For those of you on the other side of a pond, "going Postal" is a recent addition to the American vocabulary, referring to someone who freaks out while working for the Post Office and shoots up his coworkers. Seems to happen regularly over here. |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | I've heard of this phenomenon...it's pretty rare out here. In saying that, my wife and I owned and managed a small post office (Australia Post has a quasi franchise agreement and there're a lot of small post offices in small towns that are independently owned)up until 2 years ago.
We were located in a small seaside village about 5km (dunno what that is in miles..a couple I guess) from the seaside village in which we live. Combined population for the two villages is about 6000 so it's not a real busy place.
Ran the business for five years but got out following an armed robbery. Couldn't belive it was happening in such a small place.......So I guess "going postal" can happen anywhere.
WOW.....I've rambled on a bit there....but it's stopped me from having a smoke fo the past ten minutes :D |

on the other hand, smoking might help someone with a tim tam addiction. |

Location: New South Wales, Australia | Muzza...I didn't have any smokes on me so I limped into a nearby shop, bled all over their floor, bought a can of coke and then the smokes without even realising what I was doing. It's not just the physical addiction, it's all the other habits that go with it.
As for Randy's Tim Tams, I plan on sending some over to him in time for Christmas |

| You're wimping out here blue. I can tell. Another failed attempt.
Clavin eh?
We need to cast Cheers with characters from the OFC. Obviously the erudite, English speaking sophisticate that is Frazier Crane would be perfect for Templeman. Any other suggestions?
(Cliff is obviously Carla) |

Every failure gets you one step closer. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | So Oz, tell me, what do you say to yourself, every time you now light-up? Do you say, "Wow, it's so hard to quit!".... Well, guess what, you're not quitting.... you can't quit when you still smoke.
Save us the drama... |

(Cliff is obviously Carla) I thought Cliff would be Cliff.
And MWoody could be Woody. |

Oh, wrong chatroom...
Although I held Woody's character in high esteem I think I'm moving closer to "Coach".
I was hoping nobody labeled me as "Norm".
Oz - who are you - a Smoker or a Non-Smoker?
My suggestion: when you find yourself on the edge of giving in you need to sing a verse of "Waltzing Matilda". Call on your inner Aussie backbone to get you through!
Knowing full and well that if you cave in you must then sing "Oh Canada". |
