Hope none of you were affected by the hurricane.

If you were I hope not drastically. Good luck!

Troubled Mind has a post going that gives good details. He called it a "hurricane". We don't have them in Australia. We have cyclones. I think the reason is that the wind blows in the opposite direction. Cyclones blow clock-wise.

Troubled Mind's ignorance has caused his post to be branded as "scandal".

Best wishes to you Mexicans....Naah...I'm way out of the action. My mate John headed off from his cattle station at Richmond late last night with his big chainsaw and a generator to his house in Townsville. But at mid-morning his missus was out doing some gardening. He'll probably head north to give a bit of a hand. John loves cyclones...they bring him rain on his property.

Scandal, lol

My mother was an old Swede she called hurricanes, cyclones, what a gossip she was. Never heard of a Tsaumi except on the asian side of the world, they were title waves; wow! how the world is educated now.

No matter what a disaster is named it stills brings trouble.

Well give ole Troubled - Mind my best

This is dry humor, I've lost a lot of friends due to it.LOL.Joke, Joke.

Rekless.. if you have a dry, droll, sense of humour you are an honoury Australian.

I refuse to use LOL etc. If folk can't pick up on it that is their problem. But, gee, I've replied to heaps of PMs apologising to folk who I've upset.

In Australia, "you old bastard" is a term of affection. (Except for Uncle Bruce).

I met an Aussie in Las Vegas, he was an old bastard, I leant him $120.00, never got it back, he still is.
