ps gotta agree about the boardies moonshadow...
Nothing like a nice pair of boardies on a bloke.

Oh and I can't remember the last time I had a yabbie roofarmer, they're so hard to catch with the drought the way it is.

Ok, translator on duty again!

Budgie Smugglers are bathers, you know the briefs you wear swimming.

Boardies are board shorts

Cozzies are bathers

And yabbies, well I can't just go out and photograph a yabbie for you but they're kinda like a freshwater PRAWN!

We used to catch em in the dams but so many of the dams are dry it's slim pickings. I reckon the last time I had one was way back in the early 90s after spending HOURS trying to catch em!

It's bad that the farms are going out of business though.

We used to cook em up and sprinkle em with salt and a little vinegar. I don't think I've ever had one on the barbie.
