caddymanWhatever else is happening in the world, it is comforting that some things never change; they are eternal and dependable.
For a loud, brash and vital country, Australia remains oddly insecure where the UK is concerned and are far more bothered by us than we are by them. Especially in an age where the average British chav couldn't find Australia on a map and would probably spell it wrong if he did. Instead of trumpeting their own success at the Olympics where, Australia is proportionately out performing pretty much evryone (medals gained compared with poulation of country) they are, instead, whinging about the British team's success .
Next time anyone hears an Aussie grumbling about "Whinging Poms" it is incumbent on any and all Britons there present to laugh in their pasty little faces.
Meantime in America, it seems that the latest evidence supporting the existence of Bigfoot aka Saskwatch is another hoax. Didn't see that coming no, Sirree. What makes it even funnier is the fact that someone supposedly paid real money to acquire what turns out to be a rubber gorilla suit frozen in a block of ice.
I love the silly season.
