Download the wallpaper version... see that large flat brownish wooden looking thing, we call that a table, and it doubles as a stubby holder. In fact it is so good it can hold a 6-pack, a slab (24 pack) and more... neat hey
What's with that attitude anyway ?? Trying to take the stigma away that people have here about ozzies being laid back and carefree ?
Good luck, coz that's very unlikely to happen.

I hope this clarifies matters.

It is lovely to see a bit of Australian sunshine on this forum, so keep it up!
It reminds me of these good old Ozzie days...
- watching the cricket with my mates while having a barbie (well I even know the bonus point rule - not bad for a sheila hey!)
- Reading the Age on a saturday while enjoying a lattee in a cafe at the South Melbourne markets...
- Seeing David and Margrets advice on what to watch in the weekend...
- Camping in the bush and enjoying a fine damper...
- Putting on my best frock for the Melbourne Cup...
- Discussing Pavlova, Russel Crowe and Pharlap with a Kiwi (I think they can have Russell)....
Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi!

No offense but "Aussie", not "Ozzie". It is "Dutch" not "Deutsch" right 
Bonus rule due to achieving victory by a substantial amount? Only one day cricket is interesting, the rest is a bore. The word "sheila" is not really used other than as a joke and by persons out of step with norms.
Doesn't Margaret have an opinion about everything! If she says it is bad, or good, doesn't matter. I trust David's view a bit more. Still who needs to be told what movies to like.
As for camping in the bush and damper, show me the nearest supermarket and pass me the bread, butter and vegemite!
I have never seen a horse race, other than by accident trying to avoid it while changing channels.
The Australia I know is fast changing weather. A lot of greenery. Also ... Trams. Stupid politicians. An idiot named Steve Irwin... I go for the crocodiles! Kylie ... I wish they would keep her in the UK!
Footy is good, AFL. Go Collingwood. High tech computer gear is good.
Meeting people who think we have 30cm wide spiders everywhere and kangaroos hoping about while we are in fact like any modern city here is a bit sad.
PS most spiders are like 1 to 2 cm, the largest I have see is like maybe 10cms and they are called Wolf Spiders. About ten years ago I emptied a can of air freshener on one ... the only thing I had at hand... they are FAST and can JUMP. Thankfully most spiders are "daddy long legs". Easy enough to collect with an object, plop in the toilet and flush.
Also for all the science buffs, seeing as the Earth's magnetic polarity is perhaps shifting, Australia will on top of the world and Europe will be at the A-hem end 
What I wish Australia would have are pine trees. We have them but not like northern Europe and the USA.
You cannot take your Dutch bicycle to ride here without a jet engine strapped onto it unless you want to be in training for the Tour de France every day.
Good thing about Melbourne are fewer flies and mossies than Perth.
Also the native birds make noise rather than sing... if it were up to me I would Europeanise Australia with the nicest plants and animals. Australia is a bit to rugged in that regard.
Have you ever tried a VB and vegemite sandwich? Try it and see what it is like. There may be a place in Holland to try it. Very Australian!

India batting, 6/94 after 27.
6 = number of players out... 10 = lose completely
94 = runs (300 at 50 is good, at 27 150 is good)
27 = overs (maximum 50 and then they swap, the Aussies bat)
The above score means India are losing VERY badly.
They have lost over half their players, all of their best batsmen, as they go in first. Also their score is far too low. They will not even make 200 at this rate, and 300 is good.
If you can find a live net coverage somewhere post it here.
There is another 5+ hours of play left

Last night was the second, and Australia set a score of 359, which is HUGE. A good score is around 250. A great score is around 300. Anyway India went in chasing this huge score and only managed to get 151. The Australian score was more than twice as much. That is a massive victory.
For those that do not know cricket think of a soccer *football* score where one team gets 7 goals and the other team gets 1 goal. It is that type of a huge victory.
The India are GOOD cricket players. Just Australia have been world champions for over ten years now.
As with all games there is more enjoyment in a close match, but a victory is a victory and the Aussie win yet another cricket match.
