Australian Ingenuity
Australian ingenuity:
The only two tools you need are WD40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, use the tape.

Re: Australian Ingenuity
I thought it was the opposite, power tools. Nobody seems to hammer in a nail unless it had a great big compressor on the end, gerni (water blaster on compressor) to clean a window, vaccumn machines to vaccumn the drive. Fathers day forget socks its cordless drills all round. We even have electricaly charged torches. Had the house painted, sure enough, compressors out paints on. When we were in suburbia, sundays would blow you away with the flamin noise.
For the girls, bread makers, nice in summer, pasta makers, great if you have an moring to spare
And irons that have a barrel attached, cant explain that one I am not very domesticated Hot christmas idea, electric floor mop, dont think I'll get one I'd probably blow it up.

This is so true! And it reminds me of travelling. One thing I've never left home without when off on my travels is some duct tape. From taping down shampoo bottle tops to fixing broken backpacks, you can't beat a bit of duct tape. I even fixed a broken radio with some duct tape and a peanut. And I'm not even an aussie!

Re: Australian Ingenuity
I have never seen so many gadgets & electrical things in the shops as I have here. There is something for everything - anything to make your lives slightly easier but doesn't really cos they are too puch of a pain in the arse to use.

Australian Ingenuity:
Australian Flag: put in a miniature of someone else’s flag (the Union Jack) and then add a few stars.
New Zealand flag: copy the Australian flag but change the stars slightly.
Australia should go to war with New Zealand.
Why?
Because they are the only ones that we can beat!

Hi Rossi,
be carefull with the tape.
At work recently we discovered that someone had cost cut the balck tape. It was now almost US, a pale immitation of black tape of old.:scared: :scared: :scared:
Luckily they hadn't affected the grey, so now everything is grey not black. 
Bye
