'fair suck of the sauce bottle'? Very odd
Your purchases might have been modest but they look jolly good.
Off to scoff my chicken biryani which most definitely is
Zoe & I sat through 2 hours & 40 minutes of A Towering Inferno last night accompanied by a good bottle of wine
Hi Pen,
Spot on again. Another variation is
fair suck of the sav – same meaning. No odder than some of your Pommie idioms.
33. Fair go, mate. Fair suck of the sauce bottle. Fair crack of the whip
Made famous by the ill-fated former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who enjoyed using Australian slang to speak to the electorate and often pleaded for a "fair suck." The phrase generally means that you want to be treated fairly.
"Fair suck" was coined by struggling Australian families who shared droppings of tomato sauce to flavour their meat. Such was the hard life that all they wanted was an equitable suck. In the fields, they needed a "fair crack of the whip." Fair go, mate.
I take it yours was
not my cup of tea.
I am glad the photos came out in the middle of the post. I can’t check whether I have got the

Dropbox right because all our devices have unlimited access to the whole data base.
Chicken Biryani is my favourite chicken dish.
A good bottle of wine (or two) was the reason we found ourselves posting at the same time. After dinner I settled down at the laptop to finish off the draft I had made earlier in the day and I found myself nodding off, so i thought I would have a 10 minute nap to freshen up. I put my head down and woke up over 4 hours later.
I’ve got an interesting week coming up. The local Vets are putting on a
week of golf. So I had registration and a bar-b-cue this afternoon and will have golf on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, One round at each of the local courses. Vets from all over NSW will be competing. Wednesday, I must go to Sydney. It is possible that my posts might get shorter and shorter as the week progresses. Some of our readers will probably say
”what a relief”.
When Blue and Sheila were first married, they rented a house in Moss Vale. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, Sheila sees her neighbor hanging her laundry outside.
“
That laundry is not very clean,” she says. “
She doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.”
Blue looked on but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her laundry to dry, Sheila would make the same comments.
About one month later, Sheila was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to Blue, “
Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder how that happened?”
Blue said, “I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And I guess I better finish by giving you a challenge 4,4,8,4,’5,4.
