2. RE: [OT] Re: Referencing Nested Sequences
blechhh.......
You have to be kidding me, Tony. As a fellow Aussie, I can authoritively
state that _nobody_ talks like that. Of course, there may be a few
exceptions, for example the very small number of people who live out away
from the cities... If someone said any of those things in casual
conversation, everyone else would look at them strangely.
*This* is why people think that australian's are wierd... we're not, but
this person is a Steve Irwin impersonator at best :oP *LART* *LART*...
okay, I'll stop now.
