They won't becoming, Bretrick, because most are too nervous about the noah's arks the the joe blakes.

I doubt any of them will be coming, although Miss @hollydolly would know most of those terms.
Just don't ask her to pass you the dead horse or answer the Al-capone

Loved Australia. The confusion with words was on a menu. Rockets, pumpkin, etc.

A Hill's hoist is the standard clothes line in this part of Scotland. It's the one that will stand up to the weather.
XXXX sounds like a beer for people who don't like anything with taste.

I will come. Who is buying my ticket?

 

[hollydolly]

Uhmmmm, you? Start saving now, and you can be here in a couple of years.

 

[Bretrick]

I love Lamingtons....

I love them too. Though I have never made them. I don't think I have ever made a sponge cake from scratch.

 

[Tish]

I love Lamingtons....

Me too.

 

[Leonie]

Me too.

Me three. The billy lids like 'em as well.

Friends of ours went to live there, They had one very nice tame boy and one spoiled brat. The mother of the boys had a sister living in Australia so the move was supposed to be easy-peasy. They were back in about 3 months, I suspect Aussies didn't appreciate the brat and his mother felt the need to get back to more "civilized" Canada. She never said it but it is just my suspicion.

DH would have loved to visit Australia when we were younger and couldn't afford it. Now that we can afford it neither of us is physically able.

#6 Ute is a pickup truck. On the rest I haven't a clue.
It is 30 years since we had a holiday in Oz. We really enjoyed it. The Aussies were nice folks.

It's called XXXX because Queenslanders can't spell beer.

Loved Dave Allen.

That's okay. I visit vicariously through Luke's Doggy Daycare videos on Youtube, almost every day.
