You're at work an hour early LaRue? Nasty.

Sahib tried very hard to dissect your local vernacular - a mean feat to be sure. Lets refrain from providing glossaries when encouraging the expansion of his knowledge base. This exacerbates the situation and defeats the point.

LOL!

Yeah I misread the clock...

Well first - smoke break, when a person goes and have a cigarette. So instead of saying break they say having a smoke.

Smokeo - the O comes from the Australianization of the word. You'll find a lot of O's at the end of words in Australia.

You'll also find a lot of shortened words in Australia as well.

Sahib, I'm sure you know what a barbie is in Australia. (It's not a doll).

Makes me miss Australia, this on-going talk.

My company used to have offices in Sydney and Melbourne.

I'm not missing Australia just having a laugh.

I like Australia but I'm much happier here in the UK.

Do you like vegemite?

Yes. As odd as that is. Marmite isn't the same. We can get it here when the craving hits.

I'd like to visit Australia just to see the animals found nowhere else in the world.

You could technically say that about any country but I understand what you mean. The environment has created some interesting mammals. Lots of them are not overly friendly...

Australia is not that far away these days... I'd just recommend a least three weeks, preferably four. Have lots of money unless you don't mind staying in cheaper accommodation. It's not cheap in Australia in general for food, accommodation or anything for that matter...

Yes, the marsupials are particularly fascinating. Zoos all over the world have them, but seeing the animals in their natural environment is always the best!

You have to get out of the cities to see the wildlife.

I know! I'd like to do a safari type tour if I were to visit Australia or Africa.

Outback tour when you're talking about 'stralia.

Safari when it's Africa. Which is on my list to do as well.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

So Laura, what is the possibility of you doing either of those?

I'd need to get a passport before I could do either.

Well that's always a good step.... LOL!

I didn't get my first passport until I was 32. So I know the feeling. My first overseas trip was to Australia.

Maybe just get the passport and then go from there. Nothing wrong with having one.
