I saw the movie many moons ago, and reckon it was well done. Danny Kaye was perfect for the part.
I know there are a lot of wannabees out there, but just can't understand why they do it :-? We had a recent case of a guy down here who attended every Anzac day march sporting a chestful of tin ...

Harry is right there Baz. If your daughter does come to Oz, you could do worse than pop over here for a while. Having been around a bit, I would recommend Qld, WA, or northern NSW coastal areas. I have been here over 36 years and never went back to the UK in that time. Shingle beaches and lousy ...

Sorry barry! I didn't know that budgies dont sing in the upper 'emisphere!
Down here, not only can they sing, they can also dance, do human impersonations, and backstage, after the show they slip into gins, (which are all pink, after all Harry!) cook a barbie, then finish the day by helping the ...

Mike, my fellow inmate, you really have been locked away for a long time!
Ulu is a jungled area, usually in Malaya/Malaysia, but used in various east Asian countries. So an Ulu basher was a jungle basher. Bondu boots were worn in the Middle East, e.g. Persian Gulf, Aden, and North Africa. Also known ...

Nice to see you over here doc.
There are a few ulu bashers on here, also bondu booted boof'eads, popeyes, and of course, lotsa crabs to rubbish. I wont mention the bootnecks, as they can get a bit stroppy if their medicine, (and mini-skirted nurse), aren't administered on time.
