    Yep. Good point about us all being Aussie.

    Apart from anything else he makes his living playing a game called Australian rules football!
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Wait until Mantis reads this thread. Then we'll all be in strife.

                        Well if he is German or Croat and has a box head I'm gone, but I did say there is nothing wrong with it in my defence.

                            On his Twitter account he is all over the Croatian round ball team. Apologies Ledge, just the weird spelling of the name that throws me out, so I was curious. You are correct. He's Scray'lian.

                            Advance Scray'lian fair!

                                Hrovat is like a variation of the word Hrvat, which is what the Cro's call themselves like we call ourselves Aussie.

                                            and the French created the word cravat, for the article of clothing one usually wears around their necks, after seeing Croatians wearing them. They struggled with the annunciation of croat and came up with cravat

                                                That might be Howard's goal you're thinking of
                                                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
