Technically, they're not mountains at all, which makes us not posh. It's a dissected plateau and now we've got that sorted, it's time for a Pimms and my butler to give me my morning foot massage.

Maybe... cant work it out, she was dressed up in her Thongs and Jeans, no barefoot that day. :confused: :unsure: :rofl:

On a side note, we dropped a lock key inside the lock, Whilst I stood around working out what to do, stuffing around with the barge poll,Wife strips down to her Tshirt and knickers and jumped in and got it with her feet... was bloody deep as well.

Stank a bit when she got out though... maybe that had something to do with it.

Folks,
My rant is not from the perspective of an Indian, its from the shoes of an average australian (say a bogan or a tradie earning < 60k). Most of you replying here who don't live my version of Australian life are those cash rich creatures who live in inner city/posh suburbs or those who aleady mastered the local tricks of getting things done or probably those who haven't lived in Asian countries where you get 'value for money' or those who got subdued to 'quality comes from price' (exorbitant price).

Come out and visit outer suburbs and see the life of a ordinary resident, struggling student or migrant, you'll start seeing my version. Good luck:thumbup:
