What do you know about Australia?

Post by NewcastleFalcon »

As a welcome to new members from Aussie Frogs to the FCF refuge a thread for a bit of Australian centric chat banter and nonsense.

Now Monty Python afficionados will see the wonderful "what are the chances of that happening :?: " in that the first Aussie Frogs member to reach the FCF life raft has a user name Bruce! (Bruce H to be precise)

Ps, I oppologise for any bad language in the video which is why it is not on FCF.

In 1918 the whole of Australia went into quarantine (around 5,000,000 population), to protect them against the Spanish 'Flu.

Hmmm - the EV video has French (masculine) spelling of “Australian” in the government logo - should we be getting all 1066 about who’s behind it, or is it just emphasising how “alien” Australia is? :)

(I had a casual job in London with BT briefly in the mid 80’s, and had a regular caller who couldn’t believe any Australian would actually claim to be called Bruce.)

I've got a large extended family in and around Brisbane, my brother emigrated on the £10 scheme in 1970 with his wife and six kids, all have married and had children/ grandchildren, the count now must be approaching a hundred. :)
