because I don't really like being called a stranger ... according to official title . And if you like that site, you should check out http://www.theonion.com. I know it's been mentioned before here, but it was a while ago. See Stales? I'm finding my way around the site...

but in just a few more post (4 i think) you won't be. and if you care, you can look up in the information and announcement thread the various titles.. they are fun, but in some ways meaningless.
some members have changed names.. so their current standing at addict, or old hand doesn't really give a complete picture to how long they have been posting.. others like the AsP --have to kick and scream, and get faldage off line so they can get on..
some of us have highspeed always on connections, some have convienent access as work (and waste way to much time doing awad instead of work..) some of us write long posts..
some post a word or two.. but everywhere.
the titles are there.. some us, no matter what the title are always stranger than other..

A quote from the second of Max's links: "While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.
Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but privately, world leaders said that's only because no one asked them."
Brilliant ... how does one get a job with these people?

News Item: "Pictures of women in swimsuits have been banned from tourist promotional material for next month's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Australia because they might offend Muslim delegates."
Ah, those delegates are so tolerant of other ways of life. "When they are in Rome, the Romans must do as they do."

Are you sure it wasn't because no one axed them?

I received this in an email today. I'm not sure I agree with all of them, but...
You know it's Summer in Oz when...
* The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
* Hot water now comes out of both taps.
* You can make sun tea instantly.
* You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
* The temperature drops below 35 degrees (Celcius) and you feel a little chilly.
* You discover that in February it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
* You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
* You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
* You break a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
* Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"
* You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
* The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
* The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt, and pepper.
* Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs.
* The cows are giving evaporated milk.
* The trees are whistling for the dogs.
* Your best friends in summer just happen to have air conditioning or a pool
* You remind yourself for the nth year in a row to buy a new car that has airconditioning
* You sleep more often in your back yard than you do in your house
* You think living in Antarctica can't be that bad

Well, it's been hot, but it's headed towards 100 posts. It will surely implode in the face of all those gratuitous insults ...

It's just a pity that the 100th is actually the 101st, as the original post is not counted, and that each page only displays 99 posts, including the original.

Did I mention that Chandrasekhar calculated that 19 million Australians were roughly equivalent to the mass of one white dwarf star, provided that they were all drinking out of Fosters tinnies? I would say that this would mean the collapse of Australian civilisation, but I fear that ...

I'm cross threading with the Olympic theme, here but if you want to read some classic Australian-isms, have a look at the Roy & HG site. These two are classic "ocker blokes" who tell it how they see it. (The TV series is on here really late at night so don't get to see too much of it, so here's the website if you want a look.) I was ROTFLMAO at the commentary of the race, and subsequent interview with Steven Bradbury. http://theicedream.i7.com.au/Enjoy! Hev
