Just found out we have a tree in Australia that's lethal to humans if touched. A tree!

Contact with the leaves or twigs causes the hollow, silica-tipped hairs to penetrate the skin. The sting causes a painful stinging sensation which can last for days or even months, and the injured area becomes covered with small, red spots joining together to form a red, swollen mass. The sting is known to be potent enough to kill humans, and it can also kill dogs and horses.^[2]

That's interesting. Reading stuff like that I always remember the common excuse "weed is not bad, it's natural, anything from God can't be bad" (not saying weed is bad, but I'm pointing to the argument)... well God or nature has a twisted sense of humour it seems. I dare them hipsters to hug that tree. I bet they eat fly agarics and poisonous berries as well. Death by natural cause, literally.

Anyway, writing the word "humour", I stopped to think how is it spelled in UK and Australia? Humor, humour?

Yes, only the Americans and Canadians spell it without the 'u'.

Same with the word Colour. They spell it Color.

check the number of English who spell loose instead of lose.

I have no problems with the way Americans spell, just despise their fast food outlets. How stupid are we to use them . The French have more sense.

I can't believe the racist wankers at Cricket Australia have turned down Waqar Younis' application to be Australia's new bowling coach. He would have been perfect for honing the skills of the multitude of young Australian quicks.

But no, because he's Pakistani and got the ball to reverse swing, he automatically was ball tampering

Just remembered I have got a relation to an Australian rich guy who owns many McDonald's through my dad.....hes like my dad's uncle's brother or something...... just as you guys were on about McDonalds and stuff too. You know what I think I might have to go to Australia and beg this guy for money.

Younis would have been very good. We should go for Akram (is he coaching somewhere?)
