  Raised an orphan joey (kangaroo) once. Called it Rhubarb. Bad choice of name. It got killed in a barb wire fence.

  Had a beautiful Australian bluey cattle dog called Wombat. Man..he was the best friend you could ask for.

  dozy seems to be okay with the un deal.

  i've got some relatively simple questions that i would like answered from the bible, by dozy!

  if dozy has enough faith to do it.. i would like to see one verse from the bible that actually says jesus & michael the archangel are one and the same.

  Hey Gumby... Imagine if Revelation was kept out of the canon...

  Wouldn't Christianity have been a much less confrontional faith?

  I reckon that Paul was a lobbyist for the hat and scarf manufacturers.

  Jesus is a historical person and, in my mind, a very holy man. Gee, he's been stuffed up by lots of people jumping on his band wagon and pushing their own rubbish.

  Most irritating adverts

  what were some of the most irritating advertisements you came across on tv, radio, internet, newspapers, magazines etc .

  i remember how margarine adverts called them good for the heart because they contained no cholesterol or saturated fats but they were loaded with trans fats that are indeed bad for the heart.

  now good quality margarines dont have any but in the past they contained 20-40% trans fats.

  Frog..I spent 5 weeks in Calcutta with my 88 yo mother 18 months ago. We met a beautiful couple from California who came to stay with us recently. They thought that all the parrots I was talking about (galahs, cockatoos, lorikeets etc) were in cages. These are all wild birds. They had the lorikeets jumping all over them.

  I've got to shut the door at night to keep the possums out. They couldn't believe that we don't have a house key. Lived here for 14 years and never been able to lock the house. The CBD is about half an hour away.

  Back to the point. Now that I am now the official Ambassador, there is room here for visitors so long as you can prove that you are an interesting person.

  Yeah Greendawn...The whole problem is caused by the Pacific Ocean. It takes up half the planet if you turn the globe in the right position.

  What we need is Postates in Fiji or Hawaai (or however you spell it).

  Didn't the WTS go there?

  Like Frog, I am tired of seeing my name in print.. To solve this problem we need either to get rid of the Pacific Ocean or find an equivalent of unclebruce in Haiwaii.

  I suggest a collection to send him there...

  May as well be Frog. I've got a couple of spare bedrooms, don't work and Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo is about 40 minutes drive away. I took some visitors up there a few weeks ago and they were given a wave by the man himself as he cruised past on a bike. They were stoked.

  I've got a few visitors booked in for this year already. I only accept folk who are interesting.

  Scout...Please understand that I am not a Christian but I love much of what Jesus taught.

  The Book of Revelation is comparable to Nostrodamius's writings. I don't think that it is fair to attribute those words to Jesus. Obviously many do but I can't imagine those words coming out of Jesus' mouth.

  All Australian were asking the same thing when they first heard it. It was thought up by a bunch of suits in an advertising agency trying to be cute.

  Firstly, here a shrimp is a very, very small prawn. Size of a fingernail. What Americans call "shrimp" we call prawns.

  Also I can't recall actually ever seeing anyone here barbequeing (barbie) prawns. I suppose some folk do.

  If we are having a get-together we just buy a kilo of them already cooked and wash them down with good wine or beer.

  Tourists are always made to feel very welcome in Australia, especially if they get out of the big cities. And it really is a beautiful place with lots to see. But the advertising makes we locals cringe.
