Most Aussies will always go Charcoal, but when the weather's been dry and the land is getting parched the government enforce fire ban days.

So you have to use a Gas barbie.

On a fire ban day you are not allowed the anti mosquito citronella candles either so what with there being no smoke and no candles the main course is usually you.

take THE piss

not take A piss.

cultural differences you see.

Similarly to the phrase

I was pissed (USA to have been angry)

I was pissed (UK to have been drunk).

Other countries exist.

Also there seems to have been a lot of mentions recently of my home town Glasgow.

And the actual pin part is too narrow.

yeah it's pretty weird.

But then We all grew up with endless film references to shit that we'd never seen, coz US films rarely if ever think that there is anyone else in the world.

For example I know an awful lot about Gilligan's Island for someone who's never seen even a picture of the cast.

Oddly films from my neck of the woods, if they are shown at all, are subtitled in the US despite being made in English.

Like most here I initially couldn't see the image, so had a mental image quite different from the actual situation.

That guy needed to be moved on.

I'm all for people being left alone just so long as they do not present a danger to others and themselves.

That amount of crap up on that centre spar where it could fall onto moving vehicles is just dangersous.

If he was not over traffic I'd say let the guy be.

I recall being berated in NYC by Al the Jewish cowboy about how the rest of the world are basket cases when it comes to pizza.

He included Italians on the list.

Only NYC pizza counted as Pizza according to Al.

He made me laugh but he was wrong.

A raw egg on a pizza is a joy, as are a lot of things, but I draw the line at pineapple, that is just evil.

Dream Pizza

Thin and crispy base great tomato sauce, mozarella.

Then, artichoke hearts, anchovies, egg, ham, capers, onion, chicken.

It is a joy.

I was reading the book Low Life about new york crime and it turns out that Capone can trace his gang affiliations back to the Five Pointerr, as seen in Gangs of New York.

Where exactly are these massive media empires that are slavishly devoted to the left?

There aren’t any.

The media is almost completely right-centrist.

With the Fox network bringing up the loony right.

The media is mostly fair and with a slight bias in favour of the right.

What I think you ar4e complaining about is that the Right Wing Froot Loops who run the US are such a shabby shower of theives and stand over men that they keep gettign caught out.

Just coz your guys in the White house are backwards doesn’t make the media wrong.

Secondly

Steohawk.

Did you have to wipe the foam from your lip[s after typing that BIZARRE definition of Socialism?

The last time I read anything like that it was from Sen McCarthy.

really, get a grip.

One was expressly not US american.

Says a lot about world view and how well the US has colonised the rest of the world that I was even recognising slogans from products that have never been on sale in the UK.

But hell, they releases the Brady BUnch movies here despite the show never hsving been shown here.

God there's a blast from the past.

French Curves.

Well that's what we uised to call them.

But as has been stated, a lot of that stuff is still in use...I look to my left and see ISOGRAPHS and Rapidographs of mine some which were new whn my Dad bought them in the early 50's and they still work fine.

I have two full sets of Isographs, one that has only ever known white ink.

But i now use the computer so much than when I find my slef makign a mistake with a pen I keep mutterign "undo".
