Is it ok to be Australian on this site?

I often listen to Radio Melbourne or Radio Sport 927. Used to tune in to listen to the Melbourne Cup but now I do it sometimes so I can pretend to myself that I’m in Australia. I like the talk about precipitation and adverts for Peter the Possum man.

Wow EllanVannin! I know it well. DD is in Curl Curl. There’s a confirmed case in DeeWhy

One person with COVID caught a plane from Sydney to Queensland. I wonder if travellers were wearing masks?
It only takes one.

Near Dee Why.

Marmight, my D and family are also on the Northern Beaches.

DD and her family live on the Northern Beaches, NSW where there have been a number of confirmed cases. SiL was in an Uber with a contact so is being tested today. All a bit worrying. They’re on lockdown now for 3 days which doesn’t sound long

Oh dear, worrying.
The number of cases is few but they have travelled, one on a plane to Queensland apparently.

Not good news:

Throw a phish on the barbie
Callistemon It's "Chish" as in "Chish and Fips" a Spoonerism if you know what I mean!
Useful for disguising naughty remarks.
Actually we are more sophisticated than you can imagine; there has been panic buying of lobsters!

Not every Aussie has Christmas on the beach
jaylucy Welcome! Unfortunately you're spot on this year as far as Queenslanders and NSW residents are concerned because they haven't any beaches left after recent storms and torrential rain washed them out to sea!
Rest assured that can't happen in Victoria!

I still have a slight Aussie twang when I’m cross as in ‘go bite ya bum’. But also sometimes a bit of scouse

You poor thing! That must be painful!

I thought she was a dinky die Australian. Oh well no worries cobber.
Never did like kangaroo steaks anyway and barbies in December how jolly uncivilised what.

jaylucy fair dinkum!

Strewth!

I lived in Victoria for a few years !
Sorry to break the bubble, but not every Aussie has Christmas on the beach , especially when a fairly large chunk of the population lives inland !

Leave Michael P alone, Rufus
He's a gem

A brightly coloured one

Fanny C. You're on a safe bet, but if you do have to eat, let me know "cos I've got the perfect sauce to enhance the flavour/taste of cork and cardboard. It's 6months past its use-by date which adds a certain something......out of this world!

Another born and bred Aussie here Ehlana. Welcome to Gransnet.

Ps do you have any beige chinos?
tchgrin
(I have btw)
Callistemon No!. Why? Are you selling/upsizing?
Being the eldest of 3 siblings there was no chance of wearing hand-me-downs; blue is my colour, but no jeans please.
Completely unsuitable for any gentleman, and lady come to that, over 40.
Or are you ditching the drab beige look in favour of a return to the hot-pants era or even a Michael P. look-alike?
Good Health

^Who’s Rufus?^
Toad it Hole Me! Sorry to have kept you! Thanks for asking!
A Grandad, a rare sighting these days around these parts.

Not long ago we established that Yorkshire Pud. was Toad in the Hole minus the sausage.
So now we can assume that you are Yorkshire Pud with a sausage which has been a convoluted way of saying that you are a Grandad. True or False?
It's just that I have a subliminal image based on your nickname.!
I'm a resident of Melbourne,. hence my interest in this thread. You can ask me anything!
OoRoo

No. She is a woman

Welcome, I used to live in Darwin, and have relatives in Port Douglas and Brisbane. I enjoy Rufus's postings.
