I don't think your Health and Safety people will allow that sort of thing anymore.

One thing about a living language you can always blame the other bloke. Bloody P.O.Ms still cant speak the Queens English let alone Strine. I think (i know thats dangerous) that stiff upper lip is to blame along with some other pursuits known only to that bunch of hooligans. How yar going me old mate P t P.
Just found a couple of lonely girls looking for a new home the names are Sht Le and SMLE.

Besides all that, by now we have TWO guns behind every blade of grass!! LOL

I came looking for Long Branch's and learned something. But my pet hate is members not giving an Location and a little more than Australia, USA or England. Get over it, Big Brother doesn't care a ****.

T'ain't Big Brother I'm concerned about. Besides, I'm fairly mobile, and don't even have a computer at the house. If it's important I might let individuals know, otherwise, MYOB.

Mr Moore,
I do appoligise, I don't want to know your business. Not that I want to know, just makes it easier to know whether I am talking to an Aussie, Canadian, POM or Yank, as our humours differ, by this I mean, am I serious about this or not. I just don't want to offend, as not many understand the Aussie's humour and bluntness.

Hey Doug, nice block of land you have there. You must be rich.

Hey Guys!!!!!!!!!!! You need to discover women!!!!!!

Bearclaw, Doug only owns that block of land in is wet dreams. That is the old Long Branch factory site.

A few years ago, I took an Australian friend on a spring bear hunt with me. I know this is off topic but it's wandering anyway. We got him a very nice North American Black Bear from the southern interior of British Columbia. The bear was 6ft 3 1/2 inches from tail to snout. A very decent boar.

He knows little or nothing about milsurps, not much about sporting rifles or pistols either. Darn good fisherman though. He took a 43 pound Tyee from coastal waters off Price Rupert, the following year. Great fellow, up for anything.

The reason I'm telling you this, is that he has developed an interest in hunting and shooting but says it's very difficult to get into it where he is. I suspect, this may be because of where he lives more than any other reason. He lives just outside of Perth. I don't rememer the name of the place off hand. His neighbors, were quite impressed with his bear skin rug. His wife's relatives were mortified and berated him liberally. Strange land indeed.

You're right about a different sense of humor, although I think Canadians and Australians share a love of sarcasm and bluntness.
