Yes, you can even read all about it on [en.wikipedia.org]. Sinn translates to sense btw.

For beer they probably have HB (Herborner Bärenbräu). Not the best I ever had, but the Export is drinkable.

In New Zealand there's a place called 'Gore' - had to send my sister a postcard from there, she has a similarly sick sense of humour as I do! Lion beer across NZ seems a darn sight better than it's on tap Aussie cousins.

If you go through Wagga Wagga and past Gumly Gumly, take the right turn before you get to Book Book and you'll get to Nacka Nacka Creek.

I've always wanted to visit Gluepot or flourbag. Gotta love Aussie names eh?

Well if you head over for the Fforde Ffiesta you can pop into the Gluepot in Swindon, it's a pub in the middle of town by the Mechanics. Probably nowhere near as nice as South Aust's Riverland though, even for an ardent Swindonian.

Yes Martin, Give a wave into the morning sun.


We should just about have finished lunch by then and any should be able to respond.

That's one thing about Oz. If you climb up on something it's not far to sea level. Only at sea level they have those nasty bitey things that can ruin your quality of life. What are they called now????

That's it. Council parking police.

Speaking of words, isn't vomitorium a great word?

I didn't invent that one, but I was there the weekend we first used vomitose (vomit + comatose)-
I was one of the lucky ones that didn't quite get into that state (at least that time)...

There are still vomitoriums ('vomitoria' sounds too much like that place just below NSW, and is too apt for comfort) in theatres. They are called 'the vomit' in Australia because none of us have a second language and tend to punch people who talk Latin to us.

Usually a tunnel or corridor it provides a quick exit for large props or multitudinous cast members that you want to get off stage in a hurry but don't want cluttering up the wings. The door at the end 'vomits' the undesired objects (usually) into a side alley of the theatre.

Lovely way those actors have with words there....

Related with names: At my work place we had to call businessness for the Vic Govrn on power supplies i wont explain its to shocking... But we get a list of names some can be just a laugh fest. A female colleague had the name Dick Someone. obviously we didnt have a last name and Someone was used as substitute. So asking for Dick Someone caused a titter, i know it's childish but it brightens up a dull job. Anyway she called the number and asked the receptionist if she could speak to Dick. Without a sign of a snigger the receptionist said "We have no Dick here" My Fem colleague hung up she couldn't hold in the raucous laughter.

Just thought i'd share that. I what a boring life we lead.

Old joke time:

Bloke needs some information from a company and is told to contact Mr Rutinkbrake.

So he phones up and ask for Mr Rutinkbrake. The switchboard operator (shows how old the joke is , doesn't it?) says who. The bloke says Mr Rutinkbrake again. Again he's asked to repeat the name.

Slightly aggro now he starts to yell: Rutinbkake, Rutinkbrake. Don't you have a Rutinkbrake there?


The switchboard operator says : Not here. we barely get time for a cup of coffee.

Are you sure Bunyip, that your first name isn't Graham? I know a Graham with a similar and endless collection of jokes just like that one.
^_^

I am not a Graham. If he has such similarity to me may God have mercy on his soles and the rest of his walking apparatus.

There is a small village in Arkengarthdale, North Yorkshire, called Booze. It does not have a pub.

Hmmm.... How small? Is it worth rectifying this?

Quite frankly, I find 'Arkengarthdale' more astounding than 'Booze', but if it did have a pub run by a bloke called Boo, you could drive past and give a cat-call, hence: boo Boo's Booze boozer.

...Maybe I should be over on the stream of consciousness thread.

I'll drink to that!

Not worth rectifying.

I chuckle.
