I was wondering about that but decided not to mention it - didn't want to spoil your evening. Early rise tomorrow then?

Nah, it'll be fine ... I just need to get up at 5 to sort it and get some real men in to fix the fences I've destroyed by driving through them in panic.

I was looking forward to the storm and 'golf ball sized hail' too ... Dashdangnabbit!

You pick up your Korean wife's (English reading and front seat sitting) mother from the airport and get stuck behind a ute with a large green luminous "**** off we're full" sticker on the back window....

I've seen lots of stickers on cars but not seen a single "FO,WF" one. Maybe it's a regional thing.

They are ubiquitous in Perth. There are other variations along the same theme e.g Love it or leave (with big flag), Bugger off we're full, Support it or **** off (with flag) etc etc
