English.

I had the unfair advantage of talking to a lot of people from other coutries though, so I was already familiar with such words. God bless the internet.

Well, some of it.

The usage in the article threw me for a loop. But cool story.

She's several thousand miles away from Dutch. Just down the road from me, though.*

Dang, Dutch went full-fledged Aussie on us for a bit there.

Cool article. Talk about applying your trade.

That awful thief made a poor old man fall down the stairs!

That's so sad!

I didn't know that Australia was big enough to support several thousand miles, as my general reference of size comes from Risk

Fully fledged Aussie?

Um...I've been posting like that pretty much since I got here...

And what's a heffa? And why is it close to Joel?

And therefore twenty years behind me?

(Joel will probably get it, don't worry)

Cheers.

That was just the first time where I really couldn't understand what you were saying. My own fault for not being more... worldly? Yeah, worldly.

Man, I was hoping to hear that Dutch flying body tackled a bike thief or something... oh well, just as good.

"I only had my dressing gown on, I thought, if I get in a fight I'll lose my dressing gown and end up starkers in the back yard. I didn't want to do that so I got out of his way."

7,682,300 square kilometres, in fact, most of which is pitiless desert that killed our most famous explorers and is now crossed on a regular basis by families with whining kids in four wheel drives. Would the explorers feel better knowing this? Unlikely.

Size comparions if people are interested. England fits in a tiny corner of Western Australia and the USA... Well, seems about the same size on average.

Nope.

holy keee-ripes, had no idea it was that big

.... that's what she said....

Dutch! · Post by **Dutch!** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 7:13 pm

Heh...it's only big cos you lot live in pissy little countries...

I think we have an average of two people per square kilometre...

I think there's only one country with a lower population density than us, but I can't remember which one it is.

Also, we have cool cartoonists who catch bike thieves.
