Ashes Begins- Potential for Parochialism

[Puk]

Well boys and girls,
I for one am going to find it very difficult to get any work done for the next 5 days. Let the battle begin.

I reckon if Australia get a good start on them in Brisbane, it will either finish 4-1 or 4-0 with 1 draw.
But this will be an arm-wrestle in Brisbane. I hope we can get on top of them, but i don't know. I have this ugly feeling....... :shock: :shock: :shock: :? :? :?

Parochial(ism) had to look that one up... must be handy to speak Latin! First dict. entry: adjective- parochial- the parochial church.
Keep us updated, will youse?

[Puk]

I don't actually speak Latin mate,
Only Greek and Hebrew.
If you want to find a definition of parochial, just live in S.A. for a while. :roll:
Can you believe that the day after the September 11 terrorist attacks there were seriously headlines in the paper saying that Adelaide was the most likely next global target because of its "defence force and security" importance?

If i want to get a rise out of South Aussies, i just tell them that if everything west of the Vic/NSW border with SA suddenly fell off the map, 90% of Australia wouldn't notice, and 90% of those who did notice- wouldn't care!

I don't believe it but it fires them up!
But still, when someone from any state pulls on the baggy green cap, they are simply an Australian.

"Carn a'straya" :!: :!:
