Surely a 7-11 shuts for 8 hours, or do you only have 16 hour days in Fostralia?

Well they had to get to their targets, and although they were of little protection it did keep their heads warm. Also kamikaze pilots thought of themselves as modern-day samurai, it was an honour thing to wear full "armour" into battle.

Next one - why isn't phonetic spelt the way it sounds?

7-11's never close. As jr said, presumably they used to shut

Does this thread even have a point anymore? It's off topic even for llm :eek:

But it is! The ph- is effectively one letter/character which we use an f sound for in English because we can't talk properly like those clever foreign types.

Why do people refer to Koalas as bears when they are a marsupial?

BTW Simon, none downunder actually drinks Fosters we export the ***** to the UK.

If you look in the mirror, why are left and right swapped around, but not up and down?

But as ph- isn't a letter in the English alphabet then surely it should be written as f ?

Did it ever HAVE a point?? I think it just started as a rant against team cohesion were the only possibly replies were going to be hints (boo-hiss cannae doe that!) or to go irrelevant.... hmmm not much of a choice.

And surely you shouldn't take U's out of the alphabet purely because it's an incovenience, but the Yanks did it.
