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

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.

From this Sunday’s paper:

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? ;)

OK, Rich, who helped you?

What about a veggie pastie. :)

No help, honest. But back in the day I studied at the university of Ramsay Street.

A veggie pasty would be great.
