Beanb41 Posted August 6, 2014 #101 Share Posted August 6, 2014 But if there's no Corks what do I do about the blowies? I was always under the impression that "there were no flies on Australians" so why the need of a floppy hat and corks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because of the corks that there's no flies on Aussies, well our faces anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop-JohnB Posted August 6, 2014 #106 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks for that, I was aware of the folklore but for some reason thought he was Canadian. I have learnt something new again.:D Paul Bunyan was definitely American... You can find statues of him in many upstate locations (and Blu his bull) around the Great Lakes. Perhaps you are thinking of a similar Canadian character (also based on a real person) known as Big Joe "Mufferaw"... http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Joe_Mufferaw A larger than life legend who was made famous in Stompin Tom's song of the same name http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Joe_Mufferaw_(song) Hope this helps, Cheers! Ps... Johnny Appleseed was also a real person... But again an American Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodyren Posted August 6, 2014 #108 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) I don't care where they came from. What I want to know is what did Paul, Johnny and Big Joe wear on formal night. Surely a couple of those Zeniths have dined with them. Edited August 6, 2014 by woodyren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmum Posted August 7, 2014 #121 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Okay - I'll admit it... I've 'lurked' on this thread right from the beginning. Have to say I was sorely tempted to respond to the OP with a pithy comment but thought 'nah' leave it to the Aussies, their sense of humour will sort out what seems like (unintentionally I'm sure) a condescending and arrogant question. We truly are divided by a common language! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsmum Posted August 7, 2014 #123 Share Posted August 7, 2014 C'mon!! I'm a Neighbours addict so well up with the lingo!! Our son who lives in Oz despairs of me as I insist on watching it even when we're there. He makes sure no one visits him while I'm watching it - he says he couldn't live with the shame if anyone found out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
