Haven't tried that.

I'm waiting for my "custard apple" (a fruit) to ripen. Anyone tried one of them ? - I haven't yet but will as soon as it's ready to eat.

The funny thing is you see thousands of blokes who look just like that, in fact its hard to spot many that dont!!

I want a UK tourist campaign, real piccys of real ozzies, how about the dole mammas on Thursdays, bare cracked dirty feet 4 kids in the trolley, or beach shot with someone whos had a cancery ear removed. Or my fave, the huuuuge people dripping grease in the food courts. I cant eat in those places the sights are too disgusting.

:scared:

Do you wear a flanno? How is the mullet going? How many meals a week do you not each chips with Pluto Pups or deep fried cheese on a stick?

Cracked heels - euughgghhh! I have never seen so many disgusting heels as here! Avon's cracked heel cream can't be working, mind you they probably don't bother. You could cut through an inch with a razor blade & it wouldn't be felt. I have a real feet phobia (especially those that belong to men)

My nephew used to mow the lawn in his bare feet and yes you guessed it - ended up in casualty!

See there we go again, this winter it was freezing at somebodys BBQ, guess what I did borrowed a flanno. I am very worried.

No mullet tho, I kidnapped a Top ex London hairdresser, food I could never ever eat the shi* they eat here totally utterly disgusting, makes Yanks look healthy.

Be careful the mullet came back in a retro way in the UK. My sister freaked when Toni and Guy did one on her.

The heels are a big problem it seems. Here some grocery shop in bare feet, cracked of course it puts me off a bit. Cant someone pass a law requiring footwear for hygeine reasons.
