For anyone interested in a red meat on the barbie only, beer swilling punch up watch the 1st State of origin rugby league game between Queensland and New South Wales on Wednesday - "no poofters allowed" as they say in Australia

They have a way with words the Aussies Peter. They even get away with calling Pakistanis by their abbreviated name, for some reason perceived as racist here, I'll never understand why.

I think it's just that they don't tolerate as much nonsense as the British

I guess this should be on another page but I can't resist it!! (see final paragraph if you can't be bovvered with the rest!!)
2012 Terrorist Threats Levels in Europe by John Cleese.
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Libya and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pi**ed Off" to "Let's get the Ba****ds." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be alright, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Peter' perhaps you should have said 1st game of the current series! I'll certainly be watching tonight's stoush

What a farce "try" awarded to Inglis at the end, he should be ashamed to have claimed it after the obvious fumble, and the ref's need a kicking too! Can't wait for the blues to have another crack at the Qlders 'at home'
- Peter Harris - 25-May-2012
Yes - Jerry - game on!!!

OK Guys -just a reminder - this Wednesday is the 2nd State of Origin Game - a few notable drop outs, however no handbags or scratching allowed (unlike Aussie Rules Football). I'll be monitoring from afar, I'll be on a plane to KL as the match is played
Go the Queenslanders!!
I have a block of 30 XXXX cans at home going to waste
- Peter Harris - 17-Jun-2012
Boo hoo. The cockroaches cheated their way to a draw in the series, still there's the decider coming up !!!!!
KL was wonderful, there is nothing quite like being in Asia eating wonderful chilli laden seafood washed down with Freezing Tiger or Anchor beer
