Maggers Wrote:Hey, Ken, thanks! I see so many new names here I figured no one would have noticed that I'd not been around. Thanks for missing me.
I've been having a great time with my life, and spending as much time as I could in Australia.
Hope to be back here a little more frequently.
Maggers it is lovely to read you again and wonderful that you and Liam have hit it off so well. So what's your favorite down-underism?

They have so many fascinating slang terms.
I got a kick out of hearing the terms they created in regard to Kangaroo's. For example, a group of 'Roo's isn't a herd, or a gaggle, or a flock, a pod, or anything like that -- a "group" of Kangaroo's is called a Mob, and the dominant male is called The Old Man.
Down to earth, and very descriptive.

"I mightn't have much in my pocket, but I wouldn't be dead for quids!!"
I found that phrase on a tombstone in little Blackheath, NSW. Sweet, eh wot?

They had such interesting headstones in that quaint, small town cemetery in Blackheath, NSW.

Here's another, typically Australian headstone. They say it as they see it, and damn respectability!

It is kind of pithy.

(Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with a beer and a smoke either.)
Thanks for those Maggers.
