Watch yourself Michael, I read somewhere you can get drunk if you don't cook kangaroo meat properly.........something to do with all the hops

How old do you think they are since kangaroo was killed.

SC

Don't know SC as it didn't state anything about that on the pack.

Mind you, I think if the meat was imported from Oz then cut into steaks and packaged in the EU, that would probably help to explain the odd looking 'Produced in Germany' signage.

A bit of a dilemma this morning we were going to head up to Edinburgh to take in a bit of the festival, but decided to try the merchant city festival in Glasgow. Glad we did cracking day lots to see and do, well worth a visit.

Population here in Oz should reach 25 million sometime today - we've been busy. Population was 11 million when we arrived in 1964.

Something in the water probably. JD.

Hughie you and Betty cruise a lot. How can a woman just fall off the back of a ship. Something smells fishy to me...

Hi Brian I was on that ship cruising the Greek Isles on the last week of July. I think it would be difficult just to just fall off the back of this ship. I suspect high jinx, I think the news said it happened around midnight, sounds like a last night party.

[brian f]

Yes, I think you are correct Meekan as the news filters through- Drink involved.
Hope you enjoyed the cruise, my turn one day hopefully .

Well we seemed to get through that wee holiday to Surfers with just a smart phone. Needed that wee break! I

Hughie, and all Aussies.

What the heck is going on over there?
I always thought that Australia was politically very stable.
What has your man Turnbull been up to?
As you will be aware, Australian news does not get many headlines back here.
I have picked up that the Liberal party think that he is too liberal.
Now liberal is a VERY broad church, and as I understand it, Liberal has as many definitions as there are Liberals. For example, Liberal here in NL is the equivalent of Tory in UK.
Would anybody over there like to give us some background on the situation.
I understand that there have now been six prime ministers in the last ten years.
What are you guys up to? It's beginning to make the Brexiteers at home look like Conservatives.

A curious JD.
