Where is Yinnar anyway? Wait, isn't it that hippy colony in Queensland?

Sheesh, is it that time of the month?

No, but it is for my sister, and getting chased around the house with a butcher knife sorta puts me in a bad mood...

And, no, I didn't know Winger lived in Australia (I thought it was Europe)...but then his comment makes no sense whatsoever.

Australia doesn't really have a winter... just a "cool season" (well, at least up north) so you could probably keep sheep out all year. He was most likely explaining to Wally why Christmas couldn't be in December (Asia gets *cold* that time of year rather than scorching)

FWIW, Jesus was born March 28th, 6 BC.

And I mentioned US because I live there. Fancy that.

Really? I was of the persuasion you lived in a cave in Afghanistan. Fancy that.

Well, it is winter to us, anything less than 20*C in summer usually indicates that something's gone wrong. We just have higher temperatures all year round.

But, DB, wally never argued what I said.

By the way, how did you get that date? Just curious. I've always thought it was 2 BCE.

NPS: Get rid o' that avatar. It's freakin' annoying.

Discovery Channal, I think. It was about 2 years ago I watched it... they found some records a Bishop set down about 120 or so (regarding the actual birthdate of Jesus) and it's the most accurate so far, I guess.

I did for him.

Yeah. Thats almost embarassing as half of those 'Australian' slang lists out there. Who has ever called the Harbour Bridge a coathanger?

What state do you live in, Splod? In Melbourne, it's pretty much cold all year, execpt for in summer, when it gets very hot.
