Yeah much appreciated @jeo for sharing the experience with us, especially those of us who are 7,500 miles away!

RD, you have proven my point! I knew you could do it. Panache to burn.

Yes indeed, the companions drive me up the wall just as much! The NZ accent is certainly interesting. Aussies get a laugh out of trying to get them to say six. It always comes out as sex. "Would you like five?" "No, I want sex." Childish, but fun. I'm not up on their slang, but I know they call...

My pet hate is "If I had of . . ." instead of "if I had've . . ." when people write. The Australian accent is well known for having lost any trace of the rhotic 'r' sound way back in the Colonial past, but I wasn't aware just how pronounced our accents sound until my first trip to the States...

Happy Easter!

Good to hear from both of you!

A very valid point HJ. The tusks weren't just there for the fun of it, they clearly served a purpose for the animal. Imagine the boffins spending ludicrous billions of dollars to "breed" and release tuskless mammoths into the wild only for them to be dead three months later because they had no...

One of the most deceitful falsehoods pushed by certain agenda-driven groups. Even with only my year 12-level science education, I can work out that cows don't magically produce methane out of nothing. The carbon dioxide is absorbed into the grass they eat via photosynthesis, so it starts off in...

A+ on every level.

@Nacho: To quote from a classic Aussie movie called The Castle, "Tell 'm he's dreaming!"

@Todd Allen (if he's still around) the FL began as a place for people interested in vintage topics associated with the Golden Era, mostly the 40s-mid 50s though going into times peripheral to that also. People joined to discuss their passion and knowledge about old movies, hats, WWII history...

Some creeps think the FL is just here for their convenience. Like a free quote with your coffee and donut, sir? A free evaluation on your "grandfather's heirloom" perhaps? This gives me the sh*ts.

I wouldn't believe anything the mainstream media puts out anymore. They're nothing more than government shills pushing whatever agenda they're paid to. About a year and half ago here in Sydney, after all the coronavirus shenanigans when public trust in the government and the media was at an...

Greetings from Liverpool Australia to Liverpool England! Looks to me like you couldn't do better with either the fit or the look of that B3. Possibly the best I've ever seen (IMO).

Agreed. We need to see tusks.
