I looked up at the top earlier and I saw that it said woodworking Australia's. So does that mean everyone here is from Australia? Thats really cool! I am from America, Vermont, BTW.

The U.S. is the country that has the Internation House of Pancakes. Pancakes is perfectly acceptable and widely used in the U.S.Quote:

However, we have boots they have trunks, we have bonnets they have hoods, they root for thier team and we wouldn't think of it, they don't know what a fortnight is and we say tomatoes and they say tomatoes.
I have been to Vermont on numerous occassions, in fact almost daily at one stage on my way to MItcham :rolleyes: :p :D

But you are basically correct, apart from the yanks, poms, canuks, kiwis, and a few from Queensland we are all Aussies.
Oh and a couple from central Europe - sorry guys.
Oh yeah and SE Asia.
oh and ....
These pancakes/flapjacks, are they the thick ones like overgrown piklets or the thin ones that some people call crepes? I like the thin ones better.
I think you have it reversed John, Im the only sane one here., isnt that right guys? http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/...b/geno/3st.gifQuote:

I was pointed to this site by CJH in England, it's the tops, altho' UK Workshop and of course FWW are pretty good, nothing else comes close IMHO
We even have a Tasmanian or two. :) Not to mention the Kiwis! (I said not to mention the Kiwis!!!) :eek:
Come on Cliff, Sir Joh made sure that Queensland was the only part of the world still colored pink in the school kids atlas, about the same time he change the state symbol to the pumpkin scone. :DQuote:

You're walking on very sticky paper there Cliff :D
Well, on a global scale about 1 in 300 are Australian.Quote:
Is everyone from Australia?
I too lived in Queensland for awhile. Back in the days when it was still called Johreusalem. :eek: The buggers wouldn't stamp my visa to leave the place to move back to Adelaide, so I had to nick a fishing raft and claim refugee status. No problem as it turned out - rubber stamp job. :D Cripes, that was so long ago they still had street signs in English down on the Gold Coast. :p
I still get teary when I think of the way the border guards threw their arms around me and hugged me as I left the state. It was like escaping from behind the iron curtain, only in this case, it was the peanut curtain. :cool:
Are you banana benders annoyed enough yet? ;)
Richard
(to put the above in perspective - I lived in the southern suburbs of Brisbane. In ten months we were locked in by flood waters three times! The job I had was soul destroying. And it was very noticeable that while Joh was busy ignoring Brisbane and making it into a hell hole, the country regions were lovely places to live. There were a couple of places up along the coast I would happily have moved to. :) )
You knew what I meant, you are just to mean to say so...Of course I meant oily, greasy or slick, andyone could see that.Quote:

Another pom here (place is crawling with the buggers). I just live in this loony country. I'm sure the Aussie lot wouldn't turn away the odd septic from these forums.
Just beware of the digital drop bears.
I'm a real pom they tell me!!!!!
Still don't know if thats good or otherwise?
Anyway I'm a PSR9000 man dont expect the aussies will know what we are talking about!
I've connected my psr upto the PC and using Band in the Box I get a score up on screen plus an accompliment.
Any interest?
Quick fellas - psr attack imminnent - foilies on! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)Quote:
