John & Brian on "The Front Fell Off"

Mock interview from Clarke and Dawe regarding an Australian Shipping Mishap

Thanks for that. I've seen it before but it's still funny the second time. There are many things where you don't want the front to fall off... for example, in this picture of the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada.

What a magnificent tower!

Should be called Petronis

Did you notice the woman in the foreground? Don't you think she has rather large hands, and that her right hand is a bit larger than her left?

Yes, her skinny sister has the same problem with her hands, but nobody seems to notice.

I was more concerned tht she appears to have lost her belt.

But I do agree that the tower is worth a second glance.

(Has the 'Australia' thread turned into a 'Colonial' thread?)

I agree, Humph.

Seems to be hijackers around.

things tend to go that way when men look at boobs.

All my old Australia photos are on prints, and I'll have to scan a few to add to these "enlightened" topics.

Real ORSTRYLYAN stuff

Real old, used some of this on my 386.

Decent set of chest puppies.

I hadn't seen that one, Pete. I'll have to forward it to my daughter who is a computer tech for the school board. The mother of my kids was an "Orstrylyan" so my daughter and son would get a laugh from it.

Nice one Pete. Ignore the knockers below your post - they're probably just jealous.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is in hot water with the governor of Alabama for his response to comedian Robin Williams' "Australians are basically English rednecks" gibe.

Williams made the joke on the Dave Letterman TV talkshow in the US earlier in the week and Rudd, during a radio interview on Wednesday, hit back by recommending the comedian "spend a bit of time in Alabama before he frames comments about anyone being particularly redneck".

Rudd's reference to Alabama and rednecks generated a terse response from Alabama governor Bob Riley.

Is Rudd a ruddy redneck too.

He has to draw worlds press' attention to a chuck-a-way remark.

Further to the above, sooooo funny.......LOL

More News!

Robin Williams apologises to Kevin Rudd over 'redneck' jibe | News.com.au

'COMEDIAN Robin Williams has apologized to Kevin Rudd and offered to take him to a strip club next time the PM visits the US.

Williams yesterday laughed off the controversy after he dubbed Aussies "English rednecks" on US TV, but said he was sorry.

"Mr Rudd, I apologize," he said. "I would like to modify my terminology and use the term `English good old boys' instead."

Williams also jokingly begged the Prime Minister to let him back in the country and offered to send him transcripts of any future material he planned to use that mentioned Australia.

"If not, I'd love to go to a strip club with you in New York," he quipped, in reference to a storm created when it was revealed Mr Rudd had had a big night out at a New York strip club.'

Looks like this story just keeps getting bigger

Nice one Pete. Ignore the knockers below your post - they're probably just jealous.

Can't ignore those knockers - they're too much in-yer-face!!

At least you Auzzies can walk down to Bondi beach and there are "knockers" of all shapes and sizes laid out on display...

I've seen the...

Big ones, small ones, some so very pert ones

Fat ones, skinny ones, even little bitty ones

Round ones, droopy ones and even pancake flat ones

Firm ones, squishy ones, some that are even milky ones

Black ones, white ones, some just turning pink ones

Brown ones, red ones, some you want in your bed ones

Yah, I've seen knockers all.

^Bet you haven't... have you ever been to Newgate?

He told The Sydney Morning Herald, "We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind and why anyone would be offended, we don't know."

Sessions said the publisher would replace the book for any buyer "small-minded enough" to complain. The reprinting will cost A$20,000.

Love it...... hehehe

Would taste terrible. Just with prosciutto, maybe. But the epicurean clash with sardines - - definitely a no-no.

Should be classed as 'bad taste'.

Yeah, that was my immediate reaction too. Sardines and prosciutto!!!??

But upon reflection, it may just work....think about fish sauce in pork dishes in Asia.

I avoid fish sauce as much as possible. If I need some salt in my food, I add salt - not fish sauce.

And basically that is it's use - a substitute for salt. Don't know about the iodine/goitre part though - maybe fish sauce has iodine as well.

Vung Tau is down the river from us, famous throughout VN for it's fish sauce. Place stinks of it.

It will soon cost $NZ18.00 for a pack of 20 fags here.

Not for Ockers to be outdone, Ding Batt Rudd has joined the fray ........

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has launched a sweeping attack on smoking in a bid to regain political momentum after the collapse of his climate change policy.

In a carefully timed move before next month's Budget, Rudd yesterday announced an immediate 25 per cent hike in the tobacco excise - adding more than A$2 ($NZ2.48) to a pack of 30 cigarettes - and a ban on any form of advertising or inducement on cigarette packaging.

Australian internet advertising of tobacco products will also be restricted.

Smokers in Australasia are being done.

Also goes back to his insulation batt fiasco.

Someone told him it was all the untrained blodgers who moved off the dole onto roof insulation installation lark that were burning down Australian homes.

He thought they were just discarding their butts in the batts.

Although there's nothing funny about the new tax. Once again, he's whittling away his main support base. I'd say the reason he chose to risk the price hike is that the Opposition has previously said it would do the same thing...

they are also talking about putting in place legislation that would remove all branding from ciggy packaging in 2 year's time

(not sure how it would work in practical terms though - certainly no brand name or logo...but wonder if companies can still retain colours and such to distinguish one brand from the other....)

would be the first country in the world with such a measure.......

I suppose that ciggy cases could make a come-back. Some places already produce colourful (cardboard) cigarette packet 'condoms' that conceal all the wonderful photography emblazoned on packets these days. I'm not sure whether the new packaging would retain this hospital art or just be plain black and white with the company brand. I dare say the photography will remain.

details still hazy...but it was mentioned that no company logo/brand would be allowed

new legislation expected to be in place in 2 years I think the news report said....

If K Rudd had any 'cojones' (balls) he would BAN the import and production of tobacco products. Former US President Ronald Reagan said he wanted a smoke-free America by the year 2000.

According to Keep Australia Beautiful Council, cigarette butts are the greatest litter problem in Australia (by number discarded).

Smoking is already banned at many parks and sporting and entertainment events.

Probably shouldn't give him any ideas. Everything he touches turns to crap.
