Anyone else seen the BIG TROUT?

As Trouts go it would indeed be considered the mother of all catches!:

May I suggest, for budding entrepeneurs.....


The big blow fly complete with maggots.

The big Johnnie howard, complete with USA flag.

The big big Mac the national meal.

The big outback road complete with axe murderer.

The big aussie dollar sort of flying half mast.


Make sure you do not incorporate movement or sound into these objects, that would make them interesting and therefor defeat the purpose and tradition.

I also hear if you drive to Lightning ridge, (probably about 73 hours drive from some major city or other) you can see a house a woman made from beer bottles. My inlaws (australian) made a trip to see it just before they died so it must be very worthwhile.

(can I go back to europe now pleeeese) :scared:

You missed a couple:

The Big thong
The Big Mozzie
The Big Cane toad (or have they got one of these anywhere?)
The Big Soorley, or the big Jim (I dislike that fat sod!)
The Big sewer - trips to the sewage outlet anyone at Pinkinba(Brisbane river)
The Big lawn - dedicated to grass cutters everywhere, or the big Victor (lawnmower)

Ahh that's a bit better , off my chest now - I'm fed up of biting my tounge.

cheers

Big brown thing, umm, that would be John Prescott (Deputy Prime Minister).

On top of that, here in Blighty, we have a BIG ISSUE!
