its just a measurement from the 180 degree mark, right? nepal has 1/4 hour time diffs.
― sunny successor, Saturday, 25 August 2007 02:48 (sixteen years ago) link
so yeah, what trayce said
Central Standard Time (pretty much Adelaide and Darwin) is a retarded and woefully out-of-date system made about a million years ago for god knows what purpose of having us 30 minutes behind the East Coast.
We should have switched to EST a loooong time ago but everytime The Man tries to do that, a bunch of whiny farmers complain about having to get up at 7am or something and thus, we're held back by a bunch of toothless hicks.
Which only sort of answers your question, Gradski.

2. Pato:
Spanish slang used in Panama and other central american countries that defined a homosexual male.
Ese man es manso pato. That man is very gay.

On teh news last night they were saying that it could be a Labor landslide at this stage.
And yes, non-Australians, that is how the Australian Labor Party spells Labor, ok?
Also they were saying in a poll that 85% of Labor voters feel that Rudd's strip club visit shows him to be a "normal aussie bloke" or some shit like that.
― W4LTER, Monday, 27 August 2007 22:08 (sixteen years ago) link
why does "Australian Labor Party" spell labour wrong?
― Heave Ho, Monday, 27 August 2007 22:50 (sixteen years ago) link
From teh Wiks:
While it is standard practice in Australian English to spell the word labour with a u, the Party has spelt it without since Labor cabinet minister King O'Malley thought he would "modernise" the name;[6] at the time, it seemed likely that Australia would move to American spellings.
― W4LTER, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link
^that was in 1912.
― W4LTER, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:08 (sixteen years ago) link
that is how we spell labor in the USA.
― gr8080, Monday, 27 August 2007 23:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Yep, hence the "Labor cabinet minister King O'Malley thought he would "modernise" the name;[6] at the time, it seemed likely that Australia would move to American spellings."
― W4LTER, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 00:14 (sixteen years ago) link
I know americans spell like that, but australians are our brothers in english spellings.
― Heave Ho, Tuesday, 28 August 2007 00:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe King O'Malley should've tried modernizing the name.
