The other end of the clothes dryer wormhole is in my sock drawer. I have about 15 black socks there, all different.

 

Oh, and Collingwood lost again on Saturday, after leading in the first 3 quarters. I don't know how they do this so often.

It would be a bit difficult for me to get an Aussie pie, as I'm in the UK.

I was wondering if Aussie pie was slang for something else so I did a little research.

 

According to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) the meats allowed in a meat pie are beef, buffalo, camel,

...

Tasty though I'm sure the Aussie pies are, I think I'll stick to good old American Pie.

Some Aussie pies dont have meat at all - they use something called 'textured protein'.

 

But see here, and look in 'commercials' on the rhs, then the bottom left (restaurant.mpg) - very 'Aussie'.

(Edit to add - now that was a nostalgic trip for me - the bus one in particular - the song is almost our national anthem, up there with 'Skippy the Bush Kangaroo')

To misquote Mick :

I know its only meat and pastry but I like it, like it, yes I do.

Now for something completely different -

Self and Mrs Slowfinger are off to the Port Fairy Folk Festival this weekend - as watchers, not players. You can see who's on here:

We've been to the last 4 and it's always been a great long weekend. My dream would be to play on the festival circuit.

 

I have a cat. He is black.
