I'd say so, if you don't count Fiji and NZ. Those boomers, if they are actually based in OZ to start with wouldn't drink Fosters - it's very rare for any Australian to actually drink the stuff.

I bet they can't sing that song any more.<BR/><BR/>Does Santa start in Australia? He'd have to reach the boomers before they hit the 4-X. Or is it Fosters?<BR/><BR/>Ah, well it won't be long before Santa gets banned altogether. Letting a strange old man with a sack into your kids' bedroom late at night? That's just asking to be politically corrected.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115935.post-32955971535801900682007-12-02T03:38:00.000+11:002007-12-02T03:38:00.000+11:00Plonka, I nearly missed yours:Re Mrs Claus, yes, h...Plonka, I nearly missed yours:<BR/><BR/>Re Mrs Claus, yes, he could be gay. He does, after all, look a lot like Albus Dumbledore. Which is another popular culture reference I could have poked into Elrond's comment on the record.<BR/><BR/>You know, I worked it out quite early. But I never told may parents. And just in case they're reading (Hi Mum, Hi Dad) I still believe in Santa, dammit! Not about to spoil that little gravy train now.<BR/><BR/>I believe "Moll, moll, moll!" is the correct spelling. Not that anyone at school ever spelt it correctly.Dikkiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897381809885423712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115935.post-53584818896814992892007-12-02T02:51:00.000+11:002007-12-02T02:51:00.000+11:00Hi Tom, and welcome to my blog.That's a cool story...Hi Tom, and welcome to my blog.<BR/><BR/>That's a cool story there. I'm not sure what the moral is, but teaching kids to question everything would have solved that.

My very first record, at the age of about 8, was a Rolf Harris record called "Boomanoomanar" and guess what my favourite track was...<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about Mrs. Claus though. Notice how it's all "allegedly"? No one's ever seen seen a real picture, only an "artists impression". I think he's gay and it's all just PR spin.<BR/><BR/>My kids believed it until my oldest worked it out. Then they tried to keep the fact that they knew quiet for a couple years and we let them. Our reasoning was that they're only kids once and if <B>we</B> don't help them make the most of it, who will?<BR/><BR/>But how about "Mole, mole, mole" this is Australia after all...;)Plonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552546816593027504noreply@blogger.com
