Answer from "Down-under"

[Kiwi Phil]

Don't wish to hi-jack my other thread, so will answer a few of you here<br /><br />QC - only if the cricket's on.......which it is....every year. <br />Here is one for you QC. My youngest sings a Xmas Carol about Santa and his "6 White Boomers" (down here Santa dosn't use Reindeer, instead 6 big white Kangaroos, called Boomers). <br />A guy by the name of Rolf Harris wrote and sang a neat song about them. Far better than all those other crapxy carols that are realeased each Xmas (jeeez if Sir Cliff Richards does another this year I will............)<br />Anyway Rolf is the same guy that has just painted an official portrait of the Queen, get this, "with a smile on her dial". Looks brilliant. Takes an Aussie Artist. Queen seems perfectly happy with it too.<br />Love the Xmas card RPJS. Very good. When you get here you won't know the Okker team. We lynched a few of the bumms.<br />Cheers<br />Phillip

Cheers Phillip.<br /><br />My other little comment was about something I read (can't find) about rules in Oz for Santas. Stuff like: must keep both hands visible at all times, no lollipops, parents must be asked before a kid goes on the knee etc.<br /><br />I may be in Oz when you guys all decide to go back to work. That's why I was checking. Probably not as far north as you, but I might be in Aldo's neighborhood . . .

Are you not just the clever one Ray....<br />And here some were thinking otherwise of you.<br />That is very good indeed.<br /><br />Many years back, some Okker got caught selling Kangaroo Meat mixed in with beef, (probably in to the American market - probably a lot healthier than beef too), following which some Kiwi changed the words from the song you quoted to read<br />"tie me stake to the plate mate. <br />tie me steak to the plate.....etc <br /><br />Cheers<br />Phillip
