I never knew Mrs Mason Dixon was so prolific.....?

You could start an "other colonies" thread with Ian. You may even find a lonely South African somewhere to join the fun.

Call it the " Wanna Be Brits" thread. Then all the yanks can join in as well

You obviously don't realise that the term "Y*nk" is culturally offensive to all Americans born below the Mason Dixon Line?

Who in their right mind would wanna be a Brit?/

Colonists would be an idea, encompass the old British Empire, but too wide ranging.

Lotsa possibilities, hmmmmm...... guess that would include the USA too.

Start a new fred,

Subject: FW: LIFE IN AN AUSSIE MENTAL HOSPITAL !!!

A nurse walks into a room and sees a patient pretending he's driving a

Truck, with his hands at 10 to 2..

The nurse asks him, 'Kenny! What are you doing?' Kenny replies, 'Can't

Talk right now I'm driving to Melbourne !'

The nurse wishes him a good trip and leaves the room.

The next day the nurse enters Kenny's room just as he stops driving his

imaginary truck and she asks, 'Well Kenny, how was your trip?'

Kenny says, 'I'm exhausted, I just got into Melbourne and I need some rest.'

'That's great,' replied the nurse, 'I'm glad you had a safe trip.'

The nurse leaves Kenny's room and then goes across the hall into another

patients' room and finds Davo sitting on his bed masturbating vigorously.

Shocked, she shouts, 'Davo what are you doing ??'

To which Davo replies,

'Shhh, I'm shagging Kenny's wife while he's in Melbourne '

Dung hurling and sabotage in camel war

Camel ride operators in an Australian tourist town are taking a five-year turf war involving claims of theft, sabotage and dung-throwing to their states Supreme Court.

By Bonnie Malkin, Sydney

Published: 6:17PM BST 13 Aug 2010

The seeds of the camel wars were sown in 2006 when a new council policy banned operators from holding more than one licence One faces losing his licence while another has been accused of stealing camels and thousands of pounds worth of merchandise.

There have been criminal hearings and the companies, Red Sun Camels and Ships of the Desert, are locked in a civil case. Local police in the seaside resort of Broome, Western Australia have also been embroiled, after Chris Hill, the former owner of Ships of the Desert, filed a complaint over the way they dealt with accusations against him.

There are unconfirmed reports of glass scattered along camel trails, acid attacks, slashed car tyres and one operator throwing camel dung at another.

The seeds of the camel wars, as they have become known, were sown in 2006 when a new council policy banned operators from holding more than one licence.

The decision forced John Geappen, owner of Red Sun Camels, and Mr Hill, who then held the Ships of the Desert licence for Red Sun, to split the business in two.

For several months the now separate tours operated amiably side by side, even sharing a booking agent.

But as competition for the lucrative business grew, an argument led to Mr Hill walking away from the arrangement. Licences are estimated to earn operators more than 500,000 Australian dollars (£288,000) a year.

Mr Hill was later accused of stealing 19 camels from Mr Geappen in the middle of the night and damaging his property. He has denied all the charges.

Mr Geappen also filed a writ claiming that he in fact owned Ships of the Desert. He, meanwhile, has been warned by the council that he faces losing his licence for failing to stick to the correct camel routes. The civil dispute is due before the Perth Supreme Court later this year, while a separate criminal case, relating to allegations that Mr Hill stole 2,000 soft toys and damaged Mr Geappens property, is to be heard next year.

While the parties wait for their day in court, both companies are forced to coexist on a thin strip of sand and pass each other every day on the beach. Samantha Cousins, who now owns Ships of the Desert, said Mr Hill would be vigorously defending the charges against him.

It is a lot of childish rubbish and a waste of taxpayers money, she said. Mr Geappen has declined to comment.

Camels were introduced to Australia in the 1860s, brought from British India to help explorers and engineers open up the countrys dry interior. After the arrival of motor transport, most were released and established herds in the wilds, particularly of Western Australia.

I'm glad to see Broome described as a seaside town. To my ill-defined knowledge of Australia, I thought most of Western Australian towns could be described as being beside the sea.

Australian wine: a taste of cricket whites... and reds

Use the forthcoming Ashes series to visit the places where some sensational Australian wines are produced, says Robert Joseph.

By Robert Joseph

Published: 11:53AM BST 12 Aug 2010

If you like drinking wine half as much as you enjoy cricket, Australia is a brilliant place to follow a cricket tour. Australia's winemakers are second to none when it comes to welcoming visitors into their vineyards and cellars.

Where French vignerons generally presume that anyone crossing their threshold is a wine enthusiast on the lookout to buy a few bottles, the Aussies have learned that they are in the entertainment business. Most normal mortals are fascinated, or at least mildly intrigued, by their first encounter with rows of vines, barrels, wine presses and fermentation tanks, but by the time they see their third set of oak casks, the interest tends to wane. So the Aussies often propose rather more than a tour and a tasting.

There are art galleries, gardens and golf courses; cafés and cordon bleu restaurants; cottages and luxury suites. Wineries that don't offer food sometimes provide picnic areas and barbecue facilities for you to sort out your own lunches and some even have swings and slides for those too young to taste.

According to the Australian and New Zealand Wine Industry Directory, there are now more than 2,400 wineries in Australia, nearly four times more than in 1990. Of these, some 1,600 run some kind of cellar door at which visitors are welcome.

The biggest surprise for most people when they first set foot in Australia's wine regions is the variety of landscapes, wineries and wines. Shiraz may be the most widely planted grape variety, but it's only one of 134 different grapes that are now being grown. More than 50 wineries are now making wine from the tempranillo, for example, a grape variety most people have only ever encountered in Spanish wines such as rioja. If your experience of rich, flavour-packed Aussie wines has led you to imagine sun-baked vineyards where grapes ripen, head up to some of the cooler areas such as the Adelaide Hills in South Australia, Yarra and Mornington in Victoria, and the Margaret River in Western Australia, and you will find wines that are as subtle as many recent examples from the classic areas of Europe.

You won't often hear Australians talking about terroir – the term the French use to describe the link between where a wine is made and the way it tastes. Aussies prefer to call a spade a spade. But, across the country, winemakers are becoming obsessed with producing wines that reflect the flavours of their particular climates and soil. So, as the Test series moves from city to city, why not take some time out to explore the vineyards?

Adelaide

Barossa

Arguably Australia's most famous wine region, the Barossa looks the way the Aussie landscape is supposed to: broad, ochre-hued and punctuated by gum trees and green patches of vines. What sets it apart, however, is the influence of the German Lutheran settlers who founded towns such as Langmeil and Hoffnungsthal, and established culinary traditions that still survive today. Jacob's Creek, the geographical feature most people have heard of, is actually a very modest stream, but this is the spot where one of those immigrants, Johann Gramp, the founder of Orlando Wines, planted his vines in 1847. Today, it is worth the detour for the brilliant glass-walled Jacob's Creek Visitor Centre, which has won awards for its restaurant as well as for its architecture. This is a great place to learn about the history of the Barossa and winemaking in general.

Adelaide Hills

The German influence is also clear to the east of Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills, in towns such as Hahndorf and Lobethal. The cooler climate here is ideal for making new-wave, subtle chardonnays such as the ones made by Shaw + Smith, which offers a tutored tasting of five of its wines with a plate of local cheeses for A$14 (£8) per person. If you buy six bottles or more, you get your money back, but even if you don't, it's a good way to gain an understanding of the individual flavours. Nearby, Bird in Hand, the source of tremendous sauvignon blancs, also has an art gallery with regularly changing exhibitions of new and established artists.

McLaren Vale

Almost on the outskirts of Adelaide, to the south of the city and running to the coast, this is one of the best and easiest places to visit for a day or an afternoon. At many of the stone-built, 19th-century wineries here, food is almost as much of an attraction as the wine, thanks to the vibrant growing collection of small producers who gather to sell their wares at the weekly Willunga Farmers' Market.

At the Coriole winery, where the focus is on Italian-style wines, there are regional platters – including olives and olive oil from the estate, freshly baked bread and cheese – on offer. D'Arry's Verandah Restaurant at the d'Arenberg winery is another local favourite for Sunday lunch, with a tasting of d'Arenberg's reds and whites as well as its great port-like fortified efforts.

Clare Valley

Perhaps the most extraordinary region close to Adelaide, this quiet area 80 miles to the north was once the scene of a boom in copper and silver. Today, it's the place to find both crisp dry rieslings, associated with a cool climate, and rich, deeply flavoured reds that usually come from much hotter places. The secret lies in its 1,300ft altitude, and the beneficial effect on the riesling of the slate that lies beneath some of the soil. Tim Adams's winery is worth visiting for the chance to taste some of the best examples of the region's reds and whites, as is Pikes winery, which has a gallery packed with works by local artists.

Perth

There are vines close to Perth, but if you have the time, drive three hours south to Margaret River, as well known for its surfing beaches as for its Bordeaux-style reds and whites.

The big-name winery for tourists is Leeuwin, where there is a restaurant, art gallery and open-air stage used for an annual series of concerts that has featured artists such as Kiri Te Kanawa and Tom Jones. For a more intimate experience, head to Cullen Wines, where you can learn about biodynamic agriculture. Laid down by the philosopher Rudolf Steiner in the Twenties, Cullen follows biodynamic principles, including tending the vines according to the position of the planets, burying manure in a cow horn, mixing manure with "energised" water and herbs and applying it in homoeopathic doses to the vineyards. Sceptics should set doubts aside and acknowledge the extraordinary quality of the wine and the dishes in the restaurant, all of which are prepared from biodynamically farmed ingredients.

Melbourne

If you don't have the time to travel 150 miles north-east to Milawa in Ned Kelly and gold-rush country, where the Brown Brothers winery in Milawa welcomes 100,000 visitors every year, you could drive half that distance to the Nagambie lakes, where Tahbilk, one of Australia's oldest wineries, still produces shiraz from vines that were planted in 1860. The winery is named after tabilk-tabilk – Aboriginal for "place of many waterholes" – and it is located at the heart of a wetlands and wildlife reserve.

Yarra Valley

Closer to Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is one of Australia's top regions for pinot noir and chardonnay. The rolling hills here once reminded Swiss cattle farmers of their homeland, and today this is where Melburnians like to get away at weekends. The dairy tradition established by those European immigrants lives on in the shape of the cheese-maturation rooms to be found at the De Bortoli Estate and at the Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander Winery. De Bortoli regularly wins tourism awards for its wine tastings and restaurant, where you can compare pinot noirs from different parts of the valley. At Giant Steps/Innocent Bystander there's more pinot noir to be tasted, but there's also a bakery specialising in sourdough, a pizzeria, a coffee roaster and a microbrewery.

Mornington

Vines compete with holiday houses in this area on the coast, and the best wineries have developed a cult following. One of these, Ten Minutes by Tractor, owes its memorable name to the distance between the winery's three vineyards. You can drink the fruits of these different plots as well as some 400 other wines at the winery restaurant, a recent winner of Australia's Wine List of the Year award.

Sydney

The Hunter Valley, Australia's oldest major wine region, and still one of the best known, has actually shrunk in importance over the years. Today, its annual harvest is smaller than that of either the Barossa valley or McLaren Vale and is only a little above the figure for the Adelaide Hills. But this is still Australia's best region for wine tourism. Ninety minutes' drive from Sydney, you will find 120 wineries eager to show what they can do. You can rent a bicycle to get around the area or you can take to the skies in a hot-air balloon, a helicopter, a vintage plane, or even a fighter jet. You can visit award-winning gardens or play a round at the Greg Norman-designed Vintage golf course, before cracking open a bottle of Greg Norman Chardonnay.

There are several old wineries here, but Tyrrell's has a unique position in the region because of its role in promoting classic, unoaked Hunter Valley semilllon and pioneering chardonnay at a time when it was unknown in Australia. Visitors to the winery are given the chance to sample different examples of the grape and to discover the flavours its wines develop over time.

Knowing buggerall about wine myself, I would suggest visiting a brewery instead. Regrettably, there are no drinkable beers coming out of Australia, so you'd be out of luck. Just watch the cricket instead.

(Note to self: Is that why thesae damned colonials keep coming over and buying up our decent breweries? Hoping to learn the trade?)

Just been watching Collingwood destroy the Bombers.

And the Sharks mess up the Roosters season in the NRL.

Thank the Lord for Australia Network, and for Aussie sport, which takes precedence over the election.

(That does bore me - have no Australian politicians heard of the word 'policy'?)(It's all "Ya-boo - I thought of it first" "No you didn't" "Yes I did" .... )

Confused about who to vote for in the election ? Worried that no matter who you vote for you're going to get screwed ? Why not vote for these guys and be certain of getting screwed.

Please note that I said " ...drinkable beers coming out of Australia ...". My knowledge of Australia is limited to listening to some Welsh lassie who wants to be Prime Minister and an endless discussion on why the rules of footie should be changed.
