I agree. However, if I mouse over the URL field in my browser (I'm using Firefox), the block quote pops up and is readable, around the % that separate clauses.
" Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level."
Oddly not on the escalation list for Australia is "Let's play football!" Which is their way of declaring war, I understand. I played Aussie rules football once as a young man. Still have scars and flashbacks.
Scot vs Aussie. Hmm. Well, Scots have better scotch. (in the shutdown, I did something I have never in my life done before- bought several bottles of singlemalt as insurance against a zombie apocalypse.)I bought them for my wife, but the taste is growing on me. Quite varied, depending on who and where it is made. Enough of that- no question, the Aussie's will have a better barbie with shrimps. And if we like cold beer, it is a better bet. Stouts and ales, Scotland, most likely. So we are down to steaks, and wild game. Red deer, to Scots. Roo, to the Aussies. Salmon, to the Scots. I don't know what fish the Aussies eat, but probably will fit on the barbie just fine. So the final assessment is this. The barbie has been canceled!! Let's get the bastards!.

Indeed. My favorite is the Talisker 10 year old. But I have tried a large number over the years, which is a little surprising since I haven't generally consumed hard alcohol. I make occasional exceptions, especially for Scotch at Scottish Highland Games.
I think you may have pasted a block quote into the link section, instead of the link. I'd fix it but I have no idea what you intended to link.

Fixed, I think!
ReplyDeleteIs fixed. And block quote I noted above was wholly irrelevant. This is better.
ReplyDeleteI'm more Australian.

I am with the Aussie's.

I'm probably with the Scots, although the Aussie approach does sound appealing.

No, the barbie hasn't been canceled. We'll play some football, get the bastards, then celebrate at the barbie.

The "barbie" was when a firestorm reaching the heavens, arrived in Australia.
