Joke of the Week
You know you’re Australian if…..
You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually ends in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, lezzo, metho, rego, servo, smoko etc.
You believe that the more you shorten someone’s name the more you like them.
You always pronounce Melbourne: “Mel-bin”.
You can translate: “Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas.” *
You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep.
* A meat pie to the first Pommy to translate this sentence.
I believe that would be, “Darren and Sharon had been listening to AC/DC (a group of Australian musicians who play principally in the style known commonly as ‘heavy rock’) whilst journeying to an establishment of the MacDonalds chain of restaurants.”
Does the prize have a veggie alternative? Or does that make me sound like a pommy poofter?

Pam, of course, is her blogging nom de plume. Her real name is surely Sheila.

So which one of you poofters put the video camera in the corner of our dining room?

Cat got your tongue Richard?
A poem for Kim.
Sheila’s not the go,
Oh no no no
What about Desiree
Or Imogen?
Nup, don’t desire it
Or imagine it.
For myself
I’m fine with
Being Who I Am

He has, Pam. I’m hoping he’ll bring it back before he’s chewed it too badly.

OK, Rich, who helped you?
What about a veggie pastie.
Richard 02.12.12 at 9:15 am
No help, honest. But back in the day I studied at the university of Ramsay Street.
A veggie pasty would be great.
