Guest guest37336 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 See, see, see, for those of you who don't know, step away from the beet root. It's nothing but a giant bully boy radish on steroids who goes out of it's way to ruin many a good sarnie. See, see, see, look at the demonic grin on it's idiotic face, don't trust it my friends, it is just waiting to turn your bread red with it's red insidious slime, if I wanted red bread I'd bloody well order red bread wouldn't I. See, see, see, STEP AWAY FROM THE BEET ROOT.:realmad: Cheers Tony.:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobj Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Absurd, but slightly different: Spent 11 months trying to get out of England in 1962/3. Got to Australia, spent the obligatory 4 years for citizenship; obtained Australian passport and went to England...The mongrels promptly stamped my passport, "Only allowed 6 months in UK" :arghh: Cheers, Bobj.

To which his Mum replied "Sheila".His twin rolled her eyes and said "I know it's his Sheila but what's her name?".....my name IS Sheila lol:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I did see on a community noticeboard a bullock for rent. oddly enough some people had taken the phone number tabs. Actually, in rural areas it is not as silly as it sounds but makes a difference from cars for sale and house shares advertised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gothic Rose Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I haven't witnessed this at first hand but my husband told me that in the town near where he was Jackarooing, there was a man who used to walk into town with a huge pig on a lead & he'd give people rides & sometimes there'd be two people riding into the town on this huge pig.... ingenious or absurd you decide :biglaugh::biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LKC Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There is a roadsign near to us, that is a warning for deer that someone always sticks a Santa in his sleigh to. I mean to take a photo but it is on the main road and there isn't anywhere safe to stop. There is also a decorated Christmas tree that someone puts up at the side of the road in the middle of the Royal National Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockDr Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 About this time last year, saw a big flashing roadsign on one of the major roads in Adelaide that had me laughing hysterically for the rest of the drive home. It said "Motorists, PREPARE FOR WINTER!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mimabean Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 LOL, the most absurd thing we have seen so far, was a home made cardboard sign strapped to a tree saying '' Lost Black and White Cow''... lol,, We had only been in Australia a few days when we saw it ,although it still makes me wonder how someone can lose a cow,lol.

olly Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Another one that whilst not absurd was staggering to me. I had and have always been fascinated with wild life, I remember going to the Daintree for the first time and seeing this. Blew me away, to a teenager it fascinated me that such animals I had only read about were ACTUALLY in the river, absurd, no, but bloomin exciting and thrilling. Cheers Tony.:wink: Yes love those signs too, and on the bottom you notice 'penalties apply' - yes you get eaten, LOL. I was in Palm Cove near Cairns and was in the ocean beach, swimming behind the 'Stinger' nets. I put my arms over the net once and the lifesaver kindly asked me to pull my arm back, to which I replied 'oh sorry, yes the stingers, I forgot (i.e. I'm from Melbourne, LOL) and he said 'we had a crocodile jump over the net the other day'. I swam back to shore pretty quickly. Think I might just stay in Melbourne next time:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Beet root and Parsley with EVERYTHING, WTF is all that about. Sandwiches, a mass of Parsley as a 'side' dish, more than you could choke a donkey with, then look inside the bread and there ooooooooozzing it's deadly red demonic translucent goo is BEET ROOT,:arghh::mad::biglaugh:.
