I like Bee Fold Lane. Except that it has the name "bee" in it, and bees have been very much overmarketed here lately.

Technicolour yawning.... Must remember that one.

Martin you can also take your pick of: talking to the toilet; driving the porcelain bus; calling for Ruth; or having a liquid laugh.

talking on the big white telephone, chunder

Rainbow showers- much worse than the other kind...

And the eskimos only have 40 words for snow, phht.

No.... They have one for each of the forty different kinds of snow. :P

I know most of those. Somehow technicolour yawning just makes me smile more.

Cultured mob, we've got around here...

Of course. I am South African, and hence the epitomy of good taste and culture, unlike you convicts and pilgrims and stay-at-homes. :P (A box of tissues does not an opera house make...)

That should cover most of the nationalities in sufficiently broad terms.

I always like: Flat out like a lizard drinking

Only recently discovered what chunder was, hadn't heard of barry mckenzie

After the comic strip came two Barry McKenzie movies:

"The Adventures of Barry McKenzie"

and

"Barry McKenzie Holds His Own"

Both worth watching, neither any good. In the second, look out for a young Clive James as one of the drunken Aussies - sorry about the tortology)

what about as dry as a dead dingo's donger?
A few roos loose in the top paddock

Australian is such a wonderful and colourful language

Yes, we specialise in weird sayings and similies. Make a fortune exporting them overseas, along with the Fosters, but we don't make use the stuff ourselves.

Fosters? Who drinks that stuff?

Poms and Merkins, apparently.
No-one's told them that you dont *drink* that stuff, you open a tinnie and drop your cigarrette butts in it to extinguish them. I'm told it makes an alright hair rinse too.

Yeah, true! I once was subjected to washing my hair in medicinal beer (off beer from thunderstormed beer) because I virtually lived with the pet chooks and Mum found a mite on my head. The only problem is your hair is sticky and smells like the floor of a bar!

While on a trip to England just recently I was forced to drink Fosters by some "well meaning" people that we were staying with. They wouldn't believe that we get rid of the stuff because it's so bad, and thats after they have had a few trip to Australia as well - truly an insult! But a quick qestion, how come we get rid of the Fosters but keep VB?

They used to sell shampoo with beer in it, called Body on Tap-
of course, that was in the '70s...

Think I'll stick with putting it in my chili, thanks!
