I did a spell check on my last post I used where I had used "fair dinkum ".

The EO spell checker gave me the alternative of TUNGAMAH . When I Googled this , the only match I could get was a town in Victoria .

Fascinating .

Maybe there's nothing in Oz more fair dinkum than TUNGAMAH
After all it is in Vic the home of Ned Kelly and we do have a ripoff society these days.

Are you fair Dinkum Willie, Umm is it a Colonel inside a nut, Anyhow how ya doing , This is a bit of a culture shock over here in Perth's cool weather after Mt Isa It's trying to rain right now kernel eh ...
A kennel is the name given to any structure or shelter for dogs. A kennel is a doghouse, run, or other small structure in which a dog is kept. American English often uses the word "doghouse" in this context; in British English the term "kennel" is preferred, but the phrase "in the doghouse" is understood. Used in the plural, the kennels, the term means any building, collection of buildings or a property in which dogs are housed, maintained, and bred.Don't we end up in the Dog-house when cause trouble with the missus, I use to, but don't have that worry since I got divorced;
On another subject Willie have you seen the Bundy Rum Ad where they put a red sock in the Bears bath water and his Fur went pink

Hi Willie
What about the Supercheap Auto Ad where the kid arrives home in a taxi because his father filled the car up with goodies, I just love the expression on him [the Father] when he arrives home

gotta love that ... my wife had been complaining about the new spacecase that appeared in the back of the truck ... and when she was out last night the ad showed and I saw it for the first time. After I picked myself up off the floor from laughing, the kids told me, "Mum says that that is you".

Ciao for now
Dad who replied, "I say that is mum" ;-)
