    In the NE US, a growler is a jug of beer!

    And, happy me, I'm on my way to England! Going house hunting prior to my three year stint!

    I'm still looking for a TKD club near Derby...

    I'm guessing by "beer" you mean "lager" in which case men don't drink it anyway. :p

    All this talk of growlers and porking pies is making me feel randy. (English understanding) I hope she doesn't mind. (American understanding) :eek: :D :p

    "we just invented hot women, warm climates, great beaches and tough men"

    I've no disagreement about the hot women part but surely the warm climate and great beaches where nicked off the previous owners rather than actually invented by the Ozzies?

    Nicking things is the underlying reason behind many of the 'hot women' and 'tough men' of Australia being there in the first place! :D

    He's got a point...stands to reason that some people in Australia would be descended from the Wardens rather than the crims.
    Paul Hogan for a start.

    Looks like the pampered English soldiers couldnt stand the heat, had to wait for us continental types to make a real country out of it :p

    Whats the old joke, Why do English pub owners love to hire Australians? Because they are genetically predisposed to be behind bars :D

    Yeah, and we have serious prison overcrowding issues here. Australia is still nothing like full to capacity. I'm just saying.

    hey dr moose,

    over here lager is a specific type of beer.

    hey everyone,

    just learned from another thread what you call imperial measurement we call standard here.

    That's weird, because it's the same thing over here!

    Don't you just hate it when we turn out to have something in common? ;) :D

    All of those quotes are well known by us Aussies. Although our ancestors use to be Convicts from your country anyway. Instead of sending them to jail, you sent them to Paradise.
