Next time you use the laundry scoop...don't forget the black sock under your bed, mate. lol

And have you got "tin frish iggs" in the fridge, by any chance ;)

I didn't realise that we Aussies weren't the only ones to tease the Kiwis about their accent.:D They also like fush and chups. And they buy stamps at the dairy.

Oh no - I'm gonna get it now.:eek: I'd better duck for cover. But seriously, we do love our Kiwi neighbours.

Having picked on our Kiwi friends, I'd better contribute a photo to this thread.

Huh? We don't have an accent :eek: The one that always cracks me up is Aussies with "ch-anne-ce" instead of chance!

I just naturally go to the room now, it is easier than listening to the encoded talking between the wife and her friends.
No need for a couch. People will think it is alright to come in and sit down. I have a "easy chair" and T.V.

Very minimalist. I don't see the PC (or is that white too?)

You have a Gatorade antimacassar. Can I have one?

I think it's made in Florida, isn't it?

It is a towel from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football (American) team and yes you too can have one. No frillies in the "Dog House". Yes Gatorade is made in FL and other places as it is produced by Coke Cola Co.

No need to speak slowly to me Colin, I'm not a Queenslander:eek: I'd better watch out - they'll come after me too! Especially if they find out which city I live in. And they will once I start posting the PAD.

And saying 'charnce' instead of 'chance' is too posh for us on this side of the Tasman. Hey - do you wear jandals?

I got sick of squeezing into a cupboard in the back room so I just moved into the nice comfortable lounge room. Provide you can put up with the occasional comment such as "Gee your lounge room looks a bit like an office" (which is water off a duck's back for me) it works a treat.

I note a thread running through these picture - photography, computers and alcohol - to which I add - music and camels.

This is my corner. It sits in a downstairs room and the only real estate that has not been snapped up by the offspring and their detritus.

Now I started by trying to do the b/w classy look like Donald but realised on closed examination my study of form and curves may be misconstrued.

So I got to thinking about the other work areas on display and came to the conclusion that I was missing something. Most of the images contain a display of cultured reading material artfully arranged with casual abandon. I can do that and it will make me appear well read and posh! So I thought about a Wine book...no don't drink, Food...no, Jamie Oliver makes my flesh crawl, Photography books...can't make head nor tail of 'em, Thesaurus ...no pictures. So I settled on one of my 'art' periodicals. There, you could almost mistake me for a Guardian reader.

And what is wrong with that? :)

All that jungle stuff - I think you have been watching too many re-runs of Apocalypse Now. Is your name Kurtz, by any chance?
