G'day FAWLAKS,

" ... We don`t share the Australian habit of having sheep as friends ..." What you may have missed out on is the fact that we Aussies crack all the sheep jokes about New Zealanders (where there are about 5 times as many sheep per person as in Australia).

" ...By the by do you still need a criminal record to get into Oz..." And, as I remarked in another forum about the song (which I first saw here) " ... Was Your Grandma a Whore ..." - judging by the slang and lack of local knowledge, this seems to be an American attempt to gloss over the fact that they got all the good whores in the centuries that they were the dumping ground for Britain's lower classes and rebels. in our couple of decades as a convict repository, we got about as many convicts in total as we got immigrants in the first year after the goldrush.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
