:D thanks for the compliments mate , thought i might've been going a little overboard :lol:

i was listening to some old tunes of my extensive record collection and got sentimental about the australia of old . the one i grew up with where people were proud of our unique colonial culture , when we had some very smart inventors and we used to make everything here .

disclaimer , don't drink and post :lol: :lol: :lol:
