Re: Watches
Steve the one thing I would add to trolley's answer is in regard to the second watch. In Aus this would be referred to as a sports watch due to the multiple functions available, viz stopwatch, countdown, multiple time zone, deep waterproof etc. As an aside this is the exact watch I had when I used t...

Re: Mouse
Ah Phil it came to pass that I was accepted into the Macaque family. The first time the female reached through the bars to touch my beard I nearly had a heart attack. But when I moved back she began fleaing me. This did not go down well with the Alpha male who really turned it on with a major displa...

Re: Negative
But definitely an American term. Aussies tend to use the old fashioned "no". Me? I might reply, "Does the word no have any meaning for you?" or "The word no springs to mind."

Re: Under a rock
Steve I think that is one of the most inventive sentences you have ever constructed. You are really getting a handle on this english language thing. Well done mate.

Re: Round thing hair
Rollers came in a large variety of sizes depending what effect was desired; from a gentle wave to a tight curl. They made great things to build toy forts with and knock over with marbles. My sister did lose it a bit when upon her return home she found that our pet cocker spaniel was in the process o...

Re: Mouse
One of my jobs when working my way through Uni was as "The Keeper of the Lab Rats." The Psychology Faculty had a very large mischief, I prefer a gnaw, of rats, both white and saddleback. I fed them, cleaned their boxes, recorded the births, counted the offspring and took baby rats into the library t...

Re: The new style Clubhouse and site
Phil would you please turn the new Clubhouse up the right way as I cannot stand on my head all the time. We Southlanders often need this consideration. Looks good, even upside down.

Re: On tap
Steve in Aus we widen the use of this idiom as in the following,
A. Where Are you going?
B. To the beach.
A. Why?
B. To see Mary. She's always on tap for the boys.
WoZ on tap for the girls

Re: Anzac Day
Trolley that is a shame. I can totally agree with your Father. It is terrific here to see the family heritage continued in families where a number of generations have been in the military. I think if they tried to stop it here then they would be ignored. Bob in your robes and medals who would dare a...
