From Australia we've had Neighbours, Home and Away, Prisoner Cell Block H, The Young Doctors, Tinga and Tucker, Rolf Harris, Paul Hogan and Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. I read somewhere that the only reason the Aussies keep making Neighbours is because the Brits keep buying it from them. Nobody in Australia gives a stuff who pushed Paul off the top of the building. Meanwhile here's a cat who likes bananas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Canada's air force also invades the US yearly. My work is on the migratory path for Canadian geese. Twice a year, there are 500 nasty poopy suspicious sketchy-looking big ol' flappy bois. We use them to tell the weather - if it's nice, we see the geese. If it's cold and snowing, no geese. Canadians are known for their easy going niceness. But I know the truth - Canada is full of hate, they just keep it all in their geese.

Back in the 17th Century, someone thought it would be a good idea to let a bunch of them loose in St. James' Park in London. Since then they've spread nationwide. You cee a goose in the UK, it's ten to one it's a Canada goose. NeuroTypical 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prisonchaplain Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 I'm confused. Rush Limbaugh was born/raised in Cape Girardeau, MO. He even attended Southeast Missouri State University, in the same city. He's not from Canada, is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the TV show. Murdoch is a detective in the Toronto police. He is very pragmatic, while his sidekick Crabtree is quite the opposite, forever coming up with outlandish theories involving werewolves and vampires. Their boss is a Yorkshireman called Inspector Brackenreid who's always shouting at the other cops - and anyone else he finds even mildly irritating (which is most people). Most episodes have Murdoch inventing some ingenious gadget to help him solve his case. He's a very devout Catholic. His girlfriend is a doctor.
