Remember, these are Aussies. They don't take themselves quite as seriously as some of the rest of us do.

Code, she's originally a Kiwi (New Zealand, for those who aren't familiar with the term). But, it's an insult to confuse a Kiwi with an Aussie.

And, my Wife didn't tell me that at all - just my personal observation.

2 Irish pilots landed at Manchester UK for the first time.

After a fairly hairy landing they looked at each other and Paddy finally said, Geesh....what a short runway....
Seamus said.....Yeah, but look how wide it is !!!!

Cheers Jack....
Been absent for a while (Sold the KR last year as servicing etc much too awkward here in mid Wales).
Always keep an eye on the KR and discussion forums but don't post often since at my advanced age I am usually a bit too outspoken and often end up offending people, especially with my inclination to correct spelling and grammar !!

In fact I think my last post on the KR forum was modulated.....so I expect it was that wretch Brad !!

Yea, I guess history would say the UK shipped the good ones to NZ and the "troubled ones" to Australia.
