So, now the QLD floods are subsiding, the state I live in is flooding (as well as NSW which is the state south of my state). My parents live on the Victorian-NSW boarder on the Murray River which is seeing in places moderate flooding. They're ok at the moment and predictions are there shouldn't be any major flooding but it's unknown at the moment. The town about 40km away (called Kerang) is currently flooding and it'll depend on where the water goes from there as to how things go for my parents.
Funny thing is: my mother is currently down in Melbourne visiting my sister...and to get home she has to go through Kerang so she's stuck--going home would involve a huge detour via whoop-whoop and she is getting the train anyway...which is currently not running due to the floods. My sis and I love our mum but have this running joke of how much she annoys us (she's quite dotty, in an endearing way) so my sis says if she can't get home on Friday she's driving mum down here to me! God help me!

Woop Woop : invented name for any small unimportant town - "he lives in Woop Woop"

You're such a dag, dAN!
Blimey! What ning-nong spells it "woop woop" it's got an H in it. Only a drongo would spell it that way!
Anyway, looks like I might go down to the big smoke tomorrow, spend the arvo there, perhaps even have a barbie (if only we had some barra but I think we'll just have snags instead) because my mum has just been giving me an earful: my niece/her granddaughter keeps going berko at her. And my sis and mum are probably going to end up having a blue so before they end up clobbering each other...
<sigh> I'm nackered! If only I enjoyed billies...coz I could probably do with one right now! And it's a shame I've given up the durries! Maybe I'll just go to the bottleo instead, grab a cleanskin, pop on some togs and go flake out at the beach. Spoiler

If she withdrew from exaltation, she would be forced to think- And every thought led to fear and contradictions; to dilemmas for which she was unprepared.

Blimey (surprised; exclamation expressing surprise or amazement)! What ning-nong (simpleton; idiot) spells it "woop woop" it's got an H in it. Only a drongo (dope) would spell it that way!
Sorry, I made a blue and used a blodgy translator. Won't happen again.

I was wondering when I would get the eligible or not bachelorette quiz from one of my single male co-workers. Got it today and surprisingly from one I would have suspected least. He even went so far as to say that he liked being in relationships and that his last one lasted for over four years but they had been broken up for almost a year now and he was getting tired of being single. Other than that it was a pretty ordinary day. Tomorrow I get to close again and wednesdays are going to be my regular closing day. I'm pretty happy about that as is my crew. When they found out they were all excited.
Sorry about your dating luck CovJr. That sucks. Did you pessimize her into retreat with your Eeyoristic attitude and platitudes? LOOK! I made up two NEW words in one sentence! I know, that was pretty insensitive. Feel free to fly to the states to punish me for my lack of tact.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

I'm impressed!!!!!! ...although it's not "blodgy" it's "dodgy" or "bodgie"
Mishing it to Jaffaland for the BDO tomorrow with a couple of my cuzzies. I was supposed to go up with this chick I know, but she piked on me. I'm pretty pissed bout it, but shes my ticket back to Wangas so can't go all Jake the Muss bout it aye.
Had mean times this arvo with my bros, OTP on the river bank. (Cleanskins are too high roller for us, we rock the goonsack). My boys were on the blaze, I just sank a few. Quit the smokes as well, so they were stoked that I don't scab off them anymore.
So yeah, nah. Sweet as.
(Have fun, translators)

Jawellnofine. It would be kif if you okes could tune me what I'm charfing about too. So spot you later boet, I have to go make sarmies. Oh and can you make me a las?
Oh and Sea....honey.....our names may be unpronounceable but at least they make sense once translated......

Vain, darlin': what, "Swan Hill" doesn't make sense to you. Major Thomas Mitchell, going down the Murray River in his little boat, did sit on a small rise (aka hill) overlooking the Murray and was kept awake at night by the black swans who were honking. Hence SWAN HILL. Makes sense to me...
...ok...I dunno about Kerang (it's an aboriginal word, I think) and Nar-Nar-Goon was probably someone taking the piss, as is probably the case with PooWong!

I don't know... I think Big Timber and Plentywood in Montana have to be in contention. I'm sure I remember Claire telling me about a place up there called something like Dead Frog as well, but I forget the exact name and can't find it anywhere.
Going off topic from place names, the upper class English kids I worked with (for, really) on my Gap year had some of the coolest names ever. Freddy Attack, Henry Dangerfield, and the unfortunate Octavia Manning-Cox.
