It always amuses me that at the least excuse we all go back to being 5 year olds who find poos and breaking wind funny

Well I know I do

I just can't help visualising Matty poking about to find the ummm expelled bracket and rinsing it under the tap

I swallowed a Bingo Chip (wood) once as a kid. Doc made us look for it. BINGO!!! I found it.

B-12!

I wouldn't worry about it. A bracket is relatively little compared to other things that people swallow on a regular basis. And its probably not sharp enough to do any damage.

OBVIOUSLY!

Hahha, this thread is a great read though

Does that mean you didn't polish the bracket and will take it as is to your ortho?

KK, you need to make the font smaller.

Sorry to all you Aussies but I couldn't resist posting this.

I was flying from Auckland to Sydney a few weeks back with a guy from the US.

When he was filling in the arrival documents, he reached the question ...

If you are not an Australian citizen .... do you have any criminal convictions?

He looked up at me and said " I didn't know I still needed one"

Very droll, to be sure.

Bondi just wouldn't be the same without you lot.

An oldie, but still a good one, David!

It may be an oldie but, take it from me, it happened.

Cute retort lionfish!

Only prob is that Linda's avator does not show a Kiwi sheep ... and I can assure you that us Kiwi's no our sheep!

One of the things I enjoy most about living in Oz (except from the usually improved weather to the area of NZ I'm from), is the way we can joke with each other and have loads of laughs. I'd be disappointed if we couldn't continue a batter like this for weeks ... but maybe we need to do it elsewhere ... damn shame though ... as it's only starting to warm up!

Uh, I don't know about that....I'm a dreadful threadnapper and I need very little encouragement.

I'm impressed that you can tell a Kiwi sheep from an Aussie sheep. That's some power you've got there, KK.

You can probably tell that I'm a dyed in the wool city dweller. I'm getting very silly now. Ha ha!!

If anyone swallows the one of the sixpences from the Christmas pudding my aunt insists that it be retrieved later. I'm so glad I don't spend Christmas at my aunt's...

And I to think, I always thought getting the sixpence in your slice of pudding was meant to be good luck!

Getting it is good luck; it's the (albeit temporary) loss that's a problem! I suppose there's a lesson in there about chewing your food properly.

As for the comments about Australians (not mentioning any names... David

) - hmph!

Kiwis are required to give Aussies a hard time ... it's part of our job description

... and I won't even mention the rugby

Mention it all you like - I'm totally clueless about sport and delighted to keep it that way. I don't like Vegemite either, so there have been many threats to have me deported...
