G’day Driver, g’day mates,
I have studied carefully the CoP and believe it is one of the most intelligent documents I have ever read. :) I took the test and scored Maaate! with a 27, although for question (2) I substituted “Those little fart machines made out of rubber that you blow up and slip on your mate’s chair.” Other than that, no worries. <O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:p
But, I pose a few questions for your careful consideration:
<O:p</O:p
</O:p
- Can a bloke live in America and still be a bloke if he has a shed and follows all the rules?
- Is there such a thing as an Honorary Bloke and how do you apply?
- Is Foster’s really “Australian for beer” or are the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com[IMG] /><st1:country-region w:st=[/IMG]merica</st1:country-region> and still be a bloke if he has a shed and follows all the rules?
- <font face=" /><st1:State w:st="on"><ST1:pNew York</st1:State> ad chaps having us on? (They are chaps, you know.)
- Is John Howard a bloke? (optional)
- My shed does not have a metal roof, is this a Code Violation?
- Flushed toilets here swirl in the opposite direction. Does this have any bearing on anything at all?
- If you asked the average American what a “stubby holder” was, would he know?
- Should he care?
- Is there an upper limit to the number of cock-ups allowed per WIP? My experience tells me the answer is no.
- It’s summer here and winter there. Who’s right?
With your permission I would like to share the CoP with some of my blokelier mates. It may inspire them to come up with their own CoP. But then again, probably not.
<O:p</O:p
I give the CoP four thumbs up!:D
G'day Bob. Here's a tip: carefully read the Code's section on Blokely terms (10.3). Nowhere will you see the word 'mates' used in the vocative case. 'Youse blokes', 'Gents', 'Girls' and 'Ladies' are the preferred terms. Apart from that: Welcome and goodonya.Quote:

Thank you, Driver. I am proud to be an American Bloke. (Oh, Wendy, how I long for you! Oops, sorry, that slipped in.) It's late here and the Blokely drinks have kicked in, so tomorrow is another day.
What bloody time is it there,, anyway?
10:30am if your in the eastern states....... not close enough to knock off time for my liking....
A couple of years ago, I won a prize at a Turnout for 'The most looses on one piece'.Quote:
Is there an upper limit to the number of cock-ups allowed per WIP?
I did finish it & it went on the 'Instant Gallery' table but bloody hell, I had to go & get it back from where ever it had landed lots of times.
Well, I'm going to bed. It's 9 PM here (Eastern Daylight Time). But . . . if it's 11 or so A.M., why aren't you all at work? And if you are, don't you have anything to do? And anyway, what DAY is it over there? Crikey! This Honorary Bloke thing is going to my head!!!
I think I'll go out to the shed for a spell. Leaning and staring.;) THEN I'll go to bed.
It's tomorrow here, and yesterday there. See? It's simple.Quote:
what DAY is it over there
BTW If you are going out to the shed, make sure you only lean and/or stare. Under no circumstances should you DO anything. You have been warned. ;)
Bob Australia has 3 time zones ( without counting Daylight saving times )
So here on the east coast it's 20 past , in the middle its 10 to and on the west coast its 20 past , ( In Tasmania its 1986 ):D
Hope this clears it up

LOL:cool:
My wife's American brother-in-law likes to use the word mate around me alot.
But he never quite uses it in the right context, however hard he tries.
I was glad to note that, in strict accordance with section 7, sections 5&6 were unfinished. However does this imply an unwritten rule that no project shall be undertaken in a logical sequence?
Notwithstanding you appear to have missed some important sections regarding "no reading any instruction manual" (although looking at the diagrams can be acceptable under some circumstances, likewise out-of-print workshop manuals purchased at garage sales. Being able to interpret the circuit diagrams of any pre-EFI car earns bonus points). Also failed to specify the minimum requisite number of leftovers from any project, suggest 2xnuts, 3 bolts or screws (which shall not be of the same size as the nuts) and at least one rubber/plastic seal, cap, or gasket. All to be stored in an old jar for a minimum period of 15 years after the original project item has been thrown away.
You need to ask?Quote:

I'm wondering if we've adequetly addressed safety in the Code?
For instance:
"Even though you think that you may as well finish off ripping those 10mm strips just after you've seen off a visitor to your shed, (who's obviously helped you partake of several code approved beverages) it's really not a good idea. "
What say the commitee?
Thank you. I may be a bloke, but I hope I'm not a stupid bloke.:D No blokely drinks until everything is disconnected from power. I still have all my fingers and toes.:eek:Quote:

Clear as mud. We have 4 time zones. Here in the east it's now 7:15, in the center 6:15, in the near west 5:15, in the far west 4:15, and in several states it is still 1886.:DQuote:

In Oz we can actually buy 'dress' thongs, ie balck and white.
My dad used to have leather thongs for good, informal wear.
Lends a new meaning to 'strop' :cool:
OK, that is easy....Quote:

Allow me to assist in our multi-cultural discourse and attempt to explain 'turkey slapping'
Turkey slaps are administered, in a state of friendly camaraderie, by a fella to his female companion. They consist of a light-hearted tap (usually on the cheek) by the male utilising his flaccid genitalia.
I'm not sure if this is a cultural enigma, particular to Oz?
In a recent episode of Big Brother, a contestant administered such TS to a female contestant. He was rusticated immediately, and narrowly escaped prosecution, for bad manners.
We suspect this was because the slap was to the right cheek of the female and everyone knows it should be to the left.
Spent a lot of time in Europe (Brits, Germans, Scandinavia). But . . . never yet been to OZ and it would be the pinnacle of my life's ambitions.:DQuote:

It is a Peter Lik (I think?) or maybe a Steve Parish photo.
I have seen the photo in a gallery & my Grandpa had a shed just like that one. The original photo didn't have the stars & the lightning.
When the one at my Grandpa's was brand new, it was the single men's quarters.
My dad learned how to make whips & other leather work there from the old-timers. (Dad is now 73 & my Grandpa would have been 100 in 3 months time if... )
I mixed molasses & urea to make a stock feed supplement on the back (right) veranda when I was a kid about 13 or 14. I never ever ever got to see what was inside that hut... it was a secret.
and thats only because some of you damm yankees still claim you-all won the war , and you know the war I'm talking about.:DQuote:
