And of course we all know, don't we, that the swagman's name was Andrew.....Andy sang, Andy watched, Andy waited till his billy boiled......
Sorry about that Bob! *grin*
There was a humorous TV ad here a few years ago for one of those 'just add meat' dinners. It showed a bloke out in the bush, creek in the background, pot simmering over a fire, and he was cheerfully whistling as he added the contents of the dinner packet to the pot. The cops arrived in the four wheel drive, mentioned that the farmer down the road had lost a sheep and could he keep an eye out for it. Certainly, says the bloke, and as they left he held up the packet to catch the camera - 'just add lamb' for a stew.
Cheers
