Yep, it was Sir Robert Menzies, with large eye brows.
He spent so much time with HM Queen Liz 2, they thought they were joined at the hip.

Cupie · Guru

G'day ..

My wall chart of Prime Ministers says ...

"Sir" Robert Gordon Menzies (1894-1973)
Resigned as PM (in early war years) ,
Formed the Liberal Party.
PM from 1949 for 17 yrs.

I think that he was "Lord Warden of the Sync? Ports" A Knight of the Garter maybe.

Also known a "Pig Iron Bob" for the scrap iron he sold to the Japs B4 WW2 that came back on Darwin as bombs. I think that the Maheno, now rusting on the coast on Frazer Is. was one that didn't make it to Nippon.

Also known as "King Ming" ...

Remember his qoute ... how did it go?

"I but saw her passing by,
but I will love her till I die"

refering to the Queen of Australia!

Hey Claude! good shot, you nailed a bullseye.
Now..... The jerrycan of fuel is under the trailer, and the nanas are still on the tree, and can you whip around the lawn on the ride on for me when you pick them up?
Everyone thought I was mad, they just didn't read the question.

No way, I'll buy the nana's if there not ripe when ya get here, only a $1 for 6 from the bloke up the back, (mine are better though) how many dozen can you eat?
And the mower is full of fuel.
And you can have all the muddies you can catch, and yes the creek is full of them.

Bugger! Got me!

It seems that you did your research well . He was born on 21 Sept 1957.

(I was hoping that I could catch you out on that point - bugger again!)

Crikey, I'm only tryin ta get me lawn mowed, aint ya got a sense of humor.

Anyway we had a giggle for a while, well I did.
so why don't someone else come up with a quiz question? I'll play.

Cyclone Hamish is just off the coast and dumping some rain so the lawn will have to wait for a while.
Cheers Girls an Blokes.

Just hopped back into the forum after a bit of a break. You sure hoodwinked the lot of 'em Jim and I reckon you'd have got me too if I'd been in on it. What's happening with the cyclone?

Cruising Granny · Guru

The eyebrows are handy for keeping the sweat out of your eyes while mowing those lawns, especially if you're working in the tropics.
I never judge a man by his eyebrows.
Jeez, we do get off the subject easily. Makes for fun communication.

I thought this would have been dead by now.

Hey Granny you got a fetish on eye brows?

It's funny how the older ya get hair starts to grow in crazy places, eye brows go berko, I gotta trim mine every week, I let a few go to see how long they would get, I sniped em at an inch and a half, otherwise I would have looked like a bloody cray fish, (don't say it I know what ya thinkin, cray fish= head ful of crap an the all the meat in the tail)

Snout hair, ya just can't stop it, pluck em or snip em they keep tryin to bust outa there, pluckin em is an eye waterin experience, and snease, holy crap batman ya can't stop.
Ear fur is not so bad to deal with, but hard to see the ones at the back, so a quick flash with the cig lighter seems to fix them for a while, but it's the buggers that are inside the lug hole .
A bloke starts to look like an old teddy bear thats loosing it's stuffing, all that fur starts to tickle at the worst possible time, and when ya got ya hands full and need to scratch it's a moungrel.
So you women dont have a great deal to worry about.
And NO not like some, I don't have to worry about removing it from the palms.

I hope you got a giggle out of it.

thanks Jim
some say that i have the mentality of one as well.
If we dont get away on our next trip soon (now delayed to mid April) i'll be swinging from the trees.
If you find that someones raided your plantation it was probably me.

Great ambiguity R/Ranger.
You surely must have too much time on your hands, or at least too much time alone.
I find my mind wanders to silly things as I drive through the countryside.
Silly signs get my attention and cause me much laughter.
eg. "Falling Rocks Do Not Stop".
Now is that advising the motorist the fallings just keep falling? Or does it mean we should not stop because we will get squashed by never ending falling rocks?
There are others. Try it, it can be very entertaining.
I also get a kick out of ambiguous signage on business vehicles.
eg. The glazier in Ceduna noted "We're just a stone's throw away", and they were. Until the local pub put Lexen sheeting in the windows instead of glass or perspex.
Once again, try it. And keep smiling. Granny
