    Talking

    Now I'm not sure if I'll be able to understand my daughter when she comes back from Australia. Now where did I put that translator?

    Any of you blokes know this...

    Two eyes, two legs, two steely bends
    Beneath the Southern Cross I stand
    With a can of Southark in my hand
    Symbol of my native land
    Up the ol red rooster
    Suck more piss


    I think I got that right?

    Couple pics of Fig Newtons:

    1st Pic is from a 1960s advert (No I don't work for Nabisco!)







    They are great with ice cold milk.


    Cheers,

    Always remember that in the USA you cant ask for a spanner you must ask for a wrench and the letter Z is pronounced Zee and not Zed.

    Ohh Also remember that "I let one rip" means "I cut one" to a yank.

    Just to chime in:

    Correct!
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton
    are not the same as:
    http://www.nabiscoworld.com/Brands/b...d=75&PageNo=1/

    But, the question of the day is:
    How many Newtons can a Fig Newton take until a Fig Newton is not a Newton anymore?
