I dont'even know where to start on that Duritz. Has a Queenslander stolen your girlfriend?

Speaking of monkeys, where else in the world but in monkey Queensland would the abbreviation QLD represent Queensland??

What happened there - the pollies said, "Well, Queensland is so hard to pronounce, let alone spell, for our voters, lets give them something to shorten it to."

And so they discussed it - the public wanted it to just be one letter, because that would be easier to remember, and of course the natural letter to choose in that case would be K - cos that's how most of them incorrectly began the spelling of their state name.

Others said, "No - let's make it two letters!" (Queensland intellectuals!) and their suggestion was therefore KW, being the first two letters of how most of them incorrectly started their state name.

If the rest of the country took the Queensland approach to abbreviations, we would have VTN, NUS, NOY, SHA, WNA, TNA (who cares about them!) and ANY.

That's yet another argument for the pile of arguments as to why Queenslander's shouldn't be allowed to vote, hold a license, hold a gun (God help us all!) breed, speak, sing, write or produce racecallers.

Eventually, luckily for all, the politicians asked a Victorian, "What would be the best abbreviation?" He replied, "SHTVL"... which they ended up shortening, to QLD.

LOL nah - I have a wife, and as far as I know she's not been tainted by the QLD brush..... (although she comes from northern NSW...)

I don't know why I wrote that stuff - I'm having a beer and being cheeky mainly, listening to music, have been doing form but have finished that (for Caulfield) and am letting mind wander. Unfortunately you guys copped the wanderings.

Scarily enough enough we do have guns. Something to do with protecting the queen's country during WWII


That was a fantastic post Duritz. It might not last too long though if the moderators are consistent.

Missed your last post Duritz. I figured you were kidding. Just cause it is dark here at 6.30 already and i don't want daylight savings doesn't mean I am a bad person.

I am having a beer too and pondering a great days worth of punting.
