Australian Etiquette.
IN GENERAL
1.. Never take an open stubby to a job interview.
(A stubby, in this instance is a small, 375mil, bottle of beer usually drunk straight from the bottle, Stubbies on the other hand are a brand of work shorts popular with trades people.)
2.. Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.
3.. It's tacky to take an Esky to church.(An "Esky" is a portable icebox used to keep your stubby's, bottles, cold.)
4.. If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
5.. Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer to the funeral.
DINING OUT
1.. When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.
2.. If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1.. A centre piece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist.
2.. Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
1.. While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN Ute keys.
2.. Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.
3.. Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.
4.. Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.
DATING
1.. Always offer to bait your date's hook - especially on the first date.
2.. Be assertive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wanting to go out with you ever since I read that stuff on the dunny door two years ago."
3.. Establish with her parents what time she's expected back. Some will say 11:00 PM, others might say "Monday." If the latter is the answer, it's the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.
THEATRE ETIQUETTE
1.. Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.
2.. Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen. Tests have proven they can't hear you.
WEDDINGS
1.. Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2.. Kissing the bride for more than five seconds may cause a drop in your popularity. (Excessive use of the tongue is also considered out of place)
3.. For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
4.. Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.
DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1.. Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun is loaded and the roo is in your rifle sight.
2.. When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way.
3.. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4.. When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

I bunged the vid over to Terry's show and he sang it on the air this AM.
News....
Oxford compiles list of top ten irritating phrases. They missed out 'It's time for change'.
Obama faces Cold War threat and a warning from Israel as his computer his hacked by 'foreign entity'. Will be able to handle it? No chance.
Hamilton's anger at F1 boss after Ecclestone dismisses racist chants as 'a bit of a joke'. Formula One would be better without Ecclestone. It has become too much about money. The richest teams win, the poorest take part.
In the poppy field of Westminster, 30,000 lives are remembered. We shall not forget.
Power of the internet helped Obama surf into the White House. The GOP must learn from this.
Was Kim Jong-il photo manipulated? Of course it was. He is a corpse.

The GOP needs to get with it.....
H/T Mark Scott
A bit unfair on McCain. He was never the right choice. The GOP thought they were going to fight Hillary.
Another bit of Edtorial Twaddle: Both the US and UK are run by an inbred, incestuous and corrupt political system until we start electing free thinkers and by that I mean independent representatives we will continue to be subjugated. Just imagine 100 independents in Congress or the Houses of Parliament. No party would be able to pass legislation without full and proper debate.
Failing that we just shoot all the liberals!!!!!
A Brief Editorial:
The 'Threat' that is Russia.
In the last couple of years Putin -the Pseudo Tsar- has started to play silly buggers. Russia now has an income from oil and gas that it never had when the Iron Curtain was in place, and seems to be using the confidence of a full bank account to start messing with the world again.
Recently they have started to resupply their old allies Syria and Lybia with new military kit. They will shortly be holding military exercises with Venezuela in the Gulf of Mexico which will involve nuclear subs. Is this willy waving? You tell me? It is challenging the US in their own backyard knowing that Bush is on the way out and Obama hasn't the balls for a fight? Obama as freely stated that he wants to cut military spending and do away with missile defence and nuclear weapons so what do our enemies have to fear?
Iran will use the transition period to increase their influence in Iraq and may challenge the US Navy in the Gulf. If Obama fails to make a stand during this period all hell may break loose come Spring.
Russia/Putin will continue to back our enemies through weapon sales and the UN and will continue to shit stir knowing that Europe, the UN and right now the US are paralysed by socialism and bullshit human right legislation.
The bullies of the world will prevail while good men dither.
