Jafo, on Real TV last night they had a bunch of different segments from down-under.

Tell you what, someone of those people were gluttons for pain!
One guy " Kangaroo Kid" has attempted to jump this house boat three times, and wiped out each time! He was laying on the ground with a dislocated hip and already talking about the next time
Oh and they had this drag race where the rail on the outside lost control and cut back to the inside, the guy on the inside popped his shute to back off and be missed, but got hit anyway, there was a camera right up against the railing the cars wiped out. Wild perspective.
Some Rodeo mis-haps also, hands caught in rigging and being bounced off the gates and stepped on, one horse sat on a guy, and they all jumped up and ran off after they got loose, and went on to finish the Rodeo

IPlural, that's what I need.. Multi Monitors and computers. I multi task so 1 just slows me down.
I just need a new electric line to my room. Anything more will continue to blow the breaker.

I cheated and added 3 breakers for the back office and ran new lines
My brother was asking me "What you looking for?" when I went up to his
shop with a box and was caught pilffering his shelves
I told him I was looking for the conduit, romax, boxes, outlets and breakers
he was going to need next weekend

Point of order Jafo .... WW1 popular song, "Over There".
One line of the chorus goes summat like "That Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming, etc".
Hmmmmmmm .... maybe that's where the "Over-sexed" tag comes from.
weaksid, yes indeed, it can be cured very quickly however.

They had to rope off a bush track so the locals wouldn't prang into it...

Jafo - what your're telling me is that in WWII even the boys from the sunshine belt were capable of behaving like yankees when far from home under min supervision! we had the same general complaints about them in the aftermath of our Civil War, so yankee shenanigans are not a new invention. and as Wombat stated, there are cures for that!
BTW - i must recant slightly on aussie toughness: seems one of your fellows has won our annual 98 story stairwell race to the top of the Empire State Building again. this fellow has great potential - i'm just not quite sure for what!
