Adds to the emphasis, but if you don't get it Rod, don't worry. you can enjoy the joke anyway.

Is that a joke Gilly. It might be considered by some as being funnier than the original.

I remember seeing the Bee Gees perform at the (I think) Dairy Pavillion, which was free entry, of the Royal Easter Show ( ie the Showground), about 1960. The jerkins which they were wearing in this photo were the significant fashion of the day (even I had one), and I remember the trio wearing...

"When in Rome...'. It is trite to say that a visitor to a foreign country is required to comply with the country's law in much the same way as are the residents. What this young man did would be looked upon as an act of simple yahooing in Byron Bay, Port Douglas or similar. Not so Aceh. It is...

Yes. King Charles III is Australia's head of state and the homage is an expression of loyalty to Australia by medium of that status. Begrudging republicans are welcome to disengage (it is not mandatory), but in reality they are only taking an ill-thoughtout sideswipe at the country and its people.

...but it's too late, mate. We have let the changes come, and now the past has passed forever, it's time to let the children have their fun.

An interesting article, although it does not really persuade me of the need to innovate further styles of eating apples into Australian markets. I have often wondered why Australia's apple orchardists have not introduced a useful cooking apple which could expand the use of real (and tart) apples...

But at least in the context of this joke they are American politicians (...a barber shop in Washington DC). We can laugh at that. No one in Australia would ever suggest that our politicians are in it for the "freebies".

...and he is quite right in doing so!

No, what is being suggested is the use of English words contemporaneously used in Australia dialect. A quick check of Ozwords in a Macquarie or Oxford English dictionary will do the trick.

Your question asks about one type of food, but you answer with a type of meal. My type of food in those circumstances would have to be vegetables. I cannot bear the thought of timeless vegetanarianism, but logic tells me that vegetables are the only type of food which could sustain me without...

No, no. It was Fred not Freada. If it had been Freada, the entire punchline would have been turned around.

Costco is a co-operative (or membership club) which provides SOME price advantages to its members by linking its prices to bulk purchases. When it is written that you will be saved to necessity of visiting the supermarket so often, what is really meant is that Costco requires that you purchase...

So what is it, from your asserted expertise that Funeral Insurance Plans provide (or more importantly, do not provide) which is different to what is generally believed they provide. From your stated expertise, a simple answer (not a generalisation) should be possible.

and rightly so, c'mon Dougal.

Johnny Rivers "Summer Rain" and John Denver's " Somedays are Diamonds" are two on my favourites list.

It is easy to write those remarks Gsr, but on what bases do you do so? I can understand your emotive response, but our criminal justice system is based on something more than blind emotion.

What purpose would such a "deal" serve", and do many countries have a justice system, including judiciaries that are better than those in Australia? I think not.

I am in complete agreement.
