Gooday Jack ,
Rather than a pedant , I simply perceive you to be a very sage man who , as an added bonus , just happens to have a great sense of humour. ( I don't like telling him but I do have a similar opinion of our Chi administrator. )
It's been a long time since I last heard this one ;
" You would be aware that Queensland is one hour and ten years behind New South Wales " ..just hilarious.
And to echo Penny's request , what suburb are you in?
And to take it a step further & if for no other reason than to give the forum some respite from my ramblings , I would really appreciate to hear a bit of an overview of your life in Australia.
Jack , the last thing that I want to do is to invade your privacy or ask you to talk about anything that you might be uncomfortable with so if you prefer not to respond then I fully understand but I am certain that the entire forum would like to hear your story.
If you do choose to share some stories with us , here's a few tips just to get you started.
I seem to recall seeing an ozziejune on the scoreboard who enjoys nothing more than beating ozziejack. ( wife , relative , friend or maybe even secret lover ? )
Were you born , married in Australia or are you an immigrant , how many kids , grandkids & what did you do during your working life.?
