[quote=Debbie;473341]$358 covers about 2 months heating bill here even with the wood burner...

If you were to live in Queensland, you would have no, that's no, nothing, nada to pay in the way of heating bills, Air Conditioner power bill would be a different thing.

The further north you go, the hotter it gets, strange about that. I lived in Townsville for a while, the middle of summer, 36deg C and pouring rain (for glyns benefit."

Very funny Freddie, if this Sir Les is the best that can be offered up, I will stay and complain about the weather in Wisconsin.

Talk about being picky!!!!

I did my best, you have to remember that we are only a population of 21 Million people, it's hard to find that special person at short notice. The distances people have to travel just to try and satisfy your needs is greater than you could ever imagine.

We had calls from Nurf herders from Upper Cumbuctta west wanting to audition, but it was going to take them 4 days to get to the nearest Airport, Nerfs are very difficult animals to work with, they will only graze in the long paddock and spend most of the day chasing drop bears and hoop snakes.

I think you should think your self lucky with Sir Les, I do trust you have done a wiki search on him.

I've got to admit, the quality of contestant as not great, we only had three turn up at the audition, Sir Les, a naked Glyn, complete with wilting rose (not the only thing wilting I might add) and Tankie with, well, lets not go there, this forum is moderated for the benefit of the greater world.

So, Dear lady, We tried, We managed to, at very short notice, supply to you, at great expense to the Australian taxpayer I might add, a selection of "would be suitors" to try and satisfy YOUR needs.

It must also be pointed out that the Government is funding this show to try and increase our population. The department running this award winning TV show is the Immigration Department.

Again, think yourself lucky, the next department in line was the Department of Aboriginal Affairs who wanted to offer a prize that consisted of free housing, being 6 sheets of Galvanised, corrugated iron, a slab of VB and as much area of river bed in Alice Springs as you could ever want.

And to think you turned down Sir Les Patterson.

The show has not gone to air yet, would you like to schedule another episode, say next month to allow others to have a chance?

If so, please supply your CV and a detailed description of what you require in a man and we'll see what we can do.

Freddie, Program director and Television executive.

Yes , the distances in Australia - a friend of mine worked there for half a year in sheep farm . The biggest argument there on friday night was whether to go to pub (A - 55 km. in one way ); or pub B ( 77km. the other way) or pub C (335 km. to south).
But he said that he´d never met friendlier people .

So, Furken Freddysturker to get a trio of contestants you had to import two Poms! Doesn't say a great deal for Strine, does it? Shame on you. In the meantime carry on rattling those chains!

Who? Me? Never.

See sand looks just like that. But the "Early spring attire" is a little less restrictive

Telling it like it is

As most of you know, us Aussies are a no nonsense lot who tell it like it is.

The link below is a bar tab from the Royal Mail Hotel in Meekatharra, in Western Australia. Meekatharra is a small mining town, about 400 km east of the WA coast, not far from the tropic of Capricorn. Every day is hot, 35+, 45 is often.

Australian miners, like all miners are a rough, tough bunch who work hard and play hard. When they drink, they don't muck around. Beer is the usual drink, JD and Bundy Rum comes a close second. Sickly sweet ladies drinks like Barcadi Cruisers, when consumed by ladies are called "tart fuel", when consumed by a man, his sexuality is questioned. Obviously, the person who consumed said drink must have drawn attention to himself as the bar tab shows.

I know, there are people who have no idea what a "poofter" is, check the link.poofter - Wiktionary



Meekatharra Shire
