Sorry Ian, I don't understand.

Well, I hope he doesn't try and explain, or else we will experience another Canadian Dunkirk, or should I say Dunkerque?

Dunkirk is correct.

It's a hybrid between a dunny and a church.

Pull the chain and a bell rings.

A poor person has used a banner as part of their house, to keep the rain out.

I've seen biscuit tins flattened out to make rooves, and all sorts of "junk" recycled to create a dwelling.

What has a dwelling in Thailand got to do with Aussies in Bedlam?

Sorry, Harky, but you've got it arse-back'ards.

This is the recruiting centre in Thailand for Australian University lecturers. Subjects such as reeding 'n' riiting will be optional, but elephant training is a mandatory subject. (Bring your own ele-whatsit)

Humphrey got it. It's where the Aussies here go to get their education. Just poking a little fun at the guys here. Just my weird sense of humour.

Hmmmmph!!

Just wondering where the Canadians get there education? Particularly as the Bear's post went phizzing around the OP's ears without any realisation to its proper meaning.

Like the USA, Canada has a pretty wide cross section of education. It's hard to pick any one group that would typify what makes up a Canadian. In my case I was formally educated at UBC (university of BC), but got my real education in the school of hard knocks. It's like trying to compare some guy from Sydney Australia to some bloke who lives and works on some sheep station in the barren land of Western Australia.

Phizz, phizz

Phizz, phizz

And this means what? I guess I'm just not up to speed on your comments. If you want to be negative then just say so. I can play those games also.

...I like Aussies.

Ian, I may have phrased the comment too loosely, but please go back and re-read.

I am sure you will then see what Mossy is making these strange mosquito-ish sounds about (is that good English??)(maybe I need to get back to UK after 35 years of ex-patriotism)

What I don't understand is the elephant training bit. How are they going to hold their pens and pencils without opposable thumbs?

Sometimes my attempt at humour falls flat. I see most things from a different viewpoint... outside the box, as it were. I wasn't taking a piss at the Aussies. I was just clowning around. I have many Australian and KIwi friends. They are somewhat like Canadians who enjoy good naturedly teasing each other. People Aussies don't like they just ignore... or go for a punch up if everyone is pissed. I saw the Australian Education sign and thought it was funny. I didn't mean to include the Thai translation in the sign.

As an Aussie, I got Ian's little joke about our possible standards of education right from the beginning. He found a pic of a little bush hut festooned with a banner saying "Education Australia", and thought it would be a good sledge.

Apparently many of the poms here thought it would be a good oportunity to have a go at papa, because of disagreements with other things he says and shows on the forum.

A storm in a teacup.

Some poms just don't know when to declare, even when they are a South African Pom.

I think they are hunky.

But what they do to the rest of the world should be watched.

They may take over... in their school uniforms,

Signed Patsy the one who lives in a building with a working brothel on the third floor, and never sussed nothing.

Okay Ian, fair enuf, about as funny as a house full of burning babies .....now please tell us where you are located so a couple of me and me ozzzzzzie cusins can cum and kick the living <deleted> out of you.

Truely tho, one of the schools I attended as a lad was partly burnt down (actually the main building with about 50% of the classrooms in it). Anyway, all the powers to be raced around and managed to knock up demountable buildings, converted sheds & so forth and your picture actually reminds me of that set, way back then. Ahhh, they were the days & me edjercachion didernt suffa nun eitha.

And sum of us ozzies luv ya 2 eek

Well, the Afrikaners would never admit that the 'salt dicks' were real South Africans, 'cos they had one foot in England and one in SA. Thus the soubriquet. Now they return to the land of their forefathers and the Aussies start whingeing. Can't please anyone, can we?

(Doesn't explain a guy with the name 'Pieterson' though, does it?)

(But he's a Kevin, so there must be some good in him, somewhere)

All this over a score line of 1 / 500+.

Wait 'til Adelaide!

And think what the Barmy Army is doing for your beer sales - Castlemaine made their year's profit last weekend.

I left school, went into an architects offoce, did military service, took a degree in civil engineering and eventually joined one of the large British contractors.

One of my tasks was to put modular classrooms into school playgrounds to accomodate the post-war baby boomers, who were around 12 to 15. I went into one of the completed classrooms to get a signature from the headmaster and saw the next lesson written on the blackboard. So in my estimation the next class would be eleven-year-olds.

Got my signature, was just walking out the door when the kids came in. Almost every one was taller than I, and I am/was 6"1' and 12 1/2 stone (ahhh, how the old measures sound so good!).

How the education standards had changed in just ten years in UK.

That's okay, but you better bring LOTS of ozzzzzie cusins because this old "Papa" still has a few good rounds in him. Remember that I DO molest bears as a form of sport. :lol:

I'm kinda like the Aussie bushmen who play with salties for fun. My older sister used to introduce me to her New York friends as the original Crocodile Dundee.

^no wukkas brutha.........i fink u n i can just go 1on1 ova a couple of coldies, ur turn 2 shout......id even break my drought of several years for that.....then we can punch on

I'd gladly shout for a few rounds. We'd probably have so many laughs we'd forget the punchup. Name your favorite establishment and I'll meet you there.

How bout, Newport Arms.

How bout, Newport Arms.

Sure, but the Newport Arms where? London, England, or Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver in Canada, or Christchurch New Zealand, or Sydney Australia, or somewhere in Thailand? Right now I'm in Chiang Mai. I'm not sure if there is a Newport Arms in Chiang Mai.

My guess is none of them would beat the one thats in Sydney. I was thinking about coming to CM early in the new year, I will sing out, if I do.
