Phil Perry Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Runaway WALLABY is spotted in Cornwall for the fourth time after being on the run for two months It probably heard about Rolf Harris being released from Jail. . . .
Marty_d Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Bloody hell, they make the news over there? On most winter nights I have to slow to about 40 up our road to avoid a dozen or so of the silly buggers. But wallabies should be safe from Rolf Harris... it was kangaroos he tied down (among other things).

I didn't know that there were so many of them around in the UK ! . . . .
Marty_d Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Well, they're kind of like rabbits. You get a boy wallaby and a girl wallaby, and before long...
pmccarthy Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 It said it was near Launceston so Marty might have seen it. But they leave the cess out of launceston over there, so the wallaby is probably confused. It hasn't heard of Launston.
Marty_d Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Wrong end of the state PM. Even though Launceston is only 200km away, us Hobartians rarely travel there... You can always pick an interstate visitor though, they're the ones pronouncing it "Lawn-ceston".

nomadpete Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 There's no "stun" in Tasmania' s Lawn cess ton. Nothing stunning there at all, Locals are apparently incapable of coping with polysyllabic words, it took me a long time to realise that "Lonnie" wasn't somebody's girlfriend. No cess. No stun.

Phil Perry Posted August 1, 2017 Author Posted August 1, 2017 When I first arrived in theUK I sheepishly admit I couldn't find Lester Square Oh, don't worry about that mate,. . .even the locals have problems with Like ester. . .even in Like ester city itseff,. . . . although, to be fair, it is predominantly populated mainly by Hindu Indians. . . great food and no choppy choppy. . .Luv Lester ( the one in Lestershyre that iz . . . ) NICE little airport just outside the City to the East, tarmac runways, great cafe, good bunch of Gals 'N' guys, I landed there for a break not long back, ferrying a mate's plane from the East coast. . .the guy on the Air/Ground wireless said, "you better hurry and book in, we're closing in 5 minutes. . . " .so I rushed my tie down and signed in right on the dot and got handed the bill. . .they said if I'd been later, they couldn't have charged me anything as it was outside licencing hours. . . £12 landing fee . . . . the Cynical capitalist barstards. . . I couldn't point out where that Nightingale sang in Lahndon, regrettably. . .sorry. . .
pmccarthy Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 There's a character called Chumley on the show Pawnstars. He is an American boofhead. But I have wondered whether his real name is Cholmondeley.

But I have wondered whether his real name is Cholmondeley. Don't think I've ever seen the show,. . .but you could be right I guess, that was an old upper class family name in England. I've got a mate named Micky Cadwallader. . . .that stands out here amongst the Smiths and Jones . . .
