HOLY CRAP! MAGGERS! You live! Great to hear you're doing well. Several of the Forums Old Heads such as yourself have been missing for quite some time. Good to see you!

BTW Which book was this you speak of?

Why, thanks, Legion! It's nice to be missed. :hello:

Harbingers.

Ahh, some things never change. We can always count on Ken to know the answer to just about any RJ question. :thumbsup:

Hell, I've forgotten more than most of these whippersnappers will ever know!

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?

Now THAT would be interesting.

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!

In the movie Crocodile Dundee that was changed to, "I wouldn't be dead for dollars."

It is kind of pithy.

Eighty five years old . . . that ship took a long time going down.

A beer and a smoke aside, there's nothing disrespectful about being called "an honest bloke."

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

Thanks for those Maggers.
