Thanks guys.

A couple of months ago I fitted a snorkle to the Disco. The wife said, "What are you doing that for! We don't need that!"

Now, when ever we go through water she says, "Look at that snorkle paying itself off."

Just for clarification,

"B**st**d" is a generally term of endearment here. More often than not, it is a term used for your closest friends.

From what I can understand, our manner can be a source of offence around the world.

I'm fairly neutral towards it. I found it to be very cliched (if that's a word). It was more like a 3hr tourism ad with a couple of funnies thrown in. I thought Brandon Walters was excellent and very nearly saved it single handedly. We have a social condition here called the "tall poppy syndrom...

Yeah, down here we have to be specific. We have 4 codes of "football". Australian Rules, Rugby League, Rugby Union, and Soccer.

A few years ago, the FFA adopted "Football" as the official term for "Soccer", but it's not really catching on.

In Queensland it's the same as what Bruce said. We also have defined categories of weapons. For all intents and purposes average people can only obtain permits for Cat. A and B weapons.
