Adelaide has a WOMAD and I don't think Peter Gabriel would give it to some pissy little town, no sir.
Also, VB is nothing more than cat's piss for bogans. Coopers is the beer to drink, son.

An Australian has yet to answer my question.
― gr8080, Saturday, 25 August 2007 00:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Some states observe DST and some don't which makes it even more fucked up.
Still not an answer, but I'm no Australian either.
― Pleasant Plains, Saturday, 25 August 2007 00:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I wouldve thought because Adelaide's not all that far from the east coast rly? Like Perth is 3 hours behind us but Adelaide isnt 1/3 of the way along (which'd mae a 1 hour diff plausible)
PS I am talking out of my arse. I have no idea.

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Central Standard Time (pretty much Adelaide and Darwin) is a retarded and woefully out-of-date system made about a million years ago for god knows what purpose of having us 30 minutes behind the East Coast.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.

Can any fellow Australian interpret this for me? Maybe it's regional:
"whazzat mate? You want me to give you a fair go? There's no need to bung it on with me, you stunned mullet. Your pals left you like a shag on the rock. You managed to sneak by the doorman but I know a ring-in when I see one. Once I reach into my utility pouch it's all over for you. You've got me hopping mad now."― Neanderthal, Saturday, March 26, 2016 12:12 PM (9 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

"What was that, good sir? Do you implore justice in my judgement? Sir, you are an imbecile and, as such, your buffoonery is quite transparent. Your friends left you complete alone. You may have initially fooled them into acceptance but I can detect a charlatan when I see one. Prepare for the end, good sir. It will come at the hands of an item in my gentleman's pouch. Possibly a tool of some sort. You have certainly vexed me. "
