"Double Pluggers" worn by Dinkum Aussies

The quintessential thongs, two plugs though the sole on each side. Can be worn for any occasion, weddings, 5 o-clock tea, the races, legging it, court appearances.

If you blow out a plug you've still got a second to get you through the footy, cricket, pub crawl.

Sold exclusively at K-mart, Target, Lowes and local pharmacies....also standard prison issue foot ware

Are the flip flop flops all Aussies then? I had suspected it from the start...

Haha well you could pop a wee drop in there for emergency but you may compromise the whole infrastructure of the thong, risky business

The double plug, the strap at the back plugs through the sole with two plugs rather than one, as worn by such legends as Merv Hughes, David Boon and Shane Warne, think he's gone to the other side though now, Prada single plug..(shudders)

apologies for off topic.

I am impressed smokie. You have managed to turn what was a perfectly normal, insane thread, into a crazy one.

And I have forgotten what we were voting for now. Just in case it was Eurovision, I will go with la Norvege, nil points.

Aussies call them the Thong brigade.

You made me think of the charge of the light brigade for a moment there.....the image it conjured up was unpleasant to say the least...think XXXX.

Flip flops = thongs.

When I first went to OZ I told the folks that they could have a 'dress casual day' on Fridays. When one bloke asked me if they could wear thongs , I suggested "only if he wanted to get a new job". He then explained

where is the option that most dont have morals gainst thier fellow expats

for people who need to look up the word on samui - Morals -

1. Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character: moral scrutiny; a moral quandary.

Normally us bad forang have baldness aswell as badness and laods of tattoos saying i love england. I wonder where those boys and girls are from.

As for expats we do bring a good roast dinner to the Island.
