nup ----------- believe me, French friends now ask what Oz is doing this week - as they roll on the floor laughing at some of Oz's antics
at first it became 'you're kidding' with a little laughter, that turned to 'really, that's actually retarded' and lots of laughs
now as they learn more about Oz - because French in general actually know about Crocodile Dundee and AC-DC and that's about it - bar some idea that we have kangaroos and they box
but as they learn about Oz and how it has things like 'if you're a blackfella, tick the box' - that one leaves them with their mouth open -
and how Oz up until about the 60's only had beer drinking swill houses and nothing like French bars or English pubs where you couldn't even get a coffee or a tea -------- again ----------- what went wrong there? and lots of laughter
then, of course that Oz has no car efficiency standards ---------- along with Russia ------------ 'they what, no, surely not?'
and then, that some states in Oz don't even have child labour laws - so, you get questions about if Ozzies still stick little kiddies in chimneys ------- the answer is ----- only at Mc Donalds and Kentucky Fried
so, yeah -------- there's lots of laughter around when people begin to learn about Oz

nup ----------- believe me, French friends now ask what Oz is doing this week - as they roll on the floor laughing at some of Oz's antics
and we wonder what is happening in France and you wouldn't believe the laughs we get when we see French farmers dumping manure on the streets and in Macdonalds restaurants
Hard to beat for a laugh
