venere08: What is a didgeridoo? My dear sweetowen. It is a long instrument which one sucks and blows at the same time. Gee, this isn't coming out right Errr, it's an aboriginal musical instrument. Ask your Australian gentleman to buy you an aboriginal music CD. In the meantime, google it for some info on it.
It takes a lot of skill to learn to suck and blow at the same time. Ye gads, here I go again!
Marry me, right now. Just kiddin', but I do love them Australian accents.
Fallingman: Mateship is very important (whatever it is) I think it comes in under "other" in the poll.
Mateship? Well, one could write a term paper on the topic but suffice to Australia, just about everyone is a candidate to become a 'mate'. No, not THAT kind of mate . But the kind that will stick with you through thick and thin, and whether you like Bulgarian yoghurt or not!!! There is no discrimination.
And you REALLY know you are regarded as a 'mate', when one day, your name sounds strangely different...
For example, I would no longer be called 'venere', but rather, 'venners', 'sxc666', because of the 'triple' 6, would most likely be called 'trippers', and Darkhorseman, probably 'Darkie', or 'Darks'. Jimmy Barnes, the singer, becomes "Barnsie".
And you, Fallingman, would probalby be endearingly addressed as "Fallers', or 'Fallsy", even "Mano".
And once the name change has occurred, well, you can no longer ever do any wrong. Someone will always come to your rescue. After all, that's what mates are for!!!
I hope I have been able to shed some light on this topic.

And it wouldn't do to say you would like to give it a try, either. A real dilemma. Stick with google!!!
Mind you, it would help move things along a bit, maybe skip a few steps, or two, or three.....
It certainly would!!
Honestly, I asked him the other night how long his knife was. He chuckled & replied, "Well, I haven't gotten any complaints yet!"
